First Man

‘First Man’ is an American biographical drama film directed by Damien Chazelle and written by Josh Singer.

The film is based on the book First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong written by James R. Hansen, with Ryan Gosling in the role of Neil Armstrong.

I have always been fascinated about the space programme, the largest project to date in our history, and I have read mist of the books and seen the films. I love the early books and films lile ‘The Right Stuff” and “Apollo 13” as well as recent work like “Hidden Figures”. Great stories.

However this film, and the book, is different. It brings new perspectives to ome of the biggest stories ever told. It brings people and their feelings into the story. Great actors and Ryan Gosling in a potential Oscar Academy Award performance makes this one of my favourite movies in a long time.

‘First Man’ is an amazing really big, big movie. One of the best this year. Don’t miss it.
