    The bracelet scene could have been merely symbolic. It perhaps didn't literally happen, but it doesn't diminish the film's value and accuracy. It was a way the movie portrays the main protagonist coming to terms with the great personal loss, and that's all.

    Even though he would deny it adamantly, Neil Armstrong is in my opinion one of the greatest people to have ever lived. He went through so much hardship in life, and yet he persevered to become one of the few people to ever gaze back at the Earth from the surface of another interstellar body.

      Joe Rogan has created a lot of new moon landing conspiracy theorists. Armstrong was *always socially awkward,* everyone knew that. (x1,000)
      no, he was definitely at best, socially aloof. Guaranteed that if the U.S. had the chance to do it over, we would have picked a more sociable, charismatic guy to be the first guy on the moon. Jesus, he went into hiding for like 30 years and completely stayed out of any type of public eye.

    Neil was a pilot’s pilot. He was how we all strived to be as professionals: Competent, Disciplined, Trained, Objective, Analytical, Unflappable, Sound Under Pressure, and Calculated when doing our job or mission. Not many could do all those things at his level. His son is the spitting image of him. This is a true American icon, though he would give credit to 400,000 people who got him to the moon and back, “the tip of the spear” as he called it…

He only worked there a year as he knew Nixon was using him to meet dignitaries at The White House. Gosling did not play him as he actually was and he was different person. Humble, quiet and reserved individual that wanted to go back to teach which he did in Cinncy when his one year stint in D.C. was up. He told me hexwanted to flyvagain but knew NASA would never allow it.

      Now, the loss of a child is something I can't even begin to fathom. But seeing as how he kept calm through multiple life or death situations, I'd say it makes sense that he never showed much of a crack regarding his daughter's death.

    In the early 70's I remember exchanging a few letters with Neil Armstrong. As a child, I was stuck in a body cast for the better part of nine months and the teacher that schooled me at home had me write several astronauts. Several wrote back, Neil wrote back several times. Like a lot of kids back then, I wanted to be an astronaut when I grew up. I clearly remember Neil sharing with me that it took lots of people to help put astronauts on the moon. Even the janitors were important.
    I wish my mother had kept the letters. It still blows me away that he took the time to write back and forth a few times with a kid from Wisconsin.

    (Avoiding spoilers) I think in many ways to ask the question "Did Armstrong really leave you-know-what on the moon?" is to kind of miss the point. It's not important that the scene communicates 'the truth'. It's a piece of storytelling that communicates a poetic truth; a truth that's higher than what we literally known. This is what great storytelling does best. It plays with metaphor and emotion in a way that reality can't.

    He sort of copped out because it should be mentioned that he had aspbergers in which a person simply is not a people person and can be distant and remote. He was really focused on what he was doing and was not a ladies man nor a child raiser. He got married likely as a cover more than anything else. Had he been an affectionate ladies man and father he would not have accomplished what he did--so it was the wife and kids sacrifice. Its good however that he does not badmouth him and is very intelligent and carries on as he does--but the aspbergers should have been mentioned. He would come home likely simply to sleep and would not have even done that but he had to fake a family life.

    The movie tried to put an ordinary persona on a man that began to think that he could at least try to go to the moon. Neil Armstrong proved his ability to overcome many stressful episodes and survive to tell the story. His demeanor was portrayed as aloof at best. He was a person that could see a goal on the cusp of reality and how much that goal would mean to humanity , he focused on that objective. He had the training , he had the ability, he had the balls. He wanted to go, not for fame, not for glory and certainly not to spite his family. What a situation to be in. Nasa thought he was the one for the job , he thought he could do it and with his right hand man Buzz guiding and reliable Mike ready to pick them up, what could go wrong? Oh about a million things I guess. My point is that this is a great movie, I'll watch it as long as I live, and Neil Armstrong will always be a hero to all of us.

      Don't think Neils wife called them "boys" either.
      The Apollo command module had grime all over the switches and toggles also going, to the Moon.
      It was laughable, the technicians kept the LEM and Command capsule pristine.
      The special effect were good on the Gemini abort segment.
      Of course we know the reality of the spinning was so much worse and could not be duplicated.
      Neil reaching up and hitting the right switches to slow down was a incredible physical, feat in itself.
      He used his memory where the correct switches were;his vision was hindered by the spinning.
      To me it was the directors, depiction of Neil not a accurate one.

    Just watched the movie and was very, very disappointed that they ignored what Neil said as he made the landing and instead replaced his speech with a single word that he never actually uttered. As soon as the 1.5 metre probes that hung from the bottom of the landing module touched the surface, Neil knew there was just a 1.5 metre drop to the surface and that he then needed to follow the shutdown procedure and inform Houston that he and Buzz were on the surface. He did this with a supreme calmness considering the journey the astronauts had been on and the unimaginable stress of the landing he'd just successfully completed. His actual words from the moment the probes touched the moon's surface were "Contact light. Okay, engine stop. ACA out of descent. Modes control both auto, descent engine command override off. Engine arm off. 4-13 is in." The film just has him say "Contact light...shutdown." At least this was then followed by a recording of the actual Houston Capcom reply "We copy you down, Eagle." followed by Armstrong's famous "Houston, uh...Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." They also removed the last 6 seconds of the countdown to lift off from Cape Canaveral. Sad, Very sad.

