Now, many people who have not even seen First Man are angry with the film for leaving out Neil Armstrong’s planting of the American flag.
Other critics of First Man have stated that the Neil Armstrong’s planting of the American flag on the surface of the moon was a “banner of freedom and peace.”
Before anyone gets too emotional about the lack of an American flag in First Man, the flag is actually shown waving in the lunar wind on more than one occasion in the movie.
While the American flag may not be the focus in First Man, it is represented many times throughout the movie, according to sources that were present at the premiere.
