Loved it

Rating: 10/10 (7 March 2019)

I think that this movie is amazing, I rewatched it a few times because it's that good. It's a history movie which I like about even more. The plot of the movie based off of historic figures in the NASA program. Specifically Katherine Johnson, Dorthy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson; theses women were geniuses in their field and made it possible for other African American women to be in important roles. Seeing this movie inspired me to do some more research on the three women. To me they were a force to reckoned with, because they wanted change to make it possible for everyone to be who they wanted. Other civil rights movement movies show the the unfairness of what was going on at the time. I appreciate that because the majority of these films don't sugar coat anything. My favorite scene of this film is an example of this. After coming back from the "colored" bathroom, Kathrine Johnson's boss asks her why does it take so long. She replies that she had to go to the bathroom. She adds on that all of the bathrooms in a mile radius of the campus are "white". So she has to go across campus to relieve herself, she also says the rules are ridiculous saying that she can't even afford pearls. Because "colored" people don't even get paid enough, she continues on venting her frustration on the staff that it doesn't help that they can't even refill a coffee pot because they are too afraid to touch it. This scene hit me really hard because I find what they are doing to her is very ridiculous. I was able to connect emotionally with the movie and I think that's important. I totally recommend it to anyone who is thinking about watching it, it's both entertaining and you do learn something.
