@@starsrhigh So true. I'd have no problem supporting my wife in researching the moon but if she were to be sent there, the possible consequences would be very difficult to accept.
The movie was absolutely fantastic. I was so surprised at how deeply they brought me into the story of Neil Armstrong the human being. I expected it to the the usual one dimensional American hero type fare. It's so much more!
@@francisjtuk I was moving when I watched this moving movie, which in turn moved me in a moving way, while I was moving, while watching a moving movie.
@G.Gorrell So I'm the Moron because I don't believe in giving boatloads of cash to science trolls that say we can't recreate technology from 50 yrs. Ago? You are precious cupcake. I got magic beans for sale too, lol.
@G.Gorrell TRIGGERED Nasa defender ALERT. You keep drinking that kool aid pal, while more & more younger ppl call b.s. on old lies. They need to get to the moon again w/ definitive proof before anyone takes these deflectors seriousely, lol! FUN FACT: It'll never happen!
@G.Gorrell Just Google it. Common sense will tell ya the truth. How about you explain why we haven't gone back since the 70's nor have the technology anymore to do if smart guy. First Man was an interesting fantasy film. Call me when they start giving civilian flights past the thermosphere. Then we'll talk☺
I was 22 at that time and so thankful that it happened in my lifetime. Armstrong belongs to the world because he took that first step and as such it is easy to forget he was a man with a family. Nice to hear his sons speak about him.
Based on the trailers that I have seen, Ryan Gosling nailed the performance better than anyone could have expected. An award winning performance, for sure. But, I must say. It is rare when the actual, real life man, is more epic than Hollywood's portrayal of him. In this case, the real Neil Armstrong, was more epic. I was 11 year old when Armstrong landed on the moon, but, I knew who he was before, and after the landing, and he was more epic before and after, then anyone I have ever seen. One of the few greatest men of all time.
He absolutely was. I was also 11 when the Eagle landed and I was glued to the TV from launch to splashdown. Growing up near Houston, I was enthralled by the early astronauts and what they accomplished. Neil Armstrong was indeed one of the greatest of all time.
I was 11 too. I was watching from Lima, Ohio with my entire family! I don't think any of us breathed until the Eagle landed. And that first step on the moon, made me proud to be an Ohioan and an AMERICAN!
I was at our camp at lake sacandaga in upstate NY ten years old and remember all of us sitting around the black and white TV still in our swim trunks watching Neil set foot on the moon, great memory.
Looking forward to seeing FIRST MAN---I grew up near Edwards AFB, where Neil Armstrong flew as a test pilot. (In fact he ushered at the Methodist church which i attended occasionally as a kid---i remember him only vaguely, and then as a quiet, polite, undemonstrative presence). Fascinating to hear his sons discuss the film...!
I'm really looking forward to seeing this, and I say that as someone who stopped going to the movies several years ago. There is a mindset in society these days that results in space travel being taken for granted. Even at the time of the Apollo missions, public interest waned after the first landing. But when you stop for a second and think about what these people did, it's a staggering human achievement. One of the reasons I love NASA is that it is a living example of our species at its best. It's the embodiment of human curiosity and endeavour, writ large.
As a proud Brit I concede to the fact there has been no greater achievement in the history of mankind, certainly in regards to the extremely optimal use of available technology and teamwork, than the Moon Shot. Hoax believer's brains are simply to dim to fully appreciate such a feat and write it off as impossible, thus their only other explanation is a hoax. Such ignorance of science I find staggering and deeply disturbing.
I absolutely loved this movie! It put a perspective on the whole moon missions that I'd never considered. At times you feel the stress & weight that the astronauts are feeling (At least What I think they were feeling. Can't say enough good things about this movie.
I watched First Man last week, and from what I knew I saw many things were spot-on, beside absolutely stunning visuals. Beautiful movie about the man, not the mission.
I have seen the movie - one screw-up of epic proportions - if everything is about the landing, such a culmination point in this movie - make it reasonably real, do not fly over a cartoonish terrain. The last 2 miles before landing in real Apollo 11 had nothing to do with what they showed in this movie.
