And session with hiking. 50 years ago the apollo 11 spacecraft was on its way to the moon when the astronauts landed and live pictures were beamed into our living rooms it altered our perception of the moon and indeed outer space and in films the whole perception of the moon changed as well heres some examples of the moon on film starting with real pictures of massas achievement off a century ago. It was perhaps the greatest human adventure of all time shown live on television. A new documentary apollo 11 tells the story of the 1st manned moon landing it features digitally restored footage from Nessus Archive as well as rediscovered film reels that had never been seen before you have to kind of whittle down one of the key moments or the moments of humanity that happen what were the things that stood out what really got me was the emotion on their faces
you could see the weight of what they were about to do. But the world of cinema was fascinated with the moon long before people landed
seen as a place of escape from earth s problems as well as a place of problems in its own right of course since the lunar mission film portrayals of the moon have become more realistic even now they reveal as much about how unfair it is and desires as they did a century ago. from our colleague melissa holroyd is over the moon about this topic . it s always fascinated us though hasn t yet and it s fascinated us through film for over a century the moon is also very symbolic isn t it represents time because it s constantly changing it represents births and breed birth it s also represents the dark place within ourselves that we go when we need to regenerate and start again but since the moon landing the way perceived in movies has become much more realistic gets become a lot more real estate fish or has that when i think about 1st man the 2018 film
