Anyone could just use this link and focus first on the messages from "rinselberg".

There is a lot you don't know, including the fact that I never said that.

Educate the masses. Explain your comment.

I may have more to say
about the "First Man" movie as the day wears on. First, some housekeeping:

I am currently a member
in good standing of that other online discussion forum--OptiBoard--and always have been, after registering as "rinselberg" in 2004. I posted as recently as January 28, 2019, and before that, on January 22. As confirmed by this screen capture:

The owner and moderator did not eliminate the "Just Conversation" section. He decided to put an end to political conversations. He was already leaning that way, towards the end of 2013. "Political Posts and Civility - Can they co-exist?" I was part of that conversation, as confirmed by this screen capture:

Anyone could follow that conversation from the beginning, and they would find not even a scintilla of hostility or blame directed at "rinselberg". To wit:
https://www.optiboard.com/f...ty-Can-they-co-exist

Does it strike anyone
as just plain odd, that I am still an OptiBoard member in good standing, with full posting privileges, after having, in randye's own words, "spammed", "angered" and "disrupted" all of those Eye Care Professionals to the point where they decided to shut down part of their discussion forum? Wouldn't they have decided to shut me down (membership ban), instead of shutting down part of their own forum?

Does
any of what forum member randye was saying make any sense?

"What 'First Man' Got Right About Neil Armstrong"
Michael Neufeld for the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum; October 12, 2018.
https://airandspace.si.edu/...about-neil-armstrong

SPOILER ALERT
Do not read the First Man review by Michael Neufeld if you still want to see First Man without "spoiling" it for yourself.

Excerpt
quote
[FIrst Man] is almost certainly is the most accurate fictional depiction of human spaceflight in the 1960s ever made.



Excerpt
quote
... the deliberate artistic choice to focus intensively on Armstrong’s experience and the effects on him and his wife tends to make most other characters marginal.



Excerpt
quote
First Man is entertaining, compelling, and like "Apollo 13", quite scrupulous in its attention to the facts of US human spaceflight in the 1960s. I highly recommend it.

I haven't watched the First Man movie yet, but noticed it's on Netflix. Just FYI.

BTW, guys...

NOBODY ever went to the moon. The aliens stopped it, and the entire fiasco was filmed on sound stages and the Nevada desert !!!

So there !

Not to knock you, or feed randye, but can you clarify ?

Patrick, is that really you ?
I hope that all is going well on your back porch.

LOOK O/T, we caught us a lurker, .

Patrick, there is truth if you, or I, look to find it. Tony's post is spot on, whether politics, personal life, heck, most anything. Even forums. Discussion is needed, especially if we do not want to bathe in our own feelings

Good to hear from you again Patrick !

Hello cliffw,

Just reminding folks--perhaps something that cliffw did not overlook--that the remarks about this Topic from Patrick were five months ago. If Patrick reappeared on the forum more recently--I think he did--his discourse was very brief.

The First Man review from that Smithsonian Museum curator, Michael Neufeld, was published under the banner "What First Man Got Right About Neil Armstrong."

I think there is meaning in the observation that the reference there is to Neil Armstrong, and not to the Apollo 11 mission itself, or to the Apollo program. This is a movie that is first and foremost about Neil Armstrong. Not his entire life--it's not a full biopic on the man--but to the part of his life that is most directly intertwined with the Apollo 11 mission. This is borne out in the review from Michael Neufeld.

Among other things, I think this review speaks to the question that was posed in the Original Topic, or Original Post, or post#0 as I have lately taken to calling it. The question was "Why does the First Man movie not include the planting of the American flag on the surface of the moon?"

I think the answer to that, that is expressed, albeit indirectly, by this Michael Neufeld review, is "Why would anyone perceive that the First Man movie is incomplete, or deceptive in some political or culturally significant way, because that moment is not part of the movie?"
