So happy that you enjoyed this movie. I know how much you love sentimental emotion as part of a movie in order to really love it, but to be fair, as accurate as this movie is to the events as they actually happened, the one area that director Ron Howard took dramatic liberty with was the emotionalism of the astronauts. They are professionally trained astronauts, trained to be cool as cucumbers under the worst kind of pressure conditions. In reality they never shouted or lost their tempers with each other, and if you listen to actual recordings of their communications during this disaster, their voices are so calm and a matter-of-fact that you'd never know that anything was wrong without the computer telling you that it was. Some interesting tidbits for you: The real Jim Lovell (the astronaut played by Tom Hanks) served as a technical consultant on this movie and actually has a cameo at the very end on the aircraft carrier. For your enjoyment, here is a brief 2 minute clip of a very heartwarming moment where astronaut Jim Lovell surprises Tom Hanks at his AFI lifetime achievement award ceremony. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=U2kOMm8p4C8 And tidbit number two: although Steven Spielberg didn't direct this movie, he still has his fingerprints on it in a way. Director Ron Howard called Steven up and asked him for ideas on how to film the weightless effects. He didn't want to use wires because he thought it would look fake. (And CGI was in its infancy and would have looked horrible) Steven Spielberg suggested building the set of the interior of the ship on the training plane that astronauts and military guys use that nose dives in the air in order to simulate the effect of weightlessness. So basically anytime you see any of the characters or objects on the rocket floating in the air, what's actually happening in that moment is that the actors are on an airplane that's practically free falling out of the sky.
