The mother gave brisk answers not wanting to miss a moment. The daughter was interested and wanted to follow every detail. At the theater, I sat next to a nineish year old who kept asking her mother questions. Beyond this major stumble, Hidden Figures is well worth anyone's time. Sad, because doubts are not what stories this wonderful deserve. The point is after I watched Hidden Figures I wanted to learn if I had been lied too. Others asked the same questions and the answers are readily available. I'm not going to share any more of my digging here. Not the one you think, and perhaps the true story demonstrates more bravery. On the day of the launch, did John Glenn trust Johnson's calculations over the IBM? It turns out only one of these inclusions are factual. Did Johnson really need to run a half a mile just to use the restroom? Or even the climax. After watching some Hollywood like Johnson erupting at her boss's boss, it becomes more difficult to believe in the little things. I cannot say if what the creators did is ethical, but the addition of obviously manufactured drama was a damning decision. The director/writer Melfi and co-writer Schroeder were clearly unsatisfied with the quiet, real nobility with which these woman conducted themselves. The woman at the core are also very deserving of a chance in the sun. The mix presents America at its finest and most appalling. We have seen heroes fighting against segregation. Beyond the highlight performances, the scenario is well worth a shot. Kudos to the supporting roles played by Ali and Costner. I will be on the lookout for more from this talent. Henson is solid, but Spencer is Oscar worthy and Monae's performance is part of a spectacular 2016. Having the performances to anchor your character drama goes along way. These women must meet challenges in the workplace then return home to more struggles African-Americans were fighting nationwide.
Finally Mary Jackson (Monae), who is trying to overcome discriminatory policies to become NASA's first female engineer. Second, Dorothy Vaughan (Spencer), leader of the "colored computers." She wants both the supervisor title she deserves and to survive the transition to IBM's mechanical computers.
First Katherine Johnson (Henson), our lead, a gifted mathematician and human computer trying to carve out a roll in the Space Test Group. Hidden Figures is an upbeat, inspiring tale about the role three African-American women played in the NASA program during the early 60's. Unfortunately, here the need to do some fact checking might not stem from all the right reasons. This is one of those "based on true events" films that the moment you return from the theater you're going to hop on the internet and explore the story.
