How accurate is 'First Man?' We asked Neil Armstrong's son
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2018
- Media portrayals of Neil Armstrong, who in 1969 became the first human being to set foot on the Moon, haven't always been accurate. That's according to someone who should know: His son, Cincinnati resident Mark Armstrong, who consulted on the latest and -- he believes -- most true-to-life depiction of his father's journey.

God he looks like his Dad.
spartacusvikinga Should have played his dad in the movie ;)
Yeah, he looks almost exactly like his dad...lol.
@@martin.B777 I wonder who he was asked? But probably couldn't because of union rules
@Spanky Harland I don't buy that. His story would be very interesting as real as possible.
That's why a good documentary is better for historical subjects than dramatizations.
came here to say this :O
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.
For all we know it might have happened. The records containing what items Neil took with him contain in a sealed folder that he had donated to his Alma mater. Which will be opened as accordingly next year.
Beautiful symbolic scene!
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.
the moon isnt interstellar
Nice sentiment .. heavenly body maybe as our friend above is correct. Copy that. Over, Roger.
I agree . An American hero . A world hero
I agree from losing a daughter, his marriage during and after the Apollo 11 flight, depression and all other things. In his last years of life he was becoming more open and he a thing for life. I wish he was still alive today.
My dad, which also graduated fro Purdue as Neil did, designed the tail section of that black plane (X-15) and his company built the camera that filmed Armstrong and Aldrin on the moon.
Bob Morgan Great to hear, so tell me how "his company" managed to have a camera live streaming 238k miles away with no delay while talking with Nixon. Would be happy to criticize the battery powered transmitter for you, since in 1969 we did not have the technology for such a feat. Research flat earth Buzz is a traitor to humanity
Dave S.
Your only worthy of Idiot.

Satellite, moron.
Andrew Armstrong: _ You're_ the idiot
Daniel.. The Earth is a sphere...so obvious. (i don't believe it's flat) Laughable, i know.
But EQUALLY laughable is thinking we went to The Moon in 1969 etc No Way!!! LOL
Alexander the Great, Caesar, Colombus, Neil Armstrong, every kid will know his name for the rest of the existence of mankind.
which Caesar? There were 16.
... sadly today most kids in usa want to be on utubby & not these great men of history.... leaving it for ai?
You forgot Jesus of Nazareth and Socrates.

@@itsfrediguess7844 exactly
Reclusive...You mean modest and laconic, a decent human being.
We don't raise them to be like that anymore. Sad...
@@patrickdietze70 So true
A liar.
He wasn't into fame. Remember too Neil Armstrong didn't come from the social media era
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…
Would be great if what he left was a note saying "Welcome back. What took you so long?"
That would have been a very Neil thing to do. Maybe he wrote it in the ground dust?
He may not have foreseen,how long it would take.We don;t know yet,how long it will take.
I'm afraid it's going to be long. Revisiting old Apollo landing sites will eventually happen, but the science requires more interesting spots than Tranquility Base, I' guess. Pure sight seeing is long in the future and certainly not in our lifetime..
@@christelheadington1136 expecting moon bases by the 90s probably. Of course, the the apollo program ended before planned missions.
You do know there were several missions to the Moon after Armstrong was there right?
Just like his dad, a great guy. Good on him, i enjoyed that interview.
Neil Armstrong never came across as sad and depressed as was his character in "First Man".
Yeah. It seemed like they focused more on the daughter's death in the movie than would have been realistic because they wanted the character to look more unique and sympathetic.
@@IARRCSim I have witnessed several parents who lost children and I can assure you at least moments he was emotional about this. Maybe he was more internal about it than the movie suggests, the point remains the same.
Yeah, but it fits with his character in real life and the film. Under the most stressful and insane situations, Neil proved to somehow think rationally and keep his cool.
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.
A close friend of Neil Armstrong’s was told by him what he left for his daughter, so yes, that story is true. He also named a crater after her nickname. “Muffie’s crater.
He’s a spitting image of Neil
so basically the movie was pretty accurate af
such a relief to hear, too! always disappointing when you hear a movie wasn't accurate.
I love this movie.
