If the Bollywood can take initiatives of producing films on various subjects, why has it failed to bring a film on a unique subject like the human journey to the moon? As I know, you know and we know that Adam was the first man on the earth who descended directly from the heaven up above so high.
The first man ascending on the moon was earthly Neil Armstrong, one among us. Despite the factual feat of our Rakesh Sharma’s spacewalk in the year 1984, our film producers could not concentrate upon making a film The First Man telling a vital tale of several years that helped Armstrong land on the human-less moon.
Although Neil Armstrong termed his landing on the earth’s satellite as mankind’ big leap yet this fresh film was critically appreciated as a giant Oscar-worthy leap by its director Damien Chazelle. The film obviously shows how a man despite tough emotional days with his loving family members opts for the risky moon-mission.
The picturisation of how a little girl dies, a wife remains silent; a father shows love to his son and a husband’s behaviour in difficult circumstances earns encomiums. This movie is a nice view of the struggle between emotions and hardships. What we shall be watching in the film is nothing but a fine portrayal of family characters and shift in their emotional sequences.
Unquestionably the film goes beyond the level of constant dramatic scenes and it touches an individual’s beating heart intensely. The hero fights an emotional battle of his two-year-old daughter Karen’s loss while departing on a historic moon journey completed during the sixties.
The way his emotions were filmed leaves audience spell-bound. When he strokes his fingers into her daughter’s golden hairs it shows his deep worry. When he manages to shake his son’s hand, an inner impatience impales him. A wife’s grasp of husband’s impassiveness has also been accurately directed.
