I couldn't do that math on a calculator... She does it in her head. Some people have some amazing gifts.
Hell I struggle doing basic math in my head. Lol
Interestingly, the final numbers she rattled off were accurate for the location, just take a look at a globe or world map!
Serenity113 Me too. Her parents must be proud of her. I just love this actress. Intelligent and so pretty. Even if one child is not famous but has good morals and compassion for others and animals is good enough for me. 😍💝☺
@@MariaEspinoza-dr6ww , yesss lol
It is because they gave us calculator in class now . All forgot how to do math... Education now making us stupid 😀
I heard she loved numbers as a child and she went to high school at 10 and graduated at 15 she’s smart
i love numbers, I graduated primary at 10 and highschool before 16. Many kids from 'accel' programs in my country are like that. Sure, it's an Asian country
@@pactumexcello9308 accel programs kid went through a lot like A LOT help from their teachers or parents or sub teachers. She didn't lol accel programs kid is gifted sure, but imagine what she would become if she had the same support with those kids.
Pactum Excello because you had money and a dozen teachers to guide you every step of the way. These women didn’t, they had to do it all themselves while not being as well off. But please prove me wrong by sending the first rocket to Mars mate.
I graduated High School at 15 . I live in Jamaica 😊
I learned to tie my shoes at ten...
Kathrine died today at 101 years old. She was an amazing person How did my comment get so many likes.
Kate Wilson Seriously? I’m pissed I didn’t see that on social media!
She truly was an AMAZING Human Being - and a great mathematician.
The Southern Gamer Corona took over the News.
She died in her prime.
She truly was.
"What about the girl?" "You mean Katherine?" "Yea, the smart one"
What I loved about this movie is that it didn't raise the black women by lowering the white men. The white men in this movie are very smart, very capable, very professional people. It just illustrated that the black women could operate on the same level as them, which is what people didn't really expect. And then there's several scenes where the white women are like, "It's not my fault things are the way they are." I loved that because while most people aren't outwardly racist, the fact that they were content to just leave things the way they were was the reason that it took so long for equal rights to take hold, and still hasn't completely to this day. I just want to know if Katherine Johnson ever got a pay raise to what she was worth in all those years she worked at NASA.
This comment👏🏽
I disagree on one point. After laws were equally applied then civil rights job was done and after civil rights laws were past the ball is now in each citizens court to do with as they please. Its correct to say black Americans started behind white Americans but that does not mean they had to stay there. MLK said after blacks were freed then they were free to only die which is kinda the idea you seem to be working with but I don't agree with that school of thought because anyone is free to die as a slave just give up. Once you have freedom you now have the chance to live. Fredrick Douglass is the prime example of this very idea. The man was literally freed from slavery when and got himself an education and became a statesmen. From no chance to live to seizing every opportunity to live to his fullest. This school of thought you have is currently hanging over my trans community when really its up to us. If we show society we also contribute then society accepts us because society wants success. Some blacks throughout history have done exactly what I want to happen in the trans community and it has worked. So what you start the game late, all that means is you have more data than anyone else and can keep from following the same mistakes. Asians who came to the U.S. long after black Americans were free were even more successful than white or black Americans while still dealing with racism also. I would also point out Asian american also preach strong family units not just because of the many Asian cultures but also because they probably saw how successful it was for black Americans from the 20s to about the 50s. It does not mean blacks had it easy but at the time more black Americans percentwise were rising out of poverty faster than their white counterparts up until the government offered to take care of single mothers removing a father responsibility and eventually decaying into black men being locked up because of a lack of a man in the household to teach their young men how to act and be successful in society. When you see well off or stable black families the father almost always present. Granted I also think having 2 parents is better than one but that is an opinion backed by science.
Thank you, for this. There's never a need to tear each other down.
@@mattiOTX good breakdown my friend
@@mattiOTX Very well said 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
She should have won the Oscar for best actress.
PREACH!!!!
Hell nahh
That is what I said. BHM too.
Yes.
I was so pissed she didnt win. What made me furious was them messing up the movie title multiple times. I think they were doing it on purpose to snub the movie.
The passing of the chalk shot is iconic.
I am grateful that this film was made in Katherine Johnson's lifetime. And that it introduced many of us to her genius and commitment to the US Space Program. She is (was) a national treasure.