@ This guy is not even talking about it being accurately portrayed... he's a flat earther who believes we've never been to space
@Graham Herbert HA HA YOUR ONE OF THE STUPID PEOPLE LIVING IN YOUR MOMS BASEMENT
Yeah no, didn't like the movie at all. A big fan of Neil Armstrong but the movie portrayed him like some sort of telemovie with fabulous action sequences stuffed up with shaky camera. Even the quiet scenes (most of the movie actually) had shaky cam. This guy is one of the hero's of the century and this movie was an injustice. Very disappointed.
@@Dont_Gnaw_on_the_Kitty_1 You may be right , but then again ,it's just that a movie ,and you know they always screw what's real .and get fantasy correct .
@Graham HerbertShut up moontard. Its about a movie. Go to the conspiracy section.
Wow, Mark looks like his dad’s twin ;)
He does look a lot like his Dad. What a cool guy.
. . . . . and that (of course) means that his Dad went to the moon.
Jeeeezussss you Americans are so easy to fool.

this movie was unbelievable, just watched it. i have gained a MASSIVE appreciation for what these guys went through & accomplished because of this film. WOW. Neil Armstrong was a f***ing BOSS. highly recommended! 👍
My 6 year old just did a report on Noel Armstrong...which essentially means I did 😁. Words could never express the love and respect that has grown in my heart for this man! While writing the report, I instantly caught onto the fact that their baby girl died in their wedding anniversary:(. This was heartbreaking on top of heartbreak! I also know that they eventually divorced after the kids were grown up and gone. ☹️. Life hands us things and we simply do what we can with it, right? Neil
Armstrong was an exceptional man!! ❤️
"Noel Armstrong"? I guess your 6 year old would be better off writing his/her own report 😂
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.
They had nothing better to do than write similar letters, to help fake their way to-&-back from a Hollywood-Moon. For Mechanical engineering proof, copy-paste (NOT click) below link into another browser:

Neil sent me a letter after I got Eagle Scout
holy shit mark armstrong is the absolute image of his dad.... an absolutely fantastic book and film.
Thanks to this movie I watched "The right stuff" and HBO's "From the Earth to the Moon (miniseries)".Both production depict the early days of American space exploration. So if you feel that perhaps this movie is a little too cold I highly recommend watching those.
The right stuff is a hell of a movie! :)
movie? I read the book
yes, the movie doesn't hold a candle to the book
The miniseries was great, the right stuff was great, and I really enjoyed this movie. but they're completely different. Right stuff was an ensemble piece with a lot of sarcasm, this was much more serious.
Does anyone know of those are on HBO go
I'm really glad to see this interview because I wouldn't have watched the movie unless I knew Armstrong's family was on board. Will watch tonight ♥️
Is it true that Neil left Purdue with a letter to be opened in 2020 possibly with the list of personal items he took onboard?
I read the book. Long, but an in-depth recounting of Armstrong's life story. Worth the read, especially the infant picture where his mother, Viola, is holding her child who would become the first human being to ever step foot on another celestial body. Incredible!
I read that book from the library, then i bought it for my 16th birthday. I then proceeded to read it cover to cover multiple times, as well as Michael Collin's "Carrying the Fire".
That is really awesome that he shared that. Yeah and he sure does look like his dad.
Great interview and great movie. Thoroughly enjoyed it especially the directors use of POV.
(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.
That's fine as long as something is portrayed as storytelling and not as fact.
3:41 interesting how he talks to his son in a formal almost business-like manner
Gosling nailed it
In the film you mean?
You can certainly see the resemblance. I think he looks quite a lot like his legendary father. I grew up almost literally worshipping his Dad. And haven’t stopped.
Without any doubt Neil Armstrong was the perfect choice …his personality, his mental health, his humility. Perfect.
This movie was awesome! Neil Armstrong was an amazing man! And so are all the others that went into space! And those that lost their lives in the mishaps.
Agreed

@@Mark-zd5dl silence, conspiracy theorists
Really loved the movie, especially the score.
What a great interview.
@1:46 why the hell didn't anyone fix the aspect ratio of this photo???
Wish the movie showed some of Neil’s goofiness. Instead they focused on making him a grim robot. Wish they let a little bit of levity show every once in awhile. Otherwise the space stuff was flipping amazing.
EliasDanger well there was a moment he tried to put Mark in the freezer (or was it Rick?) Usual household jinks. But it could’ve been fun to see him on the piano or playing The ukulele in quarantine
I agree !!!
