Neil Armstrong movie "First Man" omits American Flag being planted on the moon...

Recommended Posts

What BS...

 

https://www.businessinsider.com/neil-armstrong-movie-first-man-omits-american-flag-on-moon-gosling-defends-2018-8

 

The upcoming Neil Armstrong biopic "First Man," from "Whiplash" and "La La Land" director Damien Chazelle, premiered at the Venice Film Festival on Wednesday to rave reviews and early Oscar buzz. But the movie doesn't include a key scene in Armstrong's mission to the moon and an integral moment in American history.

 

The movie omits the moment of the American flag being planted on the moon (though the flag is present in the film), and the movie's star Ryan Gosling, who plays Armstrong, defended the decision when asked about it at Venice (via The Telegraph).

 

Gosling, who is Canadian, argued that the first voyage to the moon was a "human achievement" that didn't just represent an American accomplishment, and that's how Armstrong viewed it.

 

"I think this was widely regarded in the end as a human achievement [and] that's how we chose to view it," Gosling. "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."

 

Gosling added, "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. So I don't think that Neil viewed himself as an American hero. From my interviews with his family and people that knew him, it was quite the opposite. And we wanted the film to reflect Neil."

 

Gosling also joked that he's Canadian, so he "might have cognitive bias."

 

"First Man" arrives in theaters October 12 and also stars "The Crown" star Claire Foy as Armstrong's wife, Janet. It currently has a 92% on Rotten Tomatoes.

It's 2018 and we all have to hate America anyway, not celebrate it. Besides, they had to cut a lot out in order to extend the zero gravity gay sex scene to thirty minutes.

Ripon College in Wisconsin banned a 9/11 memorial because it may offend Muslims.

First, subsuming American achievement as one of your own when you're not an American? Fuuck you. Second, then we're owed one hell of a fuccking refund on our investment. All you other mother fuckers who think it's a human accomplishment? I'm expecting you to kick in your share of the cost with interest.

 

And third? Remember that jackass who tried to create a statue of them raising the flag after 9/11? Its based on a real fuucking photograph. A real fuucking photograph that didn't involve a single Nagger. But this guy just randomly added some negro. That's what this reminds me of.

 

Hey I know, how about we redo that painting of George Washington crossing the Delaware. Only this time he's an Asian woman. And of course on the boat itself the left turn signal is continually on.

 

Seriously, can you imagine the fuccking riots if we redid roots using Asians? Even though Asians were by almost every measure treated worse than blacks were during the same time period and afterward.? Nobody talks about that. Because Asians aren't looking to make excuses for their own fuuck ups. They take personal responsibility and move forward. 300 years from now blacks will still be saying but but but my great great great great great great great grandpa!

 

And no crap, try to reshoot some of the great Japanese films with North Korean actors. Sit back and talk about human achievement then motherfucker.

 

The fuucking Iranians were Furious that white people played the Persians for Christ's sake.

 

I'm not usually into the silly ass flag worshiping bullshit that you hear from some of these retards. But it was Americans who burned to death on the Launchpad leading up to this. It was Americans who sacrificed and risked life and limb for this so-called globl achievement.

 

All these years later and not a single fuucking government has replicated what we accomplished on the moon. Not even the Russians.

 

It's fuucking adorable to hear the Chinese talking about their moon mission. Hey fantastic Wang. After that, you can go ahead and invent the 1974 Ford Mustang too.

 

It's bad enough to try to throw that fiction at us with that horrible movie Hidden Figures. As if black women can do math at NASA of all places!

 

Maybe 'Massa'....

 

I have it on good authority that 60% of women are wearing the wrong size feminine pad. They can't even Master their own fuccking personal hygiene but you think they can Master advanced mathematics?

 

But I digress...

 

Damn, I need a beer.

Wiffle should have a role more like Andy Rooney used to have, but on a late night show, preferably on hbo. Just a random rant of the day kinda thing.

Leftists in Hollyweird and New York and the media and college campuses are so offended by anything the US does, so convinced that everything the US/Western Civilization has accomplished is bad and bigoted and racist, that they hate the flag, celebrate/praise kneelers who insult it, and cannot convince themselves to paint the US in a good light. Ever.

Did they show the camera and sound crew?

 

Did they show where all the astronauts, to a man, swore there were alien ships on the dark side and that the aliens told them to never come back (we havent)?

You mean besides the other five times the United States landed men on the moon and the dozens and dozens of unmanned missions from various countries over the years?

Because I disagree with th reason the "flag scene" wasn't shown. It was a calculated move and seems to be a trend these days.

 

I'll hang up and listen.

so they make a movie, and the 2 most significant parts are the first step and the planting of the flag, but they would rather make a political statement rather than just making a historical movie

 

this movie is guaranteed to bomb

Nah. They are already changing peoples race in movies. Mary Jane in spider man because a black girl. They offered the role of Ariel in the live action version of the little mermaid to a black girl. They are pushing for a black James Bond. All I can think of off the top of my head. Its not something that was said on a whim. Its things that are actually happening. Which is why I said I was surprised they didnt change him to a black guy.

Surprised they went with such an inflammatory title. The LGBT crowd will be complaining that it should be "First Cisgender Male Whose Pronoun Is He".

Nah. Im complaining that they are changing a character just for the sake of doing it. Its just dumb IMO and completely ignores what some of those characters are known for.

Dam youre not bright are you? Mary Jane is known for her bright red hair as a white girl. Same with Ariel. James Bond is your typical white play boy. These arent just a few examples off the top of my head. Could definitely find more but I dont care to look them up.

 

I just leave you with, if the roles were reversed and someone cast a white person to play someone who has always been black do you think people would be upset? The answer is yes. Black people were getting all up in arms when they were going to do a Michael Jackson film about his life and have a white person play MJ during his final years alive. Why would the director do that? Well cause MJ was white at the end of his life. Theres no denying that. Yet black people were extremely upset.

This. 10 years ago, you can be damn sure that a flag planting scene would be in there. Its a weird, calculated move by the left. Hating America brings in $$$ nowadays.

I gotta (can't believe I'm going to say this) agree with sho. Who cares. These people aren't real. The world is diverse. If people want to include minorities to play fictional characters in a movie or play, who gives a fock. Do you get upset when whites play roles that are non white?

 

Russel Crowe as Noah.

Johnny Depp as Tonto.

Joseph Fiennes played Michael Jackson.

Ben Affleck in Fargo.

 

etc etc.
