I have watched a film called Hidden Figures recently and I think what it presents to the audiences is a perfect source of injustice that our society holds. This is a film that brought tears to my eyes. It tells a true story that took place in NASA in the 1960s: black female scientists overthrew the discrimination against colored people in NASA through their own strength.
In the 1930s of the U.S., a little girl named Catherine surprised her teacher with her amazing grades and her parents were told to suggest skipping grades. She was supposed to be have a good life, but Catherine was left out in the cold because of her skin color. Because she was black, she had to move 120 miles away, where only African-Americans were allowed to attend high school and college. In the days when computer technology was still underdeveloped, large amounts of data calculation required the high-level personnel of the space agency to work out with paper and pen. Katherine became a human computer because of her brilliant brain. She worked with more than 20 black women, including Mary and Dorothy. They had the dullest, most exhausting jobs, and they were scorned at NASA.
The three black women were working and living in the face of discrimination and humiliation, but they made their lives bitter because of this. Instead, they chose to improve themselves with an optimistic and tough attitude, to prove themselves by strength, and to fight for their deserved rights and interests. At the end of the film, the three black women slowly start to get in touch with the work they really want to do, fighting for opportunities in their respective fields, and gradually taking on more and more valuable responsibilities.
I was deeply moved by the efforts of people of color in the United States for equal rights. In the film, the three black women look like the weak. And the leader or the colleague with a good sense of self-superiority looks like the strong. But after a deeper consideration, there is no absolute strength in this world, there is no absolute weakness. We live on the same planet and work in the same corner. If we want to achieve success, the weak may inevitably suffer from unfairness, but the strong must also put aside their sincerity and be fair. In short, we must adapt to each other and cooperate sincerely to achieve great things.