Yeah the whole sequence of scenes of the Gemini launch was incredible
They did show it. Maybe you missed it.
Space scenes was technicaly not accurate. It was made hollywoodish. Those overdone vibrations from the rocket motors, it's only in the atmosphere. Spacecraft cockpits had flood lights and instrument lights, in the movie there was almost darkness. Flickering indication lamps that is nothing to do with the situation.... and so on.
Man looks great for being around 60.
Fantastic interview.
I loved this movie. Commander Armstrong was and is a personal hero of mine since childhood. I really would like more real life space movies like this
50 years ago...1969... What a time with amazing first "Tech" events ... first internet link, first flight Boeing 747, first flight Concorde, Apollo 11 ...
I liked the film. Neil was an amazing man. The opening scene of the film is awesome.
Haunting beautiful ambitious musical score esp. the landing sequence. Arguably our best moment of our species with such a slim margin between success and failure. Neil Armstrong was the right man for the job and he did not fail...
I don't know what has come over me I am all tears and sobs watching this
I really hope that he left something behind as a tribute to Karen. What could have made the first moon landing more meaningful ‘for all mankind’ than a father honoring the cherished memory of his beloved little girl, that passed away from brain tumor.
That would have been so beautiful.
Probably did, might have even be found again one day, obviously to be left right where it was of course, but just to look around, see if its indeed there, future moon mission digs on old sites,
man,
I haven't been that emotionally gripped by a scene about a father and his beloved daughter
since I N T E R S T E L L A R, and this actually happened,
and her just a sweet small toddler still, AUUUGHGH,
IT WAS UNBEARABLE, I CAN'T STAND IT,
IM GETTING FEELS JUST THINKING AND WRITING ABOUT IT NOW
_honnnk_
Sorry
I was thinking that could have been another possibility too.Besides a family photo.
Glad to know he approves of the movie. You always wonder what liberties were taken, especially with those more intimate family scenes.
This interview is the single biggest reason I'm considering this movie.
Why ask the son? People don't ask me about my Dad's work experience?
Imagine that. A feature film dramatizing key events from a person's life isn't 100% accurate. Who knew? And here I thought biopics were exactly how things happened. What a fool, me.
I hear you, but this movie entirely changed the mans persona to that of a morose, sullen and bitter man.
He wasnt.
Yes. We went to the moon , look at people falling in the moon and look at the dust , it's impossible to recreate in earth's gravity
@@slyack what?
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.
I would like to add subtitles in my native language, any chance you could allow that?
Mark...your dad was the first man on the Moon. How profoundly amazing. How awesome beyond words. How great. Throughout the years, decades, centuries, millennia and beyond that will be forever the truth. What a great historical achievement. His name and legacy are forever engraved in the eternal monument of time.

They should do a movie called "The Second Man". Buzz had a completely different life. After overcoming depression and alcohol he has become very popular. I hope he hangs in with us for a while. In seven days from now, it will be the fiftieth anniversary of the Apollo 11 Lunar landing. I'm going to watch NASA tv and try to time the exact moment Neil walked down the LM's ladder and spoke his magic words. I have to double-check by visiting NASA.gov.
That great picture at 1:45 shows four guys and three of them walked on the Moon, amazing. And I’m not surprised at all one of them is Pete Conrad and Neil Armstrong.
Two great men of the 20th century are Armstrong and Gagarin.
Gagarin! Think Ilyusin was first man in space - Gagarin was the man chosen for publicity!
Martin Foot ...Gagarin’s smile was so wonderful because he was the first man in space.
Martin Foot Come on without cospiralogy. Gagarin and Armstrong are two great people ... one was first in space, the other one was first on the moon!
Hollywood *needs* to Make a film about Gagarin. I'm *not* a Communist apologist. But it's still a great story.
Lady Gagarin?
thank you ,Mark
There seems to be quite a lot of Russian spambots in here!
Man, he looks just like his dad, same eyes, nose and smile, it’s amazing 😆
Nice interview. Chazelle is a great director, may be the successor of Tarantino. The bracelet scene, with that beautiful music, simply destroyed me.
Claire Foy ❤️
She was great in the Crown, but can't do an American accent at all.
Chicagocubbiegirl disagree , she was amazing in the film
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.
check out the mini film in the final ten minutes. You'll see a silent exchange that speaks volumes. VOLUMES.
The cat is definitely out of the bag at this point.
