Talk:Apollo 13 (film)

message: It is not an "historical drama film" either. That implies a completely fictional story set in a well-known period of history, usually with made-up major characters, which might possibly include real historical persons in cameo roles. Perfect example would be Gone With the Wind (film). This would only have been an historical film if Ron Howard had made up astronauts on a fictional Apollo mission. It is a docudrama, period.

replies: text: The commander of Apollo 13, Jim Lovell himself and his wife Marilyn Lovell have stated that the movie is very true to the real event, especially in the audio commentary to the movie that they recorded together (I highly recommend listening to it on the Bluray/DVD if anyone is interested). Who would be a better source than the person who was actually there? EV1TE (talk) 11:31, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

message: I can’t remember if there was a specific consensus as to who would be in the cast images but if we’re just gonna throw in others aside from the main three I feel it defeats its purpose. And disrespect to Harris or Sinise but adding them in, we may as well just add in the entire cast.
The images are there for flourish, like I said years ago. And the selection of Hanks, Bacon and Paxton were because they were playing the astronauts central to the story/event.  Rusted AutoParts 14:52, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree with only including the three - it illustrates a particular and significant group of cast members, just to add some color to the article. The line for inclusion is simply editorial discretion, i.e. there's no rule one way or the other, but I feel that it's sufficient the way it is. --Fru1tbat (talk) 15:03, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

message: I'm holding this line from the cast list:
* Arthur Senzy as SIM 2
This is problematic because Flight controller does not list a "SIM". I did a Google search and failed to find any reference to this position. Also, why is he called "SIM 2", when there is no SIM 1? Also, this is one of the actors not notable enough for a Wikipedia article. JustinTime55 (talk) 17:59, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