The technical aspects of the movie were very good. I felt the music score was rather ominous, however, that’s simply a personal preference. I felt Neil’s interaction with family and colleagues was aloof and distant. This may be a similar characteristic with many astronauts at the time. Many of the astronaut wives called their husbands and colleagues one lobbers, meaning they were so focused on the mission and their careers that often the world around them was shut out.
Just watched it today. Interesting that they were so positive about it, because the movie shows a troubled marriage and a father who just couldn't really communicate with his boys. Was wondering how accurate that was, but I guess Ryan nailed it.
Elliot See: "I barely lasted 2 minutes in that ice bath. Of course, I suppose NASA's more interested in the psychological reaction..." Armstrong: "Well....I think I made it pretty clear that I thought it was cold..." That cracked me up.
"Dad was really a kind of funny guy....a dry wit", so said the son on the left in the video. There are many, many photos and videos of Neil Armstrong grinning broadly and laughing out loud, so the son certainly knows what he is talking about. But, then how come, if Ryan Gosling gave such a spot on performance, did we see Neil portrayed by Gosling as having no sense of humor at all. Only a few scenes of Gosling smiling and certainly none of him laughing out loud. I think that is just Gosling doing his own personal style of acting. Staring, stoic, and intense, almost wholly devoid of personality, just as he is in almost all of his movies. Otherwise, yes, it is one heck of a movie. The technical achievement in sound and effects during the lift offs in the two launch scenes really set the bar higher for astronaut movies to come. But you gotta' watch FIRST MAN in HD and full surround sound to get the full effects. If you are the kind of person who watches movies on your ipad or iphone, you are screwing yourself out of one awesome flick.
Michael Schuyler I'm a producer shooter and to me it looks as if it's green screened background by the look of the odd / improbable focal length behind each shot and the wind effect seems extremely constant and the audio sounds reverby as if they are in a poor sound quality space. not outside. in fact there's no "nat" sound of the outside. but I could be wrong.
Michael Schuyler yeah looking at it again it's def green screened and made to appear they are on the NASA location....which is fine. just seemed weird to my eye.
Cringed a little bit at his awkward opener about how the two brothers look like brothers. But I have to admit I too would have been somewhat unnerved having to interview two (-_- ) emoticons.
I still think Ryan's face is too elongated in comparison to Neil's to allow me to easily suspend reality, but I'll endeavor to do it, and I hope his acting performance will be enough to bridge the gap.
I stopped the vid at 25 seconds when he said that Armstrong was 'an effin hero'. I was already over it by the time he said that 'he didn't wear a cape'. What a ridiculous and unprofessional kidult that interviewer is! I stopped before he made me vomit.
Sorry but I did not like it....it spent very little time on each of the historical events and it spent more time in Gemini 8 and not hardly any time on the moon landing and walk. One glaring error also was Neil Armstrong was wearing a big Hasselblad camera on the front of his spacesuit during the moonwalk, and in the movie this was absent.
there are numerous screw-ups in this movie, unnecessary exaggerations, rotation speed when they connected with Agena was 1 revolution per second, in this movie they rotate like 5 times/sec, another screw-up of epic proportions - if everything is about the landing, such a there culmination point in this movie - make it reasonably real, do not fly over a cartoonish terrain. The last 2 miles before the landing in real Apollo 11 had nothing to do with what they showed in this movie., the West Crater in the movie looks like a Grand Canyon with steep walls, cliffs, nothing like that exists on the Moon, once they landed - the landscape was done very realistic but why they had to screw it up during the final approach?
@G.Gorrell So how much is Nasa( taxpayers i.e. me) paying you to push this agenda of "Space Travel"?! Sorry pal, but we have never been to the moon, or outside the planet. Just gotta keep the lie going or watch EVERYTHING Nasa/ other countries crumble under the castle of untruths & fallacies!
