[Gay State Conservative]

I'll never see this film.The decision of the Producers/Directors/Writers to intentionally delete the American flag says "no way,Jose" to me.

The moon landings were not "human achievements"...they were AMERICAN achievements.

They didn’t delete it. It’s there. They just don’t have an explicit “planting the flag” scene.

Like you said Gay State Conservative, the issue was that they made a conscious decision not to show the American flag in an iconic moment in human history. Here was my comment on another thread. It starts with the quote from the director:

"...“I wanted the primary focus in that scene to be on Neil’s solitary moments on the moon. …This film is about one of the most extraordinary accomplishments not only in American history, but in human history,” Chazelle said..."

If anyone is arguing that they didn't deliberately omit it, they are wrong, because they did. They absolutely did, and they are proud of it.

There are a lot of people who may be fully into the concept that The Soviet Union, Red China, Nazi Germany, Uganda, India, Japan, Bangladesh, and the Ottoman Empire had as much to do with landing a man on the moon for the first time (Which is exactly what the POS director wants to convey) but I, and many others like you believe this was an effort that was American.

Americans paid billions of our hard earned dollars to make it happen. We had men die in the process because it was dangerous, and some (including Armstrong) who nearly died. It happened on American soil. Every single one of those men were American.

I do not take personal umbrage at those who accept the globalist viewpoint and philosophy of the director, but I do take issue with calling those of us who don't buy into that globalist-one-world viewpoint sold by the director of the movie and the main actor in it, virtue-signalers.

I do take issue with that attitude towards fellow conservatives who take issue with that deliberate omission.
