A excellent movie

This was a very empowering movie and I like how they played the "Segregation" parts it was done with subtly as if this were a matter of fact. No one gave it another thought, until it was finally brought to a fore front and then you can see the process. Which was still slow, first with the coffee pot and then with the rest room. But it stopped at the lunch room, that was still a separate room for "Colored" vs "White". The whole movie nailed it without being over the top. I especially loved the acting, this was phenomenal from start to finish. Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monáe knocked their perspective roles out of the ball park. Each of them showed compassion, kindness and tolerance while throwing a little shade and chutzpah at the established order of things. Also want to throw a shout out to Kevin Costner and Jim Parson's for their roles in this movie equally done as they showed the thinking of the time in a job that was normally held by White Males' and they slowly come around to opening their minds. Especially after the scene were Katherine goes off on the whole team about why it is she has to use a separate bathroom that is half way across the facility and also a separate coffee pot. You can almost hear the thought process of Mr. Harrison after Katherine storms off as he looks at the Coffee pot and see's the word "Colored" on it. You can swear with a look he gives the rest of the team of "Seriously!?" as he takes the sticker off and then he goes to town on the bathroom sign. This movie demonstrated the aspect of if you want something to be better you have to go out and do it not wait for someone to come along and hand it to you. All in told an excellent movie and a good crowd pleaser.
