Quietly suffocating/

The moon is mysterious and yearning but also frightening

The atmosphere of the film is restrained and full of characteristics of the times. From the visual style of the film, we can see that the film style and tone are gray. Deliberately create the characteristics of the times.

Throughout the film, the characterization and psychological construction of the characters are particularly obvious. The film captures Neal's first visual storytelling, describes his life around Neal's family, and further highlights the mutual influence of life and career.

Due to many misfortunes, Neal (Ryan Gosling)'s deep and melancholy eyes are particularly moving. Regardless of whether the actor is appropriate to Armstrong himself, RG is very suitable for the character image in the story. When he flew into the universe, he suddenly no longer felt sad, perhaps because the vast space relieved people, no matter how depressed, he would become insignificant.

In the face of my family, I can no longer conceal my grief

Neal was under pressure that no one could imagine for the moon landing plan. There are both national honors and personal reasons. And every test will be a journey of life. At the same time, public opinion pressures and responsibilities are even heavier.

The movie created the heavy depression on the eve of the Apollo moon landing project through Neal's panic, worry, fear, and collapse, and it was presented through portraits.

Neil bid farewell to his family and be alone

After experiencing many difficulties, he finally landed on the moon, prepared all kinds of equipment, and then opened the hatch, the soundtrack stopped, and the silence at that moment was suffocating.

Just like going through all kinds of hardships, the willow is bright, and what he feels is not carnival, but awe. We can't experience the mood of the moon-landers. It is the feeling that belongs to them alone. It is enough to make us feel awe in the realm of ignorance, and we are more yearning and looking forward to it.

First man on the moon: Neil Alden Armstrong
A small step for individuals, a big step for mankind

'Looking forward to the movie being able to be shown in domestic theaters, the style of the movie is deep, but it has connotations that are worth seeing'

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!
