Ryan Gosling Talks ‘Humble’ Portrayal of ‘First Man’ Neil Armstrong at Venice Film Festival – Watch New Trailer! | 2018 Venice Film Festival, Claire Foy, Damien Chazelle, jason clark, Josh Singer, Olivia Hamilton, Ryan Gosling, Trailer : Ju

He looks handsome

Review of the movie by THR:

Quote:

Gosling downplays his natural charisma here to portray a man simply intent on doing a job, approaching it with the utmost seriousness and without ego. Armstrong shows zero willingness to consider what he’s doing in any self-aggrandizing historical context, his taciturn demeanor proving frustrating to the press, who want uplifting soundbites. That makes the characterization almost antithetical to the standard Hollywood conception of a historically significant figure of this type.

Instead, Gosling pulls you in on an intimate level, whether Armstrong is tackling life-or-death situations mid-mission or simply staring at the moon from his backyard, as if the distant image somehow holds the secret to a successful landing. It’s a subdued, almost self-effacing performance that nonetheless provides the drama with a commanding center.