@G.Gorrell Hey man I like your enthusiasm for science fiction, I really do. But us adults here on EARTH have reality to worry about. You know provable real things like climate change and voting out conmen. Have a nice day on Mars Lil Buddy😉🇺🇸👍
@G.Gorrell For a supposed LEARNED man, your reading comprehension skills are a bit lacking. I NEVER said climate change was science fiction. Try again... Or buh bye!
@G.Gorrell I don't have time to play fantasy. Like I said before, until we start giving civilians rides out of orbit & doing moon colonization. Their will ALWAYS be doubt for non Nasa personnel. Sorry, but we could Photoshop things back in the 60's! You ever heard of lying governments? They did & still do. No conspiracy theories. Provable all throughout history. Why was Kennedy shot? Raises doubt I would say. So unless I can see for myself in person. I don't buy anything this gov't tells me at face value. Because our current one is compulsive af. Go out & vote, stop pushing science that only a small portion of the country can dispute... Or your always welcome to become an ASTRO-NOT & make a home video to shut me down!? But I won't be holding my breath.👍 #WagTheDog🕵️♂️🇺🇸
Google that, the director explained why they didn't show the flag raising. For one, it took them close to an hour to get the telescoping part to come out to hang the flag on. Otherwise it would have hung limp (no air). It was more hassle than a great moment for them. And the movie was about the man, not the mission.
I thought it was because the movie wanted to primarily focus on the complexity of Armstrong as an individual- the long term personal impact of his grief and resulting emotional containment - rather than the American goal of beating the Russians to the moon and the whole national security dimension of the Space program. One of the long shots on the surface of the moon did show the flag was up so clearly it had been done. So I guess the focus was less about the mission and more about who was this man selected to carry out the greatest technology feat in history and what was his personality that could bear the weight of the post mission responsibility. But I understand- when the press about the movie first came out and we learned the flag raising ceremony wasn’t included, I was also disappointed in that but then I came to consider that it was more of a biographical snapshot of Armstrong the man. I was a big follower of the space program - I was 14 years old when this took place and I cared a lot about it. I also thought they didn’t show more of his sense of humor. There are film clips of his touring Vietnam with Bob Hope’s USO shows where he is very funny. For example, two female soldiers asked him about women in the space program and he opened his arms wide saying, “I welcome them with open arms.” The funniest clip was when a soldier asked him how much he was paid for going to the moon. Oh my. He went through this lengthy explanation about having government housing (the spacecraft), free food and on and on. So he ended up earning some ridiculous amount like $14 or something. But the way he went through it was comical. And later when pilot Chester Sullenberger safely glided the United flight into the Hudson River, Armstrong was the speaker at a ceremony at Indiana University and welcomed him into the Society of Aviators who land in Strange Places. Anyway, I felt that dimension could have had just a bit more of that side of him but I guess it would have reduced the emphasis of his daughter’s death.
@@memphisflashfan1 liberal hollywood is always the same old story. emphasize the bad things the US does and downplay the good things that the US does. Since the moon landing was soley an American accomplishment, lets downplay that the US accomplished this historic meaningful feat. Neil Armstrong was an American and a white male too boot so lets deemphasize moon landing as an American accomplishment by not including hardly any shots of the American flag on the moon.
You know you are just an ever average joe when you realize that have have so little in common (sadly) with such an exemplary man as Armstrong. Awesome film but that is as close to any success that I will ever see.
I couldn’t concentrate with such terrible quality. Terrible audio quality, you think they’re in NASA, but you can hear the room echo. Bad lighting and the green screen is horrible.
