It feels that compared to the previous works, lalaland and the popping drummer, the director tried hard to be calm and calm this time. [I have to say that the shaking scenes are a bit long for an ordinary audience who has not paid much attention to the aerospace industry. . . 】 The last few minutes of the moon landing was really shocking and brilliant. One of Armstrong's words left a deep impression on me. I can't remember the original words. It was probably "Going to space is not about exploring for the sake of exploration." Countless astronauts have not only spent decades of time and effort, but also have to endure endless questions and interrogations from the world. But what is all this for? The battle between great powers, the lives of astronauts, the money of millions of taxpayers, is it all worth it? Aside from the gorgeous words, the propaganda of those in power, and the voices of the people, I don't know when human beings will be able to truly answer these questions with [historical facts]. Love High Commander. The grief she endured for a long time when she lost her daughter finally broke out, and the farewell to her family when she embarked on a journey with an uncertain future was vivid and vivid. When Armstrong looked at the boundless universe through the window in space, the curiosity and admiration flickering in his eyes were not human feelings for the universe. Claire Foy is also great. I feel that her performance is more forbearing than Commander High, but she is full of the deepest feelings of a wife and mother. 【Incoherent woo woo woo】

All in all, the flaws are not concealed. The flying and spinning tapes in the flight cabin, the stacked footprints on the moon, and the dropped bracelets, in the dark, the hustle and bustle of history gradually fades away, leaving only the tranquility between heaven and earth, and an unknown future.
