Hidden Figures brings to light the true story of three African-American women who helped NASA send a man to space.
This film portrays the three women in a positive light in spite of the times back in the 60s during Kennedy's presidency and Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy. It shows what, not just African-Americans, but African-American women had to go through, especially while working for NASA.
Despite its good performances and story, the plot did not exude much emotion from me, other than pride in how the women handled their situations and the ones that stood up for them.
The film is similar to The Help in terms of showing the inequality and what the characters do to make it right. The only difference being that this one has science.
This film is good, but I do not think it will win any awards. 4 popcorns.
