Plan on seeing this this weekend. If the snow doesn't stop me

Did this movie come & go? Nobody really seems to be talking about it.

Just came out today dude. Been in limited release in select cities but the official release was today

Got to catch this early. Janelle Monae gave a better performance in this than she did in Moonlight.

Very inspiring film



Me and my girl were sitting next to a few teenage black girls who were shocked at some of the scenes that showcased segregation and many of the "colored only" signs what are these kids learning in school?

They're most likelyand now they're going to feel strange when they see their white boyfriends

 

[NobodyReally]

when you say you expected more familial drama..did you want to see more...or just thought there would be more?

I think I just expected more because of what we're used to. It actually is refreshing they didn't go there. Maybe she didn't have any drama at home. lol.

oh ok..cool. I agree that it's refreshing they didn't. There's already enough intrigue and drama with what they are actually working on...I'm not a fan of when they add in non-pertinent extra conflict(That I personally don't care for)

Spoiler

I was glad that they glossed over the wedding and didn't show the ceremony, and got right back to the story.

But if she was a brilliant mathematician, she was probably a lot more logical thinker than the majority of women who use emotion as the foundation of their conversations.

Hollywood promoted this very well, so props for that. Side note: Glenn never went to the moon, he orbited the earth. But that's a discussion for another time and thread.

The irony of your extremely sexist and misogynistic comment is that those very notions about females being illogical are shown in the film as being the barriers these women faced in their fight for equality.

Also ironical is that despite being male, your point is NOT logical at all. Stephen Hawking, one of the most brilliant mathematicians in modern history just had a movie based on his life and it was filled with family drama. Drama he started and told for his own biography.

Just saw this tonight, I enjoyed it. Highly recommend watching it

 

[OmegaK2099]

I saw it i liked it, double toasted hit the nail on the head in their review. I liked the soundtrack, someone hook it up

 

[mastermind]

I liked the movie a lot. Really enjoyed it.

Also made me angry at white people. They rather keep their ignorance and racist notions more than creating a big tent and bringing in all ideas.

 

[OmegaK2099]

I want to punch sheldon cooper more than ever now

Tariq Nasheed just called out "Hidden Figures" movie for ripping off Hidden Colors

Tariq Nasheed and the Coli women haters.

Fantastic movie. Loved the way they showed the subtlety of racism and prejudice. The injustices that so many people either ignore or flat-out don't realize exist, simply because "that's the way it is". I think it's important to recognize that discrimination takes many forms beyond outright violence and hateful bigotry. The little things are, in some ways, worse BECAUSE they can be so easily ignored.

Family members tell me it is good. Have to find time to go check it out.
