Middle-aged bereaved, autistic, workaholic - also the first person to land on the moon

A middle-aged man who lost his beloved daughter, is not good at speaking, is severely autistic, and is a workaholic, but he is also the famous first person to land on the moon.

Damian Chazelle expressed the biographical story of the American national hero. Instead of praising the world and calling the world full of love, he chose the darkest moment of this middle-aged man. The 120 minutes of calm foreshadowing is only for the last moment of "letting go". The cool and pretentious long shots, no deliberately contrived dialogue, and no murmured poems, but the style is clear and straight to the hearts of the people.

A good play, a good story, always comes first.

    Bob Gilruth: Others will follow, and surely find their way home. But these men were the first, and they will remain the foremost in our hearts.

    Bob Gilruth: For every human being who looks up at the moon in nights to come will know there is some corner of another world that is forever mankind.