See the shot where he hands her the stick of chalk. He is literally passing her the baton. She will carry it over the finishing line that keeps moving, and will pass it on for others to carry. Superb symbolism.
The handing the chalk is a replica of the scene as a child where the math teacher asked her to solve the equation. There she was the pupil, here she's the teacher.
No, you both have it wrong. The guy's hand represents Earth and the girls hand is space. The chalk is the rocketship.
She needed chalk to write on the board you dummies
@@uncleswell u seem to be an imaginative person. Are u an artist or writer or book reader?
@@user-tw3gr9gy5t I dabble in the arts. Any books you'd reccommend?
The first time I watched this film I was so overwhelmed I had to watch it again the following day just to appreciate it properly. It was a beautiful film and moved me to tears more than once.
same here.
Yeah me too, especially as a woman of color who loves math, it struck a chord.
I was angry. I kept saying why hadnt I heard about these women before? What other history is kept from us? It's an inspiring story. I wish I had strong, intelligent women like these to look up to as a child.
If you haven't yet, I highly recommend reading the book that the movie is based on. It goes more in depth and tells much more of the story.
And it's not sexist not sjw
I've seen this film a number of times and it never gets old. The three main characters go on to great things in space flight for decades. NASA named a building after Katherine Johnson (Goble). That's how important she and they were to the space race and beyond. Watch this film! You won't be sorry.
... and read the book.... it is more impressive. I watched the movie and then I bought the book to see how accurate it was. It was fairly good, but it could not tell in 2 hours the full story.
Is she related to Boris Johnson?
@@adolflenin4973 Boris thinks black people are knuckle-draggers and has said as much. He's not fit to polish Katherine Johnson's shoes, let alone share her gene pool.
Yes it's very interesting every time🤔😁 I love it ❤ excellent casting every actor, actress was fabulous 🤩
When Sheldon is impressed you know you're strong with the math.
watching this to encourage me to do my math homework
same omg. kudos to tarajis acting
🤣
❤
Me and you both, my love
I was good at math, but not those crazy calculations that covered the whole chalkboard.....
And I still don’t see these three black women in history books, it just keeps saying America landed on the moon first the end
Did it say white men did it?
Duffsterlove well I mean Buzz and Neal did lack pigment if I’m not mistaken
There are many things that have contributed to many different parts of important history, but if each and every one of those details were added, and explained, then the history book would be much larger... These women did get recognized, otherwise there wouldn't be a movie based off of real events, which would not have been known or heard of if someone hadn't recorded them...
History books leave a ton out because to record every person working on a project like this would end up boring the average reader, so they usually give big names such as Nixon, Neil, and Buzz.
@@honeybiscuit1457 yes they got recognized because someone went digging and told the story fir us to hear. And how many years later. This was not a miniscule detail. Women and people of color did so much. Why just highlight the bad.
I love that moment when she was handed the chalk and her eyes gleamed under the glasses, kinda nerdy and cute but also confident.
Nobody ever comments this but she is exceptionally beautiful. Not just her looks either. Her style, her poise, her grace, her voice, her determination. She nearly glows. Shes like magic.
That is glow is why they are called stars.
I think and hope they dont comment on her beauty bc it had nothing to do with her ability. it's actually not a compliment unless someone is showing off an outfit. this wasnt a fashion story so comments on her looks would weird dont you think?
@@jusletursoulglobaby but.. but... but she's hot.
@@jusletursoulglobaby except that persons who look a certain way are not expected to be beautiful, both in appearance, style, poise, grace, and determination. To not recognize that she surpassed that prejudice is a mistake. She helped all women by being who she was, all of her is a national treasure.
@@JPF941 girl how did you miss the point? you THAT shallow?
It is so amazing. These women had so much to give, they were just born in the wrong gender and color to receive the recognition they deserved but their determination just never waivered to achieve what they wanted to. Just makes you so proud.
nothing wrong with their gender and/or color ... they were born at the wrong time. It still hasn't changed enough but I'm hopefull for the future.
Miralys E. The subject was the movie, obviously.
Christine Fernandez - Not wrong gender; not wrong color. Their time, place, race and gender served a good purpose in history. Black people in 2018 aren't recognized for their accomplishments as they should be. Things have changed but at a snail's pace.
