What's the point of that? It'd be like a movie about the battle of Iwo Jima and not including the marines raising the flag on Mount Suribachi.

The flag being raised is like the only part of Iwo Jima that anyone cares about.

I don't think they really deny it, people associated with the production say "it's supposed to be a universal story" basically

Its a story about his life not the space race. If what Zikten is saying is true they could easily edit it for international audiences. It happens all the time. The flag scene not being included isnt a big deal.

How important was it for Neil Armstrong personally though? That SJW declared it a giant leap for mankind instead of America.

But it wasnt important or whatever these kids wanna say

The flag planting was important for the space race vs the Soviets. Does Buzz Aldrin know it was important for Neil Armstrong as an individual?

It is quite impressive what human beings can acheive.

Why Did Neil call it a mankind achievement? Did he hate America?

Admittedly, it is a little disappointing that it isn't there. You can say a flag is just a flag, but in the year this happened, the flag was a symbol greater than America itself for what it represented in terms of context surrounding the Cold War.

I don't understand why you think the name would have to change. At the end of the day, humans are doing great things, not land borders, but you can name them whatever.

Planting the flag was a big deal for the country. Can you prove it was important for Neil Armstrong? Explain to us why Neil used such SJW language when he stepped on the moon.

Neil Armstrong wasn't singlehandedly fighting the Cold War. This is not a movie about the Cold War, Space Race, or history of NASA. That's like saying all movies taking place in WW2 need to touch on all of the highlights.

Let's be honest, the only reason certain CEmen don't see a problem with the statement of not including the flag in the movie is because they're so far left they secretly wish America would collapse.

Sure, but his story intersects with it. The story of Neil Armstrong is a part of the overall story of the Cold War.

And that isn't a good analogy because I am not arguing that you need to show every highlight of the Cold War. It would be more like showing one of the flag-raisers from the battle of Iwo Jima and not showing them raising the flag there.
