positive · AI labelView post →Movie Frame Study with Elliott and Le Piaf :) ref frame is from First Man (2018)
neutral · AI labelView post →"If you want to get an almost first-person sense of what it felt like to ride a rocket, First Man is the movie to see. It makes it seem more wild and scary than grand, like being in a runaway truck as it smashes through a guardrail and tumbles down a mountain." www.rogerebert.com/reviews/firs...
neutral · AI labelView post →Tell me the biggest gap between movie score quality and movie quality. I'll go first: First Man. This score rips and I listen to it at least once a week while working.
positive · AI labelView post →My favorite film genres: 1. depressed ppl in space (Interstellar, Gravity, First Man) 2. animated + grief + love (Coco, Flow) 3. BW friend groups (Set It Off, Waiting To Exhale) 4. professional yearners (In The Mood For Love, Past Lives) 5. culture + community (Dolemite Is My Name, Mountains)
neutral · AI labelView post →Really late to say so, and not exactly expecting Gosling to see this (but hey if you do, hi hi love your acting, First Man is my fave astronaut movie ever, long may you run) but... Bladerunner 2049 slayed - don't believe the zillionaire defending his interests in a copyright infringement lawsuit.
positive · AI labelView post →The people currently in charge of NASA and the US government threw a tantrum about the movie First Man framing landing on the moon as an achievement for all of humanity and not just America. Similarly they were unhappy Ryan Gosling is Canadian. So it's hard to be inspired by the launch yesterday.
neutral · AI labelView post →Unrelated, but I was very disappointed in the movie First Man. Not because it wasn’t an enjoyable and well-done movie, but because I wanted to hear a classically-trained British actor try to do a successful pronunciation of “Wapakoneta.”
negative · AI labelView post →2026 watch #64: First Man. Revisited Ryan Gosling's OTHER space movie, which I find tragically underrated. The film does a phenomenal job of capturing *just how insane* it was that we sent men to the moon in tin cans powered by math and showing the undiagnosed mental illness it required to go.
positive · AI labelView post →I remember not enjoying Blade Runner 2049 in the theater but I just rewatched it on my phone and was very moved (my favorite Ryan Gosling movie is still First Man, love that movie). I can’t remember why I didn’t vibe with the movie initially? I guess it was too long?
positive · AI labelView post →Hubs: “what are you watching?” Me: “First Man” Hubs: “oh is that your movie club?” Me: “No it’s HATM” Hubs: “but it’s a club.” Me: “no secret password to get into the treehouse man. It’s a community.” #HATM
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m the only person I know who can’t stand AW’s books but I went to see Project Hail Mary bc Ryan Gosling was in it and I loved him in First Man. It wasn’t the numinous experience for me that I’ve seen a lot of people describe but it was a fun SF movie with likable characters and I’d watch it again.
positive · AI labelView post →Free movie marathon idea: First Man (2018) The Second Man (1959) The Third Man (1949) The 4th Man (1983) The 5th Man (2022) The 6th Man (1997)
neutral · AI labelView post →I mentioned this before, but Ryan Gosling has had a string of really great movies that are underappreciated. BLADE RUNNER 2049, THE NICE GUYS, FIRST MAN, and the most egregiously overlooked movie of the last 10 years - THE FALL GUY.
positive · AI labelView post →"First Man" sounds like the title of a movie where an astronaut walks on the moon and then goes back to earth and marries Richard Nixon. Alt-history period piece that carries all the way to 1984 and the election of Robert Redford.
neutral · AI labelView post →Last night The Fiend Without a Face and First Man Into Space (also a horror movie though the title doesn't give that impression) were on TCM. I had to look up Marshall Thompson (who is in both of them) to stop calling him The Other Van Johnson. #TCMParty

neutral · AI labelView post →I remember a scene from the movie First Man. Deke Slayton drew a simple line from Earth to Moon while pitching the Apollo program. As a solo developer living in Hong Kong, creating a game that covers its costs feels just like that. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
neutral · AI labelView post →First Man is definitely a movie you gotta see in theaters... Excellent but the DVD doesn't really do it justice. Hopefully I'll get to see this on the big screen again someday.

