Wow that was a good movie, the first time watching it, all the way through, with you two. It was a bit irritating how people use to treat each other and that was 28 years before I was born. But it was a good movie about 3 women rising in their skillset. I like movies that are based on true stories like A beautiful Mind and Schindlers list.

2024-05-13 09:06:48 +0000 UTCOne of the things that I thought of was just how exceptional the rest of those women in the room must have been just to have been there! I know the other 17 out of the 20 that Dorothy supervised weren't the focus of the story, but they all would have been the brightest in math in their class. They would all have faced issues with being the only woman in the most advanced classes and in many cases had to fight to be allowed to take them at all. It was a whole room filled with excellence!

2024-03-16 07:08:38 +0000 UTCYou just said it BJ. You knew nothing about these women. Hence the title of the movie Hidden Figures. I knew nothing about these women either. I’m so glad this movie was made.

2024-02-25 19:39:39 +0000 UTCThis is such a great movie! Teraji, Octavia and Janelle portrayed those characters so well. Another great movie that Teraji was in recently (I believe it was in 2019), is called The Best of Enemies. She starred in that alongside Sam Rockwell (the guy from The Green Mile, who killed the little girls).

2024-02-18 15:06:42 +0000 UTCI loved watching this movie with you, although I must admit that too often what I felt was anger. Anger at the blind and stupid prejudice that would have kept these women, whose brilliant minds were so extraordinary, from reaching their potential and would have also resulted in a great loss for all of humanity. This is where the true greatness of film can really change our outlook on things. I never heard of these women until this movie came out and yet their contribution was so enormous to the space program. Thank goodness their achievements have been recognized at last. And let us just hope that going forward other talented people of color and other minorities will not be hindered by truely ridiculous and hateful attitudes. Watching this with you was a privilege.
