Tribute to African-American Heroines

It's the highest-grossing film in North America, and it's really moving and inspiring, based on a true story.

In the 1960s when racial discrimination and segregation were severe in the United States, three African-American women became important members of American aerospace engineering in the 1960s with their self-esteem, self-reliance and self-reliance.

Although the film does not exaggerate the fierce racial struggle, it shows the real life of the apartheid era: the cautious and respectful attitude of black people when they meet the interrogation of white police, and in the forefront of aerospace technology, black women have to walk for 20 minutes. Only colored toilets (in the movie, the heroine runs from one building to another in the rain in high heels to go to the toilet, and finally, the reasonable boss angrily smashes the white-only toilet sign, which is touching), The "colored coffee pot" secretly placed in the office, as well as the cafeteria and the office are all segregated; applicants for engineer qualifications must attend courses in white schools. You can go to school at night.

And these three outstanding black women used redoubled efforts and wisdom in the face of adversity to break through many difficulties, and with outstanding achievements, they finally won respect and became the behind-the-scenes heroes of the American aerospace industry.

They must be paid tribute.

The film was nominated for this year's Academy Award for Best Picture.

    There are so many "boring scientist movies", it's nice to see this one. After reading the book of the same name, I couldn't calm down for a long time, but in the end, the slightly uneventful adaptation was not enough. But this is not enough to be a point of criticism: like ABC's "The Astronaut's Wife", looking back and cherishing the role and power of every woman and ordinary people in the turning point of history, it is not a big love, but it definitely makes me In awe of these lovely, dedicated people.

    Best of the film - true story; worst - Janelle Monáe; most sexist - women have to have family drama; most racist - my male god is too much of a show; most politically correct - Nasa pays white men One-third of their salary allowed black women to send men into space just to compete with the Soviet Union. The most realistic-everyone who thinks "programmers don't look like you" is a compliment, now you know why I don't date you
