Universal Pictures is financed by a fricking Chinese company. Per Wikipedia.

Not only was it an American achievement, the fact that no other country has since accomplished this in 50 years makes it an exclusively American achievement.

I don't think this is some huge conspiracy, but its not like its a huge secret how these elitists feel about American exceptionalism.

I’m not surprised, but it anyone with half a brain knows the American flag was planted on the moon.


So by my calculation approximately 98.7% of the world's population don't know the American flag was planted on the moon.

The issue with this is going to hurt them domestically with people like me, someone who has a nice home theater and is patient enough to wait. i won't spend 12 bucks to go see it in the theater with this going on in the movie.

His response is the problem with it. Had he come out and said that it was just a directorial decision. But playing it off as a historically human achievement cheapens it and what it meant to America at the time.