Christine Fernandez I may be a white woman but I was so proud & emotional when I watched this movie! These actress’s and real life women were amazing! ❤️👏🏻❤️
They're born with a great gender and color and in the right time... It's just that other people are born narrow minded...
it was an amazing movie. the actors were genius but the women they represented are magnificent! imagine the walls they broke down! They are a huge part of the sucess of the space program in the 60's up to now. Amazing! Just freakin AMAZING!
I am so glad that such movies were made. Read the book and see that they helped conquer the speed of sound too.
I also like how it wasn’t about how “these women are smarter than the men”. They didn’t try and didn’t make it dimeaning about the “white man”.They were plenty smart and I felt that was well represented too. The ladies could literally keep up with them, it was just they’ve never gotten a chance until now really. The white women were even just like “that’s just the way it is, sorry 🤷🏼♀️” and it wasn’t that they were being outwardly racist, it was just that they were so used to the way of the world they couldn’t see that these things were wrong or that the women weren’t being treated equally or set to the same standard! :) (I hope this made sense the way my head made it make sense)
@@madisonmorris7394 Actually, in the movie I felt the women were treated as cattle. They were given the drudgery of computation and were going to be superceded by a machine, a broken machine not many knew how to operate. The opportunity to do any other job was not even open to them. They had to educate themselves for any possibility of staying.
Karl Zipp they chose to work there and the machine to succeed them was simply an advancement not unlike replacing the assembly line workers with machines. They were just trying to get the best results they were able to, and they took that to mean, giant computer.
We've had plenty of astronaut stories, but it was really great to hear some of the stories of the fantastic folks behind the scenes who help make the space program successful.
Can't wait for that janitor story.
@Joe Duke You write that like it is a bad thing.
@@bugwar5545 SOMEBODY had to clean out that rocket, you wouldn't believe how much dust can accumulate in a week.
Hoping American History books put a chapter in about this amazing piece of history. No mention at all when I was in highschool.....
I love the part in every movie where someone is underestimated and then blows away everyone in the room with their intelligence. Great movie.
Happens in this country all the time in real life . So many people here are dismissed by their age, race, color, gender, ethnicity, social status economic status, looks, lack of experience etc..
Sheldon got schooled
pinball ball and looking pissed about it. Poor Shelly.
Nicole Salmon he’s pissed because someone’s smarter than him
Class dismissed
To be fair, physicist don't do basic math with numbers.
Honestly, this movie has been underrated. It’s an amazing story and the actors they chose seem to mesh perfectly!
its truly incredible
Films that's are actually true stories are the best, and this film is one of them. These ladies who helped the space race are true heroes.
This director took a complex and very sensitive story and made it palpable for everyone. From top to bottom excellence was achieved. The cast, script, editing and music, just wow. I've watched it so many times.
Jim parsons look so salty
His Sunshine that's Shelly for you. Hates the idea of anyone being smarter than him.
When doesnt he look salty
...in most scenes throughout the movie.
I can only see Sheldon Cooper and I can’t stand Sheldon
@Nickhead87 he is almost like his Big Bang Theory character Sheldon. Would be salty af if someone was smarter than him.
that lady has a lovely face
Her name is Taraji P. Henson and I agree. :)
a lovely mind, too. 😊
You must be joking
She’s adorable! I loved her in Person Of Interest
@Thor Swenson Generally bigger more expensive movie productions do not allow for open casting calls. Agents of established actors will arrange for them to audition. And for the most part established actors are attractive well-known individuals, not regular looking average people.
I watched this on a plane. Best 2 hours of journey in the sky 💜💜💜
Rest Well, Katherine Johnson
She was fantastic in this movie. Costner always plays the same character- the white guy with a heart of gold.
3000 Miles to Graceland. No heart of gold.
Black Women help them get to the moon and Black men help fought the wars and be became heroes and we still can't get recognition or respect for the efforts. The contribution are endless!!!
They left these women out of our history books, that's really a tragedy!
A LOT has been done to ignore and rewrite out history and for the same nefarious reasons. The GOOD NEWS IS that more and more of U.S. are finally seeing the connections and voting so many of the hundreds of politicians involved, especially from one particular political party, OUT of office today. Over 1,000 in fact nation wide in the last 10+ years and counting. WE the People are DONE being Lied To and Lied About. Good Grief, I can't even trust myself when balancing my own checkbook. . . .
@Yourtube User I was just like her in my Electronics class full of white men. I passed the class right along with them! Solving formulas like you wouldn't believe. They didn't speak to me whole time I was there even until graduation. Mechanical Engineering major too and working on designs right now for new inventions!