Wouldn’t that be something if we went back and they find his daughters doll or something. We owe it to Neil to go back!
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.
We all take for granted the bravery of the astronauts who flew to the moon. They went for the benefit of us all. Lots of knowledge was gained from those missions.
Neil Armstrong is a God damn American hero. This movie did not do him justice.
JimboLogic same with the movie the Right Stuff. Grissom was badly portrayed as a loser. He was a fantastic aviator and engineer. The movie made Yeager a hero instead. That’s was not fair for Grissom at all.
Eric Girardet They are all incredible men. The best America had. To take on a challenge that to this day is the most dangerous and courageous human endeavor of all time.
NOT AN AMERICAN HERO!!! HE'S A HERO OF HUMANITY!!! HERO OF EARTH!!! HE, ALDRIN AND COLLINS AND ALL THE OTHER APOLLO CREW MEMBERS ARE EARTHS HEROES!
You fucking idiot. It did, with respect to the story, as much as an outside perspective could. You generic, "patriotic" flag-complaining fools with no actual human significance of reaching the moon or even the true patriotism of achieving that - that would have required actually working towards it. The public and many politicians didnt give a rats ass until the second they touched the moon. That's what it took.
Amen!!!
It seems being a clown is more valued than being a serious and focused, courteous person.
@2:50 Did Bob not get the staff memo about the TV interview?
The movie was good, but not great. Gosling portrayed Neil as practically autistic. He WASN'T hurnt on the face when the LEM simulator crashed. And from what I've seen in interviews, his wife was denied access to the NASA facility when the Gemini spacecraft was in trouble--the scene in hallway never happened. The more of a space geek you are, the more you see the flaws in the movie
Correct you are, theres a photo at his desk after the "flying bed" LEM trainer accident; not a scratch on his face.
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.
What a failure of directorship where failure could never be a option with Neil Armstrong's character.
Yeah, I forgot about that....they made the interior of the LEM look dirtier than a 40 year-old submarine.
It was really good. What you call flaws, I call creative license. Its a movie, not a documentary. Most of what you list as flaws I really don't care about.
@@kbanghart Ahh! The wonders of Hollywood.
There's nothing wrong with your view/opinion either.
I will or maybe not, be surprised if he walks
away with the Oscar.
The percentage of people that did not like the movie is based on the inaccuracies of the movie I believe.
No flag planting, showing Armstrong one demensional, a odd tilt on Buzz Aldrin's character and other issues.
Personally I knew the Flag planting would not be shown.
I was dissaponted, and still saw the movie opening weekend.
All in all as they say truth is stranger then fiction.
The segment of him walking on the moon was really great effects.
The Gemini segment was excellent also.
If you saw Space Cowboys, with Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones, Donald Sutherland that one could have been a classic Nasa movie involving older Astronauts from the Mercury Days.
It was better then average and enjoyable.
Could have been a bit better,
Again, I critique to much on any Nasa Hollywood Flick.
yeah.... the dirty switches did pull me out a little. It's the actual LEM and CM from the Apollo 13 movie so maybe that's were the dirt came from..lol. All in all, it was a great movie that came close to capturing the real moments.
For my money it’s between Neil Armstrong and Winston Churchill for greatest man of the 20 th century
Well, Churchill has been called "The Man of the Century" since the year he died. I have always agreed with that. 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.
@@jeffreylombardo782 Albert Einstein is the greatest. And Gandhi. And Martin Luther King, jr.
What the fuck Churchill? Yuri Gagarin!
@@jeffreylombardo782 I agree with you, indeed Churchill with his decision to make a stand was heroic and defining.
The 2nd group of Astronauts had the "Right Stuff" in experience of flight and education in engineering and related degrees.
Actually at times I still think of Chuck Yeager in topics like this a "gifted" aviator all looked up to.
Fuck Churchill.. the amount of crimes he committed in British India back then is repulsive.. You can’t be serious about him
Dean was just outside of town and I went and listened to him speak almost 4 years ago near the 50th anniversary. Both are gone.
I had the honor of shaking Neil Armstrong's hand during the 1970 Bob Hope Christmas tour...
