The movie "Hidden Figures" tells the story of three dark-skinned women who were finally recognized through their tireless efforts to fight racial prejudice and sexism during their tenure at NASA.

• First of all, the three women in the play have one thing in common: they are smart and hardworking. That was the premise for the three women to enter the space agency.

• Words throughout the film, People of Color. These four words represent strong prejudice and discrimination.

"Don't shame me for never admitting a person of color as a calculator."

"Even the used coffee beans will be despised!"

• The three outstanding women have suffered grievances in the face of prejudice and tried to accept their fate countless times, but in the end their beliefs told them: nothing is impossible! Make yourself reliable, excellent and irreplaceable! True ability will eventually be respected by others!

• The appearance of the large computer IBM in the play gave Dorothy, one of the three women, a great sense of threat: "IBM will make us lose our jobs."

Her choice: go to the library and "steal" a book to teach herself programming. Facing the progress of science and technology, keep learning and become a more valuable person!

Not only did Dorothy arm herself, but as the acting head of a group of dark-skinned female calculators, she took the initiative to train the girls. Eventually, she became the director of IBM, and her girls avoided layoffs and became the first researchers in IBM's division.

• Mary, one of the three women in the play, cannot get into a white school because of her identity as a person of color, so she cannot apply for an engineer position. But even in the face of her husband's disapproval, she still chose to file a complaint with the court: Dare to be the first!

• In the play, NASA is researching space projects. Catherine, one of the three women, has never been despised and disliked. With her excellent mathematical calculation ability, she has been unanimously recognized by the NASA step by step: everything must be ready, and at a critical time, a Soar to the sky!

If you meet someone who truly appreciates you, I believe he will cherish outstanding talents. And most of Bole is also a serious and hard-working person.

•Finally, at the end of the movie, the blood boils: a person has to have a career that he loves all his life. And the love of the strong is 1➕1 is greater than 2. They understand each other's beliefs, they are lovers, they are each other's strong reserve army, and they are also the first team!

This movie made me more determined to keep moving forward and make myself a better person! A trustworthy and reliable person!
