Hidden Figures
Just when on my Programming Language course we had a blog activity about women programmers, we watched this movie (got ya there professor).
I never watched this movie however I always wanted to, it is always interesting to see how people manage to overcome what society imposes, not only do our three protagonist did something outstanding, they did it first when it was considered impossible (and they managed to shut some mouths up).
However, what I most liked of this movie, is that they accomplished all of this, they showed what they were capable of without the need for protesting or showing off, they did it using only their knowledge and their actions. I love when someone accomplishes something simply by doing it, no need for telling everyone what they are doing, their actions spoke for themselves.
I consider this a perfect example of how things are made impossible because we think they are impossible, only when we really are engaged about doing something is that we start to see that such impossible things don't really exist, there is always a way to accomplish something, hard or easy, it is there.
I would really like to see a society where everyone just do what they can do best, without having to reproach about it.
A really good movie, I don't know if I would consider it one of my favorites but one that I would definitely recommend, I'm glad to know that these three women have been well remembered and that their accomplishments are recognized and appreciated. In fact, I'm glad to know that the many things that a lot of women (specifically, programmers and engineers) have accomplished are being recognized and that, even when some of them are gone, have the attention they really deserve after all their struggle.
