23:04 the captain who shakes Tom Hanks' hand is the real Jim Lovell.
I really enjoyed your reaction to this. It was so lovely to enjoy your perspective of a movie I am so familiar with.
Thank you Jonathan Edge for picking this movie! Not enough ppl know this story or react to it. Y’all are great! 💚
Tyty :)
I would recommend "The First Man". Really underrated movie that captures the drama of the first landing. Including Neil Armstrong losing his daughter to cancer before the launch and the Apollo 1 fire that was mentioned, where the 3 Astronauts couldn't escape their capsule that basically turned into an oven on the ground, all due to the pure oxygen atmosphere... really dark moment in space exploration, but we did learn a lot from it. Great films.
@@rollomaughfling380 Guy calm the hell down, it's a well known story. All I did was provide context. Nice job whining about a non-issue, troglodyte. There's other comments that go into far more detail on the subject. Why aren't you whining to them about your feelings about what they should or shouldn't say?
@@rollomaughfling380 So that we don’t know how it ends. If you already know they’ll make it out alive, by knowing the story, then the tense scenes won’t really be tense
FUN FACTOID: The naval officer (dressed in white) that Hank's character is shaking hands with, at the 23:03 point in the video, is the real Jim Lovell.
BTW the person Tom Hanks is shaking hands with at 23:04 is the real Jim Lovel, the guy Hanks is portraying in the film.
That's an interesting piece of info!
They wanted to make him higher rank as well, but Lovel would not allow being portrayed with a wrong rank he hadn't been given - iirc.
@@myegyptiandadreacts4824 another great movie your father should react to would be The Green Mile
Haise and Lovell both made a point to say that Swiegert was just as qualified as Mattingly and the portrayal of Swiegert was the only thing they objected to in the film.
Not only that, but Jack Swigert wrote the Emergency Procedures Manual for the Apollo Command/Service Module.
Hear Walter Cronkite and Wally Schirra talk about Jack:

That appears to be a Ron Howard staple -- he got really rolled for his depiction of Max Baer in Cinderella Man. He loves his "Director's Prerogative" approach, apparently.
I think it was done with a meaning of showing that something went wrong and something must have been done wrong. Just gave the wrong impression of Swiegert. I mean if they'd gone fully loyal to events... it'd have been quite a boring movie cuz the audience wouldn't be able to feel the tension of events if it were calm, cool-headed, etc.
@@kinagrill I knew Swigert a little. He was totally professional.
@@MoMoMyPup10 Hollywood staple horses---t. Producers do it for the money, audience expects it. They think no one cares if it's a lie.
23:05 the elderly admiral that Tom Hanks shakes hands with here is the real Jim Lovell, who wrote the book "Lost Moon" about his experience on Apollo 13 which became this movie.
After this movie HBO did a limited series called "From Earth to the Moon" which is filmed in the same style as this movie which I highly recommend. It covers the Apollo program.
A truly wonderful series
There's another good space history movie about the beginning of NASA called "The Right Stuff" (1983) with Ed Harris and covering the Mercury missions. There's also an excellent 12-part miniseries produced by Tom Hanks and Apollo 13 director Ron Howard that's a great companion piece to Apollo 13. Tom hosts each episode and stars in the last one. It's called "From the Earth to the Moon" (1995) about all of the Apollo moon missions, a couple Gemini and one Mercury mission. And it takes over where The Right Stuff ends. You guys would enjoy those and get a lot more details about it all including the Apollo 1 fire.
"When we left Earth: The NASA Missions" is a great documentary miniseries as well spanning the beginning all the way through the Apollo missions.
@@anthonywissell7002 was going to mention this as well.
I used to work at a museum which included some Fred Hayes artifacts, the astronaut Bill Paxton was playing. He told me that they never cursed on the mission. The astronauts believed they would make it back, and wanted nothing in the transcripts which would embarrass them when their families could see those. Hollywood added those because they feared the audience wouldn’t know the situation was serious without some less than professional displays.
The movie is dramatizised for the sake of translating the stress and such of the situation, and yup it were very much a Hollywood choice and I honestly cannot fault them for it... cuz if you've listened to some of the real taped conversation events of the Apollo 13 mission... yeah it was calm, coolheaded and no one went nuts or blamed eachother.
I remember watching the first Moon landing as a child, to this day only 12 humans have ever walked on the moon. The simple calculators you can buy for $1.00 today are more powerful than the computers that flew on those flights. I really enjoy your interactions and I look forward to the next movie!
It still blows my mind that there were physical bits that were weaved into the computers.
It is true that the computers used back in the day weren't powerful compared with today's standards, but I think over time we have exaggerated the comparisons a bit. It is not true that a current pocket calculator is more powerful... actually, we should define what means "power"... the flight in space is surprisingly easy when comes to math, compared with atmospheric flight, because various factors like lift and drag are absent. So, a computer has no need of an enormous computational capability. It need to be stable and to work reliably. And those computers definitely were reliable.
modern calculators can technically be made to allow you to play the original Doom game :p SO yeah, the power in those machines comparatively is insane.
AT 23:04 THE NAVY CAPTAIN THAT IS SHAKING TOM HANK'S HAND IS THE REAL JIM LOVELL!!!
Wow! That’s pretty awesome. I love when the real people meet the actors portraying them. If my dad has known he’d have cried again lol
You guys are great. Just something else that you might not know. If you watch the last part again right after the helicopter lands and the crew walks out. There's a close-up of an Admiral that shakes Tom Hanks hand. That Admiral is actually the real Jim Lovell.
