== Plot ==&lt;br /&gt;
Twenty Afro-Americans get on a bus in Los Angeles for a six-day trip to Washington D.C. Where they plan to take part in the March of the Million Man led by Louis Farrakhan. These men come from various social backgrounds: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The tour guide (Charles S. Dutton) is going to be an inspiration and a referee. Another steady hand comes from the oldest man on board, Jeremiah (Ossie Davis), a student of black history who delights in reminding white cowboys that a black cowboy has invented steering wrestling. Also on board are the father (Thomas Jefferson Byrd) and his young son (DeAundre Bonds), who were shackled together by a court order; the irony of going to a chain march is not lost on the others. An ex-Marine (Isaiah Washington), who is gay, boards a bus with his lover (Harry Lennix) and is picked out for harassment by a homophobic actor (Andre Braugher). And a light-skinned man (Roger Guenveur Smith) isdiscovered to be a cop assigned to South Central. Then there's a UCLA film student (Hill Harper) who's filming a video documentary. And a member of the Nation of Islam (Gabriel Casseus), wearing a black suit, a bow tie and dark glasses, who says no word on the trip. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/get-on-the-bus-1996&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The bus breaks down in the middle of the Californian desert and the passengers have to wait for another bus. The new driver, Rick, is white, and he's not so pleased with the situation. Hours and miles passing by, passengers get to know each other and stress is rising. Jay and Randall, two homosexuals, have to face the sarcasms of Flip.In the state of Tennessee, Rick decides to go back to L.A. alone. And George's tried to drive the bus. Highway patrolmen are stopping the bus and looking for drugs with racial biases. When they eventually arrive in Washington, D.C., Jeremiah has a heart attack and is rushed to the hospital. Some of the passengers choose to sit with the old man rather than follow the march.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://allreaders.com/movie-review-summary/get-on-the-bus-35687&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Controversy ==&lt;br /&gt;
There's a scene in the film where the bus is pulled over by white cops in Tennessee The cops carry a drug-sniffing dog on board and handle it in a subtle yet unmistakably racist way that reflects, &amp;quot;Every black man in America has at one time or another felt charged by the police with the fact of being black.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/get-on-the-bus-1996&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It also shows from on of the characters how bad Hollywood think or the stereotype about the black people “Hollywood thinks they have us all figured out,” that blacks are all about “rap, rape, rob and riot.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://variety.com/1996/film/reviews/get-on-the-bus-1200447446/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In the movie shows group of black men are going to The Million Man March, hope it make a different in their life and depict the most important display of male black solidarity since the '60s who shows about unity, self-discovery, and taking responsibility of black people.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://preview.reelviews.net/movies/g/get_on.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; And with all the issues of race, identity, and responsibility they have been experience and shared they can be united for the goal of standing together at the front lines of the revolution.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://movies.mxdwn.com/reviews/classic-movie-review-get-on-the-bus-1996/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;Mississippi Burning is American biographical crime thriller who released on December 2, 1988 (Washington).

