According to the BBC, on February 24th, Catherine Johnson, a mathematician of NASA, died at the age of 10 1.
In the film, Catherine, played by Taraji P hansen, has been discriminated against because of her black identity, and it has been difficult for her to integrate into the working environment of all white colleagues. However, relying on her excellent strength, she proved that she could completely meet the data requirements of the space mission team, got the support of her boss Al Harrison (kevin costner), and began to contact the project she really wanted to do.
The film tells the story of how three African-Americans got a place in NASA and won respect in the reality of apartheid and educational inequality.
This kind of story is not uncommon in American movies, but what makes people like Hidden Man is from the perspective of three black women. Their difficulties are not only people of color, but also women and mothers. Only by breaking through these three realistic pressures can they achieve brilliant achievements.
In the era when white women are still fighting for equal rights, they stand out from so many clever heads with their own wisdom: one is an engineer, the other is a mathematician who specializes in satellite orbit calculation, and the other is a supervisor who directs IBM computers.
Summarized as follows:
This movie is cool. The struggle for the rights and interests of the protagonists is not a gesture of grabbing territory, but a firmness of "you can't get rid of me if you don't like me".
This kind of survival, restraint, forbearance and silence in the cracks is a kind of survival wisdom, and it is also based on the ability that others can't copy. Their knowledge did not fight for their own rights and interests, but broke through the barriers of NASA ruled by men and whites. It is this indispensability that makes them invincible and go down in history.
