Movie Reviews of The Right Stuff (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Movie Review: Greatest film of last quarter century
Summary: 5 Stars
This shamefully overlooked epic still stands as one of the great films about the American experience, particularly in its knowing but not quite cynical portrayal of the way appearance becomes reality in the national mind. Without being jingoistic, it is a wonderfully patriotic movie, seemingly almost against the filmmakers' will. The contrast between Chuck Yeager, here presented as the archtypal American individualist -- and a dying breed -- against the media-driven creation of the Mercury astronauts works well, probably because director Kaufman allows himself the time to present the men behind the cartoons.
Unforgettable scenes abound. The lyrical senquence at the end of the film, where each Mercury astronaut silently acknowledges their unspoken bond with one another, is one of the most moving and beautiful film moments I have ever seen.
Rich symbolic interludes coexist comfortably beside scatalogical humor, political satire next to stirring adventure. Like the space race itself, 'The Right Stuff' is a great American epic and richly deserves to be rediscovered by both viewers and film historians.
