[@cleverusername9369]

This really demonstrates aspects of the lunar landing I'd never considered, for example, how mind blowing fast the LM was traveling over the surface prior to landing, the relative fragility and primitiveness of the spacecraft, the muscle memory the astronauts had to develop, the dangers of the landing itself, to say nothing of the flight as a whole, the cool demeanors maintained by everyone involved, and really just how insane of an undertaking this was, so soon after man discovered flight.

The lunar module would land itself. That's the awesome part. The crew were there to monitor it's performance in performing that landing and relay critical info/cross check with ground control. This is akin to a gung ho seat of their pants dramatic version i.e. 12 minutes of actual controlled descent cut down to a couple of minutes and exagerrated for dramatic effect.

Imagine if Buzz and Armstrong had to listen to this music while trying to focus and land.

[@fairfaxphil]

I like think that music just naturally plays in their head. That's why they didn't panic when their fuel was low, the computer was overwhelmed, or the landing site was too rough. Just go to manual, focus on their training, and find an alternate landing site. Most importantly, with the largest audience ever 240,000 miles away-They made it look easy!

[@GlassChicken]

They were listening to the Blue Danube Waltz in their heads

[@madezra64]

Gonna be honest, not even remotely moved by the musical composition of this movie. It's not BAD music but to me it just does not even remotely convey the depth of what going to the moon really meant. To be fair I know why the music was written the way it was after listening to an interview from the director but I disagree with it unfortunately. Just being nit picky though. I personally feel the music needs more depth. The movie needed Hans Zimmer.

[@nocturnal7345]

3:57 - 4:09 I really love this scene so much. The way they angled the camera facing toward the surface of the moon, like the real one, and the subtle music/score after the landing. It's like "they did it, they finally did it". Such an amazing movie.

[@NxDoyle]

This movie captured something far more personal than it might have suggested at first blush. It wasn't all about the adventure of humans leaving one celestial body for another, although the achievement is one of our most immense and important. It was about the love of a father for his lost child. It's the one thing that really stuck with me after watching.

[@ecurb10]

Nx Doyle, yep, you got it. It didn't just depict that historic moment and leading up to it, but it added that extra layer of his relationship with his daughter. That music theme in the soundtrack is his daughter's theme, lilting in the background as he's concentrating on his landing. His daughter never left him...... (Shit....I got tears now just thinking about it...)

[@theonofswords3764]

So true. The loss of his daughter was his worst fear and it happened. It made him fearless to the dangers of traveling to the moon. He was doing it for her.

[@Knohltorious]

You guys nailed it. I'm a manned space enthusiast, so anytime I see a film about manned space I'm all over it. The moon landing was used to tell an even larger story. Being the first man to walk on the moon pales in comparison to a father's love for his child. I saw this film in the theater alone while on business in California. I was a wreck, and all I wanted to do was hug my girls tight back in Florida.

[@ActionJackson1982]

this scene was amazing to see on the big screen, gave me chills... still does

[@comeontars]

That shot is so freaking sick

[@keithharris7569]

I watched the landing live on TV way back in 1969.... This is wonderful...

[@Captain_Aubie]

Had the pleasure of meeting Dr. James Hansen, the author of "First Man" at my wedding back in 1994. For many years Armstrong had famously turned down other authors for an authorized biography, but he liked the fact that Hansen was a long time historian of aviation history (at Auburn) and enjoyed his other books which would bring this perspective to his incredible life story. And Armstrong also said that three decades after Apollo 11 "it was time".

[@Foldy435]

Does Ryan Gosling pick roles that have the fewest lines?

[@HungryTacoBoy]

Drive, Blade Runner 2049, and now First Man.

[@dynjarren7523]

No, the directors know he no talk good so they cut lines. He look good so he should no talk.

[@Munkenba]

@@dynjarren7523 That is so insanely dumb I don't know what angle I'm supposed to approach it from.

[@GHound420]

You clearly haven’t seen The Big Short; or Half Nelson.

[@giacomochiaba3523]

He talks in other ways and in this movie he has said a lot.

[@ajw8623]

Because of the significants of this moment in human history there should be over a billion views.

[@nasaandtheesa5400]

1:14 that scene gave me chills. They executed the moon landing scene well just like interstellar especially with the soundtrack man.This movie was amazing and absolutely stunning to watch. Edit: also happy 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing

[@carlosszr]

same to me.

[@saturnv2419]

This scene is absolutely breath-taking if you watch in IMAX.

[@HopliteWarlord]

What cool heads Neil and Buzz had to have to funtion under this type pressure knowing they could have ended up stranded on this hostile, deadly world. Hats off to these brave men!

