Departure to the Moon is a historical film by Damien Chazelle , which celebrated its world premiere on August 29, 2018 as part of the Venice Film Festival . The film was released in US cinemas on October 12, 2018 and in German cinemas on November 8, 2018. In the biography , Ryan Gosling can be seen in the role of astronaut Neil Armstrong , who was the commander of Apollo 11 and who was the first person to step on the moon on July 21, 1969 . The film primarily shows in detail the long lead time of the moon mission and with it the failures and hardships that preceded mankind's most famous step.

action

During a flight in an X-15 , test pilot Neil Armstrong broke the boundary between the atmosphere and space in 1961. He almost fails to re-enter as his plane ricochets off the earth's atmosphere . Nevertheless, his experience eventually enabled him to land safely in the Mojave Desert . Armstrong and his wife, Janet, have two children, but his daughter Karen dies of a brain tumor before her third birthday. As a civilian, he is applying for the Gemini project because NASA is looking for pilots with a degree in aerospace engineering . He is accepted and moves with his family to a residential area near Houston , where they live with other astronaut families , such as Edward Higgins White with his wife Pat and children.

For years, NASA had to watch the Soviets get ahead of it at every technical milestone in space travel. In 1964, the participants in the program prepared for the missions using a simulator. A year later, NASA started the Gemini-5 project , in which Armstrong was initially named as a member of the replacement team. For his part, he later commands the Gemini-8 space flight , during which the capsule is to dock with an Agena rocket. During his time as a test pilot, Armstrong had to witness a number of fatalities, but fatal accidents also occur again and again in the space program. This does not leave the astronaut indifferent. Janet, however, just want to live a normal life and is increasingly concerned about Neil, particularly as it relates to the Apollo mission begins to prepare, but three in this time of Armstrong's colleagues at the plugs-out test of Apollo 1 die, including Edward White.

After a test of the lunar module that ended almost fatally for him , Armstrong and his colleagues Mike Collins and Buzz Aldrin set out on their grand mission in 1969. Forced to do so by his wife, he explains to his two sons beforehand that he may not come back. In doing so, he uses the same clichés as used by media representatives. After a four-day journey, Aldrin and Armstrong manage to land the Lunar Excursion Module Eagle safely on the lunar surface. Armstrong sets foot on the regolith and is the first person to leave a shoe print on the moon. Aldrin follows him and jumps around, fascinated by the low pull. The whole world is watching them right now.

After Armstrong has thrown a bracelet that his daughter had brought with him into a lunar crater in memory of her untimely death, they make their way back to Earth, where they initially have to spend three weeks in quarantine . There there is finally a wordless, but emotional reunion between Armstrong and his wife Janet. The Apollo 11 crew has taken an important step in the space race that John F. Kennedy predicted in a speech a few years earlier when he announced that humans would land on the moon as part of the US space program by the end of the decade become.

Literary template and staff

Neil Armstrong was still a test pilot with an X-15 in 1960

"In a way, it's the real story of the birth of a real superhero."

- Damien Chazelle

The film is based on the authorized biography First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong by James R. Hansen from 2005. In a German translation, the biography was titled First Man - Neil Armstrong: The first man on the moon im Heyne Verlag published. In it, Hansen granted exclusive access to private documents and personal sources for the first time. From Armstrong's childhood to incredible fame from the Apollo 11 mission. He also describes Armstrong's involvement in the investigation of the Challenger catastrophe , and as famous the astronaut was, as taciturn and shy in public he is described by his biographer.

The historian had worked for NASA and later became a professor of history at Auburn University, Alabama. He has already published ten books on the history of aerospace and has received numerous awards.

Directed by Damien Chazelle , who for the first time did not write the script for his film himself. Hansen's original was first adapted by Nicole Perlman and later by Oscar winner Josh Singer for the film, which won an Oscar in 2016 for its work on Spotlight . The film is a comprehensive historical portrait of Neil Armstrong, casts an intimate look at him and uses a very different visual style than Chazelle's two earlier films Whiplash and the musical La La Land .

