From Earth to Moon

For all mankind, directed by Al Reynarth, focuses on the beauty of the Earth, as seen from space, with the experience of Apollo crew members and mission control staff who play over the original mission personnel. The film covers the period between 1968 and 1972, during which 24 people went to the moon as part of NASA's nine missions.

For all mankind avoids many conventional documentaries instead of combining NASA archive footage overlaid with radio mission communications and backed by comments from astronauts themselves. Reynhart distilled 80 minutes from the one story of literally thousands of archive footage.
We see astronauts adjust, get on the shuttle, run into space, land on the Moon, and explore its surface.
We see that mission controllers spend time watching screens talking to astronauts. Voice transmission gives you access to the astronauts' mental state. One realizes that these people, once in their life, have the opportunity to bear a great deal of responsibility.
Sequences such as the look of our blue planet, as seen from the back end of the flying rocket or the vision of the moon's surface, stretching into a black horizon, swell the entire film. An astronaut described in it describes it as a sense of "supreme enthusiasm" on the mission of the Moon.

For all mankind he will not teach you any technical undertaking to go to the moon; his interest is to deeper things. What did the people who saw our Earth from the Moon think? For all mankind boasts images of sunrise over the moon's surface, stunning visuals on Earth, represented as a strip of colored light hanging in black infinity. His truth is an empirical truth that is not empirical.
Rather than being news, Reinart focuses on people on board flights. The only voices heard in the film are the voices of the astronauts and mission control. Reinart uses the astronaut's own words of interviews and missions.
The moon is at 3.84,400 kilometers from Earth For all mankind is certainly the "film there" that mankind has still produced.
The music for this very difficult but deeply spiritual journey is Brian Eno's majestic result. Heno, known for her contribution to iconic music, really brings the visuals of this film to her musical music. Without the score that strives to recreate the weightlessness of the cosmos, this film will never come out. The result of Brian Inno highlights the strangeness, the miracle and the beauty of astronauts' experiences.

Rakesh SharmaThe first Indian, reaching space, once said, "I hope we will not bring conflicts out of this planet to others. None of the paradigms that set us here on earth – boundaries, parchialism, division, should not disturb our presence in space. "
One of the astronauts For all mankind says of his experience, looking at the Earth from this far distance: "Do not think of it as Texas or the US, think of it as Earth. The three things I associate with Earth are people, green trees and fresh water.
This sense of universality is also reflected in the choice of the title of the film. The title derived from the moon plaque left by the astronauts of Apollo 11: "Here the people of the planet Earth first stepped on the moon, July 1969.
The brave individuals who dare to go into space and then on the moon do not look like anybody else before them. They were one part military, one part scientist, all adventurers. They are not just a nation but the whole of mankind.
