Only cruel reality can pile up that plump ideal

Only the cruel reality of "First Man on the Moon" can pile up that plump ideal. The film tells the whole process of the legendary Neil Armstrong, who became the first man on the moon between 1961 and 1969. As a biopic of a character, the director shoots a completely different angle from other aviation themed films. There are no cool and high-end aviation facilities here, no lofty motivation to serve the country and the people, only the characters' inner struggles and within reach. die. Rather than wanting to succeed in landing on the moon, it is better to say that Armstrong wanted to see his deceased daughter, and this obsession supported him to participate in those dangerous missions time and time again. This is director Damien Chazelle's third novel after "Boom Drummer" and "La La Land". The overall rhythm of "First Man on the Moon" is obviously not as compact as the previous two. Personally, I feel right The excessive presentation of the family part makes the whole story protracted and tedious, but there has been great progress in the use of lens language. The biggest highlight is undoubtedly the narrative angle of the whole story. 7.5 points. ps: The details of fighting flies in the cockpit really impressed me too much.

First Man quotes

  • Neil Armstrong: I don't know what space exploration will uncover, but I don't think it'll be exploration just for the sake of exploration. I think it'll be more the fact that it allows us to see things. That maybe we should have seen a long time ago. But just haven't been able to until now.

  • Deke Slayton: Why do you think space flight is important?

    Neil Armstrong: I had a few opportunities in the X-15 to observe the atmosphere. It was so thin, such a small part of the Earth that you could barely see it at all. And when you're down here in the crowd and you look up, it looks pretty big and you don't think about it too much. But when you get a different vantage point it changes your perspective.
