    The document provides a critical analysis of the film Hidden Figures. It summarizes the film's portrayal of three black women who worked at NASA and made significant contributions despite facing gender and racial discrimination. While the film highlights their strength and ability to overcome challenges, it also shows how lack of access to resources like education and money hindered their potential. The analysis notes that the film focuses too much on the women's personal lives rather than their professional careers. It also argues that the film does not provide enough time for the women to share their own stories or details about their careers at NASA. Overall, the document examines both the merits and shortcomings of the film in depicting the struggles and accomplishments of these pioneering women.

    CRITICAL ANALYSIS

    Name: Paula Jean A. Redillas


    HIDDEN FIGURES (2016)

    Three black women who worked in a NASA facility and made significant contributions

    to the space program are the subject of the film Hidden Figures. The three ladies are shown to

    have a strong sense of self-efficacy and the capacity to adjust to challenging situations. However,

    there is also a sense that their lack of access to resources, particularly money and education,

    hampered their sense of self-efficacy and capacity to adapt. This is only one of the reasons it's

    crucial for people to comprehend what it was like for non-white males who were employed by

    NASA at the time to live.

    The movie also emphasizes the significance of scientific research in assisting our nation

    in achieving its goals, as well as the significance of it for those outsides of science who wished to

    contribute their ideas through research or engineering initiatives. The movie also shows how

    many people tried to claim credit for scientific breakthroughs made by others, even though it

    would have been much more difficult for them to make those breakthroughs without access to

    resources like computers or other sophisticated machinery. And the film shows how these three

    women overcome gender stereotypes to excel in their careers despite harassment from coworkers

    who failed to recognize or value their contributions to engineering research outside of the

    normative roles for women at the time.

    Although it has several problems, the movie itself offers an excellent look at the

    difficulties black women faced in the 1960s. The first problem I have with Hidden Figures is that

    it concentrates too much on the personal lives of the key characters rather than their professional

    careers. When they discuss their families or personal lives, they are doing this, which makes
    those scenes seem less significant than they would if they were only discussing their jobs. The

    ladies are not given enough time to share their own stories, which is the second problem I have

    with Hidden Figures. The movie depicts them doing what they do best, putting their all into their

    profession, but frequently omits how long they stayed there or how many people they managed

    at that time. It appears that not enough time was spent on these matters since they preferred to

    return to more significant issues, such as romance (which is by no means a bad thing). The other

    female characters in this movie are also competing for jobs at NASA, with varying degrees of

    success.

    We are reminded of our own struggles—and how much we can accomplish when we set

    our minds to something—as I watch these women conquer challenges that would have been

    insurmountable for many others. For today's youth who may be dealing with troubles in their

    personal lives or mental health issues, this message is especially crucial. When faced with

    obstacles that appear insurmountable or unfair, it can be simple for us to lose hope in our

    situation and feel helpless. However, as long as there is hope for progress, there is also hope for

    victory!
