Astronauts, atmosphere, biography, as a guy who can't help but have a curiosity and a good impression of the universe, he will not bear to give a low score to a film with these keywords appearing at the same time.
The first time I watched this film, at that time, after the fuselage experienced the collision of the troposphere with the dark clouds and airflow, the simple and honest white metal cylinder finally stumbled and jumped into the stratosphere. After losing the filtering of the cloud layer, it was more dazzling than usual. The sun shines through the small rounded glass window that is as simple and honest as the fuselage and has some scratches.
At that time, it was the first time an advanced primate ground biped walking animal took an airplane. In that flying iron cylinder, this film was played on the on-demand screen in front. Amid the unpleasant sound of the engines, Armstrong and his colleagues stalled or crashed in various aircraft. Suddenly, I was shocked: Why did I watch this film of all kinds of planes and machines crashing and dying when I first flew to the sky? !
So see you soon. First, I got mixed up with "Moon" and forgot. It is also because I always have respect for space exploration, so I will watch such a simple space biography film one step less, so I will watch it slowly.
This film says:
In the first half, it was a little bit, and the second half was almost a little bit. I want to highlight the character of the real Armstrong, but this difficult-to-reach field of work and the character of the prototype characters, the psychological description that requires more attention than ordinary films to understand has been intentionally downplayed.
On the one hand, I want to try to get closer to the documentary and reduce the music and emotional lines.
On the one hand, because of the need to take care of different characters to increase the emotional profile of the protagonist who does not speak much, but because of the limited space, the psychological description is not enough.
As a result, the film is sandwiched between realism and lyricism, and both sides are not fully implemented, so there is a feeling of "not cool", and the lyricism is not in place. It's like eating a steamed bun, and in the end it is a steamed bun, but in the end, there is still a little stuffing, ah, it is a steamed bun with a thick skin.
There is music, but in retrospect it still feels like a very quiet film. Space and music really go together. In 2011: A Space Odyssey, I felt that the music was stealing the scene at first, but in the constant-speed footage that was faithfully recorded later, the gasping sound amplified by tension and fear in the silence could not be ignored. Let Zarathustra speak thus! Probably the vacuum is too quiet, too empty, in a quiet and dark environment, too concentrated audio-visual attention, mute can tell more emotions, grand and nervous loneliness... It needs ambient sound or BGM to fill this empty anxiety, so Music became an essential element of appearance in space.
The protagonist is very suitable for space, with a stable and calm appearance and way of thinking. Commander Gao’s dead fish eyes and facial paralysis fit the protagonist’s character very well. He has excellent grades and can perfectly separate work and life. He rarely shows emotion, his thinking is clear, and his emotional expression is cold to the point of indifference. Dumbness, such a personality, makes it a suitable candidate in this industry to minimize the variables caused by human emotions like a robot. But also because of these characters, in fact, his life has already made a lot of compromises with his work. Fortunately, he has a good wife who is considerate, understanding and housekeeping, so that he can concentrate on his work calmly and as usual.
Although I have seen all kinds of quiet and magnificent space in different space movies, more gorgeous visual effects.
But such a flat, straightforward and restrained shot gives people an unadorned awe. Because this is true, it exists outside the atmosphere, a beauty that few people have seen, a new field of exploration and imagination, and there are always people working hard to break through that atmosphere,
This kind of high-precision business, in my imagination, in the trajectory calculated by mathematical physics, even any appearance details and weight of the spacecraft should be accurate, and even the folds of the space suit should not be there. Although it is naive, it is This is the imagination of a liberal arts student for such a large investment in high-precision equipment and even the industrial field.
But looking back at the reality, whether the Congress has invested money, whether the people support it, whether the progress can catch up, where does the media dig news from, and whether the significance of this project is still simple... After seeing the flies in the cabin and the simplicity, I even doubt whether it will When I saw the leaky shot of the return capsule, I thought it was a Soviet spacecraft, probably because the cockroach in "Space Rescue" was so impressive. Then I watched with my own eyes when the staff next to me took out the Swiss Army Knife and took out the waste in the buckle. Everyone understands to some extent that under the reality that too many factors are mutually restrained and coerced, each colleague who enters space may be just a pawn in a multi-party confrontation.
Despite all the problems, I still can't bear to give this film a low score. Time and time again to overcome the threat of gravity, the discomfort of gravitational acceleration, a fire or an out of control docking bay. A veritable game for the high-IQ and high-risk brave. I have seen too many rockets and space, and I have become accustomed to losing the ability to shock and move. Every time I see the pale blue horizon, it brings tears to my eyes, shortness of breath, and a pounding in my chest. Cassini couldn't bear to think about it. As soon as he saw the golden shell, this guy felt as if he had pressed some strange switch and his nose could not stop twitching.
The reason why this film does not feel exciting and enjoyable is probably because this is not a superhero movie. The director suppresses the lyricism in the silent close-up of the protagonist, in the dark corridor background, the slow rhythm and other empty shots. But the tension of the plot still exists, probably because when the tragic but not overly atmospheric music sounded, it was just an ordinary person who walked onto the launch pad. He had no superpower to save the world, no extra buff, and would vomit during training. Get off your work clothes, drink in the calm chaos of life, attend a colleague's funeral, wipe the blood from the wound on your head. Saying "it's just my job", adjusting the mentality and packing silently and mechanically to avoid the fact of "going to the bedroom and telling the kids that he might never come back".
About the moon landing: Because of this movie, I went to play apollo 11, a game that simulates the moon landing on the ios mobile phone, but it is a pity, the game needs to be played through positioning, in the small bedroom from the balcony to the living room, climbed to the bed and can't reach the landing Next to the device, but going downstairs to the square to count the steps with the phone in hand is like an idiot. I have no choice but to put it down after only a few lines in the first level, but it saves the cost of buying a pro.
