Salute to these three tenacious and extraordinary African-American women who not only made outstanding contributions to the development of the U.S. aerospace industry in their respective positions, but also had an indelible impact on the process of racial and gender equality. In order to qualify as an engineer, Mary gave a very good speech to the judge, successfully entered an all-white high school, and later became the first female NASA engineer. Dorothy took the initiative to ask Ying to be the director, but was rejected by the rules. She was neither humble nor arrogant. Seeing the historical opportunity, she led black girls to learn computers together, and eventually became the director of IBM Labs, and led a team that included both blacks and whites. Katherine always forbearance in the early stage, even after showing outstanding computing skills, she has swallowed her anger, until Mr. Harrison asked why it took so long to go to the toilet every day, Katherine broke out and released the emotions she had accumulated for a long time. However, Katherine also had her own insistence. When she was told that the operator could not sign the report for the second time, she hesitated for a moment, but she still wrote her name; however, she also compromised, the third time The second time, she hesitated for a moment and did not add her name; at the end of the film, she was also writing a report, this time she hesitated for a moment and wrote her name.
The efforts of the three African-American women to actively seek change, as well as their excellent strength, have gradually won them a change in the attitudes of those around them. Mr.Harrison's attitude towards Katherine changed a little bit; Paul finally stopped reminding Katherine that Katherine could not sign his name after getting the report that Katherine signed his name at the end of the film, and handed Katherine a cup of coffee; Unconsciously domineering, to the point that although he showed kindness to Dorothy, he still had a hint of arrogance, which was pierced by Dorothy rudely but very decently, until he finally showed respect to Dorothy.
I got wet eyes three times while watching the movie, the first time was during the briefing session, Mr. Harrison handed the chalk to Katherine after a long pause, and the camera showed the chalk close-up moment. If Mr.Harrison's previous attitude towards Katherine has changed through Katherine's efforts, in fact, hesitation and doubt have always existed, and this moment after the long pause symbolizes that Mr.Harrison completely trusts Katherine. After Katherine obtained the landing site after a complex calculation, John Glenn expressed his appreciation for Katherine, which made a perfect preparation for the later check of the data before the launch. The second time was when the "Friendship VII" faced the risk of failure of the heat shield. Glenn needed to return early, the spacecraft turned into a fireball and rushed to the earth. The command center called Glenn over and over again. Glenn did not respond, and everyone looked solemn until After more than a dozen times, the location of the spaceship appeared on the tracking platform, and Glenn's clear answer came out. Everyone showed smiles and tears from the heart, and my eyes were wet, applauding for the return of life. The third time is at the end of the film, the film shows the achievements of these three great women in reality, and tears well up in my eyes, paying tribute to their contributions.
Let's talk about the movie scene. There are many scenes of running in the film. In the first half of the film, because there are no black restrooms in the East District, Katherine needs to run to the restroom half a mile away with materials every day. One of them was raining heavily, which was so distressing. Before the launch of "Friendship No. 7", the male staff flew all the way from the East District to the West District to find Katherine. After Katherine completed the calculation, she carried the materials and flew back to the East District with the male staff. There was also a small episode, that is, Katherine was behind the male staff. After that, he passed from the middle of the car in the middle, and then met the male staff. Two kinds of galloping, the former symbolizes division, the latter symbolizes equality. Wonderful.
I like each actor very much, and I prefer the true story of the archetype that each actor represents. There are a lot of echoes in the movie, such as pearls, milk, Mary's class, Dorothy's supervisor position, etc., so the story is relatively complete. However, from the point of view of the film design, there are still some flaws. For example, although Katherine is the absolute protagonist, Mary's role is too small, and how did Dorothy enter the IBM operating room, is it so easy to enter, this security also It’s too bad, even if I get in and can operate it, Dorothy finished operating the system for the first time, the system that had no readings came alive, and the camera gave a close-up. I thought this would be the turning point of Dorothy’s story, but it turned out that there was no aftermath. Arts. In short, the arrangement of the story can be more elaborate.
