The late Neil Armstrong’s 1969 trip to the moon may have been “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” but it was also a massive achievement for the United States.
One of Armstrong’s first orders of business was to proudly plant the American flag, after all.
But Ryan Gosling, the Canadian actor who plays Armstrong in “First Man,” Hollywood’s rendition of the moon landing, told the Telegraph the magic moment was intentionally omitted from the big screen because Armstrong’s achievement “transcended countries and borders.”

Ping.
I refuse to give my patriotic United States dollars to this movie.
Trump could make the trade deal contingent on adding a flag planting scene.
Armstrong’s achievement “transcended countries and borders.”....
You didn’t do that. The World did that. /S
“told the Telegraph the magic moment was intentionally omitted from the big screen because Armstrong’s achievement “transcended countries and borders.””
The little red hen comes to mind. Who baked the bread.
“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.”
400,000 Americans...
WHAT. HORSE. HOCKEY.
I am positive Ryan Gosling would fall into that category.

I doubt this is Goslings' own opinion.
I suspect this was the narrative of the screenwriter and director.
Transcends countries and borders??? THAT WAS ALL AMERICAN INGENUITY!! NO OTHER COUNTRY!! The single greatest achievement in the history of the World......but we don’t want to make any other countries feel bad about themselves, do we.....so Hollywood chooses to denigrate our hard work. APPALLING!
Lest we forget what those a******s desire to bury.
We never went to the moon.
One more film not to watch. Won’t get near it. I am extremely proud of what our country did at the same time that Teddy was killing Mary Jo. Keep it up Movie Industry!

I know a lady, 64 years old (but doesn’t look it) who has stars in her eyes wanted to be a movie star.
She’s in all the local plays, has done a couple of short, TV movies.
She spends her every waking moment chasing movie sets, producers, and other actors. Here in Georgia, there’s a lot of movie making now, and she runs herself broke trying to be in the “right place at the right time”. She just returned from a “casting call” in Knoxville, Tn.
My point is, it’s just an example of the lengths that people go to - young and old - to chase the movie star dream.
The IF they are ever lucky enough to get a part, and become a household name, they shoot themselves in the foot by making their wacky political views known to the world. Like this Gosling fellow - you don’t dis the American flag and expect a lot of patriots to attend your movie.
Even movies I used to like, and am now finding out how left and liberal the stars are, I can’t even watch them anymore.
Seems the producers, agents, and studios would offer them a little advice on running their mouths in public, as the bottom line affected is not only the actors’ bottom line, but all those who made it possible, including distributors and theatre chains.
Especially if the actor doing the dissing is a foreigner, a Canadian.
The last movie I saw in a theatre was “Top Gun”, back when it first came out, and only did that at the insistence of my son. Our birthdays are two days apart, and knowing I was in the Air Force and love airplanes, he wanted us to go and enjoy the movie together. So I did.
Sell fries at McDonalds;
Get and audition;
Get a part;
become well known;
run your mouth;
back at McDonalds.
Get woke go broke.
