When the black pianist in "Green Book" started his tour, at the same time his black sisters were also enduring all kinds of unfair treatment brought about by racial discrimination, even if they were excellent math geniuses, even if they took office at NASA. Three black female engineers have genius math skills, but because of their skin color, they can only live in the computing room for people of color, worrying about their jobs at any time. Being assigned to an important project team because of his outstanding ability, he still does not get the respect he deserves. He has to use the designated toilets for people of color, drink special coffee for people of color, get no chance to improve his grades, and have to get court approval for classes...

The movie just shows these injustices without any opinions, without stopping here, without painful social accountability, just like three outstanding women, striding forward their work and pursuing their own love, those who are unfair and unfair. Respect didn't stop them, there were complaints, excuses, and accusations, but it was more about encouraging each other and facing the reality calmly, overcoming these obstacles and doing better. In the end, they gained love, achieved achievements, and left their contributions in NASA and in the history of spaceflight that could not be ignored.

Movies based on the deeds of real people, the universality of racial discrimination makes these meritorious figures the hidden figures behind the great achievements, unknown, they are just like the pianists in the Green Book, silent and outstanding. The colleague responsible for the "villain" who resists people of color the most is Sheldon in "The Big Bang Theory". What he conveys is that he is resisting skin color instead of individuals. The character Sheldon plays has always been against skin color. There is a contradiction between the resistance of the school and the respect for the talent of the female academic tyrants. When enough unfairness has piled up, you can tell through the screen that the audience's dissatisfaction and resentment have been mobilized. At this time, the black female school tyrant finally complained. However, after finishing speaking, Li Liyi apologized, and then sat down. Work, without sensationalism, did not even react, the restraint was over, and the response was even more shocking. In addition to work, the marriage proposal paragraph is a line for several young daughters one by one, promising a new life for Xueba's mother, which is warm and not procrastinating, and makes you sincerely admire the heroines for their confident and wonderful lives.

The film also shows the development of the American aerospace industry, teamwork spirit, workplace struggle, sexism and other rich content. The regular design is balanced and comfortable, and there are no scenes of bitterness and hatred, and it is relaxed and beautiful.

    It's easy and even a little funny. The three women are so brave and confident. They face difficulties again and again, and they never get discouraged. They feel that they are far worse than them. But the most touching scene is the part where the male supervisor struggles to smash the sign of the women's bathroom. He's so handsome~ So why don't some men realize how cool it is to fight against ignorance and work with women whose talents are not inferior to their own?

    All sorts of neat, correct biopics of black women are less emotional and conflicting than The Imitation Game.
