They should call their channel Grey Noise Reacts.. there is a thing called grey noise and also grey can be considered as a "spin-off" color of white. Either way I'm subbing when they create their channel.
It's hard to believe that this is one of the final girls reacts videos on the channel. I'll miss this, and I hope that one day you two continue making reactions. I wish you well either way.
@@daniellanctot6548 I would watch the heck out of that! Hayley and Stella have been such a great addition to the channel and I hope we will get more of their reactions and commentary in the future. 🤞
Everything in this movie was real except for the astronauts arguing between themselves, that was just added for movie drama. A lot of the script is actually word for word with what was said in real life.
I've listened to the actual NASA tapes of this whole event. They were so damn cool and collective it was like an every day thing. Oh yeah, by the way, Houston we have a problem...
I can... understand it I guess, it''s not as grievous like other "based on true stories" movies have made such as changing nationalities of people (or ships) for no good reason. I guess the idea here is that the audience wouldn't be able to identify with three cool headed people doing math. Or something.
Well they omitted the role Glynn Lunney played; Ken Mattengly said he was the real leader in the control room, and it was he who brought calm to the situation. He was chief flight after the disaster occurred, and a lot of the critical decisions went through him. Im not undermining Gene Kranz, and i get that Ron Howard probably didnt want a too many chiefs situation steering focus from Ed Harris character, but its not accurate.
I love things like that…. And the real Marilyn Lovell is shown in the launch scene. She’s a dark headed lady they make a specific short shot of. Also, the lady playing Lovells Mom is Ronnie Howard’s Mom and the priest sitting with the family at the end is his Dad. Howard’s brother is one of the people in the control room…. I read someplace that NASA was so impressed by the launch footage that they actually thought it was actual footage from them .
I used to be a NASA affiliated museum curator, I did a million presentations on various topics, including Apollo 13. I can tell you that Fred Haise told me that most of the movie is accurate, though he was annoyed at how they introduced some controversy between the crew because Hollyweird feared that the public wouldn’t understand how professionals show stress, but he enjoyed the movie.
That "Mom, you're squishing me" line is so real though. It's exactly the kind of little detail you'd see in that kind of moment, as the mom subconsciously holds her kids tight while also holding her own tension.
There wasn't a bad actor in this movie, even the children. There was never a point where an actor's acting pulled me out of the drama. I was nearly breathless all the way until the end, even though I knew they lived.
I will believe to my dying day that Ron Howard was robbed of the Best Director Oscar for this movie. We know how this story ended, yet he created one of the most riveting movies ever, despite that. Amazing feat. I was 12, and a big fan of the space program, and this mission. It was an agonizing week, because many of us also remembered Apollo 1.
I always think of the Challenger explosion when Apollo 13 takes off and since it happened the black out always makes me think of Columbia and how for Columbia there was nothing but silence.
I was only 7 but I do still remember my Dad coming into my bedroom and telling me that the astronauts weren't going to land on the moon because an oxygen tank exploded. I was very disappointed and thought that they should land anyway. I have no other memories of the event. And I definitely agree about the Oscars. To this day, I refuse to watch Braveheart.
Ron Howard’s entire family is in this film. His father Rance is the priest seen in the watch party at the end of the film, His mother Jean plays the role of Blanche (Jim Lovell’s mother) Ron’s brother Clint plays the role of Sy Liebgott (balding coke bottle glasses flight controller )
*Stella* "This is one of those professions where being a perfectionist is GREAT." As an engineer for NASA on the Artemis program - can confirm. Lol. This movie does a great job at showing what we do as engineers and Flight Controllers. One of my inspirations for my career.
Hayley's explanation of people forgetting how demanding space exploration is - spot on! This was precisely the mindset that infected NASA itself and allowed the Challenger and Columbia disasters to happen, because both were totally preventable had management listened to engineers' concerns. Actually the Saturn V was a three-stage rocket. Each stage had a different rocket motor design and fuel system. Very complicated LOL
if you're planning on starting your own channel, however many people that may be, I will definitely see you there! Good luck, and big smiles, whatever you choose to do. Thank you all for the vids ☺️
I had just turned 9 when Apollo 11 landed on the moon and I can still remember it. Where I was, who was with me, everything. I also remember Apollo 13 and how we prayed for their safe return.
The weightless effects were practical effects filmed in an aircraft affectionately known as the Vomit Comet. The aircraft flies in a parabolic arc, starting in a 45 degree climb, and then peaking before going into a 45 degree dive, much like a roller coaster. For around 25 seconds a near 0 g environment is produced. With only being able to get 25 seconds of footage at a time one can imagine how many times they had to ride the parabola to get all the scenes they needed.
While you are seeing a lot of chaos in Mission Control, you are not seeing panic. The astronauts had to be military test pilots to even be chosen for the program and the people in Houston were much the same. I remember watching when this happened, and my dad talking me through everything that was being done. However, he did say that Tom Hanks had more anxiety in his voice than Jim Lovell had when he told Mission Control, "Houston, we have a problem."
From what I hear, even the bickering scenes aboard the Apollo 13 were inserted into the movie for dramatic purposes because the actual astronauts kept their cool the whole time.
You guys are starting your own channel right? You don't need the boys! xD ** Not that I don't love the boys, I just think one channel isn't big enough for you all!
It's super interesting hearing the actual recording of the real incident, it's a testament to the nature of test pilot recruitment and pilot/astronaut training when you realise how level headed and calm they were.
I did like the non-technical reaction. Neil deGrasse Tyson said you're essentially strapping yourself into an ICBM on crack. True. The girls pointed out it's pretty much riding a train of one night stands. Each section of the rocket, use it then lose it. Also true. Interesting ways of looking at the project.
As many have already intimated, I really hope you two continue to make content on here, whether taking over this channel or starting your own. You have a guaranteed audience that will follow you over. Don't tell the guys...but I only really watch your videos 😂
SAMEE! I found this channel becuz their reaction to the green mile and stayed for their reaction of last of us. I really like their different perspective and take on things so I hope they keep doing it on their own in some capacity.
This was based on a book by Jim Lovell, and he also made a cameo at the end. Tom Hanks shakes hands with the captain at the end in white with hat, that was him❤❤
About 90-95% of this movie portrays real events. A few small bits were altered to add more tension and drama, but overall this is one of the most accurate "based on real events" ever made.
