see a the world snooker championship final finish in a premature and disappointing manner with ronnie o ` sullivan defeating greame dott by 18 frame to 8 bbc 2 find a gap in their schedule and so decide to broadcast a walk on the moon a movie i have absolutely no knowledge offi miss a few second of the title credit so have no idea viggo mortensen star in it and think possibly it might be a cheap tvm and certainly the opening with the mawkish pearl and marty take their kid to a summer camp have that sort of make for tv feel though the brightly lit ( too brightly lit ) cinematography seem to suggest this be a cinematic film and it wasn ` t until the appearence of viggo mortensen a hippy guy walker that i realise this be a cinema release and after all someone of mortensen stature wouldn ` t star in a tvm and i mean that like a legend like robert deniro appear in a straight to video film . wait a minute and didn ` t bob . . some people on this site have mention that pearl and marty be an unconvincing on screen couple and i agree . i can understand why pearl would be attract to excite hippy guy but have no idea why walker would be attract to plain house wife pearl . the sixty be before my time but surely if you ` ve get the choice between hippy chick and bore house wive it not really a choice at all . mind you a lot of people take lsd in those day so i guess that explain iti feel the major problem of a walk on the moon come down to the fact it a romantic drama at heart ( just like you ` d expect in a tvm ) with several cloy come of age scene so why include a fairly explicit sex scene . it jar with the rest of the movie and be possibly off put to the menopuasal woman who be 20 something in 1969 . i say possibly because the movie also seem to aim at a teeenage market with the come of age scene and those teenager will probably be bore with the historical and social context of man walk on the moon and woodstock . in other word a walk on the moon try to attract many type of audience but will probably appeal to none of them .
