Compared with "Apollo 13", this should be considered a prequel. The time difference between the two is not long, so let's compare.
The suits of the two (for Saturn series rockets and space suits) are very close, as can be seen from various details.
"Deng" uses more psychological descriptions and compresses the details of the moon landing, while "No. 13" is straightforward.
In "Deng", the female characters are not simple vases, they play more roles. There are more character descriptions of the main characters, Neil is a workaholic who is addicted to work, and Aldrin's image is not good.
In comparison, "No. 13" appears to be more nationalistic, an American-style "red movie". "Deng" has more personal emotions, which is also the obvious difference between the films of the two eras. In many shots, the hugeness of the rocket and the grandeur of the scene are not deliberately displayed, but more content is expressed in the small space capsule.
In addition, part of the video style of "Deng" also has a sense of the times. The film, grain, and tone all have the feeling of the 1960s and 1970s.