37:44 Fun fact: There were actually _more_ things that went wrong on the actual flight than were presented in the movie. The writers had to cut out some problems because they didn't think it would be believable.
I really enjoy both of your reactions to these films. I know that there has been talk about closing down this channel but I would highly recommend that you ladies continue reacting either on this channel or create your own. Food for thought. Keep up the good work I enjoy your content.
@@whitenoisereacts I see that. It’s great you guys are considering continuing in one form or the other. I know I speak for everyone when I say we really want you to continue reacting. You are easily the best reactors on RUclips.
Needless to say, much of the astronauts' and the Mission Controllers' dialogue is specifically designed to help audiences what is happening. In real life, very little needed to be explained to anyone directly involved. These are some of the smartest people on and off the planet. It was a flurry of acronyms, abbreviations, and math. As for historical accuracy, well, for the most part, it's VERY accurate.
Based on the incredible true story of the Apollo 13 Mission to the moon that turned from a failure into a story of survival. Nominated for 9 Oscars including Best Picture, but won for Best Film Editing and Best Sound Editing.
In addition to "Sully" (2016), Tom Hanks was in the true story movies "Captain Phillips" (2013), "Charlie Wilson's War" (2007), and "A League of their Own" (1992); and was producer for the 12 episode miniseries "From The Earth To The Moon" (1998) about the Mercury, Gemini, & Apollo programs.
Hanks and Spielberg produced "Band of Brothers" for HBO as well following "Saving Private Ryan". Hanks also directed episode 5 ("Crossroads"), while his son Colin played a new lieutenant in Episode 8 ("The Last Patrol").
@@JDChengit’s incredible that he was just a comedian in the 80s, But in the 90s he became an epic dramatic actor. How often does that happen with actors
@@nsasupporter7557 As John Barrymore reportedly said on his deathbed: "Dying is easy. Comedy is hard." Once you understand what makes people laugh (usually based in emotional pain or embarrassment) it's much easier to portray drama.
The overhead projector failing on Gene Krantz was a fun and clever detail. It enhanced our sense of technoology failing us and us having to rely on good ol' human ingenuity. Which is exactly what this scene (and several others) was all about.
The movie was pretty accurate to real life events, with small changes for drama or to communicate what was happening to the audience, but things like having to figure out how to put a square filter in a round hole, losing the wedding ring, the "NO!" note, etc. did actually happen. With as many things that went wrong, this movie showed how people working together can overcome a huge number of barriers and a gigantic amount of bad luck.
Impressed with your reaction - too young to really understand the era, the attitudes, the science of the times, yet you were right on top of everything and followed the flow of the movie so well… great job !
The famous line was really “Houston, we’ve HAD a problem” but the writers thought that Houston, we HAVE a problem” sounded more immediate and urgent. The weightlessness scenes were filmed in a special plane nicknamed the Vomit Comet, that NASA uses for training. Each flight consists of a series of steep rises and dives that simulate weightlessness for about 25 seconds. Those scenes were shot during dozens of flights, 25 seconds at a time.
That tool at 20:36 they were using to check the math is called a slide rule. It's what we used before we had portable calculators. My dad graduated from engineering school in the 60s and I still have his with the leather case.
Ed Harris is a great actor that has been in a bunch of good stuff. For a lighthearted movie, I liked "Milk Money" (1994) starring him and Melanie Griffith. My favorite performance of his in in James Cameron's "The Abyss" (1989) which is like an underwater space movie. When you're ready to go back to up into space, try "Space Camp" (1986). This adventurous movie stars young up-and-comers: Lea Thompson, Kelly Preston, Tate Donovan and Joaquin Phoenix. It didn't catch on because it was released months after the NASA Shuttle Challenger tragedy in 1986. I first saw it when I was around ten years old, and I've always liked it.
@@whitenoisereactsLove to see it. And never say no about returning. I think after the craziness of the wedding dies down you will naturally come back to it. Going to be plenty of stuff to react to now that all of the strikes are done and productions have all started back up.
this is probably my favorite "space movie" - excluding the science fiction greats since this is not science fiction - and I remember seeing this in theaters with my dad who was still working as an aerospace engineer at the time (he started his career during the peak of the space race so these stories and particularly the engineering side and problem solving hit close to home for him) and what a movie theater experience it was. Very glad to have been able to experience this film again with you two even though it did not hit as hard for the both of you because of the technical babble (it can be overwhelming for even those who get it). Really hope to continue the reaction journey with you both in the future. Sincerely, the addition of your voices to the White Noise channel was perfection.
When I first saw this, I knew the story inside out already. On a technical level, that is. I was absolutely not prepared for the human side. It hit me hard, and I cried a lot. Wonderful movie, doing a fantastic job of covering the technical side well enough, while being engaging, and putting the human side front and center. 11/10 rewatch often.
This was a pretty accurate retelling of the Apollo 13 mission. You're right in noticing that the impact of the smallest details played such a big role in the outcome of these missions. They do not mention it in this film but the death of the Apollo 1 crew happened because of a spark caused by friction of velcro in 100% oxygen in the capsule. How could anyone predict that? In this movie, it's something that happened as the crew capsule was being manufactured, that resulted in the explosion months later. If you want to see an amazing series (12 parts) check out Tom Hanks HBO production From the Earth to the Moon. Its about the more human stories that led to our successful moon missions. Highly recommend!
Also on Apollo 1, the Capsule door upened inwards - not outwards, so when the fire erupted, nobody could open the door due to the pressure build up inside the capsule.
Fun Fact: Bryce Dallas Howard is in the yellow sundress when Marilyn comes to see Jim off the night before the launch and Jim Lovell himself plays the captain welcoming the Apollo 13 crew back to Earth at the end of the film
Speaking of the “Medical Mutiny” scene, a similar event occurred on the ISS in the early 2000s. The crew was working 16 shifts to get the station online. However, a few days into the mission, they shut off their radio and didn’t turn it back on for 24-26 hours, idk. They spent that time resting and enjoying the view. When they turned the radio back on Mission Control decided to break down their shifts so they could get some more time to themselves.
That was Skylab - the following program in the 70’s after Apollo ended. The crew did turn off the radio for a day due to overwork. NASA learned a lesson then and we made sure the ISS crew had time off each day.
@@paratus04 @Fuzz32 - Wally Schirra also had a cold during Apollo 7 - and fought with the ground controllers because of it. Following that contention, all 3 Apollo 7 astronauts (Schirra, Donn Eisle, and Walter Cunningham) never flew in space again - just like the Skylab 4 "mutineers".
