the figures behind the scenes that had the elusive numbers hidden but were had to think outside the box

Rating: 10/10 (26 February 2017)

the Director:Theodore Melfi who directed st Vincent with great acting from bill Murray and Melissa McCarthy does great jobs of getting historical facts out in the wider public an unknown NASA story about colored women in the 60 doing all sort of scientific work like computers put were shunned because of the racial divide The story of a team of African-American women mathematicians who served a vital role in NASA during the early years of the US space program. This film has low budgets but kick butt with other higher profile picture for the Oscars they are the rocky of the awards season under dogs with a big heart The best movies show us our shared connections., Hidden Figures absolutely does. The film tells the story of three African-American women who were chasing a police car as an escort after the women car had a broken down. who are experts in Stem (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths). We see so few women on screen working in these fields, and even fewer who are African American. And the fact that this is a true story, yet one most are unfamiliar with, is disgraceful. We've been deprived this amazing story about women of colour for too long. But the movie doesn't dwell on the fact that history has ignored these women's invaluable contributions. Through Hidden Figures' emotions, wonderful acting and joy we become a part of the story and are taken on a ride with these women that culminates in one of the greatest feats of humanity: a person going into space. What Hidden Figures teaches us is that man made it to space thanks to the calculations of an incredibly brilliant African-American woman. With its box office success, Hidden Figures has proved that audiences are hungry for these types of stories, and just like with the Russians getting into space just before Alan shephard did their trials NASA found untapped talent in a group of African-American female mathematicians that served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in U.S. history. Based on the unbelievably true life stories of three of these women, known as "human computers", we follow these women as they quickly rose the ranks of NASA alongside many of history's greatest minds specifically tasked with calculating the momentous launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit, and guaranteeing his safe return. Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, and Katherine Johnson crossed all gender, race, and professional lines while their brilliance and desire to dream big, beyond anything ever accomplished before by the human race, firmly cemented them in U.S. history as true American heroes Kevin Costner character was AL Harrison who was trying to get a these numbers and make sure the rockets and people got back so with taraaji p Henson playing the brain-box with memory for numbers but people who kept putting her back because her reports go through AL assistant Paul Stafford played by Jim parson who character was over whelmed by how much the accuracy of the GPS coordinated were by the Katherine and with the help of her friends they won over the colou divide and a mile and a half toilet situation and with a mini budget of 25 mill it has made 146 mill and counting this one will give la la land a run for its money and with the help of NASA archive it gives historic accuracy to the unknown women behind the science this 2hrs 7mins I gave a worthy 10 out of 10 it might win for best actress and best editing you couldn't get a true story great acting all around here kevin Costner deserved an award here for pushing the boundaries
