Review of First Man (2018) by Rebecca P — 31 Oct 2018
I'm an avid space fan and eagerly anticipated this movie, but came away pretty disappointed. Too slow, too shaky, too brooding. I tried to keep an open mind on the flag issue, and treat it as an artistic choice, but after seeing it I think leaving it out was a very poor choice -- there were several scenes in the movie where Americans were questioning whether it was a waste of their money, so showing the flag being planted would have been a logical payoff for that setup, so leaving out the flag was a flawed choice in terms of story-telling.