It's important to note that all the arguing and tension between the crew is FALSE. Hollywood added it for drama, they all worked together seamlessly. Also, Mariyln really did lose her wedding ring as shown in the movie. Also, the captain of the US carrier was the real Jim Lovell.
Ron Howard wanted Mr. Lovell to wear 1-star (O-7) admiral's rank (that being what the "captain" of a major ship like an aircraft carrier would be), but Mr. Lovell flatly refused, saying "I only made it to Captain when I was in the Navy, and I will not wear anything else." So he wore his eagles (O-6).
I noticed the two of you being very concerned about the oxygen. To clarify, losing the oxygen tank was not a problem for them to continue to have breathable air; their water convertors can more than handle that. Losing the oxygen is a fuel problem, and for them not to have enough fuel to make it back home.
A couple interesting facts. The real Jim Lovell is on the ship at the end of the movie. Tom Hanks salutes him and shakes his hand. After this movie, Tom Hanks produced an HBO mini series called From the Earth to the Moon that covers the entire time frame of us going to the.moon. it's a great series to watch.
I remember when this movie came out, it was a huge success! My hubby and I adore this movie. I can't even tell you how many times I've seen it. The more you watch, the more it all makes sense and you get more about what is actually going on. After this, Tom Hanks helped produce a mini series on HBO called From Earth to the Moon, that followed the whole Apollo program. They focused on 3 groups of people, like this movie: Nasa and the astronauts, the families at home, and the media and government. Its really interesting and one of the best mini series I've ever watched.
You might think that the end when it took them longer to show was just for dramatic effect but that is how it played out or at least close to it (not sure on the precise timing) due to the lack of moon rocks, they did have a different slope where it took them longer than normal to enter the atmosphere.
I'm an astrophysicist , love this movie....it's by far the most realistic space movie ever made .... physics are spot on ... just crazy this actually happened... amazing movie 🎬
12:11 - They lost one of the five engines. They had to decide if they needed to scrub the mission or not. They did some quick math and calculated that the remaining four engines could still get the job done.
The most unrealistic part of this movie was the conflict among the crew. There was no finger-pointing, bickering, or even audible stress from the crew. If they had played their parts as cool as the actual mission, it would've been an incredibly underwhelming film. Listening to the actual audio from the mission is pretty boring unless you're able to understand the discussion and visualize the consequences of success or failure at any given stage.
I'm sure it's probably been mentioned already but, in one of the last scenes the Admiral that Tom Hanks shakes the hand of when they get on the naval ship, was played by the real Jim Lovell.
Thank you on reacting to this movie and the interesting thing is that this movie was released in 1995 the year I was born and the performances by Tom Hanks, Ed Harris and the late Bill Paxton along with the music and score by James Horner is phenomenal. It’s hard to say what’s to come following Hayley and Stella’s reaction to _Before Sunrise_ and the next films of the _Before_ Trilogy, but I definitely think they should still continue doing reactions together wether with Nobu on the Anime Reacts Channel, or their own new RUclips reaction channel, their just too good to not let them go to waist so hopefully the girls will get to create their own reactions channel to react to more films including the critically acclaimed classic films and recent movies and also join alongside Nobu reacting to several Animated/Anime movies and shows on the Anime Reacts Channel (that will be under new management).
What impresses me the most is the things like them double checking math done by hand in real time. You know, things that even highly educated people don't do anymore because computers.
The funny thing (to me) is that they removed a few events that actually happened because they felt the audience would feel it was "too much" and that no one could have overcome that much. Also, they had to "punch up" the stress levels of crew to emphasis the stress levels. If you listen to the flight recordings and look at the historical record, the crew and ground control teams where 100% calm and professional the entire time. It is almost boring to listen to until you actually understand what they are talking *about*.
I was 3 years old in 1970, so of course I didn't understand what was happening, but one of my earliest memories is EVERYONE glued to the TV or radio that week...
I was 8 when this happened. My generation wanted to be astronauts when we grew up. The current generation wants to be social media influencers. Times have changed.
Hi ladies!! I love your reactions! I know the channel is shutting down soon, but I really hope you'll both keep doing reactions together. I'm ready to subscribe! 💙 Have a fantastic holiday season
@28:45 think of the beauty of the fact that we exhale a gas toxic to people and animals but is needed by plants to survive and plants emit the oxygen we need.
Stella and Hayley PLEASE keep going as a reaction duo. You are so fantastic to watch. Don't see this as the end, see it as the beginning of a new chapter and a fantastic opportunity. Sending you both tons of love and strength ❤️
I like your question about maintaining dramatic tension when we have a known (i.e., real) story. Historical fiction (& film) is full of this sort of technical problem, and it's fascinating to see how various authors/directors handle it. Mary Renault, for example, often assumes that her reader *does* know the outcome, and uses obvious foreshadowing and Easter eggs to play with that knowledge.
I really enjoyed your reactions. I hope you don't mind my saying so, but I wish Stella and Haley (SP?) Had your own reaction channel so that I could watch you both a little more often. Just so you know, this movie is very historically accurate. Some of the dialogue was changed a little for dramatic effect. Thank you both again.
When this movie was in theaters, McDonalds had a happy meal collectable, or you could just buy it all at once of the Apollo 13 rocket. It was in 4-5 pieces and you added stickers to it. I still have it somewhere and I believe there are Pogs still in it LOL
If you ever see any of the actual footage, Ed Harris looks a lot like the real Gene Kranz. They did such a great job of casting for this movie. Loved your reactions.
So Deke Slayton, the NASA guy that told Jim Lovell about Ken Mattingly's measles issue, was one of the original Mercury 7 astronauts but during training it was discovered that he had an undiagnosed atrial fibrilation isue that caused him to pass out when he was subjected to extreme centrifugal forces. As a result Deke was made astronaut liaison precisely to handle such as task as informing a mission commander just days before a scheduled launch that one of his crew had been exposed to a childhood disease that put that crew member and the entire mission at risk. In 1975 thanks to advances in drug therapies Donald K "Deke" Slayton realized his ambition to fly a rocket into space as the docking module pilot on the first JOINT USA-USSR space mission.
Marilyn Lovell passed away this year at the age of 93. On another note; I hope Stella and Hayley continue to react to films once White Noise Reacts channel ends.
