“First Man” opens with turning gears, flickering lights, static radio and heavy breathing. The face of a man flashes in and out of frame. His countenance is akin to the feeling of the scene — confused, dynamic, cramped. Suddenly, the commotion seems to sort itself out. The lights are on more than they are off.
