Review of First Man (2018) by Shermy — 17 Oct 2018
Just saw it and I felt I was sitting thru a couple of hours of schmaltz. If we aren't looking into Armstrong's eyes, we are looking at his wife's eyes. At least she had a part to play, and did it well, where as Gosling/Armstrong part was to look and act like a statue of an astronaut.
And it's hard to give much credit for astronaut risk and bravery at a time when 50,000 US military (including 14,000 draftees)were giving up there lives in Vietnam.
