The main theme movie of the running account - "The First Man on the Moon"

Today, let's talk about the movie "The First Man on the Moon".

The film title First Man (2018), alias First Man / Moon Landing Pioneer (Taiwan).

The film is based on New York Times reporter James R. Hansen's biography "First Man: The Life of Neil Armstrong".

The content of the film is also very simple and straightforward, just like the title, it tells the story of Armstrong, the first man on the moon.

On July 20, 1969, Armstrong stepped out of the spacecraft and set foot on the moon, leaving the first human footprint on the lunar surface. At the same time, he also left the famous saying: "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."

As 2019 marks the 50th anniversary of the human landing on the moon, it makes perfect sense to take this opportunity to launch a theme movie.

The content of the film will not be repeated, just like what is written in the history book, several important node times in the Apollo 11 moon landing process are selected.

The focus was on the Gemini 8 mission that Armstrong participated in, which was the first docking of an orbiter in human history. Armstrong's daughter died of illness. Three astronauts were killed in a fire during the Apollo 1 test. and the final moon landing.

Although "First Man on the Moon" is the main theme movie, the film has always deliberately avoided a lot of things that promote the righteousness of the country, and there are only a few scenes of the Soviet-American hegemony and Kennedy's TV speech.

The director focused the conflict on Armstrong himself, from the loss of his young daughter to family conflicts, showing the trivial matters in the astronaut's family in every detail. I hope that by showing the untold poignant story behind this famous astronaut.

In fact, it is not so secretive and unknown. As the first person to land on the moon, he must have become famous all over the world, and curious people will definitely dig out all his secrets. Family and marriage will become topics that people talk about.

"The First Man on the Moon" takes the perspective of family emotions. Naturally, it wants to make the main theme movie a little different, but it has the feeling of a gossip tabloid.

The director of the film, Damien Chazelle, has filmed films such as "La La Land" and "Boom Drummer", which have received rave reviews.

"First Man on the Moon" is still a group of people from "La La Land" and "Boom Drummer", and the soundtrack, editing, and actors have not changed much. "La La Land" and "Booming Drummer" have done a great job and won numerous awards, but compared with the lofty and grand goal of human beings to conquer the stars and the sea, the pattern is still much smaller. If you still use the original inherent experience to shoot the moon landing plan, it will definitely appear that the pattern is not enough.

Compared with the previous works of the production team, this new film is a completely different type of film. It has left the familiar field, and Damien Chazelle's filming of the theme film really seems to be a bit constrained.

It is also a film about exploring space during the Cold War, and it is also taken from real historical events. The effect of this film is far less than the "Space Rescue" filmed by the Russians in 2017. Even though "First Man on the Moon" won the best visual effects at the 91st Academy Awards, the actual feeling is far less shocking than "Space Rescue".

A running account-style theme movie,

Gossip tabloid-like small see big.
