The original film is called "the First man", but our distributors released it as the "Man on the moon". I consider this adaptation a big mistake. Domestic name suggests that key this story is the fact that the skyscraper on the moon, but not so. In the center of the story is Neil Armstrong his personal drama, but not the American space program. It is not a story about the conquest of the moon, but the story of the person whom it is easier to risk life in a tin in the hundreds of thousands of kilometers from lands speak with wife experienced loss.
I liked that here is a little text instead of words actions speak louder. Why a long soliloquy about pain and suffering, when all can be expressed, quietly escaping with the funeral. Why question of love when a simple touch of the hand, such subtleties in the picture very much, but the final scene is the real climax of the silent genius. On for most of history, the main character is silent and bad emotions. Sometimes there is a feeling that Armstrong — the robot life in which is maintained artificially. Even the service is not bring him the joy he like use it as an excuse to escape from home. This coldness could me, but already in the beginning of the film, events occur that explain such behavior, I felt sincere sympathy for the Nile. In the ocean, a discreet detachment and an extremely valuable rare moments when under the mask of indifference pulled out a sincere, strong emotions: playing with children, walk on the lawn, dancing with his wife, the bracelet flying into void, I will remember these scenes for a long time. Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy did a great and very fine acting job.
I won cinematography Linus Sandgren has created something amazing. Everything from quiet scenes dinner, ending the launching of rockets shot extremely realistic and with so incredibly beautiful. Separately want to mention the soundtrack, it is brilliant. Music creates the lion's share of the charm of the picture. Justin Hurwitz bound to get an Oscar.
Damien of Sazell in again did it. First he had me a musical Thriller "Obsession" in which emotional tension could be cut with a knife. Then fell in love with a romantic story of "La La lenda". Now hypnotized silent, stingy on the emotions, unequivocally compelling biographical drama. Thus, Shazell for three films were shown all the versatility of his talent..
PS I Sincerely do not understand why this product humbly presented in award season. On my opinion is a true work of art.
