Is this movie about Neil Armstrong ?

of course they're joking, its totally about Buzz Aldrin.

This movie, a staggering work of "inner mind" genius, is actually a filmic "dream text" of the "waking hallucination" Michael Richards was having during the "Fridays" taping. Pay close atention to that scene (very close to the exact midpoint of the film...coincidence?) and you will realize that this film is indeed the biography of Michael Richards IF he was And Kaufman...a brilliant "what if" going through the actor's head as a coping mechanism for his traumatic exerience on live television at the hands of the REAL Kaufman.

During this "dream," he imagines how much better his life would be if he had the genius of Kaufman, and Jim Carrey's performance finds it greatest triumph in his ability to portray BOTH Kaufman AND Richards at the same time...while his eye mannerisms and much of his speech patterns are Kaufman, his frentic energy and obsessive-compulsive mannerism *neither of which were Kaufman trademarks) are pure Richards.

This film is the "3 Women" or "Persona" of comic biopics. Milos Foreman is a genius!! I can't believe more people aren't aware of what this fim is really about!

I'm sorry, but this movie is not about Neil Armstrong. That's what I thought at first too.
I rented the movie hoping to enjoy an evening watching a fantastic biopic of a true american hero, Neil Armstrong. I thought that the cover was a bit weird though, because in real life, Mr. Armstrong traveled to the moon in a rocket ship, not by using a ladder. But I shrugged it off, thinking that it might've been some artistic decision made by the director.
I made my popcorns, they were just nice and warm, I poured myself a nice cold drink of Coca-cola. I put the tape in the VHS-player and I sunk into my lazyboy, ready to enjoy a truely extraordinary film.

Imagine my surprise, when I realized, that the movie was NOT about Neil Armstrong, Mr. Armstrong didn't even appear in the movie. Not only that, but not once in the movie, was there a scene where someone climbs to the moon on a ladder.
Naturally I was outraged, I immediately ejected the tape and drove back to the videostore and demanded my money back.

I wouldn't recommend anyone to watch tihs movie, for it is falsely marketed.

No, I am Andy Kaufman, Tony Clifton's in this thread somewhere, and I think Latka's lurking about.
