Product Description
Oscar®-winning director Damien Chazelle and star Ryan Gosling reteam for the riveting story behind the first manned mission to the moon, focusing on Neil Armstrong and the decade leading to the historic Apollo 11 flight. A visceral and intimate account told from Armstrong's perspective, based on the book by James R. Hansen, the film explores the triumphs and the cost—on Armstrong, his family, his colleagues and the nation itself—of one of the most dangerous missions in history.

From the very first scene, "First Man" grabs hold of your heartstrings and never lets go. Through its breathtaking visuals, haunting score, and gut-wrenching performances, it immerses you in the turbulent era of the space race, capturing the triumphs, the tragedies, and the indomitable human spirit that propelled mankind to the stars.
At the heart of the film is Ryan Gosling's breathtaking portrayal of Neil Armstrong. With his trademark intensity and quiet strength, Gosling brings Armstrong to life in a way that is nothing short of mesmerizing. From his struggles with loss and grief to his unwavering determination to push the boundaries of human exploration, Gosling captures every nuance of Armstrong's complex character with grace and authenticity.
But what truly sets "First Man" apart is its emotional depth. As we journey alongside Armstrong and his fellow astronauts, we are confronted with the harsh realities of their mission – the sacrifices, the dangers, and the profound toll it takes on their families. It's a raw and unflinching portrayal of the human cost of exploration, and it leaves a lump in your throat and tears in your eyes.
In the end, "First Man" is more than just a tearjerker – it's a cinematic masterpiece that leaves an indelible mark on your soul. With its breathtaking visuals, haunting score, and powerhouse performances, it's a testament to the power of cinema to inspire, to uplift, and to remind us of the boundless potential of the human spirit. So grab your tissues, buckle up, and prepare to be swept away on a journey to the stars – because "First Man" is a cinematic experience like no other.
The movie excels in the portrayal of space flight and the unusual incidents that Armstong faced, while the book reviewed each with ultra-dry attachment. Overall, the movie was a solid "meh," but at least it was better than the book.
"First Man" features a stellar cast led by another very fine, understated performance from Ryan Gosling as the titular astronaut. Gosling gives us a Neil Armstrong who is always fascinating to watch, regardless of whether he's flying an experimental spacecraft or listening to a lecture. Claire Foy is equally compelling in what could have been a much more formulaic role such as Kathleen Quinlan in "Apollo 13". Similarly, the rest of the ensemble- especially Kyle Chandler, Jason Clarke, Corey Stoll, and Lukas Haas- effectively play their historical characters as "real people" and never seem to be acting like, well, actors. They disappear into their roles and do not show off in ways most lesser actors would.
There are a surprisingly fair amount of detractors for this film, so I can't say as confidently as I should be able to that everyone and their mother's uncle needs to see it. The "flag/ patriotism controversy" was nothing short of moronic. I have seen critics from far-right and far-left perspectives tear this movie apart; hilariously and ironically, these two radical opposites seemed to work together in putting a dent in this film's performance, and may well have succeeded: while reviews were largely stellar for "First Man", it fell short of box office analysts' forecasts and was unable to recoup its relatively modest budget theatrically. This all echoes the odd fate of 1983's "The Right Stuff"; it too was a well-reviewed, Oscar-winning film about NASA's early days, and it too was ignored by audiences in its initial release.
*How* you watch this is vital for your appreciation of it. I recommend not watching this on anything less than a 40" TV and Blu-Ray; I saw it on a 50" on 4K UHD and was blown away by many sequences. I can't imagine watching it on a laptop or on DVD. While the documentary-style naturally prohibits "First Man" from being a definitively beautiful-looking film, the added details from 4K including ample film grain in the non-IMAX footage immerse us even further into the experience.
The film may take minor liberties with history (especially for Hollywood), yet due to strong performances, documentary-style filmmaking, and impeccable production values, "First Man" is a stunning achievement. Last but far from least, the score by Justin Hurwitz is one of the best original scores I have ever heard, and that's a lot of praise coming from a soundtrack aficionado; it is a sin this was not nominated by the Oscars in favor of far more unoriginal music.

Director Damien Chazelle brings us a biopic movie on the subject, with Ryan Gosling in the lead, that aims to shed some light on the man who was the first to walk on the moon.
This is not a biopic that covers his entire life, though. Just the decade before the Apollo eleven mission. During which time Neil Armstrong flew many different craft, often coming very close to catastrophe in some primitive and dangerous experimental machines. When he suffered personal loss. And when he became part of a mission that the whole world would watch. That could very easily have failed. How does some cope with all this?
First man has cinematography that makes it look like something from the era. The sound design is incredible, and it really makes you feel as if you are in these machines that are rickety and might come apart at any moment. But it also has human perspective.
Ryan Gosling's Neil is a fascinating watch, a man who doesn't seem to be able to articulate his feelings, even though he clearly has them, and a man of incredibly intense focus. Claire Foy also stands out for her portrayal of his wife Janet, who mans the home front under all the pressure while her husband is doing all this.
There's a lot of other figures from the history, some of whom you might blink and miss if you don't know the subject. But Corey Stoll [Eph from TV show 'the Strain] does manage to make an impression as Buzz Aldrin. And fans of tv show Gotham watch out for Riddler Corey Michael Smith as astronaut Roger Chaffee.
Even though you know how the sequence will go, the lunar landing ends up being one of the tensest bits of cinema you will ever see. And although it doesn't show the flag planting, it doesn't show the difficulties they had in take off either, so it's not as selective as it was accused of being.
This is a portrayal of one remarkable man who was at the centre of one remarkable achievement, and it brings it all to life in a manner you will never forget. With a subtle but memorable score as well. Well worth five stars.
