Film Review Vault: In the Shadow of the Moon

Film: In the Shadow of the Moon

Tagline: Remember when the whole world looked up.

Rotten Tomatoes: 94%

Coop's Take:
For those interested in the human side of history, you'll love this documentary. There are two things that have stuck since watching: (1) I wish Neil Armstrong could have contributed to the narrative of the film; (2) what's happened to the great American ambition? We need to get back to that place where the world, once again, looks up to the values that our country represents: strength, bold hope, relentless courage.

Favorite Acting Scene:
All things Michael Collins! Great narrative, by an easily-overlooked American hero.

Coop's Movie Rating: 9
