I think lala land is going to win though because that was fantastic a
This scene alone should earn Taraji P. Henson an Oscar. It should hit you in your gut and make you feel. This movie is about so much more than science and rocket ships, it’s about three black women who were pivotal in getting the U.S. into space. It’s a story of struggle and of triumph and it matters.
This film was so beautiful written, so well acted, and so authentic. It’s a story that so many people can relate to, even now, over 50 years after it takes place. Hidden Figures is a story that everyone should see, because it matters. It probably won’t win many awards, neither will Moonlight, or Fences, all 3 amazing films telling stories that we don’t usually get to hear.
I’m sick of movies like La La Land getting all the attention.
Movies like La La Land almost always win because they’re critical darlings, but we should watch movies like Hidden Figures because they matter a whole lot more than a movie about a white jazz pianist and a struggling white actress.
