Although there is no sadness and excitement after reading it, the emotions cannot be dispersed for a long time, like being struck with a wooden stick across the Cihai Sea, the surface is intact, but the heart is tumbling and boiling. If a movie can connect you with the emotions of the characters in the play, then it must be a good movie.
The excellence of the film technique does not need to be repeated. A large number of subjective shots and sports shots firmly grab your attention and keep your eyes on it; parallel editing and cross editing are just right to closely link the emotions of astronauts and their families in space; mute and The progressive back and forth of the music makes you hold your breath and clench your fists at times; the textbook-like lighting design allows each frame to be printed as a poster. Schazelle's cinematic technique has been perfected by the experience of "Boom Drummer" and "La La Land", and it can be compared with Cuaron's "Gravity", but it seems to be a little less spiritual.
But what I like more is the emotional expression in this film. The whole film uses a lot of close-up shots. In these shots, you can see the sadness, anger, forbearance, and determination under Neil's restrained expression. You can see Jenny's worry and panic on earth waiting for her husband to return. You can see The ignorance and fear of his two sons when they realized that their father might not be able to return. The moon landing will go down in history, but it could be a life and death for the family. Facing space, he is a hero of mankind, and returning home he is a husband, a father of two children, and a father who has lost a daughter.
One of the shots that hit me the most was when Neil had bruises all over his face after failing to test the lander on the ground, but when he looked up, he saw the white moon hanging in the sky. At this time, I couldn't help thinking of Chang'e flying to the moon, Wanhu Feitian, Daedalus, and everyone's childhood fantasy about the sky. This fantasy connects all mankind, because this may be the fate of mankind.
