Lecture or Entertainment?

Rating: 5/10 (3 February 2020)

Hidden Figures gives Hollywood another chance to ruin a potentially great film with propaganda about racism. The three lead characters are well played and charismatic and their achievements and actual experiences could have provided a real entertaining crowd-pleaser. However, a decision was made to tack this story onto a lecture about racism, featuring the usual collection of mainly bigoted, narrow-minded, white racists. The film has the subtlety of a sledge-hammer to the face. It is now difficult to find a Hollywood film that does not have a SJW agenda or or some propaganda.
I can't wait for Hidden Figures 2, featuring an unknown slice of history, long concealed from general knowledge - how three slave women helped Abraham Lincoln draft his Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction.
