Does anyone know about NASA? What kind of institution is it? It is short for NASA, and on October 24, 2020, Catherine Johnson, an African-American female scientist who had participated in several NASA space programs, calculated the trajectory for the Apollo moon landing.
Hello everyone, I am full of vitality maple leaf flying, welcome to my maple leaf flying said movie guest.
The movie "Hidden Characters" that I want to explain today is closely related to the above protagonists.
Race has always been a topic of conversation in the United States.
Even today, when society is so progressive, we can see many people of other colors entering various fields and achieving various achievements, and this problem still exists. In "The Proud Wife", there are many cases of black race and brown racial discrimination, and in "Nu Hai Submarine General", the legendary story of Carl Brahir, the first black deep-sea diver in the history of the US Navy, was also discriminated against and treated differently by white Americans in the Navy, but he overcame everything by relying on his courage to persist in overcoming difficulties, won everyone's recognition, and also became the first admiral in the United States and received the Medal of Honor.
And today we want to deeply analyze the movie "Hidden Characters", which is directly a story about black women breaking the shackles of racial discrimination and achieving their own achievements.
In such a high-end atmospheric place as NASA, Catherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, three intelligent, hard-working and elegant black women, are destined to make a lot of waves. Their contribution is no less than that of any white man, no less than any man, but we know very little about them until the film turns out.
It's a white world, and discrimination against black people is so obvious.
To go to the toilet, Catherine can only go to the colored toilet, and must run to the West Campus half a mile away, because in addition to the West Campus, there are no colored people toilets in other buildings in NASA; drinking coffee, Catherine is not allowed to touch the coffee pot used by white people, only with a special coffee pot labeled "COLORED"; When the astronauts were welcomed, whites and blacks were clearly divided into two camps; when borrowing books, Dorothy was required to borrow books from the borrowing area of people of color; on the West Campus, Dorothy did the work of supervisor without receiving the corresponding titles and remuneration; and when applying for the engineer training program, Mary had the same bachelor's degree in mathematics and physical science as all engineers, it was not enough, and it was necessary to get more advanced course expansion, but the school that could attend the class was a white school, and blacks could not go. According to Catherine's own recollection, they were indeed arranged to meet the astronauts, but the astronauts were not necessarily as excited as they were, Catherine said: "We watched them with awe." ”
In addition, there is more discrimination in words and eyes.
The plot that impressed me a lot:
When the space agency introduced IBM, Dorothy smelled dangerous, but after she panicked a little, she threw herself into self-taught programming, and successfully started a big machine that white men could not start, and did not just let herself soar, but taught her black girls to program for the first time, and led them to new fields. This forbearance is really courageous and admirable.
There are a few classic lines in the hidden characters of the movie that I really appreciate: Fight for what you want, don't just talk about it. It shows that you have to work hard for what you want in order to achieve what you want.
Learning as much as possible to make us more valuable must reach a certain bottom line for us as human beings to propel us forward. People need to work hard, have the courage to fight, dare to challenge themselves, in order to promote our progress.
It is precisely because of their unremitting spirit of self-improvement and the unique tenacity of women that they have survived stoicly, and even more gracefully.
Catherine said that although she was surrounded by racism, discrimination did not affect her because of her focus on work.
Soon, Catherine's mathematical talent was revealed again, and although these white men hated her skin color and gender, they could not deny her ability to work, that gold would always shine, and Catherine worked in obscurity, constantly calculating. In 2015, 62 years before Catherine entered NASA, she finally ushered in her spring at the age of 98, and finally won her honor: the Oba President Ma awarded Catherine the Freedom Medal. She was the hero behind America's first space manned rocket.
