Review of First Man

If you are near sighted, like to view everything from 3 feet away and go through life with peripheral blinders on to understand your world, you might like this movie ---because this director doesn't know what a wide-angled lens is. If you feel the entire world around you should be viewed as emotionally depressing more than you seek to give a sense of triumph to mankind, you mike like this movie. If you feel all of the above then you will LOVE this director. This 'director' sits way atop the over-rated ones Hollywood spits out these days. Oh and.. they should put a Surgeon General's Warning on this director's ridiculous, 'gotta-be-different' just for the sake of 'being different' filming style, because if you suffer from epileptic seizures you won't like this movie. Best thing I can say about it: The sets, wardrobe, etc. are very authentic to the smallest detail. The worst thing I can say about this movie: It needed a different director, cinematographer and editor. ...oh, and script/writer(s). Neil Armstrong, American Heroes, NASA technological achievements, including the Lunar Landing are something to be celebrated by humanity and ESPECIALLY celebrated are the AMERICAN men and women at that time who made it all happen. This movie views it from the standpoint of filmmakers seemingly wanting to convey their own depressed, flawed view of humanity ahead of anything triumphant. Shame on them. I sure hope Neil Armstrong's family at least approved of this dismal take on an American Hero. Otherwise they should legally go after the makers of this film for wrongful defamation of character.
