1969 the world witnessed a event that was something akin to fantasy turn into reality Man on the Moon a scene i i never witness myself (for obvious reasons). it was something that was mug up by us younglings for the sake exams so many times.thinking about it I do feel jealous of all that witnessed it live the feeling might have been so unique in itself.

the Film portrays the life of the Neil Armstrong (Ryan Gosling)…and i don’t need to explain who he is and is basically the story of the mans life before the moon.

the grandeur of space movies was something that is common spectacle of all the space oriented movies yet that this film holds itself back till the last moment to go there with technical and visual effects till then was more focused more on the human aspects and story that not many know of the man the first stepped on the lunar surface.

the point that i mentioned above can be also used to dishearten its viewer also as i upon my initial hr of the film was thinking the film feels slow and very bland, especially compared to what i was expecting but as the film develops the character and unravels the story and trauma of Neil we come to a better and maybe generally overlooked aspects of extraordinary people, that they to have lived a very human life. and that to me what made this film beautify it could have easily been about the landing more than anything but sticks more closely to the man than the mission.

the only issue that i found in this film and in many sense it could be nit picky is the lack of glamour and a tone that the film utilises create a sense of alienation to the film and its characters initially that does subsides as the story progresses.

104 movies down……..396 to go

see you soon
