I saw the "Hidden Figures" film recently, and liked it. It seems like one of those things that are good for a lot of people to see, especially in tech.<p>The still image that the CNN piece picked wasn't very representative of the film, IMHO. The scene had a place in the context of the rest of the film, and perhaps conveys some of the spirit that helped them through, but picking that single still alone seemed to me (I could be mistaken) more likely a decision of an advertiser than the director.<p>One thing the film didn't and couldn't do, though I wish it could've: in some scenes, when one of the main characters is treated badly, I wish I could've been there in the real world analogue of it, and seen how all the others present reacted. The people who made the film convey a perspective on this, using the tools of film, and it's believable and helpful. But no one actually knows all of what everyone in the room was thinking and hinted at. What people were actually thinking, and how they acted, as wrongs were happening, also seems something important to learn from.