I think they did a fantastic job telling this remarkable true story of ingenuity, determination and survival. It's so strange that by the Apollo 13 mission TV networks didn't think they'd get enough viewers to bother broadcasting it. Seriously? Take a break, but don't give up on Space movies ladies. Have either of you seen The Martian with Matt Damon? It’s pretty realistic, but does a very good job explaining the technical moments and is very entertaining, funny and heartwarming. Highly recommend it. Also Stella and Hayley like many fans I hope you ladies can possibly continue reactions after White Noise reacts ends.
The Apollo Guidance Computer was decades ahead of its time. It's amazing that some people think that it and many more marvels were invented to fake the moon landing. The AGC in particular is unbelievable. You can go watch videos of older women literally weaving the code into the memory modules that made the navigation and landing possible.
The modern rockets that actually manage to land themselves are indeed fancy, but technically the OG way of having disposible staging is still the most effective way to get to orbit, with the others you have all that weight at takeoff to carry spare fuel to then land again, with the disposable stages you can burn all the fuel you took with you and get the maximum value out of it. It's a tossup between saving the raw materials of the rocket to use again, or using every ounce of energy of the rocket fuel to propel you beyond Earth orbit, for NASA's planned Moon and Mars missions they still want maximum use of the propellant while low earth orbit smaller satellites it's often preferable to reuse the rocket for quick turnaround of multiple missions.
Fuel is cheap, compared to the cost of tanks, engines, and plumbing. It's much more efficient in the long run to make the rocket a little bigger and keep reusing it, than it is to keep having to build a whole new one every time.
Aw I'm going to miss you two so much, I really do hope you carry on with your own channel perhaps. You're both so intelligent and thoughtful, and have a theater/performance/writing perspective on these stories that's truly priceless. I *LOVED* this movie growing up as a little girl... would sit in the living room, eating pizza and making space LEGOs while my poor parents put up with me. Not "Winnie the Pooh," on loop, but The Black Hole, Apollo 13, and NOVA's Hubble Space Telescope documentary. A lot of the zero-G footage in this was actually filmed in the zero-G "Vomit Comet" plane, so any shots where you can't figure how they did that with wirework (especially with Mid-90s CGI) were done in real simulated zero-G. Freefall planes.
LOVE you two now, for the first time ever, you're doing one of the best movies of all time! Excited to watch!! Watching the PREMIERE Now! :) Yes, Bryce Dallas Howard has a cameo - as does Ron's mom (who plays Jim Lovell's mom) and his brother- who is in all his movies. And not only real events, but all the news footage is ACTUAL
Ditto those who hope you continue reactions. As for the film, that's just the way I remember it happening. The TV footage was real. I was 13 at the time, and because the space program was America's greatest endeavor, there was constant coverage when something happened. It was not a question of hiding what was happening. Everyone cared. And as for commercial space flights - screw that. This should be representative of the world's greatest aspirations, not a chance for some jerk to make a buck off of it.
13:40 - no offense, but I watched this movie as a 7 year old w/ zero experience nor knowledge of space travel let alone NASA jargon . I understood the context just fine. Especially the part where Kevin Bacon's character mixed the 02 tanks and thats what caused the incident. I had no idea what 02 was back at that age lol
Marilyn did get her ring back and lived to be 93, passing away this year (2023). Ken Mattingly also died this year aged 87. Jim is now 95 and Fred is 90.
So only a few of Ron Howard's family in this one. His mother (Jean Speegle Howard) played Grandma Lovell but she did have to audition with Ron for the role. His Brother Clint was the EECOM controller in the glasses. Their Father, Rance played the Father/Reverend at re-entry. Partner Cheryl was at the launch and Bryce-Dallas was the "Girl in the Yellow Dress"
Having Ed Harris is _essential_ when making a film about astronauts (The Right Stuff, Apollo 13) or a film where people look like astronauts (The Abyss).
Stella PLEASE don’t stop doing reactions. I asked Santa to give me a Stella reaction channel but he’s really busy and probably doesn’t take last minute requests from 37 year olds so if you can help him out in making my Christmas dream come true, I would greatly appreciate it. 🎅 🎄
What is your favorite movie based off of a real event?
"DOWNFALL" (2004).
World trade Centre 2006 - Nicolas cage. Definitely a tear jerker and a well done movie 🍿
Close Encounters of the Third Kind. 😜
Also, there's one genre not alot of people have done, natural disaster movie reactions. 🌊
The Big Short
All of us hope that the two of you keep your reactions going beyond the end of White Noise.
Yes please!!!
They are the biggest reason I watch.
I totally agree. Stella and Haley, please keep going after Jan. 1.
I agree
Hell yeah, I'd sigh up day one ladies.
You girls should create your own channel. It will such a shame to lose you girls along with the boys.
Yeah I'll miss you guys too
Is that their plan?
They should call their channel Grey Noise Reacts.. there is a thing called grey noise and also grey can be considered as a "spin-off" color of white. Either way I'm subbing when they create their channel.
There is also pink and brown noise no joke
@@kateflanagan9355 hell ya! I put that ish on when I'm tryna relax or sleep!
It's hard to believe that this is one of the final girls reacts videos on the channel. I'll miss this, and I hope that one day you two continue making reactions. I wish you well either way.
*_IKR? Can’t the ladies continue their own react channel without the guys? I’d watch that!_*
@@daniellanctot6548same
Only a few more reactions left
@@daniellanctot6548 I would watch the heck out of that! Hayley and Stella have been such a great addition to the channel and I hope we will get more of their reactions and commentary in the future. 🤞
Definitely would enjoy the two of you continuing if you had any interest in doing so
Everything in this movie was real except for the astronauts arguing between themselves, that was just added for movie drama. A lot of the script is actually word for word with what was said in real life.
The whole angle of would Swigert be able to dock the LM was also for dramatic purposes.
I've listened to the actual NASA tapes of this whole event. They were so damn cool and collective it was like an every day thing. Oh yeah, by the way, Houston we have a problem...
I can... understand it I guess, it''s not as grievous like other "based on true stories" movies have made such as changing nationalities of people (or ships) for no good reason. I guess the idea here is that the audience wouldn't be able to identify with three cool headed people doing math. Or something.
