Plot
The film covers events and the lead up to the landing on the moon, such as the training the astronausts did, The tests before the launch, the launch day and the people that came to watch etc. They also cover their time and space and landing on the moon and them doing all the tests. Then the astronauts re-entered through the atmosphere and then some things like the tour around the USA afterwards. Does all of this without major narration and archived videos from the time.
Character stand out
Neil Armstrong
He was the first one to be put on the moon, and during all the tests he had a higher heart rate than the other astronauts. There weren’t traditional charachters like a story, but he is the most well known astronaut that went to the moon.
Effectiveness as a documentary , director intention
It was quite informative, It didn’t show so much of the small trivial facts but I don’t think it was the directors intention to show trivial facts but make an entertaining suspenseful way to show us what happened. Don’t think the director intended it to show trivial small facts about the moon landing.
Discuss the directors intention
The directors intention was to show the moon landing in an informative but entertaining way. He also tried to make us feel as if we were there at the time.
