[Space Cowboy Space Cowboy] This film The movie realizes such a crazy imagination

The Artisan Group, 1958
Before talking about this "old and strong" movie, I have to mention the self-directed and self-acted Clint Eastwood of this film. Eastwood has made his debut for more than 50 years, from actors, directors, producers, and even film soundtracks. He has very good results and is a rare all-round creator in Hollywood. The directed [American Sniper] [Letters from Iwo Jima] [Million Dollar Baby] are all textbook-like The classic [Space Cowboy] is a collection of four veteran movie stars who are over 250 years old. The superb acting skills are already worth seeing. In addition to maintaining the simple narrative technique of Eastwood style, this film is also one of the few Eastwoods with easy and humorous methods. Movie works directed by comedy style.
Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones, James Gonner, Donald Sutherland, four senior hard-bottom actors over 70 years old, play the main characters at the core of the film. In 1958, the four of them were the earliest astronaut training team in the United States [Master Group Members]. The four scientists are all military scientists. They were about to become the first astronauts in the United States to go to space. However, due to changes in their plans, the whole team of Dream Broken into space could not be selected for missions to space. A member of Eastwood was even replaced by an orangutan. Forty years later, a space satellite launched by the Soviet Union is about to crash the earth. The world can only count on the artisan team led by Eastwood to relieve this imminent space crisis. These four old men who dream of 40 years apart will eventually A dream of going to space.
The old man’s going to space is itself a topic full of contradictions and irony. Starting from the topic, it naturally derives a lot of fun. The harmony of the four actors of Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones, James Gonner and Donald Sutherland is perfect, and Eastwood’s stability is perfect. Resolute, hot prodigal son Tommy Lee Jones, good husband James Gonner, and suave Donald Sutherland; all four of them show very distinctive character personalities
【Space Cowboy】Although it is produced by the traditional Hollywood movie formula, there is no unexpected creativity and breakthrough in the shooting method and script writing, but it is still an excellent commercial film full of entertainment. From the perspective of the title, [Cowboy] should be more in line with the spirit of the film, just like a western movie. The old cowboys are not conquering the wild west, but the vastness of space; not just to bring down the bad guys and claim justice in the town, but to save the American people from the disaster of satellite crashes. The old astronaut is an effective subject choice, and more importantly, it is also a spiritual statement. Declaring age is not an obstacle between us and our dreams.