[@ranaghast]

Check out For All Mankind, it's an alternative history where the space race continues. In the first episode, buzz and neil nearly get stranded on the moon

[@jamesfrank3213]

Nixon had a backup speech prepared if the mission was aborted or the LM crashed. Had the LM Descent Stage run out of fuel the Ascent Stage would automatically engage to return them to lunar orbit and reunite with the CM/SM Columbia.

[@troymcclure5612]

I was only half paying attention to this movie and wasn't expecting much of the landing scene since we all know the result. But this scene was shockingly effective.

[@ok.6539]

Happy 50th Anniversary, Apollo 11!

[@-First-Last]

That MOVIE was so inferior to this one.

[@densonconnii133]

I love how the exterior scenes are silent, just like the vacuum of space. The pov scenes are amazing also.

[@nicolasgomez5577]

I swear to God, the music of Justin Hurwitz it's just magical in every single aspect

[@GeistGuy]

This was.over half a century ago and, other than the rest of Apollo missions, we still haven't gone back. America is a different country than it once was.

[@bobbycvsixfour5258]

I was 10 years old and remembered the landing. We as a Family just like the Rest of America, watched and watched and watched. FINALLY, the Astronauts walk on the Moon. I was living in Denver, CO and walked out our front door facing East and remember looking directly at the MOON. KNOWING THAT there were 2 Men standing on the Moon. Every night I would look at the Moon. I WILL NEVER FORGET. Armstrong, his Naval Training, don't crack under pressure, make the landing on the Moon. Who was the 1st Astronaut? Shephard USN, 1st Orbit, Naval Aviator, yes USMC but still a Naval Aviator. Apollo 13, Lovell USN - stayed cool and saved the crew. What were the firsts USN, USMC, USN and USN

[@chestlerct5210]

Jury Gagarin first in space

[@chestlerct5210]

Yiry Gagarin first man in the space

[@bradwooldidge6979]

I was 10 too. I remember looking at moon as well. And everything else about that day!

[@Archris17]

Technically he's not wrong about Shepard being the first ASTROnaut. Yuri Gagarin was a COSMOnaut. Don't ask me why the Soviets had a different name, but I remember reading that they thought the Americans were terribly arrogant in their naming for some reason, like 'Astro' was bragging or something.

[@christianewert1461]

First satellite... Soviet First animal... Soviet First man... Soviet First woman... Soviet First pic of moons backside... Soviet First station... Soviet Invention of liquid propellant rocket... German Saturn 5... German

[@JStarStar00]

In contrast to this clip, in which Buzz Aldrin is yelping in near-panic most of the time, in real life the one time his voice DID raise was when Neil was flying horizontally to get over the crater, and he stepped up his horizontal speed to 47 fps forward (about 30 mph). He said, "you're pegged on horizontal velocity," and Neil had to slow it down.

[@gabcote5450]

1:13 sent shivers down my spine

[@bufordt.justice467]

Such a damn good movie. The music was out of this world, just phenomenal

[@aldershot5100]

Mr Armstrong; What a skilled cool bloke

[@Puzzoozoo]

Everyone remember, the LEM was landed under manual control with a pilot flying it, not a computer.

[@AlasdairGR]

1:13 Very few mainstream and big budget films have sweeping and incredible scores like this anymore. Most movies with great music are either indie or low budget. It’s always great to see higher budget films still putting importance on the score.

[@stagna1959]

Radio waves travel almost 3 seconds from Moon to Earth and back. So their real conversations with Houston always had quite long pauses because of this delay . It is going to be lot worse with Mars, delay is several minutes

[@WJstudios04]

1:12 that stare, epic

[@leejackson4724]

Gosling did a great job of capturing Armstrong

[@vermontvermont9292]

I feel like this movie not only is the most accurate, but it also captures the feel of the time perfectly. How this movie didn't win every award is beyond me.

[@primus7776]

Fabulous: At 65 I'm still emotional watching this. I was 14 at the time. For Christmas I was gifted the "Eagle Book of Rockets and Space Travel"...before the Apollo 11 landing. For a childs book it was/is rammed with info about the Space Program. It was actually humbling even then to see what these guys, and NASA achieved. Currently reading First Man, the bio of Neil Armstrong. 50+ years on, one despairs at the current mindless, mundane and pitiful preoccupations of certain people...This was a unifying human endeavour. We need a reprise (preferably not Jeff Bezos though , please)

[@gogamarra]

Not sure, but It appears from news footage that the public did not realize during the landing that Eagle had overshot the Landing Zone, was running low on fuel or that Armstrong was hovering around for a landing zone on manual. Do you recall if this was ever revealed in post news commentary. Wally Schirra who was with Cronkite would have understood but he didn’t communicate the implications during the broadcast. Cronkite was ready to feint as it was. Maybe that played a factor.

[@michaelbryant2824]

"I'm going manual" is as baller as it gets.

[@stevetheduck1425]

He didn't say it, he just did it, too.
