As many of you may have heard, Ryan Gosling’s new movie “First Man” is raising eyebrows for leaving out the historic moment astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin planted our American flag on the moon.
Gosling’s response got even MORE people worked up. The Canadian actor said that the scene had been INTENTIONALLY left out, as the moment “transcended countries and borders.”
OOOOH GAWD. Here we go with this crap.
Sure… it was a special moment for the world… made possible by AMERICANS. What’s WRONG with that?!
Absolutely nothing, other than being proud of America and our flag is currently VERY un-trendy.
James Woods took on the entire issue as only he could:
But why not just present the facts as they were? I think Ryan Gosling is a wonderful actor, but omitting the seminal moment in the midst of mankind’s greatest achievement seems a purposeful denigration of the 400,000 Americans who accomplished it. https://t.co/K6SldeBkPA

Oh… but they weren’t just AMERICANS… they were citizens of the EARTH. Right, Hollywood?
Were those removed from the costumes as well? https://t.co/xs2eRA7dIU

OH GOD, I sure hope so. They might as well have worn NAZI ARMBANDS. /sarc…obviously.
and then he hits the nail DIRECTLY on the head:
The greatest miscalculation in movie promotion is to piss off your target audience while trying to appease people who would never be interested in the subject matter anyway. Flag hating #liberals were never going to see the moon landing movie. Now many patriots won’t either. Sad.

He’s TOTALLY right.
A LOT of the people who would have gone to see this movie would have done so because they remember this moment with pride in their hearts. AMERICAN PRIDE.
I mean… should we stop having Olympic athletes represent their countries? After all… their athletic abilities “transcend countries and borders” …right?
SO. FREAKING. STUPID.

Yes! Those were the days, huh? Back when Democrats still had working brains.
And James is FAR from the only person who thinks this is all ridiculous:
That’s not the Neil Armstrong I knew

Armstrong was a PATRIOT who LOVED HIS COUNTRY.
In fact… the part of this moment Hollywood chose to CUT OUT was BUZZ ALDRIN’S PROUDEST MOMENT:
One of the single greatest moments in the life of every living American at that time. @TheRealBuzz – a true hero in every way. https://t.co/XZ1zkkIojd

James ALSO reminded us of these wise words:
How could filmmakers not grasp this basic concept? #MoonLanding pic.twitter.com/YijiPjFjaV

How? Well… because liberals actively hate American patriotism. That’s how.
