I'm sorry folks, I just can't get on-board the "First Man" train, not for particularly political reasons, such as what Richard Brody and Armond White seem to be doing, no, I believe Chazelle's film was rather stilted, impenetrable if you will -- it didn't help that I couldn't care less about the moon landing in the first place. 

Yes, the film is about a huge, earth-shaking event, one which I wasn't alive to bear witness to or understand the importance of, but, truth be told, what did government exactly accomplish by going to the moon? Stealing American's precious tax-paying dollars?