&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
Mississippi Burning was set up in 1964 when three civil rights workers were murdered in a small town by members of the Ku Klux Klan. The two FBI agents, Willem Dafoe plays Ward, a zealous Harvard graduate who has received a high ranking as a member of the Robert Kennedy Department of Justice. This by-the-book agent wants to draw attention to the killers by making the city the target of national media attention. Gene Hackman, in a lively Academy Award-Caliber performance, plays Anderson, a former Mississippi senator who uses his charm to gain the trust of the disgruntled wife of the Deputy Sheriff. Her evidence, he claims, holds the key to what actually happened to the three civil rights workers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Controversy==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the movie depicts the ways in which the blacks are terrorized by lynchings, beatings, and the burning of their homes and churches in CIvil War era.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.spiritualityandpractice.com/films/reviews/view/6198&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It also shows many appalling (and broadly accurate) incidents of racist violence, its narrative focus is on what race politics meant to white people.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/apr/10/reel-history-mississippi-burning&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pro==&lt;br /&gt;
It also shows FBI agents under Anderson's direction throw restraint and legal procedure out the window in order to identify the killers. That makes them as barbaric and dehumanized as their racist adversaries. Mississippi Burning seeks to illustrate the kind of wild justice that is predicated on brutality that has permeated American history but is counter to the very values of human rights and individual freedoms.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.spiritualityandpractice.com/films/reviews/view/6198&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It also received several nomination including Best First Film in Austin Film Critics Association 2020, Outstanding Actor by Jimmie Fails and Outstanding Supporting Actor by Jonathan Majors in Black Reel Awards 2020. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4353250/awards&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Plot ==&lt;br /&gt;
Jimmie Fails is a young man who works in Bayview-Hunters Point, San Francisco, as a nurse at a nursing home. Jimmie also spends time with his best friend Montgomery &amp;quot;Mont&amp;quot; in between his busy schedule. Jimmie is waiting every day for the Mont bus, then skateboarding to a Victorian house in the Fillmore District of the city, where Jimmie grew up and says his grandfather built him in 1946. At present, the home is occupied by an older white couple.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One day, Jimmie and Mont saw the owner of the house move their furniture to a truck. They hear from a mover that the mother of the woman has died, and now she's battling over the house with her niece. They discovered that it is expected that the house will remain empty in the next few years. Jimmie is sure to be delighted to hear this information because he's been waiting to take over the house for a long time. He started compiling a crazy plan with Mont. They're going to come to the house secretly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Without Jimmie recognizing it, the Fillmore District is not the same location as it was a few years ago. Black people who have settled in the city have started to be eliminated. Other black people around him who express their frustration that they're often disenfranchised from San Francisco's life are the soapbox preacher that Jimmie and Mont frequently watch when they're waiting for the bus, and a group of young black men who hang outside Mont's place. All Jimmie's family, which he barely sees, are often disenfranchised, in one way or another, from the life of San Francisco.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Pros ==&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;moving tale of racial gentrification&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Talbot’s film is not perfect. A scene who makes its point awkwardly, and the narrative, like its characters, is prone to meandering. But as a film about place and personal mythology, it’s hugely moving. and feels like the film’s fable-like quality.&amp;quot;''&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.indiewire.com/2019/01/the-last-black-man-in-san-francisco-review-sundance-2019-1202038555/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This movie shown the experience of a young black men trying to rescue his past and claim a right of return and how to dealing with redlining, gentrification, environmental racism and the chronic policing of black masculinity. With great storyline some people also give good response for this movie and tell its such beautiful, bold, and heartful tale of city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Black communities of the city today feel under siege, and this film is unlikely to offer any material relief immediately. Still, the luminous depiction of the human race of Fails and his family members and friends, their expressions of longing for peace and refuge, is a breakthrough. It depicts my hometown and black people more frankly than any other big film in my life.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/06/14/last-black-man-san-francisco-captures-heartbreak-anger-people-displaced-by-gentrification/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A heartfelt tale of a city, friendship, home and hope. A story of Strong and deep friendship between Jimmie and Mont, keep dreaming of being able to own the house who gave him life purpose and kept him from suffering the fate of being black man in that environment make it such a great movie.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/movies/the-last-black-man-in-san-francisco-review-a-heartfelt-tale-of-a-city-friendship-home-and-hope/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; -Soren Andersen on [https://www.seattletimes.com/ ''Seattletime.com''] who gave 4 stars out of 5&lt;br /&gt;

