The story of geniuses challenging prejudice 'Hidden Figures'


People become stupid enough to be unimaginable if they become prejudiced. There is no way to save those who are in the frame of false perception. Until they realize themselves, they have another form of barbarism. They discriminate against unfair reasons, violate human rights, and do not respect others. It would be fine if the atmosphere of society does not support such barbarism, but what if there were a large number of people with such prejudices?

The film 'Hidden Figures' is based on the American society of the times when there were many racial prejudices. So there are various barbaric social images. There are restrooms for colored and even coffee pots are divided between white and black. Even if they do the same, black people do not get the treatment of a white man, and promotion can not dream. This discrimination continues on buses, on the streets, and in public institutions.

In this age, the three main characters, Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughn and Mary Jackson, are black and female. They work for NASA, where the best people in the United States come together. Catherine was a genius mathematician, Dorothy was a programmer, Mary wanted an engineer, but NASA was not a different situation, so they had to face racial prejudice and discrimination. Could they have overcome all of this and achieved their dreams?

NASA is facing a crisis when Gagarin of the Soviet Union succeeded in the spacewalk when the US and Soviet space rivalry were fierce. NASA enters a new space orbit project but suffers from several challenges. The enemy lies inside rather than outside in all ages. At that time, the United States was anchored in internal irrational prejudices rather than external enemies and the Soviet Union. Catherine, Dorothy, and Mary challenge this boldly.


Al Harrison (Kevin Costner), who was the general manager of the project, begins to see Catharine's skills and start using it. However, he begins to realize that the organization of NASA is too erratic to use the capacity of this black mathematician. She has to use the restroom 800m away from work. Knowing this, he break down the sign of toilet for colored with his own hand. This is the core scene of this movie. What NASA needed in order to utilize Katharine's genius was to apply the very simple common sense of the same person, black or white, to his work.

Since then, Catherine has demonstrated her innate genius to succeed NASA's spacecraft project. Dorothy and Mary also challenge their prejudices in their fields and achieve results. The subject of the movie is the thing we have seen a lot and it is almost obvious, but the size of the touch is rather big. Overcoming prejudice is an unfinished task, and it is a continuing struggle.


Because the subject is so serious, the director seems to have been careful not to treat this material too heavily. Though it is cruelty discrimination, three black women are not so sparse. They are bold and pleasant. They do not stop joking about all kinds of discrimination, they are full of excitement and do not hesitate to love. Is not human's progress made by these people? People who know how to take a cruel reality as a humor. So the feeling after watching the movie is neat. It is a quality movie that can be seen easily.

Lonely Hunter Hunt the Beast 'Wind River'

A barefoot girl runs out of snow. Her lungs, which have been breathed in cold air at a temperature of minus 20 degrees, are ruptured, and the blood that is raised in her heart blocks the airway and the girl dies. At the time of her death, she was not a person. She was just a prey. Wind River is Indian Reservation in the state of Wyoming. Here, a girl, a descendant of the Indians, was chased after being hunted and died. Animal hunting is for survival. So what is human hunting for? Is it for survival? Such a time has already passed. Moreover, the game was a person. If so, this would be the footsteps of ugly greed. Wildlife hunter Corey finds her and remembers 'the incident' three years ago. It is a terrible trauma to him. He confronts the memories of the past that he dislikes even seeing the death of the Indian daughter Natalie. His daughter also died as a prey in the cold. Corey, a professional hunter, knows what it is like to be a prey. Moreover, his ex-wife is also an

The black comedy of life 'Memoir of a Murderer'

Have you ever felt like someone playing with you? You have lived so hard that you did not make a big mistake, but you have not felt like you were tangled up and doing something that seemed to interfere with your work. It may be that a spiteful life is playing with you. There is a time when life comes to play a mischievous mischief. It digs your weak link. And, at a really important moment, it strikes a second. You can confront somebody who should never meet in a moment of life. Now that I'm trying to make some money, your legs may break. Sometimes you try to talk to a girl of your ideal type, but there may be an urgent signal in your belly. Is it called force majeure in this case? Things are twisted to twist. Life often shows such a perverted appearance. It is often like a bloody disgusting person who turns somebody into a difficult situation and turns back to an unpleasant laugh. Why is it so? Do not ask why. Because no one knows why. In the film 'Memoir of a Mur

The real image of violence and barbarism in everyday life 'IT'

There was a mass assault by a middle school student in Busan recently. It was a very horrible and mean thing. It was almost impossible to believe that teenage girls who had just entered puberty did it. Where did their violence come from? Is it human innate cruelty? Or is this society making them? Either way, the fact that such violence has penetrated deep into our daily lives makes us feel frightened. The violence that the little girls committed was very close to us. And the way they treated the weak was so brutal and cruel. This incident has played a role in awakening the danger of daily violence. But people will soon forget it. America's small town, the stage of the movie 'It', is a place where such everyday violence is prevalent. The film begins one day when the rain is heavy and the boy Billy is sending out his brother George. Billy was pitiless. In the living room on the first floor, their detached mother is playing the piano. George is left unprotected to his m
