Seventies Man	This film fascinated me when I watched it as I honestly thought it was an exciting film. That was when I first thought that Apollo 11 was partly faked. As the years go on I now know that the Apollo mission was real. The Mars mission in the film really did show how NASA and the U.S. could make it look like they were on Mars- but of course they wanted to kill thee astronauts off too. There is a nice write up on the site- It is true that CAPRICORN ONE will always be remembered as ” That movie about the Mars landing that’s faked in a film studio ” but this is to do it a slight disservice . The one thing I liked about this movie is that it succeeds in doing what must be the hardest thing for a screenwriter to do and that is to create pithy dialogue that sounds natural . Take the scene where the NASA boss catches the Vice President drooling over some spectators butt : ” It’s over there mister vice president .
