In the movie ‘’ THE HIDEEN FIGURES’’ is a drama / history ,American biographical film directed and written by Theodore Melfi. The inspiring story of the three African – American women working at NASA program in the early 1960s during space race. The movie is about three female that play a role in creating ideas and advancement of technology. it portrays the achievement and struggle faced by these brilliant strong women In a racial segregated society.

In this movie, I genuinely found myself moved by their outstanding performance which displayed emotions by Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson and Katherine Johnson. The three courageous women break down the racial and gender barriers. I am filled with mix feelings. The darkness of racism in hidden figures of how black women experience today’s society . It focuses on the bold, brilliant, and brave protagonist at its core. There is one particularly scene that was so touching, when Katherine was promoted temporary. she was forced to run a long distance to use the ‘’ colored people bathroom’’. the humiliation and injustice she had to faced at that particular moment made me emotional and perplexed given how she was treated, I wasamazed when said’ there is not colored bathroom in this building or outside the west campus is half a mile away, I have to walk to Timbuktu where the elsewhere convenience is situated just to relieve myself, I worked day and night like a dog ‘her strength and poise to speak out her mind by overcoming these obstacles she has faced was remarkable.

 

 

The themes and messages explored in hidden figures is the power of ability to overcome the challenges they faced. Themovie highlights the important aspect of gender determination. it reflect the individuals throughout history due to their races and skin colour. It made me realized the need to continue attributing for equality in society. 

I am deeply connected to this character, considering how powerful the scenes in the movie portray, Mary Jackson need a permission from a judge to attend clasees, she asked the judge ‘out of all the classes which one will make you the first, no matter how frightening the challenge may seem, you should not be afraid to be the first, only make you the first in history books.Mary Jackson dream was to become an engineer, but mary was not attending the classes for requirement for the program. She was working in the same level. She did not share the title with the male counterparts. Her character depicts the gender issue of determination and journey break through into male field. 

In conclusion, hidden figure left the impression of the remarkable achievement of the three women, that accomplisheda struggle of equality and recognition. this is  is a reminder of progress to shape our society. It is quite an inspirational story of valuable lessons thought in history. Our protagonist is MaryJackson who rose to become NASA’s first African American aeronautical Engineer. Kathrine Johnson performs calculations for Apollo 11 mission to the moon and space shuttle. Dorothybecame NASA’s first African American supervisor, as a Fortranspecialist on electronic computing, she was regarded as one of the most brilliant minds at NASA’s.
