Ryan Gosling grimaces and grinds his teeth and suffers mostly silently as heroic Neil Armstrong in Oscar winner Damien Chazelles First Man, out Friday. The title is short for first man on the moon for those who werent around in 1969 when the dude took one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
Or, well, some of it. Fifty years later America doesnt do such an out-of-this-world job when it comes to racial inclusivity. First Man is a reminder of such inequality.

Don't be culturally appropriating the space program. Just a bunch of white nerds working together to put a man on the moon.
Ms. Adams, not everything is about race.
They should have cast Samuel L. Jackson as Werner Von Braun.
Won’t watch the movie.
Teeny tiny ideas from a teeny tiny writer.
Grow up, little man.
By the writing, it’s obvious that even now that fool wouldn’t be associated with NASA.
Except perhaps, working where folks with his small abilities would work.
In the HR department.
Why do you think it’s called a space race?
It is for racists.
Back in the days when the only thing they cared about was getting the very best people for the job. As opposed to now where the top priority is making sure they checked all the correct boxes on the affirmative action checklist and hire a politically correct number from all the “preferred” minority races, enough women, some LQBTQXYZ’s, some disabled people to make the ADA people happy and at least a handful of Muslims for “outreach”.
They couldnt even be bothered to find an American to play the part of Neil Armstrong so they used a Canadian? That and the suppression of the American flag is enough for me to pass on this film.
I demand they remake reality with Trayvon Martin starring as NeilJonTarius Armstrong. Let’s loot.
The moon landings...ALL OF THEM...were an AMERICAN achievement,not an achievement of "humankind".
Well for some reason, white men are just crazy, brave and intelligent enough to do all these things like sail the seas, invent the bicycle and then motor vehicle and invent and fly an airplane, improve that airplane until it can break the sound barrier, fly into space etc.
Orientals too but it seems their “crazy” is a bit misguided at times.
Didn’t she watch ‘Hidden Figures’?
That would be more to her liking.
90% fabricated BS.................
FU and the ‘evil white man’ narrative
Thelma Adams. You ignorant SJW jerk! Did you just miss the fact that this is about one of the greatest achievements in all of history? Your racist rant shows just what a lame brain you have.
