So “First Man” is supposed to be a Armstrong & landing on the moon biopic- w/o USA Flag?

The film fails to show one of the most integral moments of American history – when Armstrong plants the American flag on the moon, according to The Telegraph. Ryan Gosling, the Canadian actor who portrays Armstrong in the movie, defended the decision to not show the flag. Gosling was asked at the Venice Film Festival whether omitting the scene was deliberate and the actor attempted to sidestep the question by responding that the moon landing “transcended countries and borders.”
quote:
Gosling said he didn’t think Armstrong “viewed himself as an American hero.”
quote:
Gosling jokingly admitted he might have “cognitive bias” being that he’s Canadian.
AND THERE IT IS. CANADA AND THE REST OF THE WORLD ARE JEALOUS SHITHOLE NATIONS.

If he talked to Armstrong, I'd like to hear his response to this.

What would Gosling do in a movie about this?

Look guys, if it takes shitting all over America in order to sell movies overseas, well, those Hollywood Whores are willing to do just that.

Buzz Aldrin would kick his arse.

I’m sure they also cut the prayers spoken and Buzz taking holy communion too. Probably been tastefully replaced with a prayer rug and pride march.

Where's the suspense? We know how it ends...

More faux outrage

Did they take the American flag off the side of the space suit too? What a bunch of liberal pricks. A movie like this...starring a fricking Canadian. Disgrace

yep its SJW "you didnt build that yourself america, everyone in the world did"
it is the equivalent of making a movie about Iwo Jima that doesnt include the flag being raised because we can have anything that recognizes american exceptionalism, because that is being racist towards the rest of the planet

quote:I think people are overlooking the "hero" part of that statement, which was in context of the conversation about his humility and insistence on recognizing the efforts of everyone involved. Here is what immediately preceded the "American Hero" comment in the Telegraph article:
Gosling said he didn’t think Armstrong “viewed himself as an American hero.”
quote:
I also think Neil was extremely humble, as were many of these astronauts, and time and time again he deferred the focus from himself to the 400,000 people who made the mission possible.
quote:
He was reminding everyone that he was just the tip of the iceberg - and that's not just to be humble, that's also true.

The man has spoken
Chuck Yeager weighs in on 'First Man' flap: 'That's not the Neil Armstrong I knew'
Hollywood’s portrayal of astronaut Neil Armstrong in the biopic “First Man” was quick to elicit the attention on Friday of aviation legend Gen. Chuck Yeager.
Social media platforms lit up before the weekend as news spread that Ryan Gosling’s latest film does not include the American flag being planted on the moon. Critics fretted that “First Man” would essentially turn Mr. Armstrong into a progressive caricature when Mr. Yeager, 95, weighed in.
“Ryan Gosling is coming out with the movie First Man where it portrays Neil Armstrong as a liberal progressive anti-Trump (in spirit) non-flag waiver,” a user identified as @ClarenceSwirly wrote. “Probably agree with the National Anthem kneelers, too; at least in Hollywood’s liberal imagination. For your Info.”
“That’s not the Neil Armstrong I knew,” Mr. Yeager...

That's fine...but "the world" didn't do it. There was no we. In fact, we were in competition with another country Gosling may have heard of...
And that aspect of the story was a HUGE deal...beating the Russians.
That was our drive. Omitting that is not really telling the full story about why we went to the Moon.

I understand what they were meaning to do - and the flag is in the movie - just not the planting of it. They have kinda screwed up the way they are explaining away not having that scene. It’s been so poorly executed they had to bring in the Armstrong family (who obviously want people to like the movie) to try and fix the poor PR.
No biggie - they just need to shut up the rambling actor trying to put himself above the film.
I don’t think it’s going to stop me from watching it.

Somebody should ask Who Made the Moon?

I watched the trailer for this film, and it looks interesting. Also, I saw flags on flight suits and in various buildings.
What is the genesis of all the outrage?
Does the film avoid mentioning the US for two full hours? Does the film assert that Armstrong planted the UN flag or something?
Or does it just choose not to focus upon the planting of the US flag?
