Synopsis;
Apollo 13
PG
The movie was created to show the events of apollo 13 and dramatize the event. The main question
raised by the film was “what actually happened up there?” which the film sort of explains, the movie
shows the four astronauts and the problem which they occurred which was caused by an explosion
and rupture of oxygen tank two in the service module. The explosion ruptured a line or damaged a
valve in the first oxygen tank, causing it to lose oxygen rapidly. The service module bay number four
cover was blown off. All oxygen stores were lost within about 3 hours, along with loss of water,
electrical power, and use of the propulsion system.
The perspective of the website is in a neutral point of view as well as the point of view from the
astronauts and their families and friends. It demonstrates the importance of the event with the
problems encountered which have shaped our relationship with space exploration dramatically.
Every since then we do extensive testing on the part which broke before its sent into space. The
movie also dug into the sexism of the time where women’s only purpose was to cook and clean for
the men which has also changed since then. The problems that were in that movie such as those two
points also gave us a insight to what times were like in the 1970’s. the movie defined and showed us
how America and other countries might have been at that time with the technology and the fashon
and people.
In conclusion, the movie wasn’t that good in my opinion, it was kinda boring when it came to getting
to the point. The main charectors in the space centre annoyed me for how sexist they were and also
how sexist the times were back then. Honestly id never watch the film ever again unless my life
really depended on it. As I progressed through the movie I guess it did get a tiny bit less boring
depending on what was happening in the scenes. But apart from that the movie was terrible.