The director says of the film: "In a way, it's the real story of the birth of a real superhero." Armstrong is someone who started out as a normal person and was certainly not a well-known character. He wanted to make a film about someone who came about through failures and losses, and what made him tell this story, similar to Whiplash , was the idea of ​​finding out how much an individual person is willing to give to achieve a goal. “The moon landing is the perfect vehicle to ask these questions. It is one of the most famous human achievements. It's all very colorful: this great success story. ”In addition, Chazelle wanted to see how radical, crazy and controversial the whole mission was and what the psyche of a man must be that this mission will possibly cost his life. The director also said that he wanted the film to get people to put on Armstrong's moon boots and imagine everything that he experienced.

"I really wanted to meet the people who made this unimaginable journey," said Chazelle. The director starts the journey to the moon with original footage showing Armstrong singing a lullaby to his daughter. Before he goes on his space mission, we see Armstrong sitting at his table, next to his wife, as his son nervously asks about the chances that his father will return home after the trip. "We have real confidence in this mission," Armstrong told his child, as if he were at a press conference: "We all intend to come back." On July 21, 1969, Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon as the commander of Apollo 11 and had returned safely to earth. The astronaut died in August 2012 at the age of 82.

Cast and filming

Ryan Gosling took on the role of Neil Armstrong in the film . Gosling also starred in Chazelle's latest film, La La Land . Claire Foy took on the role of his wife, Janet. Lukas Haas and Corey Stoll can be seen in the roles of Armstrong's fellow missionaries Mike Collins and Buzz Aldrin . Pablo Schreiber plays Jim Lovell , commander of the Apollo 13 space flight, which had to be canceled due to an explosion on the way to the moon. Christopher Abbott took on the role of Dave Scott , who was involved in two Apollo missions. Jason Clarke plays astronaut Edward Higgins White , while Kyle Chandler plays NASA flight director Deke Slayton . The role of Elliot See was cast with Patrick Fugit . The Gemini program astronaut died in a plane crash before he could make his first space flight with Gemini 9. He was also presented to the public on September 17, 1962 as a member of the second astronaut group, including Neil Armstrong. Shea Whigham took on the role of Gus Grissom , who, like Ed White, was killed in a test of the Apollo 1 spacecraft. Cory Michael Smith plays Roger Chaffee , who also died in the Apollo 1 disaster. Brian d'Arcy James took on the role of test pilot Joseph Albert Walker .

Filming took place in Atlanta, Georgia and ended in February 2018. The cameraman was Oscar winner Linus Sandgren , with whom Chazelle made his last film La La Land . As with Chazelle's previous two films , the film was edited by Tom Cross , who has also already won an Oscar. Nathan Crowley and Kathy Lucas acted as production designers . Mary Zophres was responsible for the design of the costumes .

Anke Sterneborg from epd Film says of the result that in the very first pictures the viewer is shaken and shaken as if he were sitting in a spaceship that could give way at any moment under the pressure of the atmosphere: "Damien Chazelle transmits the experience of space flight, the deafening machine noise, the physical and psychological strain, the loneliness and the pressure straight to the cinema. ”The lunar sequences filmed with 65 mm IMAX cameras, but also the various test flight scenes developed a sublime, lyrical beauty, and the Spectators become astronauts themselves for a good two hours, according to Sterneborg.

Owen Gleiberman from Variety explains about the opening sequence, in which Armstrong, as a test pilot in 1961, steered an X-15 into the clouds until mission control asked him to exit, saying that it included everything the men experienced during the missions. Sandgren's camera work and Cross's hypnotic editing make the film so haunting in its authenticity that a space drama like Apollo 13 looks like a puppet show. David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter thinks that in this nerve-wracking opening sequence, Chazelle conjures up memories of great space exploration films such as The Right Stuff and Gravity in this nerve-wracking opening sequence with the infernal noise that turns your stomach and in which the machine looks like a tin can floating in the void up. Moments in which Chazelle takes advantage of the beauty of the sudden silence, such as the moving calm in the interlude when Armstrong penetrates the atmospheric barrier, would have a tremendous effect, according to Rooney.

