"Hidden Figures"

I saw this very,uplifting movie in in January,. Taraji P. Henson played Katherine Johnson{she wears the 50's style glasses},who was part of John Glenn's flight team. Katherine is the only remaining woman in this group alive today,I believe she is 98
I suggest if anybody did not see the movie,read the book the movie is based by Margot Lee Shatterly.The book is more detailed,but some of the scenes in the book are in the movie. Shatterly's father worked with these ladies,told his daughter stories about them.Its too bad,we had to wait 60yrs to learn about these remarkable women Sue
 

I agree with all the above comments. It's one of the few movies that I wish HBO or Netflix had done and make it a mini series instead. I would have liked to get to know the personal lives of the characters better. I will check out the book !
 
I saw an interview with Taraji. When she was writing all those long equations on the chalkboard those were real equations. It couldn't be faked because math professionals would pick up on that. So every night when Taraji studied her lines she had to MEMORIZE those equations! Wow.
