In Manchester by the moon, the fantasy of selling sheep and dogs.

first man on the moon

It may have been sad when Armstrong stepped on the moon, but it was by no means so sad.

This is undoubtedly a movie with the [Moon Landing Incident Goat's Head] but selling [the author's pure fantasy dog ​​meat].

Armstrong was imagined as an unhappy and melancholy man, and Gosling used a displeased expression throughout.

Audiences who praise Gosling's acting skills will not come to the conclusion of false praise even if they pay a little attention to compare the changes in expressions.

The film spends a lot of time on the author's fictional husband and wife dialogue and family trivia based on other people's biographies.

Trying to use the woman behind each man and the family story to pave the way for the sadness of the protagonist of the movie.

The ambition seems to be to create the deep and abundant sense of suffering and loss of the Matthew McConaughey-esque protagonist of "Interstellar".

However, due to various reasons, even the protagonist of "Arrival" has not reached the depth of portrayal, showing a dull and delicate indifference.

The use of the hand-held shaking lens does not bring the characters closer to reality, but instead brings about a dream-like false out-of-focus.

Even in order to cater to Gosling's character's mood, the creators replaced the Apollo 11 launch scene on a sunny afternoon with a dark twilight, but this is undoubtedly worth the loss.

2019's "Interstellar Exploration" is regarded as an overwhelming film, interpreting people's love, family affection and loneliness in a space-scale background. Wishful thinking magnifies small human emotions without awe of space.

But in terms of atmosphere creation, this film is not even far behind "Interstellar Exploration".

There is something interesting at the end, that is, even if you go to the moon, in front of a woman, so what.

When Russian-style films describe major events and heroes in the former Soviet Union, they often fall into a large and empty epic sense and cannot enter into the individual.

It makes it impossible for people to have the empathy they should have with the characters on the screen, and an insurmountable gap appears.

American films are sometimes overly obsessed with building individuals, even at the cost of excess and misappropriating materials for building other narratives.

Encountering a skilled dream maker can control the ups and downs, and sometimes produce excellent works under the anti-cask theory.

Obviously, "The First Man on the Moon" belongs to one thing, and the part abandoned by the author fails to make up for the part that the author is obsessed with.

The sacrificed [Shocking Scenes and Unbalanced Narratives] have not been exchanged for [the three-dimensional brilliance and authenticity of the characters' hearts].

After going through a long and tedious accumulation of energy, the long-awaited performance of the space highlight has not been able to turn the tide.

Of course, there are many people who would like to leave the dead daughter's bracelet in the moon pit such a romantic expression of heartbreak.

But this is not at all unsatisfactory for the overall performance of Miheng's film, most of which are scattered like a pool of stagnant water.

I have never disliked works that are tame and dull, but if there are no stones at the bottom of a quiet river, and thunder is not heard in a silent place, it would be better to talk to yourself.

If you really want to understand the heart of a real historical figure, instead of watching other people's reprocessing of his floating fantasy, it is better to watch the documentary interviews and books written by the person concerned.

There are more things in this film, not related to exploration, not related to the moon landing, even in doubt, not related to Armstrong...

The creator just spent more than two hours writing about a man's bereavement under such a grand theme.

Maybe the background is replaced with any ordinary person's family story, and it will be better presented, or maybe the creator just wants to get on the moon and doesn't want to buy the account of the moon landing. The title of the first man on the moon is just a grand decoration.

There should be awe when looking up at the starry sky, so I believe that all earthly emotions will not be worth mentioning when they feel the vastness of the universe.

The joys and sorrows of life can be staged on the ground, don't take it to the sky, let alone the moon.

So please don't use the book "Manchester by the Sea" to make films like "First Man on the Moon".

First Man quotes

  • Deke Slayton: Why do you think space flight is important?

    Neil Armstrong: I had a few opportunities in the X-15 to observe the atmosphere. It was so thin, such a small part of the Earth that you could barely see it at all. And when you're down here in the crowd and you look up, it looks pretty big and you don't think about it too much. But when you get a different vantage point it changes your perspective.

  • Pete Conrad: Neil, I was sorry to hear about your daughter.

    Neil Armstrong: I'm sorry, is there a question?

    Pete Conrad: What I... What I mean is... Do you think it'll have an effect?

    Neil Armstrong: I think it would be unreasonable to assume that it wouldn't have some effect.
