A super-burning film based on historical facts, it is not the bitter and boring and boring of ordinary affirmative movies. It is absolutely politically correct and three views are correct. Tells about the struggles of a group of "hidden figures", a neglected group, NASA female scientists of African descent in the United States.
Racial discrimination is an insult to human dignity, and sex discrimination is a derogation of women. There are three black women in the movie. They are geniuses among geniuses. Their excellence finally awes the people around who wear colored glasses.
Compared with movies of similar themes, "Twelve Years as a Slave" is too heavy. I like this "Hidden Character" and "Help" in 2011. The heavy themes are made with laughter, tears and sunshine. The background of the story was also in the 1960s, which was also an era of severe racial discrimination. Due to the isolation of the living environment and policy regulations, black children could not enter white schools. It was precisely because of the long-term unfair treatment in education. In addition, the low quality of education prevents black youth from competing with whites in society, making it very difficult for blacks who are already discriminated against to find jobs. Most blacks can only engage in occupations that whites do not want to do. However, a small number of well-educated blacks have encountered more unfair treatment in their employment. As Catherine said, with a meager salary, he has to do endless and doubled work. It takes 40 minutes to go to the bathroom every day and go back and forth. In the quarantine toilet specially set up for people of color in the NASA work area, the glass of water must be isolated from the white teapot. Everyone has a look of contempt and disregard. Everyone has dignity, no matter who it is, unless the person already has Servitude. Respect is the basic human dignity these days, and recognition is an affirmation of one's own abilities.
In August 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. led an effective campaign. He delivered a speech on "I Have a Dream" in Washington. The following year, President Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which legally abolished any discrimination based on race, color, religious belief, sex, or nationality in the employment relationship. This is a victory for the civil rights movement. And behind Martin Luther King, how many African-American women like Catherine, Mary, and Dorothy are brave and wise striving for equal rights are working hard to create a just society that confuses black and white and integrates races.
Apart from racism and sexism, this film is still a film about the realization of the personal value of scientists. It is often found in Maxima but not in Bole. Catherine’s boss, the white supervisor, tore off the label on the teapot, smashed the sign of the white women’s bathroom, and lost it. Next sentence, there is no isolated restroom, only an old restroom, our urine is all the same color. Because of someone's appreciation, Catherine's talent was not buried, and she became radiant. Her talents made those who questioned her and looked down on her finally accepted her and asked for advice humbly. The entry of women into the conference room of the Pentagon is also a landmark to break the prejudice. There is also the young Mary Jackson, who eventually became NASA’s first black female engineer. Dorothy led her team to further master IBM computer computing skills and become Black female executive. The two running scenes in the film are very interesting. The previous run was when Catherine ran around to go to the bathroom, and the second was when a white male staff member was out of breath looking for her to review the data and accompany her on the run. In the end, the cup of coffee by the male colleague was also a heart-warming move. At first, he used a strange look, but later he was applauded and affirmed.
Because of the particularity of her job, Catherine has always been a "hidden figure." Her specific achievements are not known to anyone, including relatives and friends. In 2015, in recognition of Catherine’s contribution to the aerospace industry, former U.S. President Barack Obama personally appointed the president The Medal of Freedom, the country's highest honor, was awarded to her, and the story of this legend in the aerospace field is known to the world.
