Why this movie is a good thing.
Criticism of this movie as 'revisonist' history is a little too much for me.
History is a serious craft. Master historians can spend a lifetime studying just one person or one era.
I have never heard of a master historian use a movie for his foundation.
This movie gives confidence and hope to women (esp black) who historically have been told they are intellectually inferior.
Who knows how many young women of color will see this movie and be inspired.
If this movie creates just one doctor, one scientist, one person who can contribute to society in a meaningful way....that is a win in my book.
