Title: Neil Armstrong "Progged" - New Film About Landing Omits American Flag From Moon Landing
Post by: cc on August 31, 2018, 11:46:31 AM
Achievement 'transcended countries and borders,' star Ryan Gosling says. (//http)



An upcoming biographical film about Neil Armstrong will not include the moment Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin planted the American flag on the moon.



"First Man," which premiered at the Venice Film Festival on Wednesday and is scheduled to hit theaters in October, chronicles Armstrong's life from 1961 to the Moon landing in 1969.



Hollywood star Ryan Gosling, who portrays Armstrong in the movie, told The Telegraph the flag was omitted from the moon landing because the achievement of humans walking on the moon "transcended countries and borders." [ Even though planting the flag was a major and public element of the landing and visible in most actual films and  photos ]

I dunno. I've always found flags offensive and petty but you're right about omission in this case. They're pulling down statues and historical facts plus the confederate flag and now the current US flag. Progs gonna prog.

in many ways it is a human achievement that transcended borders .  But changing and deliberately distorting historical facts is prog crapola again.



 this contempt for history as it happened and rewriting it to fit the leftist line is right out of Orwell's 1984 and the "ministry of truth."

the book 1984 was supposed to be a warning, progs seem to think its an instruction manual.

Its very good, a little dry at times.  there is also a movie, but it is not as good.  



Either way though the "ministry of truth" is an arm of the government that rewrites history to make the ruling class always look right. For instance a former war hero speaks out against the government, he is arrested and then all newspaper articles showing he was a war hero are then altered to make him look like he was a traitor all along.



there is also something called "newspeak" in which language is altered to help the rulers dominate the people.  this is very much like the language of political correctness.

Well, this is one film I will not be watching.  If it claims to be a biographical film, but cannot even get major events accurate, they can shove it!

Chuck Yeager weighs in on 'First Man' flap: (//https)

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,"

Anyone doing a picture about something that actually happened should consider it their ethical duty to make it as close to the truth as possible; only filling in things that are not known.  



Anything other than that is a lie, and in this case it's a deliberate,  propagandistic, manipulative  lie with an agenda.  I won't be seeing it.

ALL Hollywood bios are hyped up, over dramatised, distorted fairy tales.



In fact, ALL bios, period, are merely one persons perspective of another.



There must be money in writing books and making movies about Americans in particular, or they wouldn't do it. What bothers me is that MANY Americans take their knowledge of historical fact from these theatrical parodies. "I saw it in a movie...it must be true".



Prepare yourselves for movies about John McCain and Aretha Franklin hitting your cinemas soon, joining such luminaries as Abraham Lincoln, John Kennedy, George W Bush, Lyndon Johnson (seriously??) and a horde of other American characters that have been the subject of Hollywood fantasy.



Of course, America isn't the only country to rewrite their history through entertainment media. The UK has done the same with Winston Churchill, only recently. But no nation does it to the same extent...by a long way.

Somebody should parody this, put an angry muslim transgender midget on the moon planting an LGBT rainbow flag.  And NASA tells him/her/they "Sorry, but this is a one way trip, because we'd prefer you didn't come back to earth."
