Buzz Aldrin has weighed in on the ongoing controversy surrounding the upcoming Neil Armstrong biopic First Man.
The movie screened at Venice Film Festival last week and has been criticised for not featuring a scene depicting the American flag being planted into the moon.
Following outrage online, Aldrin tweeted a photo of himself and Armstrong on the moon, alongside the hashtags “proud to be an American,” “freedom,” “honor.”
Like Chazelle, they explain that the story focuses on the personal struggles Armstrong went through, rather than moments the world has already seen.