* [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm8786575/?ref_=tt_cl_t7 ''Jalyn Emil Hall''] as young Jahkor&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Plot ==&lt;br /&gt;
Jahkor Abraham Lincoln, a.k.a. Jah, is a calm, observant young man who has never had a chance. Raised first by his physically violent, emotionally distant father, J.D., and then by a series of makeshift father figures, Jah discovers early on that the only way to survive in East Oakland is to internalize J.D.'s lessons on toxic masculinity. Under the influence of his similarly troubled childhood friend, TQ, Jah progressed from tiny stickups to an informal bodyguard role with local drug kingpin Big Stunna. What Jah really likes to do is make music, and he's going to lay down a track or two in his spare time. .But once his girlfriend, Shantaye, gets pregnant, his already narrow choices shrink even more, leading to the desperate, ill-considered double murder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jahkor offered to kill Stunna's opponent, Malcolm ([https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1637956/?ref_=tt_cl_t15 ''Stephen Barrington'']), and did so by executing Malcolm and his girlfriend Cece ([https://www.filmifeed.com/celebrity/cydnee-berry/ ''Cydnee Barry'']) in front of their daughter Miesha (Bianca Richelle) in their house. After his arrest, Jahkor discovered that TQ and a former friend, T-Rex, were working for Malcolm. Stunna and his girlfriend kill T-Rex when Jahkor kills TQ when he ends up in jail. Jahkor meets his son when Shantaye carries him along with her and also tells him that his son will not end up like him or JD. Jahkor and JD are both working on their relationship behind bars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Pros ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;'''&amp;quot;Slavery taught black people how to survive, but not how to live. And that’s what we pass on to each other. My father taught me how to take my   fucked-up life out on everyone else.”'''&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; -The narrator, Jahkor Lincoln says it on the film&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is so painful knowing that black people have to experience all of traume and racism it in the film and still happen in the real life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They succeed, despite the peculiar melodramatic lurch or the over-emphatic line of dialogue. The beats of this story are quick enough to know, which is not to suggest they're formulaic. Sanders' softly mesmerizing performance refuses to let anyone cast Jahkor as either a victim or a villain, instead of locating a tricky middle ground. &amp;quot;All Day and Night&amp;quot; lingers and often meanders in the gray zone, where the story can accumulate texture and feeling and emerge as more than the sum of its plot mechanics.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2020-05-01/all-day-and-a-night-review-ashton-sanders&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Controversy ==&lt;br /&gt;
Despite the crueltiness and violence, there is also joy and happiness that have to show in this movie. - Odie Henderson on [https://www.rogerebert.com/ Rogerebert.com] (2 stars out of 5)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I grew up in the type of environment JD and Jah inhabit, and though there was hard times, violence and death, there was also joy, pleasure and even happiness. Unlike far too many movies of this ilk, we weren’t too afraid to show it.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/all-day-and-a-night-movie-review-2020&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====== I Am Tired of Films Like Antebellum ======&lt;br /&gt;
I'm tired. I'm tired of pop-cultural objects that make black people just black bodies that aggressively chart the sins of this ragged world. I'm tired of being the main prism by which we perceive Black culture through suffering. I am tired of being so hungry that scraps feel like a meal for Black joy and Black representation. I am tired of slavery films that fail to understand Black women's inner lives, even as their animals become instruments for filmmakers to investigate the horrors of the slaves. I am tired of thin characterization and the kind of exposure Black folks get from milquetoast social messaging.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.vulture.com/2020/09/antebellum-movie-review-i-am-tired-of-films-like-this.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====== Antebellum isnt just bad - its vile to make a point about the evils of white supremacy, the film subjects its Black characters to unceasing brutality. ======&lt;br /&gt;
