This is the first time I want to write a serious film review. I will express my thoughts on this film as concisely and concisely as possible. It only represents some of my personal opinions. I hope I can become more and more proficient and find a direction. effort.
To say why "First Man" inspired me to express such a desire, it should be because the film gave me plenty of fun in interpreting it.
After watching the movie, I wiped away my very emotional tears and gave it a five-star satisfaction. First of all, this movie really touched me on the emotional level. Two nights after watching the movie, I tossed in bed thinking about every plot, every shot to understand what the director wanted to express, and I think I got a more self-consistent logic. At this time, rationally, I also I found a good reason to be moved.
Anyway, this isn't the first time I've tried to decipher the code hidden in the film, but it's the first time I've had a strong urge to write something.
On the play - pay attention to the individual's heart from the grand story background
In a nutshell, the experience of watching "The First Man on the Moon" reminds me of Rome, both of which focus on an individual in a macro-era environment. The main line of "The First Man on the Moon" tells the story of the moon landing, but the difference lies in whether it is "the story of the first man on the moon" or "the story of this man on the moon". The film obviously pays more attention to this individual and tries his best to Ignore the entire human category. For this reason, the film shows a lot of family scenes that have nothing to do with the moon landing, and this is the space for the director to play the author's attributes.
When it comes to family, it involves a theme about death in the film. The death of his daughter is extremely crucial here. This is the beginning of Neil and his family's alienation from the world. In fact, he is indulging in a sense of lack. This feeling runs through the whole film, and the clues of his daughter have been dotted in the film, including his daughter. The chain, seeing the familiar swing, and most obviously, Neil stared at his daughter's bed many times in a daze, and often fantasized about his daughter by his side. Later, the deaths of colleagues also affected him to varying degrees. The key is that the deaths in the whole film also helped Neil to embark on the journey to the moon step by step, so for Neil, the moon landing became a A journey of mourning with death at stake.
In the end, he landed on the moon, which is the most important scene in the whole film, and it is also the closure that completes the theme of death. The camera surrounds Neil in a 360-degree view of the endless nothingness, the white and cold everything on the moon. At this time, he is standing in front of a huge pit, just like he is looking at the tomb where his daughter slowly descends at the beginning of the film. He threw down his daughter's bracelet and "returned" it to his daughter, completing the final mourning for her daughter.
Audition - Focus on the closed cabin environment from exploring the boundless universe
In space-themed movies, such as "Gravity", "Interstellar", etc., the display of outer space and spacecraft is often the spectacle itself, which is the selling point, and in "First Man on the Moon" we hardly see the magnificent Landscape, the director used his own unique set of audio-visual systems to complete a space movie shooting that is as spectacular as possible.
