Hidden Figures.
 
Hidden Figures (2017) - Rotten Tomatoes

Anyone seen this? Looks quite good. My U of MN Law School live-in girlfriend Jennifer V's best friend Sandy H., was a computer programmer at NASA here in Florida. Not sure if she is still there as Jennifer and I went our separate ways. Must be exciting to work for NASA.

Before computers were commonplace, humans did the computing. The inspiring story of 3 women of color who worked as human computers for NASA. The movie is set in 1961 in the early days of the space race between the USA and the Soviet Union. The acting is first class. Octavia Spencer deserves her Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress. I think Taraji P. Henson should had gotten a Best Actress nomination. This is a movie you can take your granddaughters or younger female relatives to without hesitation.

I just sent an e-mail to my kids recommending that they take the older granddaughters to see the movie. It was an informative and inspiring movie - well done.

I loved this movie. Went to see it at early morning showing and movie was about 3/4 full. Best movie I have seen in a long time.

The early morning seems to be a great time to go to the movies except I have a dog who needs his exercise as do I.

When we did not have a dog around 5 days in 2014 I went to a few of these early morning shows.

Hidden Figures wins Screen Actors Guild Award for Movie Cast.
 
The 23rd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards | Screen Actors Guild Awards

Maybe it will beat La La Land at the Oscars for Best Picture?

Fabulous movie. 25 of us went to the 10:30 AM showing and then to lunch to discuss. Everyone loved it. Amazing this was not public info years ago.

Still a little crowded at the Rialto.

Excellent movie

I just viewed it recently and echo all of the other posts...absolutely excellent!! :thumbup:


The real shame is not only the obstacles these African-American ladies (and men) faced back then, but that a story this uplifting and awe inspiring...took so long to be told in a movie. :ohdear:
