A good aerospace knowledge science

If you don't know anything about spaceflight, then you look at the technical details of Apollo 13 and you are confused, and then you can't figure out how they returned, how to solve what happened during the return process, and then think, oh, God, an accident, return, it's over.
If the knowledge stays at this stage, of course, it is no different from other films, but if you pay attention to every detail, then after watching this film, you will have a better understanding of spaceflight and the process of landing on the moon.
Of course, if you do your homework before you watch it, then there will be no hindrance to it looking.
In other words, this movie is a very brainy movie. If you don't know anything about aerospace knowledge, it will be really painful to watch. . . .
The bright line of the movie is the whole process of the Apollo 13 mission, and the dark line, which I think is well laid out, is the change in attitude of Lofer and Hayes towards Jack. Jack started off as a substitute for Ken, and they were prejudiced against Jack from the start because of the rush. Whether it's "12G we're burning to death" "Guys we're burning" during training, or their distrust of Jack's ability to successfully dock the lunar module, and Hayes to Jack when he judges that his orbit is off track The cynicism caused a quarrel, and the last sentence "Oops, I only counted two people (CO2)" made the contradiction completely intensified. But in the end, solidarity triumphs over prejudice when Jack's problem becomes a reality and the three work together to correct the track.
I don't know if I have noticed a detail that is repeated throughout the film, that is, the note with No. At first I was confused: what is this note for? In the end, Jack smiled and solved the mystery: It turned out that the note below was the button for abandoning the lunar module. He was afraid that he would abandon his teammates because he was nervous to press the button for a temporary battle, so he used this method. I don't know if Hayes was ashamed of his previous prejudice when Jack laughed and tore off the note.
After watching the whole movie, in addition to the commander, the commander-in-chief and Martinli, who disregarded the past, the most impressive one is Jack. This character is down-to-earth and diligent. No matter what his teammates think about him, he does what he should do. Saying what he should say is invaluable.
PS: Another bit of humor is the four-eyed engineer. This guy is probably here to adjust the atmosphere.

    20190617@天山重看, I was impressed by the jelly at the beginning of the movie, and I couldn't help but want to go to the bathroom. The main theme is not to make people think that it is not easy to shoot well. The greatest and most successful failure, before the launch Fortunately, I got the best card in a bunch of bad cards. The smallness of people and the greatness of people coexist. Even in the face of difficulties and obstacles, the exploration journey will never stop. Many of the copied language of the lens is compared to whether it is successful or not. When landing on the moon, I care more about doing my best to make all the astronauts come back alive. There are countless familiar faces that will be on fire in the future. Come on, fly, come on mankind.

    Houston, we have a problem.

Apollo 13 quotes

  • John Aaron, EECOM Arthur: Power is everything.

    Gene Kranz: What do you mean?

    John Aaron, EECOM Arthur: Without it, they don't talk to us, they don't correct their trajectory, they don't turn the heat shield around. We gotta turn everything off, now. They're not gonna make it to re-entry.

    Gene Kranz: What do you mean "everything"?

    John Aaron, EECOM Arthur: With everything on, the LEM draws 60 amps. At that rate, in 16 hours, the batteries are dead, not 45. And so is the crew. We gotta get them down to twelve amps.

  • Jim Lovell: Okay, uh, good evening, America, and welcome aboard Apollo 13. I'm Jim Lovell, and we're broadcasting to you tonight from an altitude of almost 200,000 miles away from the... the face of the Earth, and we have a pretty good show in store for you tonight. We are going to show you just what, uh, life is like for the three of us in the vast expanse of outer space.

    [a controller at Houston glances at a TV and sees a baseball game is on instead]

    Jim Lovell: Okay, one of the first things we'd like to do is provide you with the appropriate background music. So, uh, hit it there, Freddo.

    Fred Haise: [playing Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky"] Hello, world!

    Jim Lovell: That, uh, was supposed to be the theme to "2001", in honor of our command module Odyssey, but there seems to have been a last-minute change in the program.
