Hidden Figures is a true-based story film about 3 African-American women from Virginia with extraordinary life story. Dorothy, Katherine and Mary worked at NASA in the mathematics department. They, with another 20 black women stood on cusp of great game changer of space exploration. Since it was early 1960s and the changes in Civil Rights just began, these women faced a lot of challenges of being noticed and appreciated as professionals. After all against all rules Dorothy began the first black supervisor at NASA, Mary - the first black woman, who was allowed to study engineering, Katherine - the first black woman, who had a clearance to secret documents of NASA and did all calculations.
Of course, lots of people could say that this film is only about the problems of the civil rights in America, race and sex discriminations, timeless competition between two countries - America and Russia. And maybe it is, but for me it is not a key point.
No matter how progressive and open-minded our live is and it will be, everybody once in a time could faces a problem of unfairness of life. This film shows unfairness on the extreme level, but nevertheless these women became first at what they did.
For me this film is a strongly motivation one, it shows how to break the rules even the whole society against you. The only thing what matter to make your dreams come true is how much you want them. Nothing else matters.
So, maybe for me this film was too much politics (more than I wanted). I guess now it is becoming popular to shoot films, where all global issues should be covered. But overall, I think that the film was succeed.
The director was good, and the casting was outstanding. There were enough drama and humour episodes in the films, everything were balanced. The soundtrack for the film was fantastic! What I liked the most is how the music was implemented to the film, great job!
I will recommend this film. Don't go deep to the politics problems, maybe this will frightened you. Take it as a true-based story which shows that whoever you are, you can have an unbelievable success in you life and be the FIRST.
