You don't need to understand the mathematics to enjoy the film, but I admit, it was fun to hear some concepts I haven't heard since my college days. Kevin Costner's character appears to be a generally good person who doesn't care about race, and yet still never even thought about the difficulty of being forced into a certain bathroom half a mile away. Katherine runs across campus just to find a bathroom that she is allowed to use and never once complaining about it until she is publicly berated about her use of time. Mary being reminded that she must sit in the back of the court room, again because of her race. And in spite of it being an overall positive experience, I could feel the oppression at certain points - Dorothy at the library just trying to find the right book, but it is in a part of the library to which she cannot gain admittance due to her race. You should walk away from this film smiling, maybe even a bit choked up. The climax is a bit Apollo 13ish, and I'm fairly certain some scenes were embellished, but who cares. It's also an important look back at the civil rights issues of the time period. Solid performances by all, some laugh-out-loud scenes, and some very emotional moments. This is the true story of three African-American women who worked for NASA on the Mercury program in the early 1960s.
