Hidden Figures is an amazing movie, mainly because of it's cast, plot and historical accuracy. It is about three African-American women working for NASA in the early 1960s. They have to overcome many obstacles from that time period, such as: sexism, racism and discrimination. They are very smart mathematicians, with their IQ underrated by colleagues on a daily basis, due to their skin colour and sometimes, their gender. It shows it's high detail of historical accuracy by an interview on television by Martin Luther King Jr, a news broadcast about an attack on a bus full of coloured people protesting and the police being forced to stop a group of coloured, also protesting. At one part of the movie, Dorothy and her two sons are kicked out of a library, due to them not being in the coloured section. Before she is kicked out however, she manages to steal a book about coding; her job at NASA is working with computers. Historical accuracy is also shown by the names being correct, instead of the creators having no knowledge of this.
I knew that the movie was going to enjoyable for me, due to one of the cast members: Jim Parsons. He played the role of Paul Stafford in the movie, and in a television show my brother and I enjoy watching: The Big Bang Theory, he plays the memorable role of Professor Sheldon Cooper. I was correct, making the film all the more enjoyable for me; I knew one of the actors would have been good and would not have failed in delivering his role. I said the same about Tom Hiddleston in my war horse review.
The music was made by Pharrell Williams, who is known for his role of making the music for Despicable Me Two. His song 'Happy' reached number one in the music charts in The US, UK, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand and nineteen other countries. In the United States, it reached 6.45 million copies sold in 2014.
Overall, I would rate Hidden Figures an 8/10, due to the reasons stated above. I would recommend watching it if you are into civil rights, equality, America in the 1960s or NASA in the 1960s. It has a very high rating of 92% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Thank you for reading this review of the movie: Hidden Figures by Joshua Naish.
