Hidden Figures

I am not a fan of historical movies, most of the time i already know what happened, if they are making a movie about someone it's because the protagonist did something great, broke some rules established at the time, and that maybe the rules for all movies or story but in historical movies that is something  obvious before you start the movie. This happened to me at the start, i was no interested and i was not paying real attention. I am not sure about how much time i lost but in some point something interesting happened. I was about white and black bathroom, a horrible and common practice where only white people could use a white bathroom and black people could use black bathrooms. There is no reason for that segregation and in Nasa it was only affecting everyone working there.

Katherine, Mary and Dorothy were 3 capable human computers, they used to do the heavy math calculations needed during the hard, stressful and tiring 60s, in the middle of the cold war, they needed to work in the first man in orbit. This was possibly one of the first time that humanity was relaying so heavily in in human and mechanical computers to keep someone alive,  many things could have gone wrong if the complex calculations needed were not precise enough or wrong killing John Glenn in the process. Fortunately all computers working at Nasa were really talented people and they had all the correct calculations in time, which is the other thing, USA was in the middle of the cold war, the time they had to work was low and there was no opportunity for negotiation. 

They proved not only to Nasa but the entire world that race or gender doesn't matter, they were capable of solving the problems and working in this stressful environment  and that is all that matters.