Matthias Hopf from the Filmfeuilleton explains that in the finale, Chazelle conjures up the oppressive atmosphere of the rousing opening sequence once again with all his staging skills: “Every noise, every shock and every flash of light can be perceived at once before they become blurred in a stream of impressions. Shadows, outlines and only a few contours provide us with orientation on this flight to the moon, which finally, with one of the most breathtaking camera movements of the cinema year, claims the full size of the IMAX screen to tell of a step in which all of the previously pent-up steps are Discharge emotions. ”Owen Gleiberman thinks that the director himself stages the moon landing in an uncanny way and shows Armstrong, who is looking at his boot as he takes this first step, in an uncanny seclusion, which has a touch of the surreal.

The former astronaut Ulrich Walter noticed that the film was shot continuously in natural “ available light ”: “No carefully placed studio spotlights, no studio reflector as a brightener. Never, nowhere. The image contrasts therefore go to the limits of what is bearable. On the other hand, this natural high-contrast light conveys an impressive authenticity of the scenes; you always have the feeling that nothing has been played. "

Film music and sound design

The soundtrack was composed by Justin Hurwitz , who has won two Academy Awards and has worked in this role for Damien Chazelle's La La Land and Whiplash . Hurwitz had announced early on that this time it would be a different type of film music: "I'm moving away from jazz and old-fashioned orchestral sounds and experimenting with electronic music." In an interview with the Dallas Observer , Hurwitz said he was already in the film at the time Film project was involved because Chazelle considered this to be useful, as with La La Land . Hurwitz started his work in March 2017.

Ryan Gosling looked for a personal connection between himself and Armstrong in preparation for his role and found that before he became an astronaut, Armstrong was a talented musician and a huge fan of the theremin and even on cassette on board the Apollo 11 spacecraft Theremin- Took music with me. So Gosling began listening to the theremin album called Music Out of the Moon , which Armstrong and his wife loved. Gosling especially loved one piece on the album and played it to Damien Chazelle. This is included on the soundtrack. The film composer Justin Hurwitz had also learned to play theremin, which is why the instrument can also be heard in the film music.

In the 1950s, the theremin was particularly used for B science fiction . Chazelle and composer Justin Hurwitz decided that the bizarre instrument should be a part of the score, especially because the film was so marked by Armstrong's grief after the death of his two-year-old daughter: “There was something about the theremin that seemed to convey grief that stretched across the cosmos, ”Chazelle told Variety . “It also has the qualities of the human voice - a kind of lamentation - which I found very sad.” The soundtrack, which comprises a total of 37 pieces of music, was released on October 12, 2018 by Back Lot Music as a download and CD.

The two-time Oscar-nominated sound engineer Ai-Ling Lee and Mildred Iatrou Morgan , who was also nominated for an Oscar, acted as supervising sound designers, while Jon Taylor and Frank A. Montaño, both of whom were nominated several times for the award, were responsible for sound editing . Commenting on their work , Lee explained that Damien provided them with hand-drawn / written animatics during preproduction with sounds he had created with a researcher, Peter Dowd, that gave them an idea of ​​what the sound palette should look like. In particular, due to the claustrophobic situation on board the ship in space, this should be based on films such as Das Boot , in which you can hear the creaking and groaning when locked in a submarine. The emotional tone of the sound design should be based on films such as Saving Private Ryan and Son of Saul , in the space scenes but also on the films by Stanley Kubrick , in which the music, the sound design and the silence were mixed impressively. Some of Terrence Malick's films also had an impact on the sound design. Taylor explains there have been a number of real NASA communications records of real starts in 1965, 1967 and 1969 that made it into the movie. Around 30 to 40 percent of communication with mission control and the news and radio broadcasts that can be heard in the film are original recordings. Other sounds have been recorded recently during rocket launches. Montaño explained that many of the original tones were recorded in analogue and thus old-fashioned ways during their work.