Well they omitted the role Glynn Lunney played; Ken Mattengly said he was the real leader in the control room, and it was he who brought calm to the situation. He was chief flight after the disaster occurred, and a lot of the critical decisions went through him. Im not undermining Gene Kranz, and i get that Ron Howard probably didnt want a too many chiefs situation steering focus from Ed Harris character, but its not accurate.
The argument scenes always confused me. I couldn't figure out what they were fighting about. I was glad when I found out that they were just made up.
The navy captain shaking Hanks hand at 43:55 is the real Jim Lovell.
Yes it is
I was checking to see if someone mentioned that.
I love things like that…. And the real Marilyn Lovell is shown in the launch scene. She’s a dark headed lady they make a specific short shot of. Also, the lady playing Lovells Mom is Ronnie Howard’s Mom and the priest sitting with the family at the end is his Dad. Howard’s brother is one of the people in the control room….
I read someplace that NASA was so impressed by the launch footage that they actually thought it was actual footage from them .
I used to be a NASA affiliated museum curator, I did a million presentations on various topics, including Apollo 13. I can tell you that Fred Haise told me that most of the movie is accurate, though he was annoyed at how they introduced some controversy between the crew because Hollyweird feared that the public wouldn’t understand how professionals show stress, but he enjoyed the movie.
That "Mom, you're squishing me" line is so real though. It's exactly the kind of little detail you'd see in that kind of moment, as the mom subconsciously holds her kids tight while also holding her own tension.
There wasn't a bad actor in this movie, even the children. There was never a point where an actor's acting pulled me out of the drama. I was nearly breathless all the way until the end, even though I knew they lived.
I will believe to my dying day that Ron Howard was robbed of the Best Director Oscar for this movie. We know how this story ended, yet he created one of the most riveting movies ever, despite that. Amazing feat. I was 12, and a big fan of the space program, and this mission. It was an agonizing week, because many of us also remembered Apollo 1.
I always think of the Challenger explosion when Apollo 13 takes off and since it happened the black out always makes me think of Columbia and how for Columbia there was nothing but silence.
I was only 7 but I do still remember my Dad coming into my bedroom and telling me that the astronauts weren't going to land on the moon because an oxygen tank exploded. I was very disappointed and thought that they should land anyway. I have no other memories of the event. And I definitely agree about the Oscars. To this day, I refuse to watch Braveheart.
Well at least he won an Oscar for Beautiful Mind
Ron Howard’s entire family is in this film.
His father Rance is the priest seen in the watch party at the end of the film,
His mother Jean plays the role of Blanche (Jim Lovell’s mother)
Ron’s brother Clint plays the role of Sy Liebgott (balding coke bottle glasses flight controller )
Bryce Dallas is Girl In Yellow Dress
*Stella* "This is one of those professions where being a perfectionist is GREAT." As an engineer for NASA on the Artemis program - can confirm. Lol. This movie does a great job at showing what we do as engineers and Flight Controllers. One of my inspirations for my career.

Actually the Saturn V was a three-stage rocket. Each stage had a different rocket motor design and fuel system. Very complicated LOL
The movie Hidden figures explained as well and covered what was left out of the story.
if you're planning on starting your own channel, however many people that may be, I will definitely see you there! Good luck, and big smiles, whatever you choose to do. Thank you all for the vids ☺️
“Was it the door?” always always always gets me. This movie is perfection in all the ways the word is used.
I had just turned 9 when Apollo 11 landed on the moon and I can still remember it. Where I was, who was with me, everything. I also remember Apollo 13 and how we prayed for their safe return.
I hope you two keep the reactions going. Just announce it and you'll have a subscriber and patreon from me.
Same.👍
The weightless effects were practical effects filmed in an aircraft affectionately known as the Vomit Comet. The aircraft flies in a parabolic arc, starting in a 45 degree climb, and then peaking before going into a 45 degree dive, much like a roller coaster. For around 25 seconds a near 0 g environment is produced. With only being able to get 25 seconds of footage at a time one can imagine how many times they had to ride the parabola to get all the scenes they needed.
Over 600.
While you are seeing a lot of chaos in Mission Control, you are not seeing panic. The astronauts had to be military test pilots to even be chosen for the program and the people in Houston were much the same. I remember watching when this happened, and my dad talking me through everything that was being done. However, he did say that Tom Hanks had more anxiety in his voice than Jim Lovell had when he told Mission Control, "Houston, we have a problem."
From what I hear, even the bickering scenes aboard the Apollo 13 were inserted into the movie for dramatic purposes because the actual astronauts kept their cool the whole time.
You guys are starting your own channel right? You don't need the boys! xD
** Not that I don't love the boys, I just think one channel isn't big enough for you all!
It's super interesting hearing the actual recording of the real incident, it's a testament to the nature of test pilot recruitment and pilot/astronaut training when you realise how level headed and calm they were.
As a space geek I loved all the technical talk. This movie is so accurate, it's almost a documentary.
I did like the non-technical reaction. Neil deGrasse Tyson said you're essentially strapping yourself into an ICBM on crack. True. The girls pointed out it's pretty much riding a train of one night stands. Each section of the rocket, use it then lose it. Also true. Interesting ways of looking at the project.
I was 13 when that happened. All the t.v. shots were real. They did tell us stuff when it happened, and yes, all the world was watching.
As many have already intimated, I really hope you two continue to make content on here, whether taking over this channel or starting your own. You have a guaranteed audience that will follow you over.
Don't tell the guys...but I only really watch your videos 😂
👀👀
Ditto😂
Same. I really look forward to Saturday night.
Ditto
SAMEE! I found this channel becuz their reaction to the green mile and stayed for their reaction of last of us. I really like their different perspective and take on things so I hope they keep doing it on their own in some capacity.
This was based on a book by Jim Lovell, and he also made a cameo at the end. Tom Hanks shakes hands with the captain at the end in white with hat, that was him❤❤
About 90-95% of this movie portrays real events.
A few small bits were altered to add more tension and drama, but overall this is one of the most accurate "based on real events" ever made.
37:44 Fun fact: There were actually _more_ things that went wrong on the actual flight than were presented in the movie. The writers had to cut out some problems because they didn't think it would be believable.
Screenwriters did the same thing with The Iron Claw
I really enjoy both of your reactions to these films. I know that there has been talk about closing down this channel but I would highly recommend that you ladies continue reacting either on this channel or create your own. Food for thought. Keep up the good work I enjoy your content.
