Just watched First Man after avoiding it because I heard that it was anti-american. After watching, it's clear this movie is american as fuck. There's an american flag every 10 seconds. They have a long shot where the main focus is the words "United States of America". Film is about a nice white family. Barely any niggers. The only reason people trash it is because they didn't show him planting the flag, even though they have a very long shot of the flag on the moon. Why did the media lie?

But why did the director do everything but not show the actual planting? Americans would be hard for that scene, right?
Gabriel Stewart
Because /pol/ doesn't really believe in anything and just likes getting mad
Samuel Young
because every movie is now made to not offend chinks
Isaac Stewart
Because it would detract from the fucking bracelet scene you absolute nigger.

I think the movie would be better with the scene, but I read their explanation and it's sort of ok. The director said the film is more about Neil's personal struggles and him dealing with the loss of his daughter. There was a really emotional scene where he takes his daughter's bracelet and drops it in a crater on the moon, signifying that he's ready to move on. I still think they should've shown the planting, but its ok without it. Also the real planting took like 15 minutes but they could've shortened it down because of creative liberty.

Because leftists hate the celebration of America
I'm glad this movie bombed

You are an absolute moron if you fell for the "it's anti-american" bullshit in the first place. I mean you can see the flags on his uniform in the trailer.

was Armstrong really as autistic as Gosling made him out to be?
Nathan Hernandez
yes, keep believing us, you're a good goy!

Yes, it's why he was chosen as the first man

Chinese government would not allow selling this movie in China if it showed the USA claiming the moon with its flag.
That's the real reason

Sounds about right. Especially given how they put Murrka in all the scenes around it.
Don't forget also the Muslim world, where it's a big meme over there that Neil heard "allaaaahu akbaaar, ashaddu an la ilah illa alllllaaa" when he set foot on the moon

This. If you try to please them I'll just laugh when they eat you.

I wouldn't be surprised if studios have now labeled Chazelle a failure. It seems impossible he could fuck up this material so badly.

Since Drive’s inception Ryan Gosling has been bombarded with directors trying to emulate the cold distinct aura of Nicolas Winding Refn’s 2011 epic—Denis Villeneuve of course being the biggest offender. Shane Black tried to offset this running trend with The Nice Guys by essentially having Gosling turn in a goofy suburban Chris Tucker performance opposite Russell Crowe’s stoic American interpretation of Jackie Chan; this may have worked for your average critic but the dishonest undertones were ultimately the deciding factor in terms of the film failing to succeed at the box office and therefore leaving no mark on pop culture.
Was Drive a curse? Is Ryan Gosling doomed to a cinematic lifetime of dishonest arthouse blockbusters starring a cold and detached protagonist that overall fails to resonate with audiences? You may be saying to yourself that La La Land was a success in his filmography but that was in fact due to Emma Stone’s burgeoning star power and the overall public’s appetite for a competently produced musical. Fact of the matter is any A-List/B-List male performer could’ve filled Gosling’s role in that production.
Ryan Gosling is an actor stuck in his own Marvel Cinematic universe. He is the Tony Stark/Robert Downey Jr. of the arthouse world, not in terms of literal character mannerisms but in terms of being recycled in the same role in different films. He’s been typecast, but his typecasting isn’t nearly as profitable or publicly celebrated as Downey Jr’s. (Ironically enough, RDJ himself starred in his own Shane Black film, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.)
So what’s next for Gosling? Does he ride this out or attempt a course correct to reinvent his career? I say he should go back to where it all started with Winding Refn. It may be time for the two to make a film that rewrites the architecture of film culture. Drive did in fact kickstart the 80s craze that now dominates contemporary Hollywood.
