First Man

First Man director and producer Damien Chazelle explains he wanted the film to be like an immersive, virtual-reality experience for audiences, and that he believes one of the most important elements of the film is the personal story of Neil and Janet Armstrong. He remarks on the historical and cultural impact of the moon landing and admits he learned much more about the sacrifices that the real Neil and Janet made during Neil's pursuit to become the first man on the moon.
