Let's play Twister, let's play Risk (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Rating: 2/10 (22 December 2018)

First Man is a straightforwardly dull biographical film, that I couldn't relate to.
Along with being a genius, comes lack of personality and lack of humour it seems. Like Jerry said on "Seinfeld" He's got super strength, super speed.. I'm sure he's got super humor. Why? Why would that one area of his mind not be affected by the yellow sun of Earth? Ryan Gosling says the lines straight faced and never changes expression the entire film, not acting once.
Now every wife of a great man has to be a great woman, with presence, pa-lease. It's odd that no one has mentioned the scene of Janet walking into NASA. With the rest of the film being so straightforwardly dull and told with documentary style accuracy, this doesn't stand out as fabricated? I mean, in another film it wouldn't be out of place. In real life though, they wouldn't be told of her arrival. The mission's in jeopardy and lives are in peril, they're not going to stop doing their jobs to be chewed out by her. She would just sit there and wait. This is what the writers deemed worthy of actually making a film.
The personalities and lifestyle are cardboard cutouts, except Buzz and none of them I could connect or relate to. Why this Kyle Chandler gets these roles I'll never know, Whigham was available.
