"First Man". OMG what a film [View all]

Ryan Gosling so beautifully underplayed the part of Neil Armstrong. The intensity of his eyes, while being utterly, coldly, calm. I wonder if Armstrong was really like that.

The writing, too, was fantastic. Very understated, tense, and full of realistic NASA jargon. This was a really believable look at what astronauts and NASA really is like.

Unlike that stupid GRAVITY.
