@@benjaminfinlay829 the shot at 2:42 for example, in the film that is the real footage with additional smoke/pyro effects and scene extension digitally added. But the core of the shot in the film is the actual cleaned up original film. It's an absolutely stunning shot.
What surprised me in First Man was how noisy the vehicles were. From the X-15 onward, with moans, creaks,rattles and bangs, the vehicles sounded like they were about to fall apart.
The Apollo astronauts often commented about how gentle the Saturn V was to ride. Compared to the converted ICBMs they'd ridden in the Mercury and Gemini programs, it was a Rolls Royce.
@@Surya_Virya 1. The Apollo 1 disaster was a fire in the command capsule during a test a month before launch. It had nothing to do with the rocket that wasn't even fueled. 2. Apollo 1 wasn't going to be launched with a Saturn V. It was a Saturn 1B. 3. The Saturn 1B rocket that was intended to be used during Apollo 1 was eventually repurposed for Apollo 5 and launched a year later. During which it performed without any significant issues.
I was on the beach watching the actual Apollo 11 launch. What I remember was a very blue sky and bright sunlight. A woman standing a few feet in front of me said "God bless America". To think we did it with 1960's technology is incredible.
It should also have won the awards for Best Original Score and Best Leading Actor. Rami Malek deserved the win but Ryan Gosling at least deserved a nomination.
I promise you are not a prisoner of gravity anymore than the planet itself is. You're not trapped on Earth, you're part of Earth- and it's a space vessel we are travelling through the universe at unfathomable speed- it is relativity through gravity that keep us all together.
Although I wasn't born when the original manned mission to the moon took place, this scene brings me to tears when the rocket breaks through the exhaust cloud and I guess for the spectators on that day it had that same effect for many x100.
Beautifully accurate. The staging was perfect! All the details. I just wish everything wasn’t so dark in this movie. It was more of a sunny day for the actual launch. Either way, this puts the Apollo 13 launch to shame. I know that it’s early CGI, and was impressive (and still is), but they didn’t even paint the rocket right!
He'd probably say, "They got the weather wrong on launch day." Judging by those ominous looking clouds on the film version at 3:53, they'd probably have scrubbed the launch. But yea still, amazing work.
Only other soundtracks that gave me the feels on par with this scene is when Superman destroys the World Engine in Man of Steel and when Elias is still alive and trying to make it to the retreating troops on the choppers in Platoon and I guess also the final attack scene in We Were Soldiers. Honorable mention The Thin Red Line when Jim Caviezel leads the enemy away. There's honestly too many amazing climactic scenes with excellent scores to hit home in the moment in too many movies to count but those I mentioned are some of the top right up there with this one in my books!
Ouf!!!! I was holding my breath the whole time! I know they make it but showing Armstrong's point of view and emotions next to the actual images makes you wonder what goes through a man's head while going on these kind of missions. ❤
The interstage separating between first S-I stage and the second S-IIA stage shots were not from Apollo 11, the documentary, TV movie (the one with Matt Frewer playing Gene Krantz), nor the actual launch. Only Apollo 4, the first all-up test of the Saturn V booster assembly had cameras aboard that shot the separations and were dropped to fall with parachutes into the ocean for retrieval. Weight was an absolute necessity for manned launches, and so the stage separations seen here are all from Apollo 4.
The launches in this movie were just so intense and from what I have read (and seen here) pretty darn accurate. The Gemini launch was something else. That thing sounded like it was literally flying into hell. In the Apollo launch footage probably my favorite shot, both the real one and the movie) is when they say ‘we have a liftoff’ and the rocket appears out of the smoke. I can’t even imagine what this must have been like to see live.
Well, it is possible to see a Starship launch now. Starship is even bigger than Saturn-V was, so I guess that counts. It burns methane instead of a kerosene though, so far less smoke. The second stage burns methane instead of hydrogen, so stage separation don't look as cool.
Amazing...simply amazing. Human hands hammered together all those bits and pieces and sent people to the moon!!! THE MOON!! To some people it is still unbelievable. We are going to go back...to the moon and beyond.
