The career stories of the three women have different focuses, but they all face the common obstacle of skin color. Dorothy is working as a supervisor but does not get the position and salary she deserves. Mary wants to become an engineer but frequently applies for it. Being harassed, Katherine was not trusted to work among a group of white men, and two mountains of sexism and colorism made it difficult for the three women to walk in Nasa.
And they, not only have smart minds, extraordinary talents and talents, but also have strong hearts that are forbearing and brave. They do not complain hysterically about injustice, but they have accumulated a lot. They use excellent work to prove their worth and win respect. To shut up those who despise, this fight against prejudice is silent and powerful.
Most of the time, the film depicts the profound problem of racial discrimination in a light-hearted way. There is only one outbreak in the whole film, that is, when Catherine returned to her work station from the bathroom in the heavy rain, she couldn’t help but be challenged by her boss. After accusing everything, it is not easy for such a smart and excellent black man. Besides Nasa, the situation of more black people at the bottom can be imagined.
Putting the career stories of the three women together with the background of Nasa is even more inspiring. The aerospace industry itself is challenging the unknown, breaking the boundaries of knowledge, and surpassing the limits of human beings, and this nature is exactly in line with the three women, breaking the rules. , being the first to touch the stars. Nasa represents the American dream. Kennedy's speech was just a few sentences, and it made me excited. Behind this, these hidden figures are also chasing dreams, dreams of equal rights, dreams of being recognized and respected.
My favorite picture is a group of black girls walking towards the IBM computer under the leadership of Dorothy. The sense of crisis allows them to learn new skills earlier, and they are justifiably qualified for new jobs. Regardless of skin color, smart and hardworking make every girl in the world. Glowing, capitalized Girls' Power.
Here are a few excerpts from Kennedy's moon landing speech:
For the eyes of the world now look into space, to the moon and to the planets beyond, and we have vowed that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom and peace. We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people.
