I couldn't go out for the past two days, so I finished watching the two seasons of [For All Mankind] in one go, a sci-fi drama that combines real history.
It tells about a series of spaceflight progress of the United States in the 1970s and 1990s, with the space competition between the United States and the Soviet Union as the main line, and the love, family, and personal pursuits between the various astronauts as the branch line.
The original intention of watching this drama is to be curious and to learn, and there are some small surprises after watching it...
First of all, I was pleasantly surprised to find that a series of names of American space projects have been seen in the previous university reading documents and are still fresh in my memory. Some of the academic explanations in the play also evoke some knowledge points that I have learned before. "Ha! I still remember this." It's a good feeling.
Second, I haven't seen a TV series that made me cry for a long time. There are three scenes in the two seasons of [For All Mankind] that made me cry: The first scene is that the male protagonist performs alone on the moon During the mission, his son died unexpectedly on Earth. A couple of astronauts who went on a mission together after years of divorce died together after dying to save everyone during a conflict with the Soviet Union on the moon. Every cry is not pure family affection, love or tragic feeling, but a soft and seamless combination of the three, so I can't help it. It feels good to watch a drama and find that I can still be moved to tears by certain scenes.
Third, the show depicts an archaic past and some outdated attitudes and circumstances. However, it gives the viewer a more modern perspective to see everything he depicts. Although the show is referring to the real history of American spaceflight, there are so many other more important things that the show wants to express, and that history becomes less important. (I was still surprised to wait if they would put the Challenger in the show, and then let a character die accidentally in this accident, but later found out that they didn't. They just used some lines to put one of the Challengers in. Mistakes have brought it over.) Art works, it is also good to modify and hide some history.
