[QUOTE=Stonius;1398463 ... The film deals a lot with the stress the program placed on his family...

I get that impression when I view the trailer and I wonder how true it is, or whether it is a Hollywood creation. In reality, I believe the wife and family would have been more stoic. Armstrong was a test pilot and if his wife fretted to him about her concerns as shown in the trailer, he would either had to change jobs or change wives.

No, I think they voiced the wife's concern well beyond what she did in life. Of course she would have been worried, but Neil A could not have gone to the Moon without her being stoic and strongly supporting her man.

Still, I have not seen the movie, so I may be wrong. I am interested in the opinions of those that did and if the family dimension was really was a major part of the narrative. If so, I won't go to the movie coz I would find that manufactured drama to be aggravating.
