I love how almost shame-faced Paxton&#8217;s character is when he admits to Jim Lovell (Hanks) that his wife is pregnant again. Like: &#8220;Ooops.&#8221; He&#8217;s an embarrassed grade-school kid in that moment, and it&#8217;s a wonderful contrast to the image of him (also true) as an heroic macho astronaut. The scene is also one of those rare scenes &#8211; almost unheard of actually &#8211; where men deal with one another in a personal and care-taking tender way. Hanks hugs him to keep him warm, yes, but STILL. It&#8217;s an intimate and caring act. Raw and personal. It&#8217;s a different kind of relating to one another that goes on in this scene. These two characters are not the hugging type. Have they ever hugged before? No way! They&#8217;re both slightly tentative about it. But it&#8217;s gotta be done. It&#8217;s lovely work from both of them. <\/p>\n<p>RIP Bill Paxton. I can&#8217;t believe it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is one of my favorite scenes in Apollo 13.
