Yea wtf does this mean? So he would’ve been ok with them “accidentally” not filming a scene in a movie. I don’t think that happens.

Odd comment. You're right patriotism shouldn't be in moderation. It should be loud, brash and in your face all day every day. Everyone should sing the national anthem as soon as they wake up and before every meal and wear USA clothing every single day of the year. Any time an American goes anywhere they should stick a USA flag in the ground and film it to show on twitter, Facebook and instagram. They should also get triggered by all "libtards" and post rants on all social media outlets at all times of the day while having Faux News turned on 24/7.

I’m planning on seeing the movie. For those complaining because the planting of the flag is left out, it might do you some good to reflect on the words of the President of the Ivory Coast who along with the heads of 72 other countries was allowed to put an inscription on a small disc left on the moon by Apollo 11. His writing was cited in the book as one of Neil’s favorites:

“At the moment when man’s oldest dream is becoming a reality, I am very thankful for NASA’s kind attention in offering me the services of the first human messenger to set foot on the Moon and carry the words of the Ivory Coast.
I would hope that when this passenger from the sky leaves man’s imprint on lunar soil, he will feel how proud we are to belong to the generation which has accomplished this feat.
I hope also that he would tell the Moon how beautiful it is when it illuminates the nights of the Ivory Coast.
I especially wish that he would turn towards our planet Earth and cry out how insignificant the problems which torture men are, when viewed from up there.
May his word, descending from the sky, find in the Cosmos the force and light which will permit him to convince humanity of the beauty of progress in brotherhood and peace.”

that guy is wrong. its so much more significant that it was america and not merely mankind that accomplished this. we should always rub the nose of the world in the fact that we are better. otherwise how will we feel good about ourselves? accomplishment doesnt mean anything if you cannot emphasize that someone else didnt accomplish it *****

I don't remember what show it was on but I saw Ryan Gosling getting interviewed about this several weeks before it was released and he stated they intentionally didn't film the flag planting part as they wanted it shown as a human achievement.

Spoiler to answer a question contained below...

Wait the flag is in the movie, they just didn’t show it getting planted? Lol there are some huge entitled pussies in this thread.

Neil Armstrong's daughter died when she was 2. This is a very recurring part of the movie throughout. When they land on the moon there is a scene, from a distance, of Neil reflecting. You see him, the LEM and the flag. It was an awesome shot. Basically when he lands, the movie shows him, not as a hero, but as a father who is reflecting on his lost daughter. There is another scene on the moon that validates this, but I will leave out for the ones that haven't seen it. Bottom line, I was bowed up when the movie started because I was pissed when I heard the flag planting scene was left out. However, I kept seeing the US flag throughout the movie, and was surprised. The bitching about it being left out got my blood boiling, but when I saw the movie, I was wondering why I even got worked up. I would recommend everyone seeing the movie and then forming their opinion.

Moral of the story: Anytime you see big meltdowns on social media, whether the melters are liberal, conservative, black, white, old, young, whatever ... be skeptical. It's probably something that's exaggerated, taken out of context, or just straight up not true.

Being patriotic doesn't make one a snowflake. I am patriotic at times as well. I love USA. It's my home and all I've ever known. That doesn't mean I should forget the golden rule of "treat thy neighbor as you'd treat yourself". The transformation into snowflake happens when someone wants to destroy a movie or have it fail because they didn't include a scene of the USA flag being planted in the surface.

Imagine that. A liberal who is an expert on the evolution of a snowflake.

There is a video of Gosling’s interview too.

It has been implied from multiple sources it was left out intentionally.

Regardless, it’s a very integral part of a historic moment.

Sounds like an excellent opportunity for Mark Wahlberg to make another movie.

Yet the Soviets were the only ones that could put a lander on the surface of Venus.

First you have to believe the Soviet second the atmosphere is useless. It was a waste of time for the Soviet if they did it.
