Under several close-up and super-close-up shots, Gosling's eyes seem to be able to speak. His azure blue eyes are deep and divine, as touching as the vast universe. The shape of the moon became clearer and clearer, and Armstrong looked out the window. It was a cosmic dream that the vast interstellar and human beings have had for hundreds of years. At this time, the camera is aimed at Gosling's eyes: the anticipation of landing in the dreamland; the fear of life and death; the nervousness of worrying about the failure of the mission; the excitement of getting closer to the dream; the melancholy when thinking of family...all kinds of complex emotions Gathered in Gosling's eyes, as if his eyes were a universe. Actress Claire Foy perfectly presents Janet Armstrong's inner world with a stunning performance. This year can be described as the year of Claire Foy's explosion. In addition to "First Man on the Moon", the elegant Claire Foy in "The Crown", the "Queen" who won the Emmy Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series again with the second season of "The Crown" also took over as Lu Ni Mara, starring in the second part of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" - "The Girl in the Spider's Web". Nominations for Best Supporting Actress in major awards seasons such as the Golden Globe Awards and the Critics Association Awards are a strong testament to her outstanding acting skills. The handsome Claire Foy in "The Girl in the Spider's Web" is the most important emotional support point in the whole film, and every appearance of Claire Foy is almost touching. The husband was nervous and worried before leaving, but had to pretend to be calm and tenacious; when he learned that his husband was in danger, he fought with reason; when he looked at his husband through the glass wall but couldn't touch it, he felt hopeful, affectionate, lonely and untouchable. Restraint...all these subtle, sincere expressions of emotion, all of which are sympathetic. In addition, the soundtrack created by Justin Hurwitz, an old friend who worked with Chazelle on "Boom Drummer" and "La La Land", is also an indispensable "role" in the film. The violently shaky footage, against the almost suffocating and urgency of the soundtrack, further reflects the hardships and dangers of the journey to the moon, and a few seconds later, when the lunar module is opened, the music slows down until it stops abruptly. There was silence. When the camera moves to the vast galaxy, a quiet and mysterious world comes into view: the breathtaking magnificence and vast expanse of the universe are not only a visual feast, but also a spiritual cleansing, allowing the audience to completely Immersive. When the camera turned to focus on the surface of the moon, the melodious symphony sounded soothingly, making the audience feel as if they were in the world created by "2001 A Space Odyssey". Every note seems to be brought to life, playing Armstrong's inner grandeur. When asked what was the most challenging task during filming, Ryan Gosling said it was getting Neil · Armstrong's son to watch the film. Armstrong's son, Mark Armstrong, was thoroughly impressed by the film's sincerity. In his opinion, the portrayal of the astronaut wives in the film is invaluable, and they are the greatest behind-the-scenes heroes of the human space journey. He said that he was very moved by the vivid restoration of the images of his parents in the film, and this very immersive viewing experience was very wonderful. In 1969, Kubrick used "2001 A Space Odyssey" to think about the future of mankind and the appearance of the universe. In the same year, Armstrong landed on the moon, and the dream of mankind for thousands of years finally became a reality.

First Man quotes

  • Neil Armstrong: That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

  • Neil Armstrong: I don't know what space exploration will uncover, but I don't think it'll be exploration just for the sake of exploration. I think it'll be more the fact that it allows us to see things. That maybe we should have seen a long time ago. But just haven't been able to until now.
