First Man print

First Man is beautifully directed by Damien Chazelle and it follows Neil Armstrong in the years leading up to the Apollo 11 mission to the Moon in 1969.

A truly captivating movie which explores the story of the first Moon landing with deep humanity, and without glamorising it. Neil Armstrong was described by his family as a “reluctant American hero” and his reserved personality and quiet determination shine in this visually stunning movie with a gorgeous atmospheric soundtrack.

In this print I showed the complexity of Armstrong’s mission: getting to the moon, knowing very well that death was a possibility, while his family was waiting for him on Earth. I picked one of my favourite moments of the film where two blackboards are needed to show the distance between the Moon and the Earth with a straight line. While the movie didn’t show the American flag, I illustrated it here to add a layer of moral contrast.

If you are a fan of Neil Armstrong, of Damien Chazelle, of anything space-related (or all three things, like me!), this print is right for you.
