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

  • Jim Lovell: Houston, uh, we... we sure could use the re-entry procedure up here. When can we expect that?

    William 'Bill' Pogue, CAPCOM: Uh, that's coming real soon, Aquarius.

    Jim Lovell: Uh, Houston, we... we... we just can't just throw this together at the last minute. So here's what you're gonna do. You're gonna get the procedure up to us, whatever it is, and we're gonna go over it step by step so that there's no foul-ups. I don't have to tell you we're all a little tired up here. The world's getting awfully big in the window.

  • Deke Slayton: Jim, we're gonna get that power-up procedure to you. We're gonna get it as soon as we possibly can. Ken Mattingly's in the simulator right now.

    Jim Lovell: [hopeful] Ken's working on it?
