Spoiler alert: The following post contains information about the plot of the movie "First Man".
WASHINGTON – Neil Armstrong's sons, Rick and Mark, confirmed that their father had spoken to them before going into space and becoming the first man to walk on the moon, warning them of the danger of the mission.
Rick said the two collaborated on the film directed by Damien Chazelle "First man" for two and a half years.
"This scene came from us," he said. "So what Ryan (Gosling, who plays Neil) says is pretty much exactly what I remember from this meeting.
"And (my father) said: 'Do you have any questions?' And I know we had some, but I do not remember what they were," Rick added. There is also a moment when Neil's eldest son shakes his father's hand at the end of their conversation, for which Rick was also a little vague. "I'm not sure of the handshake," he explained. "It could have happened, maybe I hugged him in. I do not know, but Ryan basically said," We think we'll come back, but there's a risk, "he says. nearly. . "

For Mark, the portrait of his father by Gosling is exactly what he would like the astronaut who died in 2012 to be remembered.
"It could be intense, but it could also be fun," recalls Mark. "There are scenes like the one where he's trying to get Rick in a freezer, he liked to have fun like that.
"He also had a great sense of humor and people do not know it," continued Mark, "and we want people to know it."
As for the memory of the 1969 moon landing, Rick predicts that it looks like others.
"I just watched TV on television, like everyone else," said Rick, 12 years old in 1969. "Just in our living room, surrounded by many people, trying to understand exactly what we were watching, because this it was not the case – the clearest image in the world "
"It was very grainy," added Mark, who was 6 years old at the time.
But their experience must have been different from that of the average viewer, right? It was their father on the moon, after all.
"We were excited, but in an amazing way, our parents, after telling us what was going on, we were not scared," Mark said. "We did not have nightmares or anything like that, we were just excited like the rest of the world."
