a thrilling part from the movie

I saw The Aeronauts at LFF and loved it. Eddie and Felicity were fantastic, as I expected.
I liked the thrilling, at times funny and touching adventure. It is beautifully shot. I liked
the effect of this short 90 minutes journey on the characters. Amelia is not a real person
and there are fictional story elements in the film but it's based on real events and stories.
Felicity said in an interview: "The film is very much the sort of top hits of ballooning."
Some people got annoyed about some details that actually were realistic. After the storm
when they reached the extreme height and the temperature became freezy, their wet hair
became ice caked (not only because it looks better). They didn't wear gloves, this is also
authentic. In 1862 real-life Glaisher and his pilot Henry Coxwell traveled to an unknown,
they didn't expect the extreme cold, didn't take gloves with them.

Esquire Interview (with 2016 Nov. photos): Eddie Redmayne: 
"It's Inspirational To Have A Dance Partner Who You Trust"

"We had two or three months of Felicity and I and Tom in a basket they built for us on
a small stage. Quite often when you’re filming, you see the set for the first time the day
that you walk onto it. The delicacy of this film is in the detail. It was before my wife
was pregnant, and Felicity was about to get married, and that’s when we rehearsed
for a couple of months. Felicity then got married, and Luke, my son was born. So, we
took some time off having already rehearsed it. Then when we came back, it was there
in our guts, but also quite new – because we’d rehearsed for quite a long time, but
then there was the freshness of coming back to something with a renewed spirit..."

"There is a dance scene. Glaisher is a really shoddy dancer, so that actually took
weeks of preparation. Even though he’s meant to be a shoddy dancer, Tom had to
tell me a lot that I’m meant to be a bad dancer. But, I mean, there’s bad dancing
and then there’s scene-ruining dancing."
