I watched the movie First Man which served to illustrate Neil Armstong’s life leading up to his historic journey to the moon. Prior to watching the film, I was unaware of the significant loss experienced throughout Armstrong’s life beginning with the loss of his daughter when she is a toddler This loss shapes the portrait of Armstrong throughout the movie as he is incredibly unemotional. Loss continues in his life as multiple of his friends and colleges in the space program die in a fire. I have experienced the loss of my grandfather and I had a similar reaction and have always felt odd as many around me had much more emotional reactions. To see another have this reaction was interesting to me in that regard.
