Once in a while you get to see a movie (or in this case also a book) which shakes you to the very core…… This movie about three brilliant Afro-Americans just explodes with sensitive and brilliance…
I know it’s a fairly old movie but I am sure many would have given this a miss….
Imagine for the gals they have to undergo discrimination for everything!… Being a girl, being black and trying to take on a man’s (typical) job….
The levels of discrimination is shown with such a casual manner that it shakes you……
The setting is a race by the US and the Russians to put the first person in space and on the moon though that is not the central theme of the story….
It’s surprising that this is happening in a developed country like the US and in one of the advanced work place that is the NASA….Of course the setting is not present times so don’t pick up the arms yet!…. but the scene where Katherine had to walk one mile with her high heels and files just to use the ‘colored’ rest room says a lot about those times……
The period is not so long ago though….
But what wins is the determination and intelligence of these three beautiful ladies who will bring out the best in you (if not then there’s no hope for you!!😀😀)..
