I know I'm not just touched

When "Houston, we're in trouble" sounded, my heart tightened; when finally "Houston, I'm the Odyssey" finally sounded, my heart burst into tears with the cheering crowd; though, I know I'm watching a movie.
I know it wasn't just an unsuccessful space flight that moved me, it was the best things in human nature, bravery, confidence, worry, love, never giving up, wisdom in the face of adversity, and so on. There are also people who are dedicated, sincere, and single-mindedly dedicated to making a film well. Really, the qualities common to excellent films, sincerity, focus, and the audience as the object of conversation, etc., these are all in Apollo 13. can be seen.
Music, art, photography, acting, all very good.
I know that I am more and more emotional and tearful. This is completely different from watching movies when I was young. This is a manifestation of a person's growth. The care of the family, the experience of others' pain, tolerance, understanding, etc. The ancients said that at forty there is no confusion, but that's true.

    It was actually the first Ron Howard to watch...the old and tacky American theme, basically a Hollywood space film template, but it's still pretty...but NASA is all white men, and women can only be in the film. The housewife behind her husband, looking at this from today's perspective, is worth thinking about. There should be no such movies in the United States. At the same time, only the United States has such a high level of film industry that can make this kind of commercial blockbuster instill its free and conservative American values ​​into the world. Even if the Soviet Union possesses high aerospace technology, it cannot be worth a Hollywood... It is this point. It makes people wonder who is the big step for "humanity"? In addition, I didn't expect Kevin Bacon to be handsome when he was young.

    Very touching! So awesome! What a nice view! Four stars for the film itself, and one star for Gary Sinise, who far exceeded my expectations!

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.

    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.
