Watch Malcolm X Debate Sam Cooke in ‘One Night in Miami’ | Anatomy of a Scene
In a heated conversation onscreen, the way performers approach silent moments is as important as their dialogue. That is Regina King’s belief, and in her feature directing debut, “One Night in Miami” (streaming on Amazon), she extracts meaning from both the use of words and the absence of them.
The film takes place in 1964 on the night that Cassius Clay (Eli Goree) becomes heavyweight champion of the world. Afterward, he gathers at a hotel with Malcolm X (Kingsley Ben-Adir), Sam Cooke (Leslie Odom Jr.) and Jim Brown (Aldis Hodge). The celebratory evening leads to passionate debate about, among other things, the ways that famous Black men should contribute to the civil rights movement.
In this sequence Malcolm criticizes Sam for not creating the kind of music that would more strongly support the cause, and sparring ensues between them. In her narration, King discusses how she built the scene to steer the audience from one perspective to another.

Watch Gal Gadot Fight Crime at the Mall in ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ | Anatomy of a Scene
Yes, there are fanny packs and mustaches galore in “Wonder Woman 1984,” but also some breathtaking action. This early scene takes place at a very ’80s mall (complete with Waldenbooks), and gives the hero a chance to shine in a more playful way before the movie heads down a more serious path.
Before the scene’s end, Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) has lassoed a few criminals, while both saving and delighting children along the way. Narrating the scene, the director Patty Jenkins discusses the effort that went into pulling off some of its high-flying stunts, which she says relied not on digital doubles, but talented, malleable stunt performers and intricate wire work.

The Times’s visual investigation team built a 3-D model of the scene and pieced together critical sequences of events to show how poor planning and shoddy police work led to a fatal outcome.

Watch Chadwick Boseman in a Scene From ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom | Anatomy of a Scene
A disagreement between musicians reaches a boiling point in this scene from “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” the Netflix film adaptation of August Wilson’s play.
Set in 1927, the film primarily follows the blues singer Ma Rainey (Viola Davis) and her band during a challenging recording session in a Chicago studio. One of those challenges involves the tensions that arise between Ma and her headstrong horn player, Levee (Chadwick Boseman).
A conflict ignites when Levee doesn’t perform a song the way Ma requires. In this video, the director George C. Wolfe discusses how clashing personalities result in a catastrophic moment, and how he decided where a specific door, which plays a key part in the scene, would lead.

Watch the Stars of ‘Tenet’ Leap Tall Buildings | Anatomy of a Scene
In addition to its time-bending spectacle, “Tenet” manages to find room to spring its lead characters up the side of a tower.
One early scene in the globe-trotting movie (now available on digital and Blu-ray) finds its protagonist (John David Washington) in Mumbai on a mission with his partner (Robert Pattinson). The two are breaking into a high-rise mansion to get information from a resident (Denzil Smith). They fashion an elaborate rope-and-pulley system that helps launch them into the air, using momentum to essentially hop up the side of the building.
Nolan shot the scene with an initial launch of the actors, then a cut to stunt doubles who executed the building leap for real. He said the aerials are among the first that any film company has been allowed to shoot in Mumbai. He explains more in this video, as he discusses working with the Bollywood film star Dimple Kapadia and using local crew.

What My Grandfather Taught Me About Courage | Op-Docs
"A Concerto Is a Conversation" by Ben Proudfoot and Kris Bowers
-
Kris Bowers is one of Hollywood’s rising young composers. At 29, he scored the Oscar-winning film “Green Book” (2018), and this year he premiered a new violin concerto, “For a Younger Self,” at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. For all that success, though, he says that as a Black composer, “I’ve been wondering whether or not I’m supposed to be in the spaces that I’m in.”
In Ben Proudfoot and Kris Bowers's "A Concerto Is a Conversation," Bowers traces the process of breaking into new spaces through generations of sacrifice that came before him, focusing on the story of his grandfather Horace Bowers. As a young man, he left his home in the Jim Crow South, eventually ending up in Los Angeles. Encountering discrimination at every turn, he and his wife, Alice, nevertheless made a life as business owners.
Today, their legacy lives on through their family and community in South Los Angeles, where a stretch of Central Avenue was recently designated Bowers Retail Square — in case any question remained about whether it’s a place they belong.

