Leave a commentOk, what am I missing? I heard Michael review the film on KTTH and it was suggested that the producers left out the American flag. Now he says it's 'fake news!' What's up?
I really wanted to judge for myself the flag criticism and as a huge fan of "The Right Stuff", I desperately wanted to see a good movie about this aspect of America's space program. I will admit that the flag issue was probably a little over-sold by conservative voices, however that doesn't mean the movie was good. The special effect sequences ARE incredible, and the movie IS filled with nicely executed (albeit) isolated scenes, but as a whole it ultimately only managed to completely suck the life out of the colossal achievement that the Apollo program represented. It simply left me feeling flat and uninspired. The REAL scandal, if any, isn't about omitting the flag planting on the moon, rather it was about depicting Neil Armstrong as a civilian test pilot, as opposed to a Naval pilot and Korean War veteran. You really do have to question the intent of the film makers, when they feel the need to revise that kind of history.
Rod,
Great points! When has Hollywood, Dept. of Education and the Democratic Party NOT been about revisionist history! My wife and I gave up paying money to Hollywood when Obama made scene by over 90% (we paid for Darest Hour 3 times). I despise the curriculum of corruption the Dept. of Ed punishes my grandkids minds with the end-of-world revisionist historical and hysterical crap of global climate change, go to jail if you don’t recycle and of course more money for a smoke-free America except weed and hard drugs are good for you.
The Bigfoot Hunter is such a tool. Fool.
