She lived a long life. That's good to know at least one of them lived enough for seeing this movie. The moment they show the real MC and what happened next are always my favorite part of this type of movies

People from those times have a very long life span.

I agree

yes!

amen.

It's watched in some high schools. Black history or women's history months.

@@Bluejacket4life2 no it won’t. It doesn’t even exist in Middle School. You can’t even define CRT… so turn off the Fox “News” propaganda network.

What is funny in this scene is the fact she said no only about not being russian

@a.g.demada5263 therefore she is not a Russian spy. What is funny is that he has decided to authorize a security clearance, so he asks this simple question as the background check.

same! I would haver given her the Oscar for that monologue alone. what a brilliant actress!

Yes they are. They had an incredible story and I’m glad it was told.

Ditto, many times! Have rewatched it so many times and tear up through the entire movie, EVERY time.

Fabulous show. Great book 😊

Oh absolutely! It took WAY to long for it to click. 😅

Yes, back then, a person who computed numbers was a "computer." Same thing with "typewriter." People who were hired to type were originally called "typewriters," and only later the title shifted to the machine it self. IBM, International Business Machines, was founded in 1911, although not so named until 1924. As their name suggested, they were well known for their large line of adding and accounting machines. I don't remember the name, alone, being considered the name of the computer. When I was in college c. 1970, the school got its first computer, which filled the entire basement of an academic building. Required tons of air conditioning at it was still using vacuum tubes (I think, although the transistor had been around for a decade or so). Vacuum tubes were basically dim light bulbs with a special extra plate inside, and gave off heat like incandescant bulbs did at the time. The machine required hundreds if not thousands of tubes. I don't remember the brand of the computer. We kids nicknamed it "Fat Albert," from a character created by Bill Cosby. The term "main frame" was not in use to designate a computer from a pc, as there were no personal computers yet. The movie had to use this term to make it clear to the audience this is not what we think of today as a computer. (It's computing power was probably less than any electronic device in use today.) These original computers didn't any enough memory to store programs. You had to feed it a deck of punched cards, EACH TIME to do the most basic thing, like sort or alphabetize a list of names. Originally (and this was still ~1970, not ~1960, the time of the movie), you would submit your deck of cards to an operator who fed the cards in. You got the cards back right away but had to wait hours for the output. Since you were writing your own programs (using "Fortran," formula translator," or "Cobol," "common business oriented language"), you could easily make a mistake, like have a line of command out of order, so typically you'd get your results with an error. Fix the deck of cards, resubmit, wait hours, get a new error and so on. It lots of manual labor associated with operating the machine. By the way, when the first personal computers were being developed, IBM left the field to others, as they thought they could easily produced ALL the limited number the world would even need.

Before there were human computers there were human "typewriters" instead of Typists or Word Processors.

There was neither running nor driving. Glenn did, in fact, ask for Katherine to check the computation, but it took her (as I recall) two days of work to do it.

I enjoyed that one! Unfortunately, I saw it before I started the channel otherwise I would definitely add that one!

Seventy-four here, and I lived it, as well as watch a lot of older movies where this crap was going on. Some of the most basic human things were denied others based on race, sexual orientation, or religion. (John Kennedy was the first president elected who was Roman Catholic, and that was considered "risky" for many voters, who thought he might owe his allegiance to the pope, not the constitution.

Aww man, great suggestions, but I actually saw that in theaters! Absolutely wild film, and would make for a great reaction.

@@CasualNerdReactions Thank you for answering. Now I also appreciate your honesty.