Alexi Pappas: I Made It to the Olympics. I Wasn't Ready for What Happened Next. | NYT Opinion
What if athletes and coaches were trained to look for depression just as vigilantly as they’d be watching for a hamstring pull? In the Op-Ed video above, Alexi Pappas, who lives in Los Angeles, argues that we should view mental health and physical health as equally important and as treatable as a torn ACL. She would know. She’s a record-setting runner who raced at the 2016 Olympics in Rio but came crashing down after she experienced clinical depression soon after.
While she had been trained to pay close attention to her body, she was ill equipped when it came to handling psychological wounds. Imagine if sports — and society — designated the same amount of resources toward mental health screening and treatment as they do to physical well being and viewed a healthy body and mind as equally important to success?

Our Neighbors Committed Mass Murder, Here's What We Did | Op-Docs
Faced with a lack of prosecution of those accused of crimes against humanity committed during Argentina’s military dictatorship, family members and descendants of the country’s estimated 30,000 disappeared took action. In the mid-1990s, they began gathering outside of accused perpetrators’ homes and workplaces to publicly shame them and raise awareness about the government’s systematic and brutal targeting of its people — and how it had gone unpunished. The human rights group HIJOS (Sons and Daughters for Identity and Justice Against Forgetfulness and Silence) led and labeled this direct-action style of protest “escrache,” or exposure.
After years of organizing and sustained pressure from activist groups like HIJOS, the amnesty laws protecting the perpetrators were repealed. In Sean Mattison's "Atención! Murderer Next Door," we see how peaceful protests ensured that the perpetrators could no longer live in quiet anonymity. Now “escrache” is an important tool for activists seeking justice worldwide.

Why Is the U.S. Allowing Migrant Children to Die of the Flu? | NYT Opinion
As the coronavirus pandemic rages on, Americans have another disease to worry about — the flu. Fortunately, there’s already a cheap, effective and readily available influenza vaccine. So why aren’t migrant children in U.S. detention facilities getting it when we know the flu can be deadly? Under the Trump administration, at least three children who were detained have died of the flu.
In the video above, Dr. Mario Mendoza, who survived a harrowing journey migrating to the United States himself when he was just 7 years old, vows to change this. He’s determined to provide migrant children with access to a flu vaccine — even if he has to travel across the Mexican border to do so. No child should die of something so preventable because they’re in U.S. custody.

Why Does California Let Oil Wells Run Next to Elementary Schools? | NYT Opinion
California famously prides itself on environmental leadership — but what about when its lawmakers overlook problems in their own constituents’ backyards? It’s still legal to drill for oil there right next to schools and hospitals — despite well documented health risks to anyone nearby. In the video op-ed above, Josiah Edwards explains what it was like to grow up breathing in the toxic chemicals expelled by drilling. He traces the asthma that plagues his entire family to decades of redlining in Los Angeles County, which consigned Black and brown communities like theirs to live next to active oil wells. Even today, politicians keep rejecting legislation that would help protect Californians from these poisonous emissions. You may not have an oil drill in your backyard now, but if you live in California, there’s nothing stopping one from moving in tomorrow.

Watch a Harrowing Escape in ‘Run’ | Anatomy of a Scene
A teenager’s bedroom becomes an escape room in the thriller “Run,” streaming on Hulu. Kiera Allen plays Chloe, a wheelchair-user whose mother (Sarah Paulson) has locked her in. The stakes are high for her escape, and the how of it involves a different set of techniques than would be needed for a nondisabled person.
In this video, the film’s director, Aneesh Chaganty, says the sequence is something of a microcosm for what he was trying to do with the entire film: “take a normal house and turn every single element of that house into a massive, Burj Khalifa-scale obstacle.”
Chloe “MacGyvers” several objects from her room to aid her in breaking free. Chaganty discusses the meticulous storyboarding of the scene, as well as how he took cues from Hitchcock, M. Night Shyamalan and, for one nifty trick, a friend’s glassblower father.
