The Movie i will be talking about and believe is the best movie of all time is HIdden

Figures. This movie is an amazing movie mainly because it goes beyond the aspects of the initial

theme. But in this movie the storyline,the conflict, the history, the actors, the settings. The story

is about The historic and the untold story of Katherine G. Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan,and Mary

Jackson, brilliant African-American women working at NASA, who served as the brains behind

one of the “greatest operations in history''. The outline and the setting of the story is so important

because the story took place in 1961. During the time period of 1961 and during this time period

it was when segregation was highly invested in the state. And the women working in NASA

were black . So these 3 women alone had their own story lines on their everyday lives from work

and their everyday lives while at work competing with coworkers of different races that would

sometimes be grown with jealousy.

This movie is made great because it gives detail and shows the historical moments of these

three women specifically . As the movie is brought to the audience's attention the actors that

played the parts as “Katherine G. Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan,and Mary Jackson” were Taraji P.

Henson, Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Monáe. These three actors made the movie better just

based on their acting skills. They made the passion of the storyline so much better for the
audience. We should recognize all these things because of the historical moment that is brought

to attention and recognize the actors that brought us the passion behind the story to attention .
