A Good Movie
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It did make me think about STEM. Before now I hadn't. It's the future that demands our children be well versed in it,
sharePersonally I thought that between Moonlight and Hidden Figures that this should have won the Oscar for best film as I thought it was by far the better movie.
shareYeah me too. I usually don't bother watching the Oscars. I was hoping for them to win. Taraji Henson looked great.
shareDidn't watch it.
Taraji is a great actress. Her outburst about simply having to go to the toilet after being asked where she had been was amazing. She covered it all... anger, shame, embarrassment, humiliation, indignation, injustice and exasperation. Best scene of the movie imho.
I've not seen Moonlight yet but I didn't think this film deserved the Oscar for Best Picture.. I found it interesting to learn about a piece of history I knew nothing of before but I didn't think it was an amazing film or the best of this year. Either Lion or Snowdon would have been my choice.
shareI've not seen Moonlight yet but I did catch Loving a few weeks ago and I think it's much better than Hidden Figures.
I'm not saying Hidden Figures is a poor film - I enjoyed the film and liked the cast especially the three leading ladies. But it feels a bit worthy and taps away at the theme of discrimination and we're given a series of emotionally charged moments along the way to respond to.
By contrast Loving is a story told in a relatively low key way and superbly acted by the two leads. The constant pressure of discrimination is always there but there are no histrionics to underline it - the story, also a true story, just feels more natural.
