First of all, I don't write reviews a lot. In fact, it's very rare it comes from me. Usually I write them if I am wondering about something or if I get really impressed about the movie. In this case, it's the latter one.
From the moment this came on the cinema I wanted to watch it. I didn't believe it would be so good, but I had some hopes for it. I got really impressed after watching the movie. Damien Chazelle (director) did a excellent work with the timing of the music, the camera angles, the shadowing, etc. I.e. points that really matters. I think they did a great job not only on the developement of the NASA technology, but it also showed us the situation of the people and how they reacted to this project. I am glad that they told the story mostly how it really was, though I agree things got a bit dramatic and exaggerated. But then again this is a movie, you have to twist it somehow from the reality.
Usually Ryan Gosling (Neil Armstrong - actor) don't impress me very often. He is an alright actor, but here he did a great job. In my view he carried the movie. He did, in fact, a great job. His acting was superb and he did really a good job.
I have talked to my friends about how exaggerated they made it with the loss of his daughter. A friend meant that he got the impression that he went to the moon because he lost his daughter.
However, I got another impression. In my view, the loss of his daughter was quite heavy. We saw that he didn't talk about Karen (his daughter)'s death to anyone. In other words, he kept the sorrow of his loss all to himself. This affected him very much. To me, his dream about going to the moon was always there. He loved being an astronaut, but after the loss of his daughter this disturbed him both on job and funerals. This is something he had on his mind for a long.
What I really liked is how they symbolized that he accepted her death and let her go once he threw away her bracelet. At that point he accepted the fact that his daughter is gone and wanted to start a new life. It may have been a bit exaggerated, with that we saw her in his eyes a lot, but I feel like this was necessary to make us understand how heavy the loss of his daughter was for him.
There were one thing I didn't like in the movie. Personally, I believe it should have ended with once he threw away the bracelet. This would symbolize that he accepted her death and let it go from his mind. This would also symbolize that he wanted to start a new start with his family.
Overall, I found this movie very good. It was good in many ways. 7/9 is a fair rating from (which would be 5/6). I would recommend people to watch it! It may be one of the best movies of 2018, if not the best.
