I cried several times in the middle, especially the part where Katherine broke out to the supervisor. Black people are not easy, and the prejudice faced by black women is even more unfathomable. I remember a segment where a white woman said to Dorothy, "You know what? I don't actually have sex with you in private." And Dorothy replied, "I'm sure you think you're not prejudiced." Yes, sometimes , In fact, there is no deliberate evil, but prejudice has long become an undetectable habit. And this film, let us see the power of a group of great black women. They used their intelligence, courage and unity to achieve many honors that should have been theirs, and also harvested their love. "You know what? There are no toilets for people of colour, I have to go to another building two kilometers away, and I'm also required to wear an over-the-knee skirt and heeled shoes, and only wear 'simple pearl jewelry' , but I don't have pearls at all! Black wages can't afford pearls! I work so hard, but I can't even touch the public coffee pot in this office!" When I heard Catherine, who had always been silent, finally burst out, I The tears finally stopped. Their success requires not only genius but also courage. Believe in your own courage, the courage to break prejudice, and the courage to fight for equal rights with practical actions. I think since they can do it, we have no reason to run away.

    It takes 40 minutes for Katherine to travel back and forth between the office and the bathroom on high heels, two kilometers from the East Side Space Department to the West Side Computing Group. This is also a path of equal rights full of trials and humiliation, for which black people have walked for nearly 20 years. It was the same journey that helped the United States circumnavigate the Earth three times and land on the moon. Dorothy dissuades her children from approaching the equal rights crowd, but is kicked out of the library because of unfair rights. In the face of equality, no one should hide.

    The main story is compact, and the three heroines have their own stories. Everyone is fighting for the same goal in different ways. The narrative is very flat and straightforward, and the description of the inequality that was not emphasized in the past is not included, but it is more powerful. The second line plot is a bit unconnected, Jim Parson really tried not to play Sheldon, but the role is too similar and it's hard work. The soundtrack is great.
