Hidden Figures

Women handling numbers, physics, cars, other machinery and standing up for themselves? Yes, please!
Based on real people and events Hidden Figures shows us the time when NASA dealt with different problems in order to successfully complete first space missions. Here we get to follow 3 (well, one more than others to be fair) African-American women and their problematic "journey" as they are "colored" and segregation is in what they live in.
What I loved about it the most was how this movie managed to show difficult stressful situations, day-to-day unfairness with such lightness that it was impossible to get sad, angry or depressive. Big thanks must go to soundtracks for that. They could've just put in more dramatic (rather than something groovy and funky) songs and melodies but they didn't. I thank them.
Movie itself doesn't really show anything new, you know - it basically is any other space mission launching movie. The true story behind it is unique of course. What I want to say here is that the real life achievements of these women and their portrayal was very pleasurable and satisfying to see but what wasn't so amazing - how it was quite typically done (view points, dialogues, the whole picture itself, even saw some cliche scenes).
Although it is about three African-Americans Taraji P. Hensons character is seen way more than others. In my eyes Janelle Monáe was the one who popped out of the crew as the most interesting one to watch but unfortunately I didn't feel like her character was given a fair chance here. AND YET -
Octavia Spencer is the one who gets the Oscar nomination? REALLY? Don't get it but okay..
As I am bad in history and wasn't there at that time I can't judge how true or fabricated this movie is in reality and I don't even want to. Watched it, liked it very much and won't argue about "facts".
All in all - a very good, humane drama with splashes of lightness through tough times. Great main lady ensemble, soundtracks and overall feeling after the end credits. And feelings are what basically make my rating, so..

Rating: ★★★★