There has been a community post made about this
@@whitenoisereacts I see that. It’s great you guys are considering continuing in one form or the other. I know I speak for everyone when I say we really want you to continue reacting. You are easily the best reactors on RUclips.
🙏🙏🙏Prayer thread that Stella and Haley keep reacting🙏🙏🙏
Just made a community post about this
@@whitenoisereacts Christ McAuliffe.I touch the future. I teach ! 😒
Needless to say, much of the astronauts' and the Mission Controllers' dialogue is specifically designed to help audiences what is happening. In real life, very little needed to be explained to anyone directly involved. These are some of the smartest people on and off the planet. It was a flurry of acronyms, abbreviations, and math. As for historical accuracy, well, for the most part, it's VERY accurate.
Based on the incredible true story of the Apollo 13 Mission to the moon that turned from a failure into a story of survival.
Nominated for 9 Oscars including Best Picture, but won for Best Film Editing and Best Sound Editing.
In addition to "Sully" (2016), Tom Hanks was in the true story movies "Captain Phillips" (2013), "Charlie Wilson's War" (2007), and "A League of their Own" (1992); and was producer for the 12 episode miniseries "From The Earth To The Moon" (1998) about the Mercury, Gemini, & Apollo programs.
Hanks and Spielberg produced "Band of Brothers" for HBO as well following "Saving Private Ryan". Hanks also directed episode 5 ("Crossroads"), while his son Colin played a new lieutenant in Episode 8 ("The Last Patrol").
@@JDChengit’s incredible that he was just a comedian in the 80s, But in the 90s he became an epic dramatic actor. How often does that happen with actors
@@nsasupporter7557
As John Barrymore reportedly said on his deathbed:
"Dying is easy. Comedy is hard."
Once you understand what makes people laugh (usually based in emotional pain or embarrassment) it's much easier to portray drama.
The overhead projector failing on Gene Krantz was a fun and clever detail. It enhanced our sense of technoology failing us and us having to rely on good ol' human ingenuity. Which is exactly what this scene (and several others) was all about.
The actual quote is "Houston, we've had a problem."
The movie was pretty accurate to real life events, with small changes for drama or to communicate what was happening to the audience, but things like having to figure out how to put a square filter in a round hole, losing the wedding ring, the "NO!" note, etc. did actually happen.
With as many things that went wrong, this movie showed how people working together can overcome a huge number of barriers and a gigantic amount of bad luck.
Impressed with your reaction - too young to really understand the era, the attitudes, the science of the times, yet you were right on top of everything and followed the flow of the movie so well… great job !
The famous line was really “Houston, we’ve HAD a problem” but the writers thought that Houston, we HAVE a problem” sounded more immediate and urgent.
The weightlessness scenes were filmed in a special plane nicknamed the Vomit Comet, that NASA uses for training. Each flight consists of a series of steep rises and dives that simulate weightlessness for about 25 seconds. Those scenes were shot during dozens of flights, 25 seconds at a time.
"Why are they reporting this? " This is the way the news used to be reported, not reporting what ppl wanted to hear and without bias.
That tool at 20:36 they were using to check the math is called a slide rule. It's what we used before we had portable calculators. My dad graduated from engineering school in the 60s and I still have his with the leather case.
Ed Harris is a great actor that has been in a bunch of good stuff. For a lighthearted movie, I liked "Milk Money" (1994) starring him and Melanie Griffith. My favorite performance of his in in James Cameron's "The Abyss" (1989) which is like an underwater space movie. When you're ready to go back to up into space, try "Space Camp" (1986). This adventurous movie stars young up-and-comers: Lea Thompson, Kelly Preston, Tate Donovan and Joaquin Phoenix. It didn't catch on because it was released months after the NASA Shuttle Challenger tragedy in 1986. I first saw it when I was around ten years old, and I've always liked it.
Yes, he’s a great character actor. He was in Truman Show, The Rock, History of Violence etc
Please tell me you two are making your own channel or something. Plz

@@whitenoisereactsLove to see it.
And never say no about returning. I think after the craziness of the wedding dies down you will naturally come back to it. Going to be plenty of stuff to react to now that all of the strikes are done and productions have all started back up.
I came here to say this too. I’ve always liked the boys but the girls have great reactions and are a pleasure to watch too!
this is probably my favorite "space movie" - excluding the science fiction greats since this is not science fiction - and I remember seeing this in theaters with my dad who was still working as an aerospace engineer at the time (he started his career during the peak of the space race so these stories and particularly the engineering side and problem solving hit close to home for him) and what a movie theater experience it was. Very glad to have been able to experience this film again with you two even though it did not hit as hard for the both of you because of the technical babble (it can be overwhelming for even those who get it).
Really hope to continue the reaction journey with you both in the future. Sincerely, the addition of your voices to the White Noise channel was perfection.
When I first saw this, I knew the story inside out already. On a technical level, that is. I was absolutely not prepared for the human side. It hit me hard, and I cried a lot. Wonderful movie, doing a fantastic job of covering the technical side well enough, while being engaging, and putting the human side front and center.
11/10 rewatch often.
This was a pretty accurate retelling of the Apollo 13 mission. You're right in noticing that the impact of the smallest details played such a big role in the outcome of these missions. They do not mention it in this film but the death of the Apollo 1 crew happened because of a spark caused by friction of velcro in 100% oxygen in the capsule. How could anyone predict that? In this movie, it's something that happened as the crew capsule was being manufactured, that resulted in the explosion months later. If you want to see an amazing series (12 parts) check out Tom Hanks HBO production From the Earth to the Moon. Its about the more human stories that led to our successful moon missions. Highly recommend!
Also on Apollo 1, the Capsule door upened inwards - not outwards, so when the fire erupted, nobody could open the door due to the pressure build up inside the capsule.
Fun Fact: Bryce Dallas Howard is in the yellow sundress when Marilyn comes to see Jim off the night before the launch and Jim Lovell himself plays the captain welcoming the Apollo 13 crew back to Earth at the end of the film
Speaking of the “Medical Mutiny” scene, a similar event occurred on the ISS in the early 2000s. The crew was working 16 shifts to get the station online. However, a few days into the mission, they shut off their radio and didn’t turn it back on for 24-26 hours, idk. They spent that time resting and enjoying the view. When they turned the radio back on Mission Control decided to break down their shifts so they could get some more time to themselves.
That was Skylab - the following program in the 70’s after Apollo ended. The crew did turn off the radio for a day due to overwork.
