Thumbs up for Jose’.
“See, those invaders that are coming over the border in masses are future rocket scientist and astronauts. We need them all to “help conquer” the Russians.”
Don’t laugh. There are plenty of dumbed-down Americans that will believe the propaganda. And yeah, they all vote Democrat.
We saw this and it’s a decent movie.
If he really did get the keys to all of Lawrence Livermore (because the secretary kept assuming he was a janitor) and if he did use them to break into a lab to run simulations that helped with ABM-type efforts, then the general race themes seem sustainable. However, white engineers are painted as simply stupid, which I found wholly inappropriate.
I will say that white guys my wife and I know at work can be just like these people, and they are often promoted over you.
Companies promote idiots, probably because those promoting them are incompetent and don’t want a former underling ever in a position over them. They instead want people they can fully manipulate and have owe them favors.
If America is as racist as this movie claims, this Mexican-American would have NEVER gone into space.
Denzel’s good.
Only one I will go see.
He did help as a migrant farm worker, but he continued with school.
As a child in the 1960s, Hernandez leaves Mexico with his parents to travel up and down California as seasonal laborers. He excels in school whenever he can get away from field work. The white kids mock his accent but he embarrasses them in class with his intellect. We learn from a drawing of a rocket ship that he wants to be an astronaut some day.
Does he break into the space capsule and/or sneak aboard?

According to the article - that was the crux of the movie, from what I read - how racist, hostile and unfair Americans, particularly White Americans are.
According to that move, but for those black women, we never would have gone into space, let alone landed on the moon.
“I almost never see a movie with a minority lead because it will be full of SJ and diversity BS.
I blackslide however to see Equalizer 3.”
Denzel movies are usually pretty good. He is one of the “less woke” Hollywood actors, so far.
This is eerily similar to that movie about the NASA super math genius who was a black woman. IIRC, they seemingly tried to portray all of NASA as treating the woman and her “team” as some kind of Math Jemima’s or something and the problems she overcame in addressing the pervasive racism and gender bias.
Frankly, it looks like the rest of this century (or at least generation) will be subjected to nothing but reminding white people how racist they are and how only peoples of color have done anything worth lauding. All you have to do is look at the pictures that accompany nearly every streaming service offering. If there’s a PoC in the show somewhere in any role he/she/it gets top visual billing. This isn’t just happenstance. Part of an overall combined effort, IMO.
“I almost never see a movie with a minority lead because it will be full of SJ and diversity BS.”
AND EVEN WORSE, the producers and writers figure that being full of SJ and diversity BS means that it’s not necessary for the film to have character development, engaging and believable story, engaging and believable dialog, good cinematography and editing, and all the other factors that make a great film, BECAUSE being full of SJ and diversity BS is completely sufficient unto itself for churning out a film ...
Yes, and I’m sure we have enough money to cover their welfare-for-life, Section 8 housing, educations for their many children, doctors and hospitals for all the medical care they’ll need, - and in the Southwest, we have plenty of water to go around too - and the aging electrical grid will easily handle all of the illegal wiring the illegals will hook up to the system.
“Stand And Deliver”, staring the awesome actor, Edwards James Olmos ...
I live in that very state - California!!
That happened to a certain US secretary of state. She was mistaken for a cleaning lady.
“O.K. José, you’re on your way!” ;O)
Yep. My dad was a part of the space race - not that he didn't have advanced degrees in physics and engineering, my uncle in astrophysics and mathematics, both taught graduate students at the university level - any dumb old White can achieve that, right?
Good those guys were "shown the way" by those brilliant black women and migrant farm workers, right?