Does anyone notice that he grabs the abort lever shortly before liftoff. This is because the abort mode is not computer indicated. For example if there is a collision with the tower there is no computer abort.
One thing that is clear, by 2:43, the movie shows how that huge explosion of powerful ignition looks like it were a nuclear detonation, that then just lights up the surrounding areas as if it were a second sun. And I have been told by several that it does light up a night sky as if it were full daylight. Clearly is not the case in real life footage, however, the movie makes it so that you feel that it was like the will of all one people going at the extreme limits and exploding upwards in a pillar of flame, carrying the hopes of possibly all mankind (or humanity).
SLS did that on Artemis 1 two years ago. Probably the first time a rocket has been bright enough launching from Kennedy to have the same effect since the Saturn V. Blinding light. That's why it always looks like night in the close up shots because they have to turn the exposure way down to even see the flames.
Maybe there was a administrative error when writing the script, that they launched at 9:30 PM when in fact it was 9:30 AM and it was missed during production so they just went with it
Weren't the windows blocked at liftoff due to the escape tower still being attached? I thought they had no view outside the capsule until after it was jettisoned.
This movie makes a good effort, good special effects and great music. However there’s lots of things that don’t add up, like they climb into the command module and they immediately shut them in, no goodbyes or good luck or anything, then immediately they say T-Minus 2 minutes ( I bet the ground crew had to run away pretty fast). Also Neil is portrayed as being angry all the time, whats the deal with that?
The time lapse is for cinematic purposes, obviously. And while they oversold it a bit (again, for dramatic effect, I'm sure), Armstrong was a notoriously "frosty" individual, even amongst a group that was itself rather cold and mission-focused. All business all the time (at least publicly, and it seems to have been generally true privately, as well). As amazing as the kinetic scenes are, I thought the exploration of his "warrior ethos" psyche (and the cost of it to his family) was even more impressive. Men of that generation, type, and origin didn't sit around for ten minutes back-slapping and crying, they strapped in and got on with it.
The saturn v coming out of the dark clouds represents human kind leaving the dark ages behind and is also kind of metaphor for all the sacrifices that were made to get humans to the moon
An internet search like 'when was the first colour film made', or 'when was the first colour movie made' would help enormously. It's an interesting thing to learn, especially about how many different ways it was done. Agfacolor, Dufaycolour, Technicolor, etc. My best wishes.
They call ignition sequence start at 8/9, so they technically begin startup at that time, but you’re right they don’t really fire up until five or six seconds. They definitely use multiple shots to make the launch last longer, but they were all done with beautiful accuracy! Hell, all the old Saturn videos were usually played in slow mo anyway
Fuel flow and the pumps pumping it begin at minus eight seconds, and the flames start later, and the 'zero' is really when full power has begun and 'lift-off' has occurred. The bit that amazed me about the Apollo 11 documentary was that nearly 100 tons of fuel had been burned before that rocket had travelled it's own length.
I find it laughable that there are people who believe that the moon landing was faked.... but watching the movie, and seeing the side by side (not including the parts that were taken from historical footage) you can CLEARLY SEE a difference in what was CGI. Shouts out to the Apollo 11 crew!!! 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
If you pause at 3:08 it is briefly visible, however it does seem most of the shots where it was clearly visible irl are intentionally not focused on that at all for some reason, like at 3:04, there is a closeup of the USA on the real thing, but the movie just shows a wet screen with the engine exhaust
@@technoquetz126The wet screen was from one of the many other cameras shooting the lift-off. The scenes do not match, as the movie used a different original camera's film as a source, one that had water on the panel protecting the camera. It's like the style decision to have ice and water droplets on every window in every aircraft or spacecraft in this film, even though the actual windows were all carefully designed to not freeze or mist up, for the obvious reason that people might want to see where they were going. The director's decisions meant that obscurity was the norm in 'First Man', usually through vibration, though this was rarely noticed to happen on Saturn Vs, or on the X-15 or Gemini craft, both were remarkably stable machines compared to some that have been flown. The boosters used to get the Gemini craft into orbit were adapted ICBMs, and had a pretty rough ride, with more G's, to boot.