What
@@dayyannahdya6445 that's because she never was part of history, we are being lied to.
It’s one thing to do math and get the answers right but for her to deliver this line and add a small smirk when she’s done, really shows how Katharine really loved what she was doing. Superb acting!
I will say that math is more important, and I am sure she will agree with me. That is one of the reasons the USA is under an epidemy of homelessness and the number of immigrants has exceeded the capacity of many cities (that could trigger a violent backslash): people in power that are more interested in giving lessons, having people "pay" and similar instead of keeping the eyes in the objectives.
@@jaimeduncan6167 Take your fascist bullsh*t back to moscow tovarisch.
Gotta give Harrison credit. He believed in her no matter the color of her skin. And when everyone was trying to keep her down. He had her back
I can not even count the number of times I've watched this movie! Love it everytime
I love the moment when she pushes her glasses up her nose as she did as a child when her teacher gave her the chalk. Very touching. Fantastic Movie. Thank you for uploading this scene.
This is probably the BEST historical movie I’ve ever seen.
One of the best films I've ever watched, will bring tears to your eyes, happy tears.
I love how Katherine's just sitting listening to the conversation when her boss turns to ask her to do the calculations her response is one of somewhat surprise but not fear. because her world is numbers
When Kevin Costner handed her the chalk, that was priceless.
I love when she's at the board, scrunches her nose and uses her finger to lift up her glasses right before she shows out with the calculations
This is one of those movies you wish you could erase from your mind so you can watch it for the first time again.
Well put.
I can't even tell you how many times I've watched this movie. Ya, I know it's a Hollywood interpretation of events, but it's still great. Not to mention, the real events are just as fantastic.
It's hard to think about how many brilliant minds were chained by society
‘Society’ .. is a euphemism for people .
I L O V E HER AMAZING ENERGY ! ! DAZZLING SMILE & HER PERFECT FIGURE !
Done without a calculator. Impressive. Most impressive.
It's really ashame that I didn't know about these women until this movie came out. Wonderful performance and wonderful women.
even the dudes in the back had their mouths open...............
That's how it was done , a great chapter in American history when the best and brightest pulled together
The amazing thing about these women was they stuck together and had each other’s backs. Later in the movie when computers are introduced they all learned how they worked and how to program them. When you work together no one is expendable!
This is one of my all time favorite scenes!! Fabulous script, even better actress!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Kathrine legend and her legendary contributions will live on forever n ever.
The very person she helps put in space showed more respect than nearly every one else.
This scene never gets old. I could watch it a million times.
The 2 scenes in the movie when she is handed the chalk.
The smart one? No kidding! I love it when her boss stands up while she’s doing her calculations and he realizes how smart she is! You go, girl
She’s not just smart she was genius
She was terrific in that role
As an Korean-American ... I hope this really happened ! Bc as minorities ... instead of Hating each other ... usually instigated by others .. we need to stick together ! This movie is so inspirational to me ❤️
20th Century Fox Belgium has a behind the scenes & it did. She's saying it herself.
Yes its all facts google
This movie was based off of real events.
True story
man, you got it reversed. koreans are part of asia and we are the biggest population in the world! what minority are you saying? is it because where you are? that's just location.
So appreciative that this film brought her achievements (and those of her friends) to our knowledge.
If you haven't seen it, make it a point to watch it. This is a real good movie and a true story.
I cried throughout the entire movie! from pride, strength & accomplishment!
Yes she was an amazing person and would have been one of the many unsung and unrecognised heros in the world but for the book and film. God bless her.
While she might not have been that well known with the general public, her work at NACA/NASA has earned her a lot of respect in the industry and beyond. NASA has named 2 buildings after her and multiple educational institutions have also named buildings and even an entire school after her. All 3 women in this movie have left their mark on NASA.
EVERY time I watch this and I've watched it a good number now, I am SO PROUD of these women!! They show the men that they CAN do amazing things, as God has given them the gifts and brains.
I’m British and I am so proud of them too!!
Brilliant Brilliant film. Fell in love with Taraji when I saw her in 'Smokin Ace's' ...
Absolutely one of the best movies i've ever seen before. I dont even know what got me start watching it. All I know, was it had just started when the women were in their 57 chevy. I didnt even know it was based on a real story at the time of watching it, until after watching the end. These ladies were absolutely smarter than most men there. And that's why I think that I enjoyed it so much.
