In the Shadow of the Moon (David Sington, 2007), First Man (Damien Chazelle, 2018).
First Man appears to depict the flash burn during launch rehersal that killed the three astronauts, Virgil Grissom, Ed White and Roger B. Chaffee, on January 27, 1967. Footage of the aftermath is shown in the documentary In the Shadow of the Moon.

Another look at First Man compared to historical footage, here is Neil Armstrong ejecting from the lunar module during testing. The documentary recounts the incident and Armstrong’s nonchalance at nearly dying.

I will be looking at Damien Chazelle’s Neil Armstrong biopic First Man this week, specifically in relation to movies. That is, documentaries with actual footage or films depicting real space missions.
Above we have a still from the documentary In the Shadow of the Moon of the external camera as the Apollo 11 lander was descending onto the Moon, compared to the version in First Man.

Pete Conrad: Neil, I was sorry to hear about your daughter.
Neil Armstrong: I’m sorry, is there a question?
Pete Conrad: What I… What I mean is… Do you think it’ll have an effect?
Neil Armstrong: I think it would be unreasonable to assume that it wouldn’t have some effect.

Terence Fletcher, an instructor equally known for his teaching talents as for his terrifying methods, leads the top jazz ensemble in the school. Fletcher discovers Andrew and transfers the aspiring drummer into his band, forever changing the young man’s life.
Andrew’s passion to achieve perfection quickly spirals into obsession, as his ruthless teacher continues to push him to the brink of both his ability and his sanity.

What I’m looking forward to in 2017.
Jackie.
I love a lot of actresses, but to me Natalie Portman is THE ONE. She is the love of my filmic life and I am definitely more than a little bit on love with her. She’s been a bit quiet as of recent years, but she’s getting major awards buzz for her performance as Jackie Kennedy, and I’m itching to check it out. It’s just a shame no one I know will want to see an art house film about an old POTUS. SAD FACE. But for Natalie, I will find a way.
La La Land.
There are a few awardsy films I actually really want to see this year (Moonlight, Manchester by the Sea) but none more so than La La Land, which I get to see this weekend – YAYY. I love Ryan Gosling and Damien Chazelle and if his follow up film is even half as good as Whiplash then I am going to love it.
Black Panther.
I’ve been falling ever so slightly out of love with Marvel films recently (maybe its overkill) but I’m hoping 2017 is the year that I get back on board. Guardians of the Galaxy has been my favourite so far so I’m looking forward to the sequel, my love/mild obsession with Taika Waititi has got me looking forward to the latest Thor outing (seriously, check out Hunt for the Wilderpeople, it will BLOW YOUR MIND) but the main one I’m itching to see is Black Panther.
Hollywood has been itching for a huge, blockbusting POC-lead movie for far too long so I hope it smashes records for that reason, but I’m also so excited because it’s got the most incredible cast of any upcoming film I can think of.
I’ve waxed lyrical about this cast on here already, but seriously, HOW incredible is this?
Lupita, Angela and Danai are three of my favourite ladies, and if you aren’t yet familiar with Daniel Kaluuya then prepare for him to explode this year because he is a huge talent. This looks great.
Prevenge.
A horror comedy about pregnancy from Alice Lowe, one of the geniuses behind the hugely underrated sightseer? Count me right in.
