The film opens with a narrated disclaimer over footage of an opening coffin. The narrator explains that the film's climax is so terrifying that it may kill the viewer, and reassures the audience that if they die of fright while watching the film, they will receive a free burial service, and it closes on the casket which has a card inside reading "Reserved for You."[1]
Newlyweds Jenni (Peggy Webber) and Eric (John Hudson) move into Eric's palatial country home. Jenni is Eric's second wife; his first wife Marion died when she accidentally slipped and hit her head on the edge of a decorative pond on the estate. At the home they meet Eric's friends, the Reverend Snow (Russ Conway) and his wife (Toni Johnson), as well as Mickey (Alex Nicol), the developmentally disabled gardener. Eric privately mentions to the Snows that Jenni spent time in an asylum following the sudden death of both her parents, and Mrs. Snow reveals that Jenni is very wealthy.
Jenni is disturbed both by Mickey's belief that Marion's ghost wanders the estate and by Marion's self-portrait inside the house, which Jenni believes resembles her mother. When she begins to hear unexplained screaming noises and see skulls around her house, she believes that Marion is haunting her. Though Eric speculates to Jenni that Mickey, who was a childhood friend of Marion and thus dislikes Jenni, may be behind the trickery, Jenni worries that she is going insane. Eric then suggests to remove Marion's self-portrait from the home. Eric and Jenni take the painting outside and burn it. While they clean up the remains of the painting, a skull emerges from the ashes. While Jenni panics at the sight of the skull, Eric denies that the skull is there. Jenni faints and Eric withdraws the skull and hides it, revealing that he was responsible for the trickery all along in an effort to get hold of her wealth.
Believing she has finally lost her sanity, Jenni resolves to be committed. She tells Eric that the entire property will be meticulously searched for the skull as a last resort. Before Eric can retrieve it, Mickey secretly steals the skull and brings it to the Reverend, revealing Eric's plans. That night, Eric prepares to murder Jenni and stage it as a suicide. Jenni sees Marion's ghost in Mickey's greenhouse and flees back to the house. When she enters, Eric begins throttling her. The ghost then appears and chases Eric outside and about the property; it finally corners and attacks him, drowning him in the decorative pond.
After Jenni regains consciousness, the Snows arrive. Mrs. Snow comforts a hysterical Jenni and the Reverend discovers Eric's body in the pond. Some undisclosed time later, Jenni and the Snows depart from the house. Reverend Snow declares whether or not Marion's death was an accident will remain a mystery.
以一个少年的角度展现当时美国家庭甚至全美社会的状态，登月计划对他们的影响。画风很有美漫的特点，插曲也很好听。默默的文化输出，国内也需要这样的作品。
我还挺怀旧的 但这个还是太私人了 评论说肯定会有一两件事引起回忆 那的确 但整体还是缺共鸣 没激起自己太多的回忆
琐碎对白撑起的自传电影，一般适合在电视上当纪录片放放。
影片中间韩老师的哥哥也来了，我以为会有什么拉跨的情节，但是并没有，韩老师用他的责任心同样说服了他的哥哥，这使我印象深刻。
真的是把rotoscope用在这个奔月梦上再合适不过了。最精彩的是后面的平行剪辑。
娓娓道来的一次怀旧的时光，大事件与我们的生活其实多么不相干，却又影响着一代人的成长。
很好的-部电影，画面很清晰人物很真
喜欢看这种自然之美烘托出来的电影，不得不说这电影让我心动了
原来导演之前就有这种画风的动画电影尝试，电影拿了航天的背景做了那个年代的画像，很散但也很私人，比较无感
感谢这个电影让我关注到了那些山村的孩子，希望更多的人看到，给那些孩子带去希望。
半梦半醒的少年时代。尤其片尾字幕 说当年有个kid真的跟着去了 以及 所有人都没有回来..好吧 get到了林哥的幽默就是说
少年心怀航空梦，几乎每一个男孩都憧憬着有朝一日能够漫步太空，亲临月之暗面。画风延续《黑暗扫描仪》，以动画的方式再一次回味并上演《少年时代》，理查德·林克莱特依旧温情浓酽，令人动容。记忆中的岁月，伴随着成长的历程被贴上鎏金的滤镜，嬉皮士、太空乐园、阖家坐在电视前、青少年的游戏还有旧电影，经历的事情愈多，这些少年往事便变得愈加弥足珍贵。所以呈现出的怀旧复古气息中也增添了不少美化添加剂。记忆越来越远，曾经的年代浓缩成一个符号。留下情怀，慢慢感怀。
林克莱特总能抓住生活中最有趣的地方，或许有时候是符号化的或带有刻板印象，但正是这些东西标记出了记忆的轮廓。能感受到林克莱特对于回忆的真诚，在这动画化的休斯敦，有时候居然能勾起自己已忘却的童年回忆。这种普世童年质感，上一次体会到还是奥尔米的《木屐树》。
现实生活没有玫瑰色的滤镜，无力承受，提前退，在朋友圈感叹入不敷出，免了一个月。这世上有什么坎是过不去，看了一下存款，和要还的还款，承认是穷疯了，兔子疯了要咬人，穷了要发疯，别疯 先给你疫情免一个月，等找到再说。60－70年代年的美国，那时的一切都朝气蓬勃欣欣向荣，人们乐观地相信未来，但梦幻的少年时代，只是记忆增添的滤镜，不义战争、种族歧视与性别压迫，危机一直都在，当下的风暴正在酝酿中，五十多年过去了，宁静海的脚印还在，但再未有人类的身影，从月球俯瞰地球，是一个混乱诡谲的时代，但那也是一个仰望星空的时代，那是一个惨绝人寰的世界，也是一个凤凰涅槃的世界，左手屠刀，右手罗盘
多谢烂片老师让我知道不止中国动画降智了😘😘
无论是不是太空时代，人们永远都在探索内心的宇宙，永远会怀念那些热情洋溢的琐碎时光。
82/100。刚看完《登月第一人》和“爱在”三部曲，看这部简直是perfect timing。整部电影将虚幻与现实交叉，充满了浓浓的怀旧气氛，平淡又真切，很容易令人共情，与导演一同怀念他童年时期那段经典岁月。怀旧的同时，也不乏对当时，以及对现在的些许反思。我很喜欢这种将童年的幻梦与现实交杂在一起的怀旧叙事，谁的童年记忆不是亦真亦幻的呢？是目前我最喜欢的今年的动画电影。（男主好像扎尼奥洛
对60年代美苏太空竞赛期间的非常有趣的少年视角，里面杂糅了男主在整个阿波罗11号升空时期休斯顿的童年回忆：似懂非懂的政治事件，和伙伴们的学校生活，兄弟姐妹们为了打发时间发明的各种游戏，当然还有男主那个惊奇的飞行员幻想。又是一部充满怀旧气息的成长题材作者作品，想想真是巧：昨天刚看完关于怀旧的《无线电时代》和历史题材的《阿波罗13》，今天就看了恰好是两个题材的融合品，而且是关于“电视时代”的，真的有点奇妙。
#里面的巧合过多，情节推进得过快，主题还是很不错的
很有趣，在观看的过程中，睡着了两次，并不是因为无聊，而是感到很放松，很喜欢本片的基调，令人羡慕的五六十年代美国中上层地区小孩儿的生活，相比太空探索的伟事，我更喜欢看主角的日常生活趣事。
