Duncan Jones
Moon

Each decade for me has its symbolic science fiction film, for the 2000s this "Moon" is the work that deserves to be remembered by posterity. The plot in brief is this: an astronaut on a mission to the Moon discovers that in reality, his life does not belong to him as he is a clone, and after discovering other clones in the base, he will manage through various trials to expose the Company for which he "works" or rather thought he was working. The direction, sober but incisive, is by Duncan Jones, a multi-award-winning English director, son of a well-known Rockstar. The protagonist is Sam Rockwell, who in appearance could be the younger and less handsome brother of Tom Cruise, but unlike Cruise, he manages to convey emotions with a furrowed brow or a crooked expression on his face, just as Kevin Spacey can, who appears briefly in the film, with whom he can compete on the level of talent and charisma. Visually, the film doesn't exactly have the stature of the "Classic" cinema, but considering that the director preferred to use three-dimensional models to represent environments and means of transport, instead of cloying virtual effects, which plague so many films, and also considering that the creators of the special effects are the same as those of movies like "Alien," "Silent Running," and "Outland," it can be said that this film has its own recognizable style and a particular charm, and could become over time a "Cult Movie."