Here is a man whose life and career spaned the Boar War-in which he took part in the last great cavalry charge (Omdurman) in history--- to the space age. And in between, he pulled off a little thing called-saving western civilization from Fascists. If he had given in to his ministers demands that England agree to hear Germay's terms of peace after the fall of France, all of Europe and possibly America would be unrecognisable today. Armstrong was a great man of the century due to his place in the rotation of the astronauts in the scheduling of the Apollo missions. All of the original astronauts-the Mercury 7 and the second generation which included Armstrong can and should be considered great men.

      ​@@larsdeb1 Hi. Well man. Apollo 13 is a great movie as sci-fi. I've seen it at the time it was released in the cinema. The problem is that it's the only movie about the moon mission for last 50 years until now. And of course it's A13 is not about landing. But anyway Apollo 13 is just a sci-fi propaganda BS. If you never wondered why they had this bad luck at 13th mission. I have and it was always to perfect for me. Here is the answer. This is how you write the scripts of fake events in real life. You're using allegedly accidental/right matching names, dates and numbers. And numbers are always included there - I want get into details to spare your time. But...
      "First Man" is also about fake events happening after always after the launch - but at least it's some way to honor great, humble human and pilot which Neil Armstrong was. The other thing is that he was in wrong time and wrong place and had to live with that for next 43 years refusing interviews. Great man. Sad story.
      But again Apollo 13 is fun to watch just like Star Trek, ET, Old Star Wars trilogy, Red Planet and Mission to Mars. Even the Martian which is just boring propaganda (allegedly based on future true stories - that's why they made it boring) is watchable for us, sci-fi lovers.
      ... In free time please try watching good old "Capricorn One" few times for real true story about 60s and NASA missions. Just replace Mars with The Moon. Any movie started "based on the true story" you can treat as scripted fiction or science-fiction at best. We need to find out how to distinguish Hollywood propaganda movies from Hollywood "truth right in the face" mocking movies. It's really fun to watch that all again with open eyes. Really not hard to tell which movie fits which category. Enjoy.

      @Nissim Levy Hi. I'm not sure if you're here to read or just post. But Yes it WAS a movie about "moon landings" in 1969-1972 all right. More like a Soap Opera aired on TV for 3 years. And now after 50 years finally we have a movie about that first part of the movie. About Apollo 11. Just after people started to question things for last 3 years too much. Emotional journey. Just check out that there was NO Moon Landing movie in Hollywood for 49 years. And now suddenly after 3 years of people questioning it - here we go. The first movie. But you're wrong it's not even about Moon Landing here - it's about life struggle of Neil Armstrong - who was a GREAT and humble man, AMAZING humanbeing and real role model. He just accidentally was in a wrong time and wrong place. Watch some interviews with him (there are not more than 4-5) you will get the point. He deserves the monument like that film. But not the "Moon Landing". Moon Landing story didn't deserve the movie at all. Even if we would love to believe in it. This is also why we didn't have Moon Landing movie for 49 years. Don't you think it's not possible in Hollywood. Not a Moon Landing Movie at all for the half of century ? Keep your mind open. Don't worry in 2015 I also still believed it was all true. And I was not a regular space ignorant I was a space travel fan and NASA fanboy. Reading books, watching documentaries not to mention Hollywood movies. Until I've started to watch official films "from the Moon" on official NASA channel and website about "Moon Landings". Well. I recommend that. Try it out yourself please for a while. For example. Put yourself in the place of astronauts carefreely jumping around - and just imagine if you would act the same way being for the first time personally on remote "planet", alone with just one guy by your side. Watch that and think about it with a fresh mind. Thanks. But of course what you believe in is your choice. You have the right for that. All the best to you.... and Happy New Year. Cheers.

    The USAF museum in Dayton is the Holy Grail for aviation nerds in my option. What an amazing place!

      +Flat Earth Debunker Good grief you are an idiot. Video Camera? If you are talking a self-contained camera/tape camcorder, they hadn't been sucessfully developed (not for another 10 years, dumbass). If you are talking live video, there certainly was some provided in lunar orbit, but not while the LM was separated from the CSM - the broadband transmissions of the video could interfere with comm/data operations of two vehicles and the video provided from the EVA on the moon. This WAS 1969 - they could do a lot, but not compared to what they could do now.
      Try to gain a miniscule shred of knowledge before you post your pathetic drivel.

    A local radio personality tells the story of attending a celebrity golf tournament. Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and the like attended as well. During lunch, the radio personality asked several kids running around what autographs they received. When the radio guy pointed to the elderly gentleman eating alone under a tent and said "Did you get Neil Armstrong's autograph?" The kids said "What team does he play for?" True story. P.S. Tanya O'Rourke is hot!

    It seems being a clown is more valued than being a serious and focused, courteous person.

    Although it's controversial if Neil was "chosen' to be the First to set foot on the Moon, no one could be disappointed if he was. A genuine , humble, intelligent Human. If I was in charge of selection back then, I definitely would have selected him to be first. Best Earth Ambasador ever..! R.I.P Neil, you achieved more in one lifetime than most would in 10.
