First Man

Rating: 7/10 (7 April 2020)

The first opening film of Venice. Like Armstrong's own feat, the film's word-of-mouth may fall into polarization, and the strong national spirit permeated is worth pondering, but it is still one of the most important biopic films this year. Chazelei slightly lost the aura of the first two parts, and the patience of hard shooting led commander Gao to show enough restraint, but some of the bridge sections can still feel the burst and romance in our memory. The director deliberately blurs Armstrong's boundary of whether he is a lunatic or a mission to the moon, and restores it from all levels of his husband's father, colleagues and friends. The best effect is to be an ordinary man as a husband and father.
