Neil Armstrong Movie Starring Canadian Ryan Gosling Doesn’t Feature American Flag
« on: August 31, 2018, 09:06:08 pm »
A new movie starring Canadian actor Ryan Gosling tells of the story of Neil Armstrong landing on the moon–but omits the American flag.

The Telegraph reports that the flag is not shown in the new movie First Man, with star Ryan Gosling saying that the American moon landing “transcended countries and borders,” and that instead of being an American achievement, it was a “human achievement.”
The Canadian actor also acknowledged his own “cognitive bias” due to his nationality.

Love that cognitive bias.  How much money did Canada contribute to our space program?

What? Don't you remember when Alan Shepard took that hockey puck slap shot on the surface of the moon?

It is outrageous and typical of Hollywood lately that they would have the colossal nerve to make a movie like this.  I hope it bombs.

Globalists are trying to obscure the meaning of this solely American triumph in space exploration. Globalists would rather credit humanity for the moon landing. How very magnanimous of them.

But, exploration of the moon is a story of American guts and ingenuity. It were Americans that risked it all and it were American tax dollars that sent six missions up and put 12 American astronauts on the moon and brought them safely back to earth.

Chuck Yeager weighs in on 'First Man' flap: 'That's not the Neil Armstrong I knew'

 By Douglas Ernst - The Washington Times - Friday, August 31, 2018

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 — a World War II ace and the first pilot to break the speed of sound  — replied.

I thought about seeing the movie, when this came out. Nope.

Is that a human flag patch I see on Armstrong's left shoulder?

The Soviet news didn't show the American flag part of the moon landing either.

The Canadians suffer from a serious inferiority complex. That's why they built the Canadian National Tower. Started the CFl.   The whole country is full of hosers.

Wasn't 'Blame Canada' an Oscar nominated song?
