I went to watch First Man yesterday and when I walked out of the cinema I thought that I had seen something really beautiful and extremely sensorial (if that word makes sense) Just think that it is one of the best movies I've seen this year in the cinema so far, the actors are really well, Damien Chazelle took a very brave route and makes you feel inside Armstrong's skin at all times and well.. the cinematography is just as risky as it could be, I'm so glad that they made this movie. Linus talks about the fact that they approached the movie as a documentary from the 70s but with a more cinematic approach.. I do see some certain cinema vérité points in terms of setting up the scenes and just film them, letting the actors create their world but I certainly see that they knew what it was going to happen at all times. I love that they were able to hold conversations just on Armstrong's face without cutting to other things or that they stayed with Armstrong without cutting to wides.. as well as the score, which is really really good. Anyways! if you can watch it in the cinema, go and watch it, I really think that it is a piece of art that needs to experimented (for lack of another word) on the biggest screen you can go to.
