Neil Armstrong movie ‘First Man’ omits the American flag being planted on the moon, and star Ryan Gosling defended the decision

Gosling: “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.”

Note to Mr. Gosling. We don’t need your speculation on the matter. The record clearly shows Neal Armstrong felt about things. He planted the flag and he saluted the flag. You would do well to stick to the acting and leave the revisionist history to liberal academics.

  • Apparently there was NO American actor to play the part, so they hired a hoser from the great white north....

  • Thought for the Day:

    I’ve been sick and NEEDED a doctor.
    I’ve encountered trouble and NEEDED a police officer.
    I’ve lived through times of war, when our nation NEEDED our military.
    I have even NEEDED an auto mechanic, a plumber, a house painter and a lot of other every day people.

    But I have NEVER, not even once, NEEDED a pro athlete or Hollywood entertainer for ANYTHING.