NASA learned a lesson then and we made sure the ISS crew had time off each day.
@@paratus04 @Fuzz32 - Wally Schirra also had a cold during Apollo 7 - and fought with the ground controllers because of it. Following that contention, all 3 Apollo 7 astronauts (Schirra, Donn Eisle, and Walter Cunningham) never flew in space again - just like the Skylab 4 "mutineers".
It's important to note that all the arguing and tension between the crew is FALSE. Hollywood added it for drama, they all worked together seamlessly. Also, Mariyln really did lose her wedding ring as shown in the movie. Also, the captain of the US carrier was the real Jim Lovell.
Ron Howard wanted Mr. Lovell to wear 1-star (O-7) admiral's rank (that being what the "captain" of a major ship like an aircraft carrier would be), but Mr. Lovell flatly refused, saying "I only made it to Captain when I was in the Navy, and I will not wear anything else." So he wore his eagles (O-6).
I think the argument scene was intended to show the effects of the elevated CO2 on their minds.
for the record, the guys of the apollo 13 mission still hold the world record for "Furthest Distance from Earth"
Going to miss you girls! Your reactions are always epic and informative!
I noticed the two of you being very concerned about the oxygen. To clarify, losing the oxygen tank was not a problem for them to continue to have breathable air; their water convertors can more than handle that. Losing the oxygen is a fuel problem, and for them not to have enough fuel to make it back home.
A couple interesting facts. The real Jim Lovell is on the ship at the end of the movie. Tom Hanks salutes him and shakes his hand. After this movie, Tom Hanks produced an HBO mini series called From the Earth to the Moon that covers the entire time frame of us going to the.moon. it's a great series to watch.
you both should make your own reaction channels.
I am going to miss you girls. Thanks for sharing your reactions. 🖤
I remember when this movie came out, it was a huge success! My hubby and I adore this movie. I can't even tell you how many times I've seen it. The more you watch, the more it all makes sense and you get more about what is actually going on. After this, Tom Hanks helped produce a mini series on HBO called From Earth to the Moon, that followed the whole Apollo program. They focused on 3 groups of people, like this movie: Nasa and the astronauts, the families at home, and the media and government. Its really interesting and one of the best mini series I've ever watched.
A good follow up series to watch if you haven't seen it is the HBO miniseries "From the Earth to the Moon," which was hosted by Tom Hanks.
You might think that the end when it took them longer to show was just for dramatic effect but that is how it played out or at least close to it (not sure on the precise timing) due to the lack of moon rocks, they did have a different slope where it took them longer than normal to enter the atmosphere.
I'm an astrophysicist , love this movie....it's by far the most realistic space movie ever made .... physics are spot on ... just crazy this actually happened... amazing movie 🎬
12:11 - They lost one of the five engines. They had to decide if they needed to scrub the mission or not. They did some quick math and calculated that the remaining four engines could still get the job done.
The most unrealistic part of this movie was the conflict among the crew. There was no finger-pointing, bickering, or even audible stress from the crew. If they had played their parts as cool as the actual mission, it would've been an incredibly underwhelming film. Listening to the actual audio from the mission is pretty boring unless you're able to understand the discussion and visualize the consequences of success or failure at any given stage.
Pretty much all true story based movies are inaccurate to what actually happened
I'm sure it's probably been mentioned already but, in one of the last scenes the Admiral that Tom Hanks shakes the hand of when they get on the naval ship, was played by the real Jim Lovell.
Such an amazing movie. And I’ll put in another vote for you ladies starting your own channel.
Great reaction, girls. You are the best!
Thank you on reacting to this movie and the interesting thing is that this movie was released in 1995 the year I was born and the performances by Tom Hanks, Ed Harris and the late Bill Paxton along with the music and score by James Horner is phenomenal.
It’s hard to say what’s to come following Hayley and Stella’s reaction to _Before Sunrise_ and the next films of the _Before_ Trilogy, but I definitely think they should still continue doing reactions together wether with Nobu on the Anime Reacts Channel, or their own new RUclips reaction channel, their just too good to not let them go to waist so hopefully the girls will get to create their own reactions channel to react to more films including the critically acclaimed classic films and recent movies and also join alongside Nobu reacting to several Animated/Anime movies and shows on the Anime Reacts Channel (that will be under new management).
What impresses me the most is the things like them double checking math done by hand in real time. You know, things that even highly educated people don't do anymore because computers.
The funny thing (to me) is that they removed a few events that actually happened because they felt the audience would feel it was "too much" and that no one could have overcome that much. Also, they had to "punch up" the stress levels of crew to emphasis the stress levels. If you listen to the flight recordings and look at the historical record, the crew and ground control teams where 100% calm and professional the entire time. It is almost boring to listen to until you actually understand what they are talking *about*.
Fun Fact: Ron's brother Clint is also in most of Ron's movies too, in this one he's at the eecom station
So is his daughter Bryce Dallas Howard, she always plays a background character
I was 3 years old in 1970, so of course I didn't understand what was happening, but one of my earliest memories is EVERYONE glued to the TV or radio that week...
I was 8 when this happened. My generation wanted to be astronauts when we grew up. The current generation wants to be social media influencers. Times have changed.
25:10 "He's a good leader"
Gene Kranz was one of the very best Chief Flight Directors NASA ever had.
Hi ladies!! I love your reactions! I know the channel is shutting down soon, but I really hope you'll both keep doing reactions together. I'm ready to subscribe! 💙 Have a fantastic holiday season
Please continue with your own channel!!! I love reacts with you two
I remember every news report. I was 14 years old. Everything happened exactly as this movie portrayed
@28:45 think of the beauty of the fact that we exhale a gas toxic to people and animals but is needed by plants to survive and plants emit the oxygen we need.
Stella and Hayley PLEASE keep going as a reaction duo. You are so fantastic to watch. Don't see this as the end, see it as the beginning of a new chapter and a fantastic opportunity. Sending you both tons of love and strength ❤️
I like your question about maintaining dramatic tension when we have a known (i.e., real) story. Historical fiction (& film) is full of this sort of technical problem, and it's fascinating to see how various authors/directors handle it. Mary Renault, for example, often assumes that her reader *does* know the outcome, and uses obvious foreshadowing and Easter eggs to play with that knowledge.
I really enjoyed your reactions. I hope you don't mind my saying so, but I wish Stella and Haley (SP?) Had your own reaction channel so that I could watch you both a little more often. Just so you know, this movie is very historically accurate. Some of the dialogue was changed a little for dramatic effect. Thank you both again.