The sound was mixed with the help of Dolby Atmos , which had the great advantage of full-range surround, which allowed many of the bombastic rocket noises and explosions to be placed around the audience. This also enabled some of Hurwitz's musical elements, such as the strings, to be brought into the film as if they were to be heard in the space capsule. In the film, when the camera approaches the astronauts, the sound has been designed so that every sound can be heard, from flicking a switch to the movement of their spacesuits and helmets. If Neil Armstrong is in his spacesuit, it is only his breathing and the air of the life support system in his helmet that the viewer hears and thus the only sounds that the astronaut himself hears.

The former astronaut Ulrich Walter notes that there is absolutely no music at the beginning and also later for long stretches of the film and only authentic sounds determine the first daring flight of Neil Armstrong as an X-15 pilot on his suborbital flight. In other scenes, too, like those shown by Armstrong with his family, there is no mediating music that would help one to classify these situations and bring them closer through emotions: “That is what irritates the viewer. Only here and there soft melancholy harp sounds, which were gently placed under the scenes. ”Walter further explains that it is due to the drama of the film that the noises in a space capsule are exaggerated compared to reality. Music can only find its way into the film in a very subtle and subtle way, until it culminates in a grandiose landing on the moon, says Walter.

filmmusicjournal.ch writes: “Hurwitz's thoroughly minimalist composition fits perfectly with Chazelle's film, for which the composer experimented a lot and even, it almost sounds like a cliché that Theremin (Armstrong's favorite instrument) used. Don't worry, it doesn't sound like a parody of the science fiction films of the 50s, Hurwitz (who plays the instrument here himself) adds the electronic instrument, which is not easy to master, audibly but with a sure instinct in his score.

His music is dominated by two motifs often played by the harp. Both can be heard one after the other in the sextant and squawk box , if you want to go in for a moment . The main theme is in full bloom in ¾-time in Docking Waltz and you don't have to think about where the inspiration for this scene for the filmmaker and composer could come from. "

reception

Age rating

In the US, the film was rated PG-13 by the MPAA . In Germany, the film was approved for ages 12 and up . The reason for the release states: “The film reconstructs the early days of manned space travel in a detailed and authentic way. By concentrating on Armstrong's perspective, the atmosphere is sometimes depressing, in particular the dramatic events on the way to the moon are emotionally intense and offer only a few moments of relief. Therefore, the film can put undue stress on children under the age of 12, while those aged 12 can deal with these issues based on their media experience. The clearly historical setting and Armstrong's comprehensible character drawing offer them enough opportunities to distance themselves as well as starting points to deal constructively with the story. So this age group can process the film without being overwhelmed. "

Reviews and grossing results

So far, the film has received approval from 87 percent of Rotten Tomatoes critics and achieved an average rating of 8.1 out of a possible 10 points.

Variety's Owen Gleiberman describes the film as a docudrama in the most authentic and exciting sense of the word. Damien Chazelle knows that the story of the NASA space program has been told before, so in The Right Stuff , and his bold strategy is to make the film in its realism and its physicality so that it becomes an exciting drama full of hellish danger becomes. In the film, Chazelle restricts the plot almost exclusively to the perspective of the astronauts themselves, Gleiberman continues, to what they see and hear during their missions and thus to what they think and feel. The film does without panorama shots. Ryan Gosling plays Neil Armstrong as a clever daredevil who has learned not to show what he is feeling, yet he still fills the role with just enough emotion to express the self-control it takes, says Gleiberman.