From what I've been reading (other than the movie critics who are paid talk bullshit about films in a positive or negative light) this movie has so many factual errors it might as well be a science fiction film!
ua-cam.com/video/_wfXICKd_TY/v-deo.html
Amazing what happened at that time, but the movie was awful.. Watch apollo 13 if you want a good space movie
Don't agree with that at all, for me apollo 13 is one of my favorites... But everybody got a different opinion, thank god lol. But i do agree on First man being bad, dont know about the inaccurate part tbh...
Apollo 13 is phenomenal, you should also check out The Right Stuff, if you haven't already read the book (which is even better)
On a lighter note, Space Cowboys is also a great space movie.
@@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.
I never had the chance to meet him wish I could have. A very private man from what I've read. Because he never wanted to talk about it people started the idea that we never went to the moon.
cool, should be way longer interview
It's pretty accurate.........................they were both filmed in a studio.
thats fucking hilarious........i burst out laughing ....thanks
Nice one dude
Stanley Kubrick filmed the real moon landing , because he was a perfectionist he filmed the models and actors on the moon.
No, Ryan Gosling was in a faked moon landing movie, not Neil Armstrong! lol
A movie interview about a movie about a movie.
Right on. Exactly like that.
@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.
In Korea, many people say Apollo 11 is fake. But I don’t think is fake because today I saw the movie about Apollo 11 it was very amazing!!
I don’t know why Korean people think it is fake😔😟
He is IDENTICAL to his dad
FAKÉ
A fairy tale for adults.
Nvidia proved the moon photos were real. If you have a basic understanding of physics it's not hard to get to the moon!
Do you understand what was going on in history at the time? It was just a race to get to the moon. We went back multiple times and NASA lost funding. There was no reason to go back. NASA has now confirmed we are going back to the Moon. Can't wait to see the look on your face when they take pictures of the lunar module remains which will still be sitting there. Joke will be on you in the mid 2020s
As I said you don't understand anything about physics.
So, the moon landings are a fairy tale but god or the flat earth is not? Right...
Hey at least there is evidence for God. Do you know how the process of Evolution says life came into existence? According to Evolution all life on this planet originally came from rocks. How did the universe form? Since it's impossible to create something from nothing how did we get here? And furthermore if we just evolved then why are there laws of physics and who created the laws of science?
He’s as urbane as his father too!! Quite nice to see!
"Urbane" Yeah. That's it.

@@@josephhaas7413 Have a look at Buzzy (mugging away) behind Trump at the NASA White House presser. Buzzy knows what more and more of us are beginning know.
Poor bastard.
I feel sorry for him.
Check out Trump's dyspeptic demeanor as he delivers that speech.
Trump knows too.
I was lucky to meet Neil for only a few minutes, great smile and kind. To me this movie made him seem cold, maybe for soap opera affect... The clips of him with troops in Vietnam right after he returned from the moon seem closer to the guy I saw.
Terrible movie. 5% space and 95% soap opera
go watch gravity then
pure fake drama
Great to see he inherited Neil's love of flight as well as his looks! The movie was great from what I remember and had all the right tension from the Space Race.
He seems like the nicest guy
This movie should’ve been a Best Picture nominee and won. I’ll never understand why it wasn’t.
The x 15 they showed isn't the one he flew, the one he flew crashed .
Aww you included a spoiler! You should have had a warning at the beginning.
The USAF museum in Dayton is the Holy Grail for aviation nerds in my option. What an amazing place!
Neil Humble Man
He looks just like his dad.. what a cool dad and a cool movie.👍
he was a iconic human being ! hands down!
1. I think he did not leave anything but just went to be alone and get his bearings and enjoy it alone. But its ok and sweet if he did and it shall never be disturbed. Not neccesary for the movie to do it, rather almost intruding..
2. I feel they should make another 2 about about Edwin 'Buzz Aldrin and that other guy. Please if not for cash than for prosperity, and all the same equipment is still warm. They were the first three..for respect for them and those to come. Make them please.
The giantest step since life walked on land.. deserves to be remembered.
Thank you so much people!
Great movie God bless you Neil.
Damn I just watched the trailer and they used that stupid shaky camera affect. Sorry but my head doesn’t bobble around when standing talking to someone. That is complete crap. I won’t watch it now.
She used the word “spacecrafts” frustrating.
Top notch I loved this and any space moon landing oriented.
Awesome movie. But they should of put one scene in at the beginning, where he build's a wind tunnel in his basement. In my opinion that would have set the mood of the movie to what was too come.
