b'Waiving the Flag\\n\\nNew Film About Neil Armstrong Omits American Flag From Moon Landing\\n\\nHollywood 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."\\n\\n\\u201cFirst Man\\u201d omits flag - rather than boycott, Stephen is going to Rocky-Horror-Picture-Show it.\\n\\n\\u201cI hear the film\\u2019s otherwise great, so I\\u2019m carrying my own flag I\\u2019ll wave at the appropriate moment.\\u201d\\n\\nDoes it matter whether they show the flag planting?\\n\\nWould they make a film about Yuri Gagarin and omit to mention the nationalistic importance of his mission?\\n\\nGagarin\\u2019s accomplishment belongs not to the Soviet Union but to all humanity.\\n\\nSame is true of Armstrong\\u2019s. The planners of the Apollo mission knew this and the plaque reads \\u201cWe came in peace for all mankind.\\u201d\\n\\nStill, it\\u2019s seems a likely reason for leaving the flag out of the Armstrong movie is to appeal to audiences who don\\u2019t care for the U. S.\\n\\nCritical question: Would Neil Armstrong go see this movie? Phil has the answer.\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0WT 476-794\\n\\nEternity Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) | Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0\\n\\nVideos and Images from Pixabay.com and other sources.'
