It is not obvious that Cha Zelei is a director born in 1985, and his skills are too skilled.
If "La La Land" is a realistic story told in the form of romanticism, then this film is a complete realism from form to content.
In the family scene, he designed a large number of hand-held, over-the-shoulder close-up shots to convey the nervous and anxious emotions of Neil and Jane. At the same time, he also artificially increased the graininess of these shots, making these pictures rich in film quality, thus strengthening the The age of the film. In several sailing scenes, the subjective lens of Neil's perspective accounts for a considerable proportion. At the same time, Chazelle also set up camera positions on the sides of rockets and spaceships. This is the way of shooting documentaries and news. Such scenes appear in the film and are not harmonious, but extremely realistic.
In the text, 30% to 40% of the content of the film is describing Armstrong's family and the mood swings of his wife Jane, which may reflect the traditional American conservatism's concern for the family, or the director himself has been subjected to feminism. Influence is good. Chazelle did not overplay the legend of this deed, but paid more attention to depicting Armstrong's ordinary life, which should be related to the basis of the film text, that is, Armstrong's own autobiography, which is also very good.
Being able and willing to express the ordinary life of heroic characters, while excavating the legendary stories of the general public and all living beings, is also one of the charms of popular culture.
