Christ - that part when he looks at Buzz and Eagle while thinking about Karen 😞
Man.. Sometimes ads can destroy the atmosphere between 2 clips so much..😭😭
3..2..1.. Ignition..
Going up there with a heart full of love. Only way to astronaut.
This scene reminded me of Bing-Bong's death scene from Inside Out. "Take her to the moon for me, okay?" And here, Neil really did. So sad yet so heartwarming. Two of my most favorite movies.
0:54 found the flag.
So emotional 😢😢😢
The scenes with Neil's daughter really got to me. Poor family. No wonder he never spoke to anyone about this.It also makes me furious at those idiots criticising the film for not specifically showing the flag being erected. Seriously, how can you watch a scene like this and then give a stuff about a flag?
*is that really happened? the scene where Neil Armstrong threw his daughter's bracelet in the lunar crater?*
This Scene really make me tears and remind me about my late fiancee.. We went to watch this movie together on cinema back year 2018.. and she whispered on my ear saying ‘This is the most emotional scene i ever seen on this movie’ .. and she started to tears while looking at me.. RIP..
😞😞😞
I don't have children, but this scene kills me. 💔
Most Saddest Scenes in Movies:1982: ET: Goodbye1994: Forrest Gump: Jenny's Death2018: First Man: Karen's Death
NASA From Tomorrowland Imagination Movie In 1969 Apollo 11 Return To Earth
This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. I might be a little biased because I have a 10 month old daughter but wow! The cinematography and story are stunning! I heard it didn’t do well financially.. guess people just want to seeped avengers... boy we suck as a race.. garbage in garbage out
It doesn’t matter what he does or how far he goes. It doesn’t matter how much he sacrifices, what he achieves, what steps or leaps he takes. She will always be gone. And he will always be a lone shadow staring into the void.
Fuck.... My heart shatters asunder....
This scene, moreover this film just straight up broke me. Never has a work of cinema pierced my heart and stirred my soul the way First Man did. Justin Hurwitz and Damien Chazelle created a beautuful intimate refelection on love and loss in the context of humanity's biggest and biggest achievement. They deserve so much more appreciation than they got.
very moving
😩😭😢
This scene puts me at peace but also makes me feel sad at the same time 😶 Only Damien and Justin could pull off such a thing 🙏🏼
except for this one scene, the entire movie was shot with stupidly shaky camera.
Eu chorei tanto, mas tanto nessa cena, mds.
To me, this is one of the most emotional scenes I've ever seen, I think I either teared up or cried the first time I watched this, but I know that this scene hit me like a ton of bricks, this scene is unexplainably and simultaneously beautiful and heartbreaking. I didn't expect this scene to hit me as hard as it did. But I could feel my heart breaking a bit. That's not an exaggeration, I truly did. I really hope that Neil Armstrong left this bracelet or something like that to honor Karen by leaving something of hers on the moon, in real life. If it's true, then that is incredible and even more beautiful. And now when I look up at the moon, I will think of this movie, this score, this scene, and Karen. Rest peacefully, Karen and Neill. You are never forgotten. And you are both at peace and finally with each other... ❤
One of the most wonderful movies of the past years. I saw the landing live in TV as a very small kid. Thanks to mum. Thanks to Neil, I will never forget you.
I miss you dad.
This had me dying in the theater and I saw it three times. Every time I lost it
I lost my daughter 4 years ago... And this movie made to see up the sky, the night, while i saw the moon, i saw my daughter... I love you Alice, and goodbye 💜
When i saw this in theaters, not gonna lie, it made me cry.
Perfect
In less than 48 hours I will be standing or sitting next to Karen's grave and listening to Justin Hurwitz score. I will watch this video too. To honor and in memory of Karen & Neil. I have GPS coordinates of Neil's Cabin on Juniper Hills where actually Karen peacefuly gained her angel wings... being hugged by Neil on about 10 AM, Sunday, 28 January 1962
I love this scene
*Manly tears intensify* 😖
This scene was amazing with the Image and the soundtrack to his emptiness as he’s thinking of his dead daughter. It was a very motional scene!
Happy Birthday Karen!! :)
There are some depths in us..that you can't put in words..
Too bad Gru from Despicable Me stole the fucking moon.
This movie is criminally underrated.
28 January 1956, Saturday - wedding of Janet & Neil Armstrongs. 28 January 1962, Sunday - Karen dies. 31 January 1962, Wednesday - she is buried on Joshua Memorial Park & Mortuary Baby Heart Section, place 28A in Lancaster.
