The title alone is enough to get my heart racing with excitement, because these three women were clearly significant figures, striking out and forging their own destiny in the process. When Nick Fury breaks into Steve’s apartment and plays some music very loudly to cover their conversation, he’s put on a record that Rogers had hanging around his apartment: the Harry James. Released by Varese Sarabande in 1987 (VCD 47349) containing music from The Hidden (1987).
The song is “Destiny’s Vision” by Q-Factory, and I invite anyone to listen to it within the context of this trailer without feeling starting to well up a bit. The Hidden soundtrack from 1987, composed by Michael Convertino. And, really, there couldn’t be a more appropriate song than this swelling and classic piece whose title and overall mood capture the feat and failures that these women faced. Based on the life of three black women who worked at NASA and were the mathematic brains behind the launch that blasted John Glenn into space, Hidden Figures needed a song that could capture these women’s amazing contributions.
But it might also be because the song really does fit the occasion of this momentous movie. Filmmaker Ti West returns with another chapter from the twisted world of X, in this astonishing follow-up to the years most acclaimed horror film. I’m such a sucker for anyone who can find right music for a specific occasion, so that might be why the song in the Hidden Figures trailer is getting me all kinds of emotional. Leave it to the brilliant trailer makers behind Hidden Figures to come up with the perfect song for the perfect movie.