It's cool to hear Armstrong's children speak a bit about their lives, and the movie. Having said that, the movie was a terrible disappointment. It's TERRIBLE storytelling to start with - mostly a stringing together of vignettes that do little more than establish, and reestablish, and confirm, and reconfirm, that Neil Armstrong was taciturn - and could be a bit challenging to have as a spouse/husband as a result. There was VERY little exploration of the complexities of Armstrong's personality, the relationships that were important in his life - they are ALL dealt with in an exceptionally superficial manner - all in the shadow of Gosling's overindulgent scenes establishing just how detached Armstrong could be. This include his wife, his children, Ed White, Elliott See, Buzz Aldrin, etc. The humor the sons speak of? I can remember one line in the film depicting quasi humor (challenging a Buzz Aldrin "no filter" observation regarding deceased fellow astronauts). No, wait - there was another, where he tells his son to stand in the corner and he and his wife enjoy the humor in the situation - I wanted a LOT more scenes like this establishing depth of character along with scenes showing just how exceptionally highly regarded he was as a pilot and engineer throughout his career. Didn't happen. They did build some scenes in that showed some of the political and human challenges encountered in the rush to put a man on the moon - but they didn't come together to tell the story in the way the directors and writers did with Apollo 13 or The Right Stuff, or nearly every other film about the early US space program. Even the action scenes are rather poorly executed, jumbles of images crashing around/across the screen with liberal doses of crash zooms and other effects. Even the shots of the moon's surface that were so agonizingly lavished over in terms of time on screen were distorted & disappointingly fake. The scenes shown in Apollo 13 - more than a decade ago - were far more realistic appearing - and the action sequences in that and other movies were significantly more convincingly rendered. Some cast members seem to have been chosen with little regard to their appearance. Gus Grissom, Deke Slayton, and Buzz Aldrin were played by Shea Whigham (50), Jason Clark (50), Kyle Chandler (53), and Corey Stall (42). The astronauts they played were all at least 10 years younger - and exceptionally fit. Only Clark looked anything like the character he played, both in terms of features and general fitness/age levels. Further, Corey Stall's depiction of Buzz Aldrin - which suffered mostly by being so brief - was so far from the engineering wunderkind/pilot that he was and served mostly as a foil to Armstrong - was very disappointing. All of these actors are outstanding - but save for Clark were all miscast. Finally, the music scoring a good portion of the film was bizarre - never lyrical, never lilting, never really majestic, but oddly synthetic and displeasing. What a great subject for a film. And what a sad endeavor this particular attempt to tell the story proved to be.
I’m sorry, but the portrayal of Neil...and pretty much everyone else...was miserable. They didn’t seem like real people cuz the only emotions anyone expresses is sadness or anger or grim determination. It’s so grim it strips the characters of any true humanity for the sake of keeping that tone through the movie. It sucked. The flight and space sequences were f’in amazing and terrifying especially in imax... but they missed the mark with the tone and the character portrayal. Made me wanna watch Apollo 13. I’m sure Neil was a stoic dude in real life, but even his sons said he joked around. I don’t remember a single joke or any sense of humor. And his sons right there say it was an important part of who he was. Well where the heck was that in the movie????
The consistent tone hurt the movie in my opinion too. Cuz when the really grim things happen, you don’t really feel it cuz the whole movie feels that way.
Aw, you forget that they were all test pilots, and were conditioned not to get all excited when something happened. They were trained to keep their emotions under control, and someone like Neil was already in that mindset. When something happened he just moved on to the next job as you can see in this overview of how he cheated death numerous times as a pilot and astronaut. th-cam.com/video/N5puOcOAJRM/w-d-xo.html
Me? or the OP? Here he is on the Bob Hope show. th-cam.com/video/qSKCaxx58Bg/w-d-xo.html While Armstrong was certainly a private man, he was unfairly described as reclusive or even a hermit. This clip shows he had some pretty good comic timing.
That is a really terrible interviewer. No vocabulary at all, stuttering, doesn't know the subject matter - and why are his fingernails black? Is he wearing a Hallowe'en costume? Terrible.
Hollywood did not plant the flag ... I did not go see the movie. Pretty simple for lots of Americans ... we are sick of Hollywood's hatred for America :)
You don't like America, you like symbols.... there's a big difference. From Scotland, I saw this film and I saw NASA, American astronauts, JFK..... "UNITED STATES" on the side of the fucking Saturn V. I saw the American flag on the fucking moon. Nobody can deny it's FUCKING AMERICA so go and unknot your tiny quivering knickers because you didn't see a FLAG moment. Jesus.... fascism awaits people like you. You're an idiot.
