Great movie about an unusual man

Rating: 9/10 (23 October 2018)

Some folks though the director spent too much time on Ryans face, that Ryan was stiff, but if they don't know Armstrong through documentaries or counterparts, he was a brilliant but odd man who did not seek the limelight who was focused and driven. Ryan does spot on Armstrong in this and should be considered for an oscar.
As for the movie it was focused on the FIRST MAN and what he had to overcome personally as well as fate wise to become the guy in that capsule to land on the moon and it is an emotional ride despite his coolness.
As to the flag controversy - you do see it on the moon next to the lander and patches on the uniforms, you just dont see them planting the flag.
One of the best performances of the year and a stirring view of the risks, achievement (for US and mankind).