Actually Lovell is wearing Captain stripes in the movie. They wanted him to portray an admiral but he said he retired as a captain and would stay a captain.
Love you guys!!! Love how you and your dad share this with us!
A wonderful movie. Thank you so much for this review. The lady who played Tom Hanks' mother in the movie, the lady at the Nursing Home, was the director's mother. The director's name is Ron Howard.
there were almost riots at our local TV station in Oregon when they did not broadcast their program. a lot more ordinary people were invested in the space race then they figured.
My grandpa worked on 11 and 12. He joked more than once that he got out just in time. He still has a letter and an award from Neil Armstrong to this day.
Awww, sweet dad! 🥰
0:48 Is that Hector meowing in the background? Sounds like a healthy pair of lungs. 1:16 We were in Egypt when the first moon shot was going on, July 1969. We watched the coverage from The Shepherds Hotel in Cairo.
Another interesting fact is that the blackout actually lasted 6 minutes. I'm sure once the 4-minute mark happened, a lot of people thought there was no way they survived. To this day, it is the longest blackout on record.
Degrees of separation, when I was in 9th grade, Astronaut Jack Swigert (command module captain) had two identical twin sons, were were my classmates. This was just after Apollo 13. Manufacturing/assembly defects are hard to prevent (even with Hubble Telescope), but we tried very hard, since even with unmanned missions, on-orbit repair is almost impossible! Robotics can't do what a capable man can do ... Neil Armstrong nearly died twice before he ever left the Earth, and nearly died just before landing on the Moon (see First Man).
Twenty years old during the flight and a movie that can help you feel the anxiety and relief we were feeling back then is one dang good movie.
If you look at pictures of Gene Kranz from back in the 60s and early 70s, he looks a LOT like Ed Harris. Great casting in this case.
While people are recommending minieries and documentaries, I would put in a good word for "Space Race" by the BBC - it's a docudrama series following both the Russian and American space programs.
I like you guys. Your dad always has some very interesting insights.
Love the channel buddies
Thanks for taking the time to shoot edit and post these videos
Stay safe and have a wonderful day
These stories are meant to be shared, THANK YOU 👏👍✌️
I did some digging and some of the scenes where they were upset and angry were for the movie only. They never got that upset because they can't afford to lose their cool in this situation.
The fact that they were able to replace Mattingly with Swigert two days before launch tells you something about US organizations, circa 1970-71.
Even though he was the backup, and didn't get near the Sim time that Mattingly got, he was a perfectly competent replacement.
The high water mark for the US competency was 1970-71, IMO. I've been in the workforce/business world since 1973. Other that the Military-Industrial Complex, everything has gone slowly to Hell since then.
Right now, all of the problems with "nobody wanting to work" and "supply chain" issues are being blamed on COVID. The reality is that these chickens were beginning to come home to roost well before COVID.
5:32 Actually, that was more something that a lot of astronauts of the period - in particular the Mercury Seven astronauts - were known for. Astronauts of the period had quite the reputation as playboys.
Absolutely fantastic and enjoyable reaction. Totally genuine -- this is what a reaction should look like! (but man, hard to hear sometimes)
Thank you for the kind words! ❤️ We started using a mic recently (you won’t see the difference in the very next upload since many reactions were filmed before the mic and are cooking)
Just so you know, the actor who plays the commander, on the aircraft carrier, who shakes Tom Hanks hand, is the REAL James Lovell. The Director, Ron Howard's REAL father plays the Priest, his REAL mother plays Lovell's mother, and his REAL brother plays the flight controller who suggests to the Ed Harris character to close the reactant valves. Thanks. Love, Hope, and Joy.
Please pleaseeee react to shawshank redemption
Deke Slayton, NASA's chief at the time, went to high school with my grandfather, he was super smart back then.
I have been interested in Space since I was a kid. I remember when Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee of Apollo 1 died on the launch pad because they couldn't open the hatch of the space module. I remember watching as Apollo 11 touched down on the moon and Neil Armstrong set foot on it. I also remember being glued to the TV during the drama of Apollo 13. Most of this is true other than the yelling at each other. These men were very professional.
Space is a very dangerous place. I didn't know him well but My Brother in Law Richard Scobee was the commander of the Space Shuttle Challenger.
Apollo 13, launch window were at 13:13 (no shit here), and yes the wife did actually lose her weddingring in the shower the, what, morning before the launch, in the shower.
That must’ve felt like a terribly bad omen to her
@@myegyptiandadreacts4824 Very.
That was fun guys. This movie surprised me as I knew the story of Apollo 13 and it STILL made me anxious as hell lol I guess that's good acting. Look forward to the rest of Band of Brothers. Take care.
Lovely reaction. Glad I found you. ☺️
Firstman is well worth watching as well
Great reaction guys!
Still waiting for you guys to react to Braveheart..... must watch..
If you like astronaut movies, I recommend ‘The Right Stuff’
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
2:18 To me he looks like Gerald Ford
Orbital mechanics are horrible, you have to hit an exact point, at an exact time, in an exact direction at an exact velocity ;-(
hahahaha brilliant dude
Gentlemen, please watch "Failure is not an Option, free on TH-cam. In just 90 minutes, you will learn everything about the space program. An incredible history lesson you will love. It's all there. Enjoy!
