A very typical American biographical film. There are not too many grand space scenes, but constantly outline Armstrong's space career with details and facial close-ups. The Apollo 11 moon landing only took up half an hour of the two-hour duration, and the emphasis on previous failures and sacrifices seems to imply that the moon landing is only a matter of course compared to this, or even worth mentioning? Commander Gao's performance is even more brilliant. The steady role of the astronaut makes it impossible for the protagonist to use too many lines to express the character, but in a large number of close-up shots, his expressive facial expressions make the performance perfect, with the first-person perspective. The camera, succeeded in bringing the audience, at least me, into the character. There are still conspiracy theories swirling about the authenticity of the moon landing. But rather than sing the praises of the moon landing, what the film might want the audience to see is the people who dedicate themselves to the aerospace industry
