Themes of Hidden Figures include racism, sexism, and the drive to achieve something. The book chronicles the lives of black women working at NASA as “human computers” who do difficult math by hand and in their heads. It takes place in the 1950s and 1960s. Racism is a major theme in the book.

 I really liked this movie because this film taught me not to discriminate against race, ethnicity, and culture. I, as a woman, should not discriminate against each other, must respect each other, and not belittle their hard work.

I did not like this movie becausein this film there are too many scenes that always demean black women and people.

This movie is informative and practical because taught me to always try despite failure, never get tired to keep learning, always struggle, never to differentiate from one another, and this film teaches that no knowledge is useless or useless, even though the knowledge I have is only a little but can be useful for us and others.

This movie is boring and unorganized becausethe atmosphere of this film is less interesting, there is no big conflict there is only a flat conflict.

Hidden Figures is not that kind of film: It's a story of brilliance, but not about ego. This is a story of struggle and determination, but not about individual glory. Set in 1960s Virginia, the film centers on three pioneering African-American women whose calculations for NASA were integral to several historic space missions, including John Glenn's successful Earth orbit. These women—Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson, and Dorothy Vaughan—are outstanding mathematicians and engineers even though they began their careers in an era of American segregation and faced discrimination at home, at school, and at work.

But Hidden Figures pays homage to its subject by doing the opposite of what many biographies have done in the past—it takes a close look at extraordinary people in the context of community. Directed by Theodore Melfi (St. Vincent) and based on the nonfiction book of the same name by Margot Lee Shetterly, this film celebrates individual courage, but also the way its characters consistently seek to lift others up. They are amazing at what they do, but they are also generous with their time, energy, and patience in a way that feels human, not sacred. By refracting the neglected lives and accomplishments of Johnson, Vaughan, and Jackson through this lens, Hidden Figures manages to be more than just an inspiring history lesson with great performances.

Early on, Hidden Figures made it clear that this was about a trio, not a single heroine. Katherine (played by the shining Taraji P. Henson) is the film's real protagonist and gets the most screen time. But her story is closely intertwined with that of Mary (Janelle Monáe) and Dorothy (Octavia Spencer); the former became NASA's first black female engineer, the latter was a mathematician who became NASA's first African-American manager. (It should be noted that, as a dramatization, the film makes adjustments to the timeline, characters, and events in the book.)

The story of the struggles of the genius African-American mathematicians who played a vital role in the early division of the US space program - NASA, at a time when discrimination was still a major issue.

You must watch this movie because there are so many lessons that can be taken from this film, starting from working hard, never being ashamed of what you have, always being patient, never putting down other people. Do not watch this movie because the story line is too predictable and there are many sensitive scenes that can make the heart hurt. You will like this movie if you like storyline that is not too complicated, not too many players, conflict is not too heavy.