The first 40 are a ceaseless flood of violence and abuse in the movie: one woman is killed for attempting to run away; Eden is forcefully branded by her captors; and a Confederate soldier sexually assaults an enslaved woman in a particularly distressing sequence. The horrible realities of slavery are reduced to horror-movie stereotypes.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2020/09/antebellum-review/616403/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The Birth Of Nation was released on October 7, 2016 (United States). This Movie is based on true story from Nat Turner, who written, produced, and directed by [[wikipedia:Nate_Parker|''Nate Parker'']], who played as [[wikipedia:Nat_Turner's_slave_rebellion#Nat_Turner|''Nat Turner'']] in this movie. The Birth of Nation also stars [[wikipedia:Armie_Hammer|''Armie Hammer'']] as Samuel Turner, [[wikipedia:Colman_Domingo|''Colman Domingo'']] as Hark, [[wikipedia:Aja_Naomi_King|''Aja Naomi King'']] as Cherry, [[wikipedia:Jackie_Earle_Haley|''Jackie Earle Haley'']] as Raymond Cobb, [[wikipedia:Penelope_Ann_Miller|''Penelope Ann Mille'']] as Elizabeth Turnerand [[wikipedia:Gabrielle_Union|''Gabrielle Union'']] as Esther. The Birth of Nation is retelling of the 1831 slave rebellion led by Nat Turner, an enslaved Baptist preacher who lives on a Virginia plantation owned by Samuel Turner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This film won the Audience Awards and Grand Jury Prize in the U.S. category. Dramatic Competition at the [[wikipedia:2016_Sundance_Film_Festival|''2016 Sundance Film Festival.'']]. It also received several nomination including Outstanding Actor in Motion Picture, Outstanding DIrector in Motion Picture and Outstanding Screenplay in Motion Picture for Nate Parker in [[wikipedia:Black_Reel_Awards|''Black Reel Awards'']] 2017.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4196450/awards&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Plot ==&lt;br /&gt;
In 1809, Nat Turner was a male slave to a farm in Southampton County, Virginia. There's not enough food for all Nat's children, and Nat's father, Isaac, sees that Nat is hungry, so one night he sneaks out to steal some food. Isaac was caught on the road by Raymond Cobb. When Cobb attempts to execute him, Isaac turns the tables, kills one of his own people, and flees. He went home, told his family what had happened, and said that he had to leave his family immediately.  But without speaking to Nat, she insisted that Nat was a &amp;quot;child of God&amp;quot; and had a mission. When Cobb arrived, asking Isaac's family about where he was, no one said anything.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile the owner of the property, Benjamin Turner, purposely intervenes in the affair before Cobb becomes aggressive. When Elizabeth Turner, Benjamin's wife, saw that Nat had basic reading skills, she started to teach him to read, hoping that she could help with household affairs with her experience. Her Bible-centered lecture, Elizabeth also went so far as to make Nat read the scriptures at a church meeting. Later on, Benjamin Turner passes away, so Nat is taken to the Turner family to work on the farm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Years later, despite having grown up picking cotton alongside his family in the field, Nat was a soulful preacher with enough of a friendship with his master Samuel to convince him to buy a young slave, Cherry, saving her from a fate far worse than she had already endured. Eventually they are married and have a daughter named Joanna. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On Nat's journeys in his preaching, he becomes aware of the brutality of the plantation owners against their slaves. Nat and Samuel watch a man smash all the slave's teeth and push him into a funnel. In another case, he sees that one of Samuel's friends asks a married slave, Esther (Gabrielle Union), to his quarters. Later, she leaves the house in tears as her husband goes to comfort her and asks Nat where God is now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cobb and his men find Cherry in the woods doing a chore. They violently assault and rape her, and Nat goes home to find her battered face as she lies in bed.Nat's preaching becomes more passionate, but he no longer has any regard for his masters, then gathers a number of slaves in the group and rounds them up at night. They're going to Samuel's house, where Nat hits him with a hatchet in the face. Samuel is creeping out of his room before succumbing to the wound. The slaves are going to a number of houses to kill white men. A slave is beheading a man in front of his own home. A group of white men discover slaves in the woods and start shooting at them after a young slave boy tells the men about Nat's actions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the morning, they are suddenly ambushed by soldiers who kill every slave except Nat, who is fleeing. The black people are quiet as they watch Nat be taken to his grave. When asked if he has any last words, he simply replies, &amp;quot;I'm ready.&amp;quot; Nat is hanged to death, and the last thing he sees is Cherry in the form of an angel. Then we see the boy who warned the men earlier during the revolt, watching with tears in his eyes. The final shot jumps to his adulthood when he battles alongside other black soldiers in the civil war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Controversy ==&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.theguardian.com/profile/rebecca-carroll ''Rebecca Carroll''] on [https://www.theguardian.com/international ''The Guardian''] think that Nate Parker failed to remake history, and she has a argument that we dont have to kill white people instead we need to kill slavery and the systemic's racism. &amp;quot;Slavery has evolved in modern America, but we black Americans have evolved, too. We don’t need to kill white people to get free. We need to kill slavery and the systemic racism that preserves its legacy by continuing to hold up our humanity in a country with a history of not seeing us as human.