I should have learned about her in school. She should have gotten recognized way before 2015. It makes me mad that she gave her all and we gave her so little.
And if Republiturds have their way, that will NEVER happen.
@@kurtsnyder4752 Whatever crybaby.
@@mwillbladeYeah, cry for the lost potential we as a nation have suffered with the Republiturd white supremacist theocratic Qanon garbage they've been shitting all over the Constitution and the Red ,White, and Blue for decades in their program to destroy democracy and all minorities or make them modern slaves. And tears for all the brave servicemen and women who've lost their lives defending this country only to have been treasoned on by these rightwingnuts with their Russian masters. Traitors all.
@@kurtsnyder4752 Nutshits like you is why I became an Independent instead of staying a Democrat which I was for over 30 years.
@@mwillblade Good riddance to trash.
Brains, beauty, poise, patience, tolerance .. wonderful !
wonderful movie. Depicts these gifted ladies with great respect.
Watched it in cinema four times and already bought the dvd ❤
One of the best empowering films of our time.
I read Catherine’s memoir she wrote with her daughter. Excellent. She was an exceptional woman. Dedicated to her profession, caring wife and mother and loved God and her country
One of the best movies I’ve ever watched!!!! Tears of sadness and tears of joy!!!
I watched this show because I liked the trailer. And then I fell in love with the movie so I watched it for the second time. Eventually I started adoring Taraji and now I am a fan
I'm from Calvert County Maryland where Ms Jackson taught at Brooks High School. She's always been a bit of a legend in my hometown.
One of the many best scenes, and Rest Well yo the real Katherine Johnson 👑
The astronaut support, if it was true, actually did the wonder. Amen
When Chad Radwell says the numbers are good, the numbers are good.
It is about time that these brilliant ladies were given there due,like those commercials say( a mind is a terrible thing to waste)😎
Incredible Women who also have Dignity, Integrity, Respect and Care for their families and their country ❤️🙏🏼
We need more of these kinds of moments in time.
We have a lot of them. We just need more exposure of those moments.
I love how she looks so fabulous and rocks her intelligence !
This was one of my favorite scenes. She really showed tf out!
Just overwhelms me every time, this entire movie has a piece of my heart.
Fabulous story, I’m so glad her story has been told.
Absolutely my favorite scene in the entire movie....can't count how may times I watched it.
Put it in a mathematical equation then you will be able to figure it out. Use a chalkboard, it makes you look smarter.
This clip inspires me!!!
Time has proven that brains and talent can end up in any kind of a human. Any society that denies education and opportunity to all citizens, denies itself that bit of excellence.
Loved this movie! It uplifted those people in the time period it represented from those who could "do" to those who suddenly realized it could be done.
Such a good film
There's always been people in history that was so envious that they rather have a setback if they couldn't do it rather than give it to someone truly gifted that could, I truly believe if they would've got out of her way and let her do her thing along with those two other brilliant sista's that we probably would be living on Mars or at least the moon by now.
One of my favorite movies ever... RIP Ms Johnson!
last week i thought 3x3 was 6 she’s a genius
Isn't it? Lol...
It kinda cut it out but Mr. Harrison chuckled before giving the chalk to Katherine when I saw the movie. It took me a bit to realize that he knew how smart Katherine was and that he knew she could do it in a heartbeat.
I love this movie! Even if the history books haven't changed yet, I became extremely interested in them enough where I couldn't help but look them up.
One of the best movies ever. Especially since it’s based on real people, the reality of what was happening then in homes and work places. After I saw the movie I did a bit of fact checking: John Glenn did trust her numbers more than the computer!
I truly love that movie. The moral of this story is the best person for the job. Period!
This movie is one of the greatest movies of all time everyone who played in the film definitely delivered the best performance’s I’ve seen in a while
It blows my mind that somebody has that kind of math in their head.
Seriously lol
solving a College Algebra question in the middle of the meeting shows you are not prepared.
Smart people are the real superhero’s. We need more of them taking charge!
she used range equation of projectile motion in this scene, R=V^2sin(2theta)/g.❤
I like it when you talk nerdy!
duh
Watched this movie and it was AMAZING. I loved every moment of it 🥰🤩
It's really dramatic, so much suspense, music,... for just one formula in the blackboard.
I loved this film. Great acting by everybody