If you even paid just a LITTLE attention, the flag IS in the movie. They just didn't show him putting it into the ground. So why is it SO IMPORTANT for you to actually SEE him put it into the ground? The flag is there. Why can't you be happy with that?
in real life, it blew down as soon as they took off, and that was not shown in the film either. Not showing the planting in the film is such a silly thing to focus on. The current NASA administrator just said last month, "We are not going to the moon to plant flags"... that was such a minor part of the amazing accomplishment .

I'd asked the oldest son if that scene where he was ranting about all his crayons scattered on the floor to his mother really happened.
I got the impression from the film he was a little awkward at times or perhaps that was just Ryan's take on him.(??)
I've read that Neil Armstrong was quite withdrawn and quiet, very down to business.
Neil was grinning most of the time. That's something they didn't show in the movie.
Now we know how they filmed it first time round.

@G.Gorrell So how much is Nasa( taxpayers i.e. me) paying you to push this agenda of "Space Travel"?! Sorry pal, but we have never been to the moon, or outside the planet. Just gotta keep the lie going or watch EVERYTHING Nasa/ other countries crumble under the castle of untruths & fallacies!
@G.Gorrell Hey man I like your enthusiasm for science fiction, I really do. But us adults here on EARTH have reality to worry about. You know provable real things like climate change and voting out conmen. Have a nice day on Mars Lil Buddy😉🇺🇸👍
@G.Gorrell For a supposed LEARNED man, your reading comprehension skills are a bit lacking. I NEVER said climate change was science fiction. Try again...
Or buh bye!
@G.Gorrell I don't have time to play fantasy. Like I said before, until we start giving civilians rides out of orbit & doing moon colonization. Their will ALWAYS be doubt for non Nasa personnel. Sorry, but we could Photoshop things back in the 60's! You ever heard of lying governments? They did & still do. No conspiracy theories. Provable all throughout history.
Why was Kennedy shot? Raises doubt I would say. So unless I can see for myself in person. I don't buy anything this gov't tells me at face value. Because our current one is compulsive af. Go out & vote, stop pushing science that only a small portion of the country can dispute... Or your always welcome to become an ASTRO-NOT & make a home video to shut me down!? But I won't be holding my breath.👍

how can they defend a mov8e tgat is about tye moon landing and doesnt include raising the flag which is a historical fact?
Google that, the director explained why they didn't show the flag raising. For one, it took them close to an hour to get the telescoping part to come out to hang the flag on. Otherwise it would have hung limp (no air). It was more hassle than a great moment for them. And the movie was about the man, not the mission.
and yet the Man, Neil armstrong,the man, took the time to raise the American flag on the moon.
I thought it was because the movie wanted to primarily focus on the complexity of Armstrong as an individual- the long term personal impact of his grief and resulting emotional containment - rather than the American goal of beating the Russians to the moon and the whole national security dimension of the Space program. One of the long shots on the surface of the moon did show the flag was up so clearly it had been done. So I guess the focus was less about the mission and more about who was this man selected to carry out the greatest technology feat in history and what was his personality that could bear the weight of the post mission responsibility. But I understand- when the press about the movie first came out and we learned the flag raising ceremony wasn’t included, I was also disappointed in that but then I came to consider that it was more of a biographical snapshot of Armstrong the man. I was a big follower of the space program - I was 14 years old when this took place and I cared a lot about it. I also thought they didn’t show more of his sense of humor. There are film clips of his touring Vietnam with Bob Hope’s USO shows where he is very funny. For example, two female soldiers asked him about women in the space program and he opened his arms wide saying, “I welcome them with open arms.” The funniest clip was when a soldier asked him how much he was paid for going to the moon. Oh my. He went through this lengthy explanation about having government housing (the spacecraft), free food and on and on. So he ended up earning some ridiculous amount like $14 or something. But the way he went through it was comical. And later when pilot Chester Sullenberger safely glided the United flight into the Hudson River, Armstrong was the speaker at a ceremony at Indiana University and welcomed him into the Society of Aviators who land in Strange Places. Anyway, I felt that dimension could have had just a bit more of that side of him but I guess it would have reduced the emphasis of his daughter’s death.