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2016/oct/10/the-birth-of-a-nation-problems-nate-parker&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.chicagotribune.com/chinews-michael-phillips-20130507-staff.html ''Michael Phillips''] on [https://www.chicagotribune.com/ ''Chicago Tribun''] also has several &amp;quot;not so good&amp;quot; response,  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* ''&amp;quot;Even the rape victims of the screenplay have a hard time getting their fair share of the screen time; everything in the story, by design, keeps the focus and the anguished close-ups strictly on Parker. He's a good actor, but not much of a director&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
* ''&amp;quot;The Birth of a Nation&amp;quot; tries a little of everything, and often too much of everything&amp;quot;'' &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/movies/sc-birth-of-nation-mov-rev-1003-20161006-column.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Pros ==&lt;br /&gt;
Still in terms of intelligence, perspective, historical analysis and theological nuance, Todd McCarthy on [https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/ ''Hollywood Reporter''] think that the film provides more than enough to be deemed a lost opportunity at all. Much more of the basics make it into a film than not; the effort and commitment of its writers are continually felt, and the subject matter is still rare enough onscreen to be welcome and desired, as it will be the next time and the next time afterwards.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/birth-a-nation-sundance-review-859260&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also this movie can be a topic for debate about empathy, justice and equality for black people, “''The Birth of a Nation” exists to provoke a serious debate about the necessity and limitations of empathy, the morality of retaliatory violence, and the ongoing black struggle for justice and equality in this country. It earns that debate and then some.&amp;quot; -''  [https://variety.com/author/justin-chang/ ''Justin Chang''] on Variety.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://variety.com/2016/film/festivals/the-birth-of-a-nation-review-sundance-nate-parker-1201688498/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Peter Bradshaw on The Guardian think that even this movie is a &amp;quot;weirdly inhibited&amp;quot; it also a bold drama who connecting the slavery to the contemporary African-American experience, ''&amp;quot;The Birth of a Nation is naturally trying for something very different from Tarantino’s Django Unchained: its one flourish of satirical audacity is in the title. It is closer in spirit to movies such as Amistad or Glory or even the first TV episode of Roots in the 70s, that bold drama that broke the silence on the subject and attempted a grand narrative, linking slavery to the contemporary African-American experience. Parker’s film feels weirdly inhibited, possibly by a sense of its own seriousness and mainstream credentials. This is a film that moves with a careful, self-conscious tread.&amp;quot;''&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/dec/08/the-birth-of-a-nation-review-nat-turner-nate-parker&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[File:61Xj+jWzxoL. AC SL1015 .jpg|thumb|Hidden Figures Poster|alt=|372x372px]]&lt;br /&gt;
Hidden Figures is American biographical drama movie who released on December 25, 2016 United States and directed by ''[[wikipedia:Theodore_Melfi|Theodore Melfi]].'' Adapted from [[wikipedia:Margot_Lee_Shetterly|''Margot Lee Shetterly'']]'s book Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race, the film focuses on three real-life African-American female pioneers: [[wikipedia:Katherine_Johnson|''Katherine Johnson'']] played by ''[[wikipedia:Taraji_P._Henson|Taraji P. Henson]]'', [[wikipedia:Dorothy_Vaughan|''Dorothy Vaughan'']] played by [[wikipedia:Octavia_Spencer|''Oktavia Spencer'']], and [[wikipedia:Mary_Jackson_(engineer)|''Mary Jackson'']] played by [[wikipedia:Janelle_Monáe|''Janelle Monáe'']], who were part of [[wikipedia:NASA|'''NASA''']]'s team of human &amp;quot;computers.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was a community mainly made up of women who measured the complicated equations by hand that allowed space heroes such as Neil Armstrong, Alan Shepard, and Glenn to safely fly to space. They secured their mark on American history by sheer tenacity, willpower, and intelligence, even though their story has remained hidden from public view until now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on [https://envelope.latimes.com/awards/titles/hidden-figures/ ''Los Angeles Time''] Hidden Figures received 6 major nominations in 2017 including [[wikipedia:Academy_Award_for_Best_Picture|''Best Picture'']], [https://www.studiobinder.com/blog/what-is-adapted-screenplay/#:~:text=An%20adapted%20screenplay%20is%20a,series%2C%20and%20even%20other%20films. ''Best Adapted Screenplay''] by Allison Schroeder and Theodore Melfi and Best [[wikipedia:Academy_Award_for_Best_Supporting_Actress|''Actress in a supporting role'']] by Octavia Spencer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
