Reply to comment by ItsPennAgain in BABYLON in Three Key Scenes: An interview with Damien Chazelle, Cinematographer Linus Sandgren, and Editor Tom Cross about the movie's portrait of silent and sound filmmaking, and the crazy final montage. by Bullingdon1973

I personally hated the final montage. Felt like he wanted a big finish like La La land but missed all the right notes. Which is surprising because First Man’s final moments have such restraint and great direction.

First Man is such a beautiful movie. It's such a tonal shift from Chazelle's other films and it's better for it. It's cold, but not in an isolating way. It really feels like a good reflection of what must have been going through Armstrong's head at the time - having just lost his daughter and then training for a world-changing mission.
