Good point. I remember thinking when I saw it that they gave the lunar landing short shrift. Thinking about it. however, you realize the movie was about Armstrong himself, how he got there and not so much about any one event.
I wish they had done a little more on his post-Apollo 11 career, though, which was equally phenomenal, in my opinion.
Exactly, ‘First Man’ was a highly focused film, it is not ‘The Right Stuff’ and does not try to be. It took someone with the unique personality of Armstrong to do what he did.