The film opens in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia in 1926. Tells about three black women who at that time were a minority in the United States (US). They are Mary Jackson, Katharine Goble, and Dorothy Vaughan. Mary Jackson was an engineer who had been turned down by a technician at NASA unless she had successfully passed a specialist in white college. Then Dorothy, who has the job of acting supervisor or supervisor of the West Field, is still unable to get his position permanently due to the color of his skin. Meanwhile, Katherine Goble is the central character of Hidden Figures.[[File:Ows 148737868452998.jpg|thumb|left|Taraji P. Henson as Katherine Johnson and Kevin Costner as Al Harrison]]As the US races against Russia to position a man in orbit, NASA uncovers the untapped skills of three African-American female mathematicians. Katherine's supervisor Vivian Mitchell([[wikipedia:Kirsten_Dunst|''Kirsten Dunst'']]) assigns her to assist Al Harrison([[wikipedia:Kevin_Costner|''Kevin Costner'']]) space task group, Katherine becomes the first African American team member to assist in a key group and even work in the building that doesn’t even have a bathroom for coloured people.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/hidden-figures-plot-summary/articleshow/57285663.cms&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; At first they disrespectful and demeaning, particularly Paul Stafford (Jim {Parsons) head engineer, who is oblivious to her and has to face difficulties such as having to drink coffee from a separate cup.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile Dorothy Vaughan has been acting supervisor of the section, only having the responsibilities but not the title or the associated pay. Dorothy believes not getting that promotion is largely the doing of her Caucasian supervisor, Vivian Mitchell. Dorothy seeks to discover as best as she can on her own about her tasks, with the odds stacked against her to keep herself and the whole African-American female computing segment important in this shifting time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mary Jackson struggles with the requisite credentials for the advancement because the extension courses are not offered in any high school in Hampton, where she lives, open to African-Americans. Her challenges are amplified by her husband, Levi Jackson, a civil rights activist who sees only a small vision of the progress of African-Americans.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the end Dorothy, Mary, and Katherine Gobels Johnson were able to cross all issues including those regarding gender, race and professional lines, as they were able to fulfill their dreams above everything society has ever done due to their intellect and motivation.The struggle and dedication they put in firmly established all three in US history as true American heroes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Controversy==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Batch-upload 1d1e29b1-88c0-4b29-850e-95f8d8628fda.jpg|thumb|200px|Hidden Figures Book by Margot Lee Shetterly]]Based on The Guardian&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/science/the-h-word/2017/feb/13/film-hidden-figures-nasa-black-women-mathematicians-book&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;, Hidden Figures is a film with troubling delight to read and an instruction manual for other scholars writing the history of technology, but none of those issues are present. The film tells a simple straightforward plot, unlike the novel, and does so with very plodding pacing and humdrum cinematography. The conflict between what women are doing and the motives they are doing so is still left unresolved.  The controversial fact that these brilliant women are submerged in the process of helping the US wage a Cold War intended to extend American political control is not explored in the film, the same system that has subjugated them and their loved ones. As seen by Shetterly in her novel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Black Empowerment ==&lt;br /&gt;
Beside the negative response we can also see the positive thing in this movie. The positive one is that the fact that they are able to face them all and become a successful black woman in NASA. Like one of the cast, Dorothy Vaugn who played Spencer he said that we should be encouraged, if there is a girl who has a passion in something even if in science no matter what their ethnic, &amp;quot;''If a girl, of whatever age or ethnicity, is inclined toward science, technology engineering and math, they should be encouraged and that passion should be fostered because if we only had the male perspective, women will continue to be marginalised and objectified&amp;quot;''&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/dec/11/black-women-mathematicians-nasa-john-glenn-space-race&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another one is from Alissa Wilkinson in [https://www.vox.com/ Vox] who think that is the best kind of historical drama, delightful and inspiring story that’s still relevant today because of the issues about race, gender and diversity, &amp;quot;''The result is delightful, and surprisingly timely. Hidden Figures blends contemporary conversations about race, gender, diversity in STEM fields, and patriotism in a thought-provoking historical package. And most of all, it boasts three terrific leading ladies (and a few great supporting actors too)&amp;quot;.''&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.vox.com/culture/2016/12/23/14005812/hidden-figures-review-taraji-henson-octavia-spencer-janelle-monae-john-glenn-nasa&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
