Couldv'e been fantastic but...

The actual story is absolutely amazing, definitely one of triumph over adversity. What ruined it for me was how all the actors looked so polished and preened. If you watch the real footage at the end, there is not one scrap of makeup on the female soldiers. This made it feel unauthentic. I also found the script and some of the acting a bit woolly.Saying that, what the actual battalion did in real life was and is incredible. It's worth a watch just to learn what they actually achieved. I just wish the film did real justice to those soldiers. I feel like they would have been a lot tougher in reality and certainly wouldn't have looked like they'd just stepped out of a beauty salon.

PLUS 1 cause I learned something.

It did seem a bit like a hallmark movie (which I can't stand), but I did enjoy it, and I added 1 more point because I learned something.I understand the technical complaints some veterans had, and I don't undertand why they didn't seem to get advice for that aspect of the film. But it seemed to me that many of the negative comments were because the reviewers thought that the film had some kind of agenda, or a slant, and that it was "too busy pushing political ideology". The truth hurts for some people. It is abhorrent how blacks were treated by whites, and it's sad there are people who are triggered by that fact. That's the bottom line with criticism like that.

So how did these women bring off this impressive feat?

This is not a great movie, but it's certainly watchable. And the fact that so many of the previous 141 reviewers say that they had never heard of the 6888 and what they accomplished shows that a movie needed to be made on the subject. So bravo Tyler Perry for doing this.My one objection is that the movie never spends time telling us how these women managed to get through all that mail in only three months. That was their signal accomplishment, what made them famous, and the movie never tells us.It does tell us that several other units had been assigned the task previously and failed, so the 6888's achievement certainly merits recognition.The obvious parallel contrast here is *Hidden Figures*, a downright remarkable movie that does not sell its audience short, but rather takes the time to let us see how those "human calculators" accomplished what they did. It makes us admire their ingenuity and intelligence, as well as their courage and perseverance.I suspect the women of the 6888 had these qualities as well, but we really never get to see it.There are books on the subject. I guess I'll have to go out and read one.
