This afternoon,my movie buddy,Alexei&I went to see movie'The First Man' NASA in the 60's early space programs Gemini and Apollo,how Neil Armstrong became the 1st man to land on the moon in '69
I learned some things about Armstrong,didn't know he and his wife Jane lost their young daughter,Karen to cancer,how it affected Neil the rest of his life, was a very private person unlike some of his fellow astronauts
The producers/director used actual footage of the NASA programs along with the moon landing
Ryan Gosling was good as Armstrong,as was British actress,Claire Foy who played Neil's wife, Jane,with a very convincing American accent The movie was directed by Damien Chazelle who directed Ryan last yr in'La,La Land'
There were some intense scenes,you felt like you were right there. A few of the images remind us both of the movie'Gravity'
We enjoyed it, our biggest complaint was the pace of the movie was too slow Sue