@@memphisflashfan1 liberal hollywood is always the same old story. emphasize the bad things the US does and downplay the good things that the US does. Since the moon landing was soley an American accomplishment, lets downplay that the US accomplished this historic meaningful feat. Neil Armstrong was an American and a white male too boot so lets deemphasize moon landing as an American accomplishment by not including hardly any shots of the American flag on the moon.
"One small ste for man one giant liep for mankind"
You know you are just an ever average joe when you realize that have have so little in common (sadly) with such an exemplary man as Armstrong. Awesome film but that is as close to any success that I will ever see.
I couldn’t concentrate with such terrible quality. Terrible audio quality, you think they’re in NASA, but you can hear the room echo. Bad lighting and the green screen is horrible.
Nice black nails. Does collider have standards
Didn't even notice until you mentioned it, and still not sure how that matters at all?
Why is he a hero?
@G.Gorrell hahaha good
It's cool to hear Armstrong's children speak a bit about their lives, and the movie. Having said that, the movie was a terrible disappointment. It's TERRIBLE storytelling to start with - mostly a stringing together of vignettes that do little more than establish, and reestablish, and confirm, and reconfirm, that Neil Armstrong was taciturn - and could be a bit challenging to have as a spouse/husband as a result. There was VERY little exploration of the complexities of Armstrong's personality, the relationships that were important in his life - they are ALL dealt with in an exceptionally superficial manner - all in the shadow of Gosling's overindulgent scenes establishing just how detached Armstrong could be. This include his wife, his children, Ed White, Elliott See, Buzz Aldrin, etc. The humor the sons speak of? I can remember one line in the film depicting quasi humor (challenging a Buzz Aldrin "no filter" observation regarding deceased fellow astronauts). No, wait - there was another, where he tells his son to stand in the corner and he and his wife enjoy the humor in the situation - I wanted a LOT more scenes like this establishing depth of character along with scenes showing just how exceptionally highly regarded he was as a pilot and engineer throughout his career. Didn't happen. They did build some scenes in that showed some of the political and human challenges encountered in the rush to put a man on the moon - but they didn't come together to tell the story in the way the directors and writers did with Apollo 13 or The Right Stuff, or nearly every other film about the early US space program.
Even the action scenes are rather poorly executed, jumbles of images crashing around/across the screen with liberal doses of crash zooms and other effects. Even the shots of the moon's surface that were so agonizingly lavished over in terms of time on screen were distorted & disappointingly fake. The scenes shown in Apollo 13 - more than a decade ago - were far more realistic appearing - and the action sequences in that and other movies were significantly more convincingly rendered.
Some cast members seem to have been chosen with little regard to their appearance. Gus Grissom, Deke Slayton, and Buzz Aldrin were played by Shea Whigham (50), Jason Clark (50), Kyle Chandler (53), and Corey Stall (42). The astronauts they played were all at least 10 years younger - and exceptionally fit. Only Clark looked anything like the character he played, both in terms of features and general fitness/age levels. Further, Corey Stall's depiction of Buzz Aldrin - which suffered mostly by being so brief - was so far from the engineering wunderkind/pilot that he was and served mostly as a foil to Armstrong - was very disappointing. All of these actors are outstanding - but save for Clark were all miscast.
Finally, the music scoring a good portion of the film was bizarre - never lyrical, never lilting, never really majestic, but oddly synthetic and displeasing.
What a great subject for a film. And what a sad endeavor this particular attempt to tell the story proved to be.
