What the movie needs a epilogue where Buzz punches a dipshit for talking shit about him being a coward.

Just watched this and good lord, the flag controversy was so dumb! The characters in general were as patriotic as the ones in any other space race movie, it is just that Neil was more of a withdrawn type and dealing with personal turmoil on top of the stressful job. 

 

Should First Man have been released in 2019 to tie in with the Apollo 11 anniversary-not this weekend but sometime in July? It would have been looked at as an awards-season contender regardless of release date given the people involved, but sometimes I think releasing outside of the festival or awards season can take some of the pressure off a prestige film, yet it still stands out from the blockbuster crowd. And maybe with the promotion tie-in to the anniversary itself, the PR shifts, different questions get asked and FM doesn't get embroiled in the flag controversy to start with... Though even without the flag drama, maybe First Man was only ever going to be so successful? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
