A biopic is not my fav'rite thing,
And of a standard white guy, much less so.
An astronaut is special, but to bring
Those inner qualities out in a show
Without creating snooze fests -- that's a feat.
A lot of little choices, made just right --
Tight focus, under-use of flashy, neat
FX shots from the outside in the night
Made this about the man's experience.
I might have liked, though, slightly wider scope:
The "Whitey's on the Moon" scene represents
A story under-shared. More than the trope
Of wounded heroes, that stuff caught my thought.
I'd like to see more of its like. Why not?
