If they want a lot of emotin' and joshin' they can do Third Man. Of course the pressure was off
to beat the Russians and be first at that point.

Why is this doing so poorly? Acting or what? I figured given the subject matter it would be a hit.

Because word got out that they removed all elements of patriotism and American exceptionalism.
I heard that they didnt even show him planting the American flag, and that the mission was a "global effort". Kinda not true, the US basically did it alone, with our tax payers money lol. But is that true, did they not show the flag planting scene?
Well its either in there or it isnt. I didnt plan on seeing it, I was just looking at this thread to see what you guys thought of the movie, and to ask if the scene was in there or not.
I was literally asking if that scene is in the movie or not. One of those "yes or no" answers would have been cool.
Cheers man! Thank you.Apologies of course, I think after the "controversy" which I considered manufactured I'm probably too quick to defend as the subject matter
has forever been close to my heart.
It surely wasn't true, I know the statements that started all that "controversy" but Apollo also indeed did have an overt "for all mankind" message.
Nixon's phone call, the plaque on the LEM lander, they even left things on the surface in memorial of the cosmonauts
that died too. The film had flags all over it, it portrayed America extremely well.
I would say that would only account for a couple percent at most and sadly it is out of ignorance and knee jerk in my opinion.
