Set during the first half of 1969, director Greg Berlanti\u2019s high-concept screwball comedy values chemistry over history, bending the facts to suggest a fresh set of stakes for the operation, where romance fuels a rocket to the moon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    For decades, questions have dogged the Apollo 11 project. Who really won the space race? (Neil Armstrong may have been first to step foot on the moon, but the Soviets actually beat America into space.) Did NASA fake the moon landing? (Skeptics still insist it was staged, either by Stanley Kubrick or someone else, for publicity purposes.) Story credit goes to Keenan Flynn and Bill Kirstein, as screenwriter Rose Gilroy takes these doubts and extrapolates them into what the film itself might call an \u201calternative version\u201d of events \u2014 one that puts authenticity itself on the line.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    At the time, NASA\u2019s beleaguered undertaking had a dual significance: It was about both achieving the impossible and beating the Soviet Union in space. And yet, the opposite of communism isn\u2019t democracy, but capitalism. Gilroy\u2019s fresh-take <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a> illustrates how the U.S. government leveraged the strategies of the \u201cMad Men\u201d era (minus most of the misogyny) to market the lunar mission to the masses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    It might literally take a rocket scientist like Tatum\u2019s Air Force pilot-turned-NASA team captain Cole Davis to get America on the moon, but without the brains of Kelly Jones (Johansson\u2019s quick-witted but fictional character), Apollo 11 might never have gotten off the ground \u2014 that\u2019s how vital the PR component was to its success. By acknowledging that, Gilroy and Berlanti capture a turning point in American history, when spin became the coin of the realm \u2026 which seems all the more relevant in light of recent events.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cThe truth is still the truth, even if nobody believes it,\u201d Kelly tells Cole. \u201cAnd a lie is still a lie, even if everybody believes it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Frankly, there\u2019s little chance a movie like this would have flown in 1969 (remember, that was the year of the Manson murders, when \u201cEasy Rider\u201d became a surprise blockbuster and X-rated \u201cMidnight Cowboy\u201d won best picture). It\u2019s unusual even by contemporary standards, when rom-coms have been all but relegated to streaming \u2014 where this Apple original was destined until test screenings showed it could support a theatrical run. With its retro-styled polyester costumes and relatively chaste love story, Berlanti\u2019s film reaches back to an earlier, more innocent time, even as it presents a country in turmoil: The Vietnam War was dividing Americans at home, and President Nixon desperately wanted to make good on Kennedy\u2019s promise to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Enter Moe Burkus (Woody Harrelson), a shadowy government agent tasked with instigating conspiracies. He shows up at a Manhattan bar and offers Kelly (who\u2019s been lying selling her entire life) a chance to redeem herself. Her assignment is to bring America around to supporting Apollo 11, which means convincing not just the public, but also a handful of politicians holding out on a much-needed vote on Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    From the moment she appears on screen \u2014 wearing a fake pregnancy bump to an ad-agency pitch meeting \u2014 Johansson shows where Kelly\u2019s morals lie. She\u2019s playing a corporate con woman to Tatum\u2019s overgrown boy scout. In a scene straight out of \u201cTop Gun,\u201d the two characters meet at a roadside diner in Cocoa Beach, Fla., the night before they\u2019re destined to cross paths at Kennedy Space Center.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cYou\u2019re on fire,\u201d Cole tells her, and Kelly deflects the line, not realizing that, in fact, her notebook is blazing. The next day, the pair are considerably cooler around one another, as Cole considers whatever she\u2019s been hired to do a distraction to the task at hand, which is getting his men safely to the moon. (He still carries the deaths of the three Apollo 1 astronauts on his con<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a>.) Gilroy\u2019s script may not be historically accurate, but it is rigorously researched and ingeniously structured, using forgotten or little-publicized aspects of the mission in unexpected ways.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Compare that to Damien Chazelle\u2019s \u201cFirst Man,\u201d Hollywood\u2019s more overtly hagiographic look at Apollo 11 (and Armstrong in particular). \u201cFly Me to the Moon\u201d isn\u2019t nearly as likely to be shown in classrooms, but I found it infinitely more entertaining \u2014 and more revealing of American society. The modern era is all about selling, and even such an important endeavor had to be sold to the people. After Kelly offers NASA-themed partnerships to some of America\u2019s most popular brands (from Omega watches to Fruit of the Loom undies), Cole tells her he has no intention of turning his rocket into a giant billboard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    He\u2019s an idealist who just doesn\u2019t get it, as Moe later makes clear. The space race is only nominally about scientific achievement. To the folks at the top, it\u2019s really about ideology, and the movie makes that point without coming off cynical. Berlanti\u2019s an accomplished small-screen talent who brings a populist, Ron Howard-like sensibility to the assignment \u2014 more \u201cQuiz Show\u201d than \u201cApollo 13,\u201d as he takes a nostalgic (if somewhat budget-constrained) look at a time when the country willingly accepted what they saw on TV.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    That\u2019s why Moe takes to Kelly\u2019s idea of televising the moon landing, insisting that they stage the historical moment in a controlled environment. Moe essentially blackmails her into playing along, which amounts to an even greater betrayal of Cole\u2019s trust than she\u2019s already done by casting actors to play him and lead engineer Henry Smalls (Ray Romano) for the cameras. But Kelly has no choice, and so she enlists an old friend, high-maintenance director Lance Vespertine (Jim Rash, flamboyantly over-the-top), to do what even Kubrick wouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Considering how important sincerity is to Cole, it\u2019s hard to imagine Kelly\u2019s budding relationship with him surviving such a deception. But that\u2019s where the chemistry between the two characters kicks in. In the end, \u201cFly Me to the Moon\u201d only needs to sell one thing: that beneath Kelly and Cole\u2019s fast-paced dialogue and combative flirtation, there exists a mutual attraction compelling enough to keep us guessing. We already know how the lunar mission turns out, but never tire of gazing upon stars such as these.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
