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.

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?
