The upcoming Neil Armstrong biopic "First Man," from "Whiplash" and "La La Land" director Damien Chazelle, premiered at the Venice Film Festival on Wednesday to rave reviews and early Oscar buzz. But the movie doesn't include a key scene in Armstrong's mission to the moon and an integral moment in American history.
The movie omits the moment of the American flag being planted on the moon (though the flag is present in the film), and the movie's star Ryan Gosling, who plays Armstrong, defended the decision when asked about it at Venice (via The Telegraph).
Gosling, who is Canadian, argued that the first voyage to the moon was a "human achievement" that didn't just represent an American accomplishment, and that's how Armstrong viewed it.
"I think this was widely regarded in the end as a human achievement [and] that's how we chose to view it," Gosling. "I also think 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."

WOW. Anyone who sees this movie is a FREAKING LOWLIFE communist. It was about AMERICA. We were fighting against the world to be first on the moon. You know AMERICA FIRST?? GOSLING IS A DOUCHEBAG. But he's Canadian so what did you expect??
What's next? Credit Iran for Hubble?
I won't attend.
A Stanley Kubrick Production???
We never went to the moon. Stanley Kubrick lent his sets from 2001 to borrow those lenses to make Barry Lyndon .
It's ALL part of the Hollywood SOROS Game.
Using the words “Star” or “actor” when referencing Gosling is a stretch. No talent. Period.
If u don't see what Dems and Soros are doing ur Stupid .....
They are Wiping out American histor for I S l a m.
LOL
You guys still believe in Santa Claus?
Apollo 11 was a Psyop on the American Public and most other governments (and all physicists) knew (know) that it was impossible for humans to traverse the radiation belt. Van Allen first reported so widely, but then was pressured to change his writing to reflect the possibility of humans traveling through the radiation belt. Preposterous.
They have removed the flag because the Knealers would get sticky knees from the theater floor.
Stay away from the movie Hope it loses millions of dollars. Bunch of freaking idiots, you cannot change history, no matter how hard you try.
I'm surprised he didn't replace the American flag with the rainbow one...
It was ABSOLUTELY an AMERICAN accomplishment.
Sweden didn't do it. Norway didn't do it. Kenya didn't do it.
Canada sure as hell didn't do it.
Only him and obama think muslims from the middle east made their great contribution, too.
More BS from people who don't even know who won WWII.
In their own world, they believe they are brilliant, with all the answers.
If we would only start seeing that the sky is green.....
Keep cheering.
First credit goes to the U.S. TAXPAYER. JUST another attempt to change history and dishonor the American Flag like they did the confederate flag.
More Hollywood bullshi-. Bunch of self entitled morons. Legends in their own mind.