When this movie was in theaters, McDonalds had a happy meal collectable, or you could just buy it all at once of the Apollo 13 rocket. It was in 4-5 pieces and you added stickers to it. I still have it somewhere and I believe there are Pogs still in it LOL
If you ever see any of the actual footage, Ed Harris looks a lot like the real Gene Kranz. They did such a great job of casting for this movie. Loved your reactions.
You 2 need to start your own reaction channel..I love watching you guys
I hope you two consider continuing to react. I really appreciate your takes and it'd be a shame to lose you if you wanted to continue!
So Deke Slayton, the NASA guy that told Jim Lovell about Ken Mattingly's measles issue, was one of the original Mercury 7 astronauts but during training it was discovered that he had an undiagnosed atrial fibrilation isue that caused him to pass out when he was subjected to extreme centrifugal forces. As a result Deke was made astronaut liaison precisely to handle such as task as informing a mission commander just days before a scheduled launch that one of his crew had been exposed to a childhood disease that put that crew member and the entire mission at risk. In 1975 thanks to advances in drug therapies Donald K "Deke" Slayton realized his ambition to fly a rocket into space as the docking module pilot on the first JOINT USA-USSR space mission.
Sad to hear the channel is ending. Hoping you two keep going.
I hope so too,Hailey and Stella are great,they really should create their own channel,I would absolutely follow them.
Marilyn Lovell passed away this year at the age of 93. On another note; I hope Stella and Hayley continue to react to films once White Noise Reacts channel ends.
Function of a free press in a competitive ratings system, the press is going to report information even if it is unpleasant.
I think they did a fantastic job telling this remarkable true story of ingenuity, determination and survival.
It's so strange that by the Apollo 13 mission TV networks didn't think they'd get enough viewers to bother broadcasting it. Seriously?
Take a break, but don't give up on Space movies ladies.
Have either of you seen The Martian with Matt Damon?
It’s pretty realistic, but does a very good job explaining the technical moments and is very entertaining, funny and heartwarming. Highly recommend it.
Also Stella and Hayley like many fans I hope you ladies can possibly continue reactions after White Noise reacts ends.
I'm a huge dork about film soundtracks, and this one is a favorite. Gorgeous score.
Great as always... Hoping you two keep going with your reactions!
The Apollo Guidance Computer was decades ahead of its time. It's amazing that some people think that it and many more marvels were invented to fake the moon landing. The AGC in particular is unbelievable. You can go watch videos of older women literally weaving the code into the memory modules that made the navigation and landing possible.
The modern rockets that actually manage to land themselves are indeed fancy, but technically the OG way of having disposible staging is still the most effective way to get to orbit, with the others you have all that weight at takeoff to carry spare fuel to then land again, with the disposable stages you can burn all the fuel you took with you and get the maximum value out of it.
It's a tossup between saving the raw materials of the rocket to use again, or using every ounce of energy of the rocket fuel to propel you beyond Earth orbit, for NASA's planned Moon and Mars missions they still want maximum use of the propellant while low earth orbit smaller satellites it's often preferable to reuse the rocket for quick turnaround of multiple missions.
Fuel is cheap, compared to the cost of tanks, engines, and plumbing. It's much more efficient in the long run to make the rocket a little bigger and keep reusing it, than it is to keep having to build a whole new one every time.
hope you two start your own channel or something
Made a community post about this
Aw I'm going to miss you two so much, I really do hope you carry on with your own channel perhaps. You're both so intelligent and thoughtful, and have a theater/performance/writing perspective on these stories that's truly priceless.
I *LOVED* this movie growing up as a little girl... would sit in the living room, eating pizza and making space LEGOs while my poor parents put up with me. Not "Winnie the Pooh," on loop, but The Black Hole, Apollo 13, and NOVA's Hubble Space Telescope documentary. A lot of the zero-G footage in this was actually filmed in the zero-G "Vomit Comet" plane, so any shots where you can't figure how they did that with wirework (especially with Mid-90s CGI) were done in real simulated zero-G. Freefall planes.
Ron Howard made a point of doing every one of the shots of Apollo 13 in the studio, rather than using any stock film from the launch.
I watched a PBS documentary about the mission years b4 the movie came out and can say it's pretty accurate. Also great reaction again from u guys 👍👌
LOVE you two now, for the first time ever, you're doing one of the best movies of all time! Excited to watch!! Watching the PREMIERE Now! :) Yes, Bryce Dallas Howard has a cameo - as does Ron's mom (who plays Jim Lovell's mom) and his brother- who is in all his movies. And not only real events, but all the news footage is ACTUAL
Ron Howard's father played the priest too.
Ditto those who hope you continue reactions. As for the film, that's just the way I remember it happening. The TV footage was real. I was 13 at the time, and because the space program was America's greatest endeavor, there was constant coverage when something happened. It was not a question of hiding what was happening. Everyone cared. And as for commercial space flights - screw that. This should be representative of the world's greatest aspirations, not a chance for some jerk to make a buck off of it.
13:40 - no offense, but I watched this movie as a 7 year old w/ zero experience nor knowledge of space travel let alone NASA jargon . I understood the context just fine. Especially the part where Kevin Bacon's character mixed the 02 tanks and thats what caused the incident. I had no idea what 02 was back at that age lol
Marilyn did get her ring back and lived to be 93, passing away this year (2023). Ken Mattingly also died this year aged 87. Jim is now 95 and Fred is 90.
So only a few of Ron Howard's family in this one. His mother (Jean Speegle Howard) played Grandma Lovell but she did have to audition with Ron for the role. His Brother Clint was the EECOM controller in the glasses. Their Father, Rance played the Father/Reverend at re-entry. Partner Cheryl was at the launch and Bryce-Dallas was the "Girl in the Yellow Dress"
Having Ed Harris is _essential_ when making a film about astronauts (The Right Stuff, Apollo 13) or a film where people look like astronauts (The Abyss).
Awesone ceaction to one of the most historical accurate films. Thank you and i hope you continue these great reactions.
Stella PLEASE don’t stop doing reactions. I asked Santa to give me a Stella reaction channel but he’s really busy and probably doesn’t take last minute requests from 37 year olds so if you can help him out in making my Christmas dream come true, I would greatly appreciate it. 🎅 🎄
