In the cinema: “Hidden Figures”: on the rise – daily mirror

send A man to the moon? Absurd! The Poet and singer Gil Scott-Heron. In his Song “Whitey On The Moon” to rapped he the 1970 precarious African-American perspective: “I can’t pay no doctor bill. (but Whitey’s on the moon)/ Ten years from now I’ll be paying still. (while Whitey’s on the moon)".

What is the Rap pioneer who could not pay his bills, while a White man walked on the moon, certainly not knew that a Significant share of the US space program were black women. With the money problems they had to as Nasa-not, with racism and sexism all the more. The shows now for three Oscar-nominated feature film “Hidden Figures – the Unknown heroines” by Theodore Melfi. It is based on the life stories of the Mathematician Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson, the work at the beginning of the Sixties in the Department of “Colored computer”. While the Nasa tries in the Space Race with the Russians to catch up, shot the First man in Orbit, to fight the women also to come out a couple of floors higher office: to get out of your Basement.

A conventional, but still gripping Film

In the centre of the highly talented Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), who is treated as the first woman and first black Person in the important Space Task Group. As you commencement your Job, holds you still for a cleaning, and puts a trash can in the Hand. Otherwise your colleagues behave resistant to nasty. Your skills will be noticed only hesitant and acknowledged. Her boss, Al Harrison (Kevin Costner) eventually begins to trust Johnson, as she always writes back to the correct calculations on the large chalkboard, the chalk, and the white-formulas-strewn green wall Pass are the leitmotifs of this conventional, but still pack film.

Similar to recently in the series “the Good Girls Revolt,” about the emancipation aspirations of the New Yorker magazine staff the stark injustices are the easy-to-understand driving for the patient and bravely fighting for their rights women. There is a clear historical conflict, a formidable fabric. There is something Uplifting has to watch the three “Hidden Figures”-heroines in their ascent, is contextualized by the at the same time on the streets and in the churches of the annual battle of the civil rights movement. There, the husband of Mary Jackson (great:, Janelle Monáe -) active, cross-training visit to a white school, of court.

The most important factor for the Overcoming of discriminatory regulations of nationalism, however. He unites Nasa and the country in the cold war. Since exceptions are also possible in the segregated state of Virginia: Al Harrison realized that Johnson loses every day, valuable time, because she runs to the far away toilet for Black people, he beats the toilet sign from the wall. His justification is a humanist: “Here at Nasa, we pee all in the same color.” A nod to “We all bleed the same color” – a realization that, unfortunately, is not arrived yet at all.
