when I first saw this and read the description of the movie and looking at the casts without watching the trailer first.. man I don't regret watching this. Bathroom scene got me crying... Such a masterpiece. 😭😭😭😭 love from the Philippines!

@@pendragonshall Actually the facts are these: 1)The first started to work for NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) which was segregated. 2)Then this became NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration. 3) She used the closest women's bathroom, even during the NACA days (which were marked Whites Only), but by that point she had become a valued member of staff and anyone who complained about her not using a "Colored" bathroom was basically told to shut up! 4) The courtroom scene never happened. NASA "strongly hinted" that the school needed to let one of the trio this movie is centered on to attend the classes she needed!!!
@@timengineman2nd714 If you ever have a chance to watch her personally talk about this in an old video that I think is still on youtube. It' really worth watching. Her own words on this ENTIRE part of her life was not at all what was portrayed.. Peace
Just watched this movie tonight and I couldn't help but laugh at this scene. "The Atlas rocket is classified" DUDE, THERE'S A MODEL OF AN ATLAS ON THE SHELF BEHIND YOUR DESK FOR THE WORLD TO SEE!!! EDIT: Just to clarify, it's not the Saturn rocket that they are talking about, it is the Atlas rocket which was employed in project Mercury to achieve orbit (you even see one launch later in the movie). Also, to help you spot it, it's right above Jim Parson's head for most of the scene. It's also on the movie poster and is behind the three women in the still image at the end of this video.
Raymond Whatley well anyone that goes into his office will probably be screened and given clearance on the atlas rocket, or he could just say that it’s a piece of fiction
There was no Atlas rocket, the actual name was Saturn, but the movie was not allowed to use that name, so they went with Atlas, the model in the movie is a Saturn I Rocket which became the famous Saturn V rocket that sent Apolo 11 to the moon.
@@deltaboy767 That is completely wrong. There was, in fact, an Atlas rocket which was used to achieve orbit and that is the model sitting on the dude's desk. Here's the wikipedia article on the Atlas rocket. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_(rocket_family)
Tell you what, you come to Los Angeles and apply for a Civil Servant position: Firefighter, Police, Building and Safety, I have $50 to your $5 that says a person of color will take priority over a caucasian...
Ok I think this shows the indifference of Harrison here. He asked her if she was Russian spy regardless of her skin color. I guess to him skin color did not matter, either you are good or not good, that was his worry. Powerful scene
I think what was awesome was a space program that in the time given them by JFK got it done, and put a man on the moon.......hollywood and the phony baloney shitheads that make 98% percent of the movies that we get our so called facts from don`t know up from down.....
Hopefully history books are being Rewritten to include all these fantastic things the ladies of color have done to get us into space. This story needs to be written in hard copy not just at the movie theaters. More needs to be investigated to find out some additional things that we were never told about. I hope everyone appreciate the gifts of each person no matter what race they are. We need to get over the bull of who's better than anyone else. Let's all work together guys to find out more of what others have sacrifice their being to make this world a better place!
I went to public schools back in the '70's and '80's and even then I don't remember anything about NASA only being white men. There may not have been a focus on what minorities may have been involved but I don't remember any "whitewashing" either. It wasn't like I watched this movie and then thought everything I was taught about the space program was a lie, unlike many other parts of my formal schooling.
This film is actually an amalgamation of more people at different time working on different stuff. There is no evidence, for example, that these three even knew each other, at least on a social basis!
I love how genuinely disappointed and confused she sounded at the amount stupidity that just came out of his mouth with those few words like deadass "I'm not Russian..?"
No confirmation if this happened IRL but it wouldn't be that surprising. It was the early 60s and not long after McCarthyism had reached its height so by that point probably half of all government workers had been asked if they were or accused of being a spy at some point. However, you'll also notice that the boss character doesn't sound particularly hyper about asking if she's a Russian spy. This is all lip service, so that he can go to his bosses (pretty much the US government) and go "Yes I confirmed she was not a Russian spy, stop asking."
Not to mention one of our most secret projects, Project Manhattan was infiltrated by Russia spies. They were able to get an inside man on our most deadly weapon ever used in a wartime setting.
@@christinacody5845 stupidest bit is, alot of the tech the Russians "stole" from NASA they never actually stole. They bought it from the civilian contractors that NASA used for nearly everything. Alot less of it was classified than people think. The overall design is classified but many of the individual components weren't, and a smart enough group (like the Russian space agency) could figure out how they went together to make the final design. As for getting a man on the inside of the Manhattan project, it was about as secret as walking into the middle of a crowded hotel lobby and setting yourself on fire. Everyone knew it was happening (and I mean everyone), but getting specific details took some effort. Consider the entire staff for that project was upwards of 10000 people.
I have experienced the same thing as have many women. Women are held to a higher standard at work yet they are attacked when they come to conclusions they're not "supposed " to, even when the conclusion was relatively easy to reach, even accidentally, as easy as holding a paper up to the light
Chelsea Manning's defense lawyers used a similar strategy with redacted docs... They analyzed the lengths of all the blackouts and discovered key phrases and terms that matched the blackouts in length and context.
"This data is super G-14 classified..." It is redacted using the cheapest bidder, skill craft Gov't pen/marker.....on typed words....brain boy one and two over there are lost in the sauce wondering how you can see it...great movie...
@@sarahhaugh7922 Black people can be Russian. Ironically, a lot of African-Americans moved to Russia around the time period of this movie to escape racism in America and most of them have started first and second-generation Afro-Russian families like Yelena Khanga's family for example.
Knowing what I know now (about being a black woman in America), I would’ve turned down all the tea in China and the oil in Russia if I was from either country that wanted to send me to America to, let alone spy on America! I am 63 yrs old, and let me tell you… the struggle was and is real for black people in America , more so during the time reflected in the movie. But nevertheless, still a struggle. The line, “I’m not a Russian spy,” was everything: hilarious, ridiculous, sarcastic, and ingenious. Taraji P. Henson nailed it. Her face as well as her timed verbal response said it all. The Oscar should have been hers.
lol. i figured the "hold it up to the light" trick myself when i was in the Army. that's not to say i am on the same level of intelligence as Katherine, not by a long shot. i just found the hack to read redacted documents like she did.
The part that makes this scene for me is her child-like naivete. You can be a spy in service to Russia, therefore a Russian spy, without being Russian. But that doesn't occur to anyone there, because she's just very wholesomely ignorant of the fact.
I have always liked K. Costner. It is a pity that his career did not develop as expected. I remember at one point calling him "the king of failed movies"! I didn't care then, I don't care now.
Esta película me gustó y me gusta x q x fin se dan cuenta q no importa el color de piel sino la sabiduría e inteligencia de estas mujeres q hicieron historia ya e visto como 4 veces y me gusta x q les dejo con la boca abierta a todos eso es lo q me gusta yo soy de color trigueño a blanco y no menosprecio yo miraba cuando era pequeño kunta Kinte yo creo q los ingleses trajeron a los negros cazaban como animales eso según e visto los ingleses bueno así se la historia me gusta esta película x era de color y muy inteligente me encantó no me canso de mirarla veanla es hermosa 👍👍👍👏👏👏

Yeah, I liked that too. Kinda funny is the sub-text weren't so insulting.
"Are you a Russian spy?"
"No sir"
Yes. She did deny being a spy.
She said ‘I’m not Russian’ becuase clearly she’s not Russian
You don't have to be Russian to be a Russian spy.

True, this is a great clip, but, obviously you don't kneed to be Russian to be a spy for Russia. This is a great movie!

You'd be surprised how often the finish line is moved for whites, too!
