Fly Me to the Moon: a sparkling, pleasant, and entertaining comedy.
It is a film set in the fascinating 1960s, an era of great changes and innovations. The plot follows the adventures of the brilliant and determined Kelly Jones, played by the talented and beautiful Scarlett Johansson. Kelly is a creative and ambitious advertising executive, full of hidden talents, tasked with revitalizing NASA's image during the frantic space race.
The film is directed by the ingenious Greg Berlanti, who skillfully blends elements of comedy, love, and humor. The screenplay is rich with witty and lively dialogues, making the narrative vibrant and dynamic. The chemistry between Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum is palpable and authentic, with Tatum playing the charming Cole Davis, the flight director of the mission; their connection is so palpable and tender that we gradually fall in love with their blossoming romance.
The great Woody Harrelson also brings to the screen a mysterious character with an intriguing and manipulative attitude, but also ironic and witty.
The sets are spectacular and detailed, perfectly recreating the nostalgic and vibrant atmosphere of the 1960s with the clothes, hairstyles, and makeup of the time. But not only that: the sets are spectacular and detailed in precisely recreating the launch and landing of Apollo 11. The launch is spectacular, with an imposing platform, frantic technicians, and a rocket lifting off in an explosion of flames and smoke. The landing is equally thrilling, with a dusty and gray lunar surface, a lunar module landing gently, and astronauts exploring the alien landscape. The lights and shadows create a mysterious and surreal atmosphere, making the visual experience exciting and unforgettable.
The costumes are elegant and colorful, helping to immerse the viewer in a fascinating and glamorous era. The soundtrack is a mix of classic songs and original melodies, taking us back in time and perfectly accompanying the emotions and events of the protagonists. And throughout it all, there's always the cat: a black cat, elusive and amusing, considered a bad omen for the mission, constantly chased by superstitious characters. With its shiny fur and piercing eyes, it sneaks around NASA, creating comical and lively situations. In the end, however, it turns out to be a true good luck charm, unexpectedly contributing to the mission's success.
A plot that, although light, is well-made and well-constructed, a pleasant film to watch that manages to entertain and move; it is a pleasant and passionate romantic comedy.
