So the newest conservative controversy revolves around the Neil Armstrong biopic "First Man" by Damien Chazell. A film no one would give a shit about beyond a horrendous unspeakable choice made by the director. The harrowing moment? Not showing the American flag being planted. This is of course censorship.

Exactly the same as a book burning

A deeply sickening insult to all Americans

An attempt by the liberal elite to erase history

An assault on the very foundation of patriotism

Oh and it turns out the film does include the flag on the moon.

The AV Club's phrasing in their article on this was very amusing, all about the penetrative steel being thrust into the soft, yielding moonscape and such.

Has PJW done a video on it yet? I don't know because I'd rather get an erection and bellyflop onto bare concrete so my glans poke out through my own arse hole than visit his youtube channel.

Is this film a work of fiction or based on true events?

Biggy, we discussed this. If it helps, just think of historical film threads in Deeper Into Movies as being like that diner in Back To The Future. And you are George McFly. And the rest of us, collectively, are Biff Tannen.

When the Lunar Lander took off from the Moon the flag got blown away into the dirt!  I've seen the footage in various documentaries.  I've noticed that in American-made documentaries they tend to edit those few frames out.  I presume they don't mind that kind of censorship!
