23 years later, it still looks good

I decided to watch this film after watching the Russian film Space Rescue which was released in 2017, which was completely unexpected. Released in 1995, 23 years later, it doesn't feel very low. I think there are two reasons for this perception: one is that it is adapted from history, so there is a background for the story; the other is that the film does not show many high-tech shots, and it is more important to put history and the great efforts of astronauts fully expressed.

Ordinary scenes, ordinary lines, ordinary feelings, the more you can see the good and evil of people's hearts, I am very moved by the concerted efforts of the astronauts inside to solve the problem together, and I am also very moved by the ground commander's efforts to bring the astronauts back to Earth. I saw the shadow of our engineering students, and felt chills at the attitude of the diplomats and journalists, although I could understand the disgust that could not stop me.

    Supplementary comment: business card, but not as good-looking as I imagined, rather dull

    After watching the tidbits, I feel that the documentary component of this film is still relatively high, but I watched it for Tom Hanks. Since I watched the Mars mission and the super-space contact before, I felt deja vu, so I should understand the history.

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.