You can see here how beautyful Karen actually was (Photo taken during Christmas, 1961, just a month before she died).images.findagrave.com/photos/2019/88/13166835_58dbe7ad-794a-4133-a66c-c30c870dce6a.jpeg
So sad and so happy this was the last film I saw and the last few minutes I saw in the extended screen. Justins Hurwitz's score accompanied by Ryan Gosling's acting and the cinematography Linus Sandgren made it the perfect "moving on moment" for Neil as he finally can be at peace with his daughter's death.(SOME CHILDHOOD SHIT IS NEXT THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ, DON'T BOTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO. JUST WANT TO SHARE.)This was also the last film I saw in IMAX before the screen was replaced in Carousel. Here in Perth WA we had the LieMAX but the fact remains any IMAX screen was better than what we have right now and I saw the first Force Awakens, Last Jedi, pretty much all of the MCU/DCEU, Godzilla/Kong, Transformers 3 and 4, IT, Sully, The Martian, BR2094, Logan, Everest, Incredibles 2, Rogue Nation, The Dark Knight Rises, Interstellar, and Dunkirk, but only 2049, Dunkirk, Interstellar, Logan, Infinity War, TDKR, Rogue Nation, and First Man made me walk out with that "wow" feeling. That cinema was pretty much what sparked my love for films and this scene reminds me of the memories I had with my parents and my friends going out too, this particular scene however just hit way too close to home.RIP Neil, Karen, and Janet Armstrong.RIP IMAX Perth
Neil hugs Karen and sings: ...I see the moon, the moon sees me. Down through the leaves of the old oak tree. Please let the light that shines on me, shine on the one I love..."
First Man movie made me obsessed with Neil Armstrong early life. Especially the period of Karens short life and X-15 plane testing times at Edwards Airforce Base. I just bought tickets and on 22th may I'll be landing after at least 12 hour flight on LAX airport. On the next day I will rent a car and go to near Lancaster town just to fire up a candle on Karens grave. And to pray for her soul. And to leave her a present from me. A bracelet. I will listen to First Man soundtrack doing so. After that moment I will check remainings of a cabin where Armstrongs lived on Juniper Hills (Palmdale/Lancaster, CA) when she died (years 1959-1962). That will be very emotional trip because in some way my situation is very similar to Neils... I feel somehow connected with them. R.I.P. Karen. PS I come from Poland. It will be a long way to pay homage to Armstrongs, especially Karen Ann "Muffie" Armstrong. But this trip will be the greatest to date to me. Can't wait!
the one thing i notice that when they're look at the moon they always look to the left corner of the screen, sometimes it's obvious (when Neil used the sextant to look at the moon) sometimes it's pretty vague (like Neil and his daughter is this clip). But it still implied that Neil's daughter loved to go the moon someday (even when he sang the lullaby for her at the beginning, it's about the moon or so). Long story short, going to the moon was a way for Nail to redeemed his agony for his daughter's death at such a young age. Lovely touch from Chazelle.
Awesome scene. Neil Armstrong was an absolute hero. The fact that he was a MAGA fan makes his story even better.
How the fuck did this not win best score at the oscars, let alone get nominated?
What music is in the background at 2:15?
Rest in Peace Karen :(
There's your flag right there: 0:54
It took him a trip to the moon to come to terms with his daughters death. Grief is a son of a bitch. Beautiful film.
isn't it ironic that Vice was nominated for Best Picture but this masterpiece didnt :(
I've been waiting so long for movie, that will make me cry
I hope Neil find God at last in that desolate place.
So the wife and I popped this in tonight not knowing a lot about Neil’s true story and to be honest we had to eject the disc by the time the funeral hit 8 mins in. We have a 17 month old daughter and she is our world... it just was too realistic and the thought of anything like that happening to any young child like that is too much for me... especially now that I’m a dad. I told myself id come on here to watch the final scene since i read up on what happens in the film... beautiful scene, but I just couldnt watch it as a whole... not yet anyway. To anyone who has had pain like this in their life, I am so sorry and I wish you all the happiness the world has to offer. The opening scenes were too realistic and I dunno i have never had that experience before. My wife and i cried and literally had to put something else on. Has anything like this ever happened to anyone else? Weird too because I have seen the movie Arrival a bunch of times and love it. Sure it makes me tear up alot but i cant pinpoint why this is even worse. Like i said i got just a few mins into it. Just thought id share.
Such a sad scene :(
I wish this scene was true :(
In this movie Damien Chazelle did give another dimension to the expression " I love you to the moon and back"
This was one of the most emotional scenes from any movie I've ever seen. It's a shame Neil didn't do this, but I was hoping it was true.
Don't let it go murph
The entire movie was about a man learning how to say goodbye to his daughter. When you watch it from that context it really is heartbreaking. Such an amazing film.
