Overall relatively average (influenced by interstellar travel and the like, after all, this part is a biopic) 7 points+

I really didn’t know before that the aerospace industry is so dangerous, and it is an extreme operation. At the same time, many people have been sacrificed. For example, many pilots died during the flight test phase. This is also unheard of.

To be the first, you still have to be willing to sacrifice. In order to do what you want to do, you have to sacrifice a stable life, family companionship, endure the pain of training, and learn professional knowledge. NO PAIN NO GAINS

This film is a process perspective, different from our view of the moon landing from a structural perspective. In terms of structure, the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union means that it is inevitable to force a country to land on the moon. But in the process, even temporary personal operations, have such a big impact on history. NEIL has operated at the limit many times, and continued to think when he told the tumbling infinitely, and made his own decision to save the field, this. . Really admire. In the last shot, he didn't show joy. In fact, he couldn't be more joyful in his life. A large number of teammates died one by one, and his daughter died. This kind of yearning for people and life was a huge blow. At first, he still had a smile. He went to test three teammates before the 11th, and he never saw him smile after that.

In fact, no one knew what he was thinking, from entering the hatch, to liftoff, to the moon, everything. Nobody knows.

I think the death of teammates one by one, in addition to despair, also gave him more fearless mind. This is also similar to breaking the pot and falling, but different, breaking the pot and falling is unbalanced and will give up at a critical moment.

Comparing with "Deadly Magic", then I feel that there is nothing to blame for the magician who is replicating himself infinitely and sacrificing himself. In order to pursue a certain excellence, a lot of sacrifices are required.

First Man quotes

  • Janet Armstrong: Pat doesn't have a husband. Those kids, they don't have a father anymore. Do you understand what that means? What are the chances that's going to be Ricky and Mark? And I can't tell them that their dad spent the last few minutes packing his briefcase! You're gonna sit them down. Both of them. And you're going to prepare them for the fact that you might not ever come home. You're doing that. You. Not me. I'm done.

  • Deke Slayton: Jan, you have to trust us. We've got this under control.

    Janet Armstrong: No, you don't. All these protocols and procedures to make it seem like you have it under control. But you're a bunch of boys making models out of balsa wood! You don't have anything under control!