neutral · AI labelView post →Final thoughts: First Man superbly depicts the life of astronaut Neil Armstrong as he walked on the Moon. Expertly cast, shot, cut, set, designed, and scored, the film does justice to both the scholarly biography from which it came and the life of a true American and world hero. #hatm
positive · AI labelView post →Reminder that this film suffered from an utterly absurd controversy, with certain politicians lambasting it for not showing Armstrong and Aldrin planting the flag specifically (variety.com/2018/film/ne...). #FirstMan #HATM
neutral · AI labelView post →And while we're waiting for the movie to start, make sure to subscribe to the Historians At The Movies Podcast, available on Apple Podcasts. This week we talked about FIRST MAN with its author Jim Hansen and Kevin Rusnak. You'll want to listen in tomorrow #HATM 5/ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh, absolutely, but it's still a nice surprise when a movie doesn't sand the edges off someone like that. It's part of what makes First Man such a good spiritual sequel to The Right Stuff.
neutral · AI labelView post →Movie Reviews: First Man. Pretty good, really captured the sacrifices made by NASA and the visceral feel of being in a spacecraft Predator: Badlands. Actually really liked this. Thia and Dek are both kind of an aberrant of their kind, willing to learn and evolve. Dek is cute for a yautja 🐺
neutral · AI labelView post →If you dig the Artemis stuff, watch First Man. Ryan Gosling is Neil Armstrong and delivers one of his best performances. Very underrated movie. I think it’s great.
positive · AI labelView post →We’re watching First Man. A film that boldly begins by kicking the audience in the kidneys as hard as it can.
positive · AI labelView post →Caught up with First Man, a film dramatising the emotional and family life of Neil Armstrong during his space missions career. Good to be reminded of what I admired about Americans. Decent, determined, ambitious and inspiring. Trump and Rubio thought it insufficiently patriotic. Well worth a watch
positive · AI labelView post →Movie 2 out of 30: “First Man” I’ve had this movie for 3-4 years and it’s good that I’m finally seeing it. I’ll probably only watch the first hour of this then finish the rest tomorrow. I really like Ryan Gosling, so I hope this is good. #filmsky #moviesky #promosky
neutral · AI labelView post →I haven't done First Man, but I find guidance like that helpful - the film makes a choice to show it, and it matters (and might go beyond the Kennedy "Because it is hard!" ethos). If we ever do Song of the South, I will share my guide for that. #FirstMan #HATM
neutral · AI labelView post →Then again, Variety's critic finds the film "infinitely more entertaining - and more revealing of American society" than Damien Chazelle’s First Man, "Hollywood’s more overtly hagiographic look at Apollo 11", a film I found superior in all departments. So clearly it's me who is out of step.
positive · AI labelView post →hot take: the ideal Hal Jordan Green Lantern movie would just be The Right Stuff, First Man, or Top Gun, but with superpowers
neutral · AI labelView post →A film I love - has the same 'themes' as First Man (to quote Le Guin: 'The humanity of an astronaut is a liability, a weakness, irrelevant to his mission. An astronaut, he is not a being: he is an act. It is the act which counts') but is much weirder, funnier, and prettier
neutral · AI labelView post →DAY 24 - a film by your favorite director #30DayFilmChallenge #FilmSky based on letterboxd ratings, Damien Chazelle is my favorite. First Man (2018) is such a gripping movie accompanied by a perfect score. it also features maybe the best aspect ratio change in any movie i’ve seen
positive · AI labelView post →movie marathon of First Man, Better Man, and Superman
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching an old fifties B-Movie First Man Into Space; it's a bit meandering, but look who turned up for one scene! In my headcanon, it is the Master sneaking into this rocket base as part of one of his schemes... which would be a bit more interesting than the actual plot tbh.
neutral · AI labelView post →#letterboxd #review #movies #FirstMan with #RyanGosling as Neil Armstrong is a great movie. But it fails at many small details that are important for me. Read my full review: boxd.it/dXdS6D

neutral · AI labelView post →Today is the perfect time to recommend Damien Chazelles First Man A massively underrated and overlooked film
positive · AI labelView post →If you’re anxiously waiting for Project Hail Mary, don’t hesitate to take this ride. It’s phenomenal. First Man (2018) #FilmSky
neutral · AI labelView post →Some vintage sci-fi/horror for me this evening, watching FIRST MAN INTO SPACE (1959). Clearly influenced by The Quatermass Xperiment, but I wonder if this film in turn helped to shape later stories about UFO-related cattle mutilation and even the Chupacabras?
neutral · AI labelView post →Have you seen "First Man"? It's about the first moon landing - great film.
positive · AI labelView post →Houston, we have problem... no wait... wrong movie. Watching First Man with #HATM tonight, so space related puns may occur. Also, I highly rec the #HATM pod on First Man that was released last week (see thread for link). 🚀🌝
positive · AI labelView post →Movie years project Year 2018 (37/122) Now Rewatching 📽️ #5/14 First Man dir. Damien Chazelle
neutral · AI labelView post →FIRST MAN this all started with a space movie so i thought i’d finish it off with a space movie as well. story about neil armstrong and i guess it’s technically a good movie but it is so american and basic i’ve seen this same movie a million times so i was kinda bored
negative · AI labelView post →Next up: First Man (2018) have not seen this movie before but I LOVE Ryan Gosling, so, there's that. Interesting subject matter. #filmsky #moviesky 📽 youtube.com/watch?v=PSoR...
neutral · AI labelView post →FIRST MAN is a really good movie. More people should see it. Gosling gives a still but deep performance. The film is you-are-there: claustrophobic rattling spacecraft. The lunar surface sequence is magnificent.
positive · AI labelView post →After a recent scientific study reclassified the altitude at which Earth’s atmosphere ends, the title of “First Man In Space” now belongs to a man named Cave Johnson. When the movie Air Bud began generating buzz, the Academy Awards had to hastily implement a rule saying a dog couldn’t win an Oscar.
neutral · AI labelView post →Depends. Worst experience? Definitely First Man. Not at bad movie at all but dear God the camera would NOT sit still I almost walked out cause i felt ill. Movie I hated the most? Jar Jar Abrams' 2009 Star Trek
neutral · AI labelView post →A thing I’m unreasonably irritated about in the Project Hail Mary discourse is the total forgetting of the other Ryan Gosling goes to space movie, First Man. That’s such a great movie!
positive · AI labelView post →Keeping things in a spacey mood, I rewatched First Man last night. Interstellar gets all the love, and I enjoy it, but of the space movies made in the past 15 years, First Man is the better film. Gosling and Claire Foy are acting their asses off in the quietest, hardest ways possible.
positive · AI labelView post →In our latest episode, we talk about how lots of movies set in space are survival films (for obvious reasons). Where does Gravity rank among films like: The Martian Apollo 13 First Man Marooned What’s is your favorite “it is just really hard to survive out here” space movie? #FilmSky
neutral · AI labelView post →First Man also has the benefit of being a well made, affecting movie for grown-ups!
positive · AI labelView post →#100HorrorMoviesIn92Days Day 58 (64/100): First Man into Space (1959) Found this one pretty fascinating! Sci-fi with a hint of horror, reallly dug the way this one unfolded. Very interesting stuff for its time, I can't help but wonder if I've seen a modern film with a similar premise. boxd.it/1oug
