'First Man: The Annotated Screenplay' reveals what the film got right — and wrong [i]In the opening scene of "First Man," moviegoers immediately find themselves in the cockpit with Neil Armstrong aboard an X-15 rocket plane. The screen is filled with a lot of true-to-life details, from the layout of the aircraft's controls to the look of the silvery pressure suit. Even the callouts being made by Armstrong — portrayed here by Ryan Gosling — were taken directly from the real 1962 flight logs. The curvature of the horizon comes into view and it is as if director Damien Chazelle used a clip from a vintage NASA film. (For the record, he did not, though he did choose to shoot in 16mm to capture that same grainy archival look.) But then the camera captures something that should not be there — a dense layer of clouds.[/i]
