Der Stoff aus dem die Helden sind (1983)
42KDer Stoff aus dem die Helden sind: Directed by Philip Kaufman. With Sam Shepard, Scott Glenn, Ed Harris, Dennis Quaid. The story of the original Mercury 7 astronauts and their macho, seat-of-the-pants approach to the space program.
“It was wonderful to see again this 1983 gem. Just as I remembered plus those unexpected surprises that time puts in evidence. Kim Stanley for instance. A few minutes on the screen, a peripheral character but I took her with me and here I am, thinking about her. The u0026quot;starryu0026quot; role jet pilots played and that new breed: u0026quot;tha astronautsu0026quot; getting the all American treatment, becoming overnight celebrities. Ed Harris is extraordinary as John Glenn. He becomes a sort of leader with some TV experience and we never ask why. Ed Harrisu0026#39;s performance explains it all without ever actually saying it. Dennis Quaid is irresistible as u0026quot;Gordou0026quot; Cooper. You believe every one of his thoughts, specially the ones he never reveals. In spite of the filmu0026#39;s length, I wished the film would not end. I havenu0026#39;t had that wish very often. u0026quot;The Right Stuffu0026quot; is the real thing.”
