    Feel the once-simple American theme. I don't know if the United States was still relatively conservative at that time, and many of the colorful scenes looked a little green, and the details of how the wives would blush when they swear together were stunned. Before watching it, I deliberately went to understand the background of the times, so as not to be overwhelmed by the rhythm that the director explained. However, during the viewing process, the lineup of seven pilots was still somewhat...

    I thought it was a serious space drama, but the first half is actually so funny. Starting and ending with a character unrelated to the main story, it was rare to see this kind of storytelling in the '80s. The editing award is well deserved, Kubrick didn't dare to edit the monkey and John Glenn in...

    The sound and picture are beautiful, but the plot is messy. Is it a matter of editing? Ed Harris is so...

    More than three hours is a bit long, but not very boring, at least sit for these three hours. The first half is witty and humorous, but there is a hint of tension, excitement and sadness, which reminds me of "The First Man on the Moon"; the space agency with a noisy retro style reminds me of "Captain Marvel" and "Top Gun"; rubbing flames in space and successfully landing on Earth through the atmosphere, which reminds me of "Gravity" and so on. Indeed, it can be said that this film provided too...

    [B+] is excellent, but lacks surprises. Very stable, but also so calm. A very watchable documentary about the American Dream in the late Cold War 40 years ago. Even I watched it with some blood. The patriotic theme covers the whole film and at the same time alludes to the pursuit of the system in the Cold War. It's a little long, but the characterization is very good, and the group portraits are more brilliant. Not only the seven astronauts are three-dimensional, but even the wife behind them...

    An ode to the splendid American spirit, flying in the blue sky is the dream of every generation of people. Perseverance, freedom, challenges, dreams, and epic descriptions are actually spiritual wealth belonging to all...

    Space Cowboys, Starship Troopers, Pioneers of Billy Lynn. Big, ironic, vulgar. At the beginning, seeing fighter planes on horseback, connecting western films and space films, the glorious American mythology is constantly flowing. Every time I break the limit, I will see a rainbow-colored illusion, which is very cleverly...

    The ace pilot in World War II, Chuck Yeager, broke the sound barrier and challenged the 104,000-foot high-altitude flight with the NF104A. This is the most exciting part in my opinion. The film is mainly based on merit, but there is also no lack of complaints about high-level executives. At that time, the US-Soviet space competition made NASA consistent Contempt for Feian, and later the space shuttle was a typical product. The challenger accident investigation turned to Boeing for help, and...

    From scarlet sky to starry sky

    I found that in many places, people's attitude towards talents is that Ye Gong is good for dragons. I shouted how to look for talents, but when I really use people, I always like to find people who are easy to manipulate, some people who are inferior to my own ability, and the result is that the...

The Right Stuff quotes

  • Jack Ridley: [talking to TV] Attaboy, Gus!

    [talking to Yeager]

    Jack Ridley: Pull that stuff on flight test, it's all over for him. I say he screwed the pooch, pardner. Plain and simple.

    Chuck Yeager: Yeah, well, sometimes you get a pooch that can't be screwed, ya know?

    Liaison Man: [chuckling] Exactly! Right now the President's got his own problems with the Bay of Pigs, he doesn't want the astronauts' image tarnished. Nothing these guys do is gonna be called a failure. You'd think the public would know they're just doing what monkeys have done.

    Chuck Yeager: Monkeys? You think a monkey knows he's sittin' on a rocket that might explode? These astronaut boys, they know that, see? I'll tell you somethin'. Takes a special kind of man to volunteer for a suicide mission, especially when it's on TV. Ol' Gus, he did alright.