I’m sorry, but the portrayal of Neil...and pretty much everyone else...was miserable. They didn’t seem like real people cuz the only emotions anyone expresses is sadness or anger or grim determination. It’s so grim it strips the characters of any true humanity for the sake of keeping that tone through the movie. It sucked. The flight and space sequences were f’in amazing and terrifying especially in imax... but they missed the mark with the tone and the character portrayal. Made me wanna watch Apollo 13.
I’m sure Neil was a stoic dude in real life, but even his sons said he joked around. I don’t remember a single joke or any sense of humor. And his sons right there say it was an important part of who he was. Well where the heck was that in the movie????
The consistent tone hurt the movie in my opinion too. Cuz when the really grim things happen, you don’t really feel it cuz the whole movie feels that way.
you are gonna argue with his sons about how he reacted?
Aw, you forget that they were all test pilots, and were conditioned not to get all excited when something happened. They were trained to keep their emotions under control, and someone like Neil was already in that mindset. When something happened he just moved on to the next job as you can see in this overview of how he cheated death numerous times as a pilot and astronaut. th-cam.com/video/N5puOcOAJRM/w-d-xo.html
Sounds like you missed all the scenes where he did joke and play around.
Me? or the OP? Here he is on the Bob Hope show. th-cam.com/video/qSKCaxx58Bg/w-d-xo.html
While Armstrong was certainly a private man, he was unfairly described as reclusive or even a hermit. This clip shows he had some pretty good comic timing.
That is a really terrible interviewer. No vocabulary at all, stuttering, doesn't know the subject matter - and why are his fingernails black? Is he wearing a Hallowe'en costume? Terrible.
Hollywood did not plant the flag ... I did not go see the movie. Pretty simple for lots of Americans ... we are sick of Hollywood's hatred for America :)
You don't like America, you like symbols.... there's a big difference. From Scotland, I saw this film and I saw NASA, American astronauts, JFK..... "UNITED STATES" on the side of the fucking Saturn V. I saw the American flag on the fucking moon.
Nobody can deny it's FUCKING AMERICA so go and unknot your tiny quivering knickers because you didn't see a FLAG moment. Jesus.... fascism awaits people like you.
You're an idiot.
It didn’t do well at the box office because people know it’s not really a true story.
Nothing like listening to "Whitey On the Moon" as Canadian Gosling pouts his way to the moon.
Did not and will not watch this movie there’s a reason why it bombed at the box office
the remake of STANLEY KUBRICK's moon landing masterpiece, bombed!
shut up and go away
@@5milingAssassin indeed it did. FREEMASON tanked!
@lada zibarova fool
I presume the film is a Sci Fi.
You mean "assume."
+Steve Williams Thanks, but I know what I mean.
Skyhigh Photography If you mean that you're an idiot, then you pretty much nailed it.
+Ni999 Let me spell it out for you. Man has not been to the moon and you can't handle the fact that we've been lied to.
Skyhigh Photography Right. You just spelled out that you're an idiot - again. Do you stomp one of your feet when you do that?
I don't think it's a good movie...Wrong actor, wrong director and wrong score for that movie...
thank you for your expert opinion
Andy Iverson You're Welcome
These two men are the sons of the first man to not land on the Moon. Neil Armstrong was Islamic.
Fool.
You need to go get your wool clipped off.
W Zen You need 20 more IQ points to be promoted to idiot.
You have the stench of Jew on you.
Hmmm the stench of tolerance and equality how awful?
0/10 no American flag my man
If you even paid just a LITTLE attention, the flag IS in the movie. They just didn't show him putting it into the ground. So why is it SO IMPORTANT for you to actually SEE him put it into the ground? The flag is there. Why can't you be happy with that?
-10/10 for you my false flag fake news friend Kenny Ken Kenny North by NorthWest Ken
in real life, it blew down as soon as they took off, and that was not shown in the film either. Not showing the planting in the film is such a silly thing to focus on. The current NASA administrator just said last month, "We are not going to the moon to plant flags"... that was such a minor part of the amazing accomplishment .
I think landing on the moon transcends a flag...
'....for all mankind'
Yeah cause that's all the movies' about? American Patriotism? Give me a break
