Recommended by a friend, I still think it’s good. In addition to recalling the temperament of "Laotang" back then, I am still impressed by the national spirit and humanitarianism that has always been promoted in American movies. The
grand exploration has achieved the long- standing dreams of the protagonist. The miracle created by the moon landing, they have aspirations to go to the vast universe, but rigorous science is inevitable to omit. How can the mysteries of the vast world be understood by the only knowledge of mankind at present, so it is a common space and the earth. The adventure has begun...
It is worth mentioning that in the movie, whether it is the astronaut’s home or the control room of the launch center, the Stars and Stripes can be seen everywhere, which virtually adds a solemn and sacred atmosphere to the movie. It seems that there are all kinds of large and complicated The precision instruments also instantly became solemn with a bit of deterrence. Secondly, it is the climax of the astronauts who worked hard to rescue the three astronauts after the Apollo 13 mission failed. The most impressive thing is that Ken, who was temporarily replaced, took the initiative to return to the simulator to find a way to get them out of danger according to the situation of the three colleagues, and in order to make a simple carbon dioxide filter. The calmness and agility shown in the most critical moments. In fact, Ken’s return represents the trade-off between Americans’ personal interests and national interests, and the design of filters is a manifestation of collective morality. These two plots alone permeate a high degree of respect and care for human rights. , One can imagine what kind of national spirit shines in the whole movie.
In addition, the film is almost at the closest distance to the government and satirizes the TV media’s kitsch, ignorance and low-level taste. It is done naturally, but its intention seems a little too obvious.
The brilliance of Americans lies in combining the exploration of human undertakings with the promotion of national will, and expressing them in a civilized and entertaining way such as movies. There are countless examples of this. Perhaps some people will dismiss it, but they don't know that cultural infection is not only latent, but also multiplying the result with half the effort. If we learn to use this trick early, I'm afraid it will benefit a lot.

Apollo 13 quotes

  • [last lines]

    Jim Lovell: [narrating] Our mission was called "a successful failure," in that we returned safely but never made it to the moon. In the following months, it was determined that a damaged coil built inside the oxygen tank sparked during our cryo stir and caused the explosion that crippled the Odyssey. It was a minor defect that occured two years before I was even named the flight's commander. Fred Haise was going back to the moon on Apollo 18, but his mission was cancelled because of budget cuts; he never flew in space again. Nor did Jack Swigert, who left the astronaut corps and was elected to Congress from the state of Colorado. But he died of cancer before he was able to take office. Ken Mattingly orbited the moon as Command Module Pilot of Apollo 16, and flew the Space Shuttle, having never gotten the measles. Gene Kranz retired as Director of Flight Operations just not long ago. And many other members of Mission Control have gone on to other things, but some are still there. As for me, the seven extraordinary days of Apollo 13 were my last in space. I watched other men walk on the Moon, and return safely, all from the confines of Mission Control and our house in Houston. I sometimes catch myself looking up at the Moon, remembering the changes of fortune in our long voyage, thinking of the thousands of people who worked to bring the three of us home. I look up at the moon and wonder, when will we be going back, and who will that be?

  • Jeffrey Lovell: Dad... did you know the astronauts in the fire?

    Jim Lovell: [pause] Yeah. Yeah, I did. I knew those astronauts in that fire, all of them.

    Jeffrey Lovell: Could that happen again?

    Jim Lovell: Well, I'll tell you something about that fire, a lot of things went wrong. The door, called the hatch? They couldn't get it open when they needed to get out. That was one thing. Well, a lot of things went wrong.

    Jeffrey Lovell: Did they fix it?

    Jim Lovell: Oh yes, absolutely, we fixed it. It's not a problem anymore.
