Although the film Apollo 13 is well respected and liked by astronauts it is not completely accurate. It is said that Ron Howard exaggerated the events simply for the wow factor. One particular thing n the film that wasn't highly accurate was the "lifeboat procedure" and Mattingly actually says "The movie made it appear as if we invested lots of stuff". This tells me that the film uses real fact as a base line and simply though the knowledge of film and audience the director has enabled this and made for a film that excites people. This helps me ti understand further why fiction film about fact changes some of the truth.
