We nom-Americans are well aware of the "flag tax".

We know Hollywood gets tax cuts for bigger, more numerous and slower-mo shots of American flags in their films.

Clearly "First Man" was making a statement about this special treatment.

Interesting, so you have any citation links for this? I'd like to read more about this but a quick search brings up nothing.

Sorry friend. It was a joke. It's a long-running light-hearted poke at just how often Americans put flags in every piece of visual media they create.
