What didn’t you like?

The film seemed very white savior-y in that it was Al who broke down the bathroom door sign, Ms. Mitchell who finally opened the door to Dorothy to be a supervisor, etc. While the three women did have to work hard on their own and take initiative (e.g. Dorothy simply learning about the IBM herself and setting it up even when she 'wasn't allowed to') the film does glorify white people doing the bare minimum.

3 main characters instead of 1?: Probably to show the similar issues that they faced, and that racial discrimination is a societal/systemic issue rather that puts all individuals in that community at a disadvantage, regardless of qualifications, work ethic etc.

Themes: racial discrimination & inequality, gender discrimination, scientific progress.

Aspects I liked: the film focused on the characters and their feelings, provided a down-up view of the issue. Did not minimize or cast aside their problems. Tackled and displayed personal issues as well as work issues.

I think the film chose to focus on 3 main characters instead of 1 to highlight their different experiences within NASA with discrimination and to show how significant black women were in scientific advancement.

Although it is a true story, I didn't like how the film included fictional characters with a heroic complex. I think that that may have pushed the ideology that racial struggles could only be solved by white people.

maybe outside the scope of the movie but I would want to see a little bit more about how the community viewed the work and position of the main characters. we only get a little taste of their personal lives (Logan)

I liked how they showed women in different departments of NASA and the different steps the three black women had to take independently to reach their goals.

I love how towards the end, all three women in some ways succeeded. It shows that their work paid off.

I didn't really like how the film included certain moments that didn't really happen - while I understand there has to be some creative license, there were some "white savior" moments that I didn't feel were necessary or beneficial to the plot.

I like how the film showed these women as independent, they weren't relying on the help of others to get things done and they weren't reduced to only the role of wives, moms, etc., they were complex characters.

I think it was important that the film focus on more than one character and her acheivements because there are countless black people who contributed so greatly to scientific and social progress that were not recognized at the time; recognizing more people sheds more light on the accomplishments that had been previously hidden.

I think the film focused on three main characters because it allowed them to show different perspectives and show how many different people were involved, not just one.

theme of knowledge as power - knowing algorithms and theories allows katherine to prove herself, although the standard for her intelligence is much higher than it would be for a white person

I love how the film managed to tackle racism and the space race with ease and coherence.

I think the film focused on three main characters as a way of highlighting the overall role black women played in our scientific history, and not make it seem like one woman was an exception.
