Review of Hidden Figures (2016) by Keane M — 18 May 2017
A true story with all the trimmings that Oprah Winfrey - or Speilberg - must be kicking themselves for not optioning, and the movie, good as it is, would've been better if they had. Watching the extra materials leaves one sensing that the producer, Donna Gigliotti, was trying to right all the wrongs with the crew selected, and its proportions, for the Atlanta shoot.
The story reminds a bit of "The Imitation Game" in the breaking of the Enigma where women were, as here, the anthropoidal computers - minus the uniquely southern American elements. And at 97 the central character yet lives - & was Freedom Medal honored by President Obama.
Terrific.