Thomas Schultze von Blickpunkt: Film describes the film as an impressionistic home movie about the greatest triumph of mankind, which thus fulfills the promise made by Chazelle to experience first-hand what it must have felt to be not just there, but right in the middle: “The first scene already gives a foretaste of what will happen. With the main character you are shaken up in a jet jet, with which new speed and altitude records are set. You don't feel like you're in a perfect high-tech device, but like in a creaking, groaning, screeching sheet metal coffin, the thin metal skin of which is the only dividing wall between life and death. ”Although at the end of the film you knew that Armstrong wasn't here simply fulfilling one of the great dreams of mankind, if this one on the surface of the earth's satellite is not simply the loneliest person on the moon, but one also knows that he was driven by his boundless sense of duty and his scientific curiosity and that he was almost a traumatic event Ten years earlier he had been encapsulated: "The tiny human in the spacesuit that encloses him like in a vacuum is the perfect description of how Neil Armstrong feels."

Daniel Kothenschulte writes in the Frankfurter Rundschau how Chazelle's earlier films deal with the Neil Armstrong biopic of iron discipline: “Unable to open up to one's own children, the taciturn astronaut draws all his courage from obedience and conscientiousness.” As in 2001: A space odyssey is largely an avant-garde film and, as a mirror of the Cold War, is at the same time political cinema, according to Kothenschulte.

Anke Sterneborg from epd Film thinks that this detailed outline of the events from 1961 to 1969 could be a pretty dry matter if Damien Chazelle did not have this special ability to draw the viewer into their extreme perception, into the crushing fears as well as the soaring fears Euphoria. Again Ryan Gosling takes on a role that feels like an alter ego of Chazelle, who as a director inspires and goes to work just as passionately and resolutely as his heroes, enriched with those sparks of madness that allow artists and pioneers alike to surpass themselves, so Sterneborg.

The film critic Antje Wessels notes that Chazelle's film makes no secret of the fact that Neil Armstrong's outraged ambition towards the moon mission did not arise out of a patriotic consciousness, but out of a deeply emotional reason. From a narrative point of view, the journey to the moon is a very family drama, which is also not afraid to question the mission on a further, ethical level, according to Wessels: “Is it actually allowed to risk human lives in favor of space research? What is the relationship between the horrific research sums and the benefit for the common man? And is it selfish to decide against family and work as an astronaut? All these elements add spice to the film, which is extremely entertaining despite its 140 minutes running time and which also has a spectacular look. ”Chazelle's Neil Armstrong biopic is not a story about an American hero, but a portrait of a sensitive man, who helped human history to one of its greatest triumphs, said Wessels.

The film's worldwide revenue from theatrical screenings is $ 96.7 million. The film recorded 146,639 visitors in Germany.

Accuracy of the representation

Ulrich Walter : "The Gemini-8 capsule, in which Neil Armstrong made his first space flight together with David Scott , and which ended almost fatally [...], is absolutely real, no question."

Former astronaut Ulrich Walter , who has headed the chair for space technology at the Technical University of Munich since March 2003 , says the film shows with meticulous precision what people experience and feel in the extreme situations of space travel. Just as shown in Departure for the Moon , Neil Armstrong was an excellent jet pilot with nerves as thick as a finger. The fact that his work led his family to the edge of the abyss is also told in detail in the story, which is where the film's strengths lie: “The film is a work of art made up of the combination of original film material from the Apollo era and added animation. Even a connoisseur finds it difficult to distinguish between what is original and what is animated. The Gemini-8 capsule, in which Neil Armstrong made his first space flight with David Scott and which ended almost fatally - which the film portrays very movingly - is absolutely real, no question about it. ”Among the few points that can be objectively observed One could criticize, for example, the simulated lunar surface, which is staged with the simplest, cardboard toy box sand, instead of using the lunar regolith simulate NASA JSC-1A, which looks exactly like the real lunar regolith, says Walter.

In the film, Neil Armstrong controls the ferry on the moon landing, but in reality Buzz Aldrin was the pilot of the "LMP" and Neil was the mission commander.

controversy

Since the film omitted the moment when Neil Armstrong placed the US flag on the lunar floor, he was accused of anti-Americanism after its premiere at the Venice Film Festival . There was criticism, among others, from the Republican Senator Marco Rubio .
