Inside a Covid I.C.U., Through a Nurse's Eyes | NYT Opinion
The short film above allows you to experience the brutality of the pandemic from the perspective of nurses inside a Covid-19 intensive care unit.
Opinion Video producer Alexander Stockton spent several days reporting at the Valleywise Medical Center in Phoenix. Two I.C.U. nurses wore cameras to show what it’s like to care for the sickest Covid patients a year into the pandemic.
So many Americans have died in hospitals without family by their side, but they were not alone. Nurses brush patients’ teeth, change their catheters and hold their hands in their final moments.
In just a year, we’ve lost half a million Americans to Covid-19. Vaccinations may be offering some relief, but inside I.C.U.s, nurses continue to contend with the trauma and grief of America’s carousel of death.

Watch Frances McDormand Explore Nature in ‘Nomadland’ | Anatomy of a Scene
The landscapes of Badlands National Park become a place to get both lost and found in this scene from “Nomadland.”
Frances McDormand plays Fern, a woman who sets out for a life on the road when her economic situation becomes dire during the recession. She gets work in the Badlands of South Dakota and explores the park in this sequence that features a number of nonprofessional actors, along with the veteran performer David Strathairn.
Narrating the scene, the director Chloé Zhao discusses her work to make these moments in the park feel improvised, even though they were written and carefully staged. Fern does have time to wander though, and Zhao says that the ways McDormand moves and explores in the scene remind her of Buster Keaton or Charlie Chaplin. We see a little brightness in her discoveries, but the enjoyment is still bittersweet.

What Menopause Feels Like | Op-Docs
About half of the world's population will experience menopause, yet it's a period that can be isolating for a woman in their personal and professional life. Menopause marks the end of menstruation, and the changes that come with it are often not discussed openly. In Bronwen Parker-Rhodes's Op-Doc above, women across England share their intimate, complicated and illuminating experiences with menopause. It's a conversation that should happen more often, and without fear.

Watch Lakeith Stanfield Being Interrogated in ‘Judas and the Black Messiah’ | Anatomy of a Scene
A handful of questions asked during an interrogation in “Judas and the Black Messiah” are key to propelling the plot of this tense historical drama.
Set in the late 1960s, the movie follows William O’Neal (Lakeith Stanfield), a young man who becomes an informant, feeding the F.B.I. intelligence about the Chicago Black Panther Party and one of its leaders, Fred Hampton (Daniel Kaluuya.) This early scene comes after O’Neal is caught using a fake F.B.I. badge to steal a car.
Narrating the sequence, King says the moment is about “the danger of being apolitical.” O’Neal is asked his feelings about the assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and admits to being upset. But when asked about the killing of Malcolm X, he has more of an indifferent response. “We really wanted to hit home the old phrase, if you stand for nothing you’ll fall for anything,” King narrates.

Evictions Are On Hold, But What Happens When Rent Is Eventually Due? | NYT Opinion
Since this video was first released by The New York Times, the federal eviction moratorium has been extended to March 31. Despite the extension, past rent will still be due once the moratorium ends.
----------
Across the country, coronavirus cases are soaring. Everyone knows by now the best way to stay safe is to stay home. But on March 31, if nothing changes, 30 million Americans are facing eviction.
In the video above, you’ll meet two hard-working single mothers living in Atlanta, Ga who suddenly lost income because of the virus. While the eviction moratorium kept a roof over their heads, it didn’t stop the back rent and late fees from accumulating — and with no relief in sight, they can’t possibly pay off all the money they owe no matter how many hours they work.
Since the pandemic upended the lives of tens of millions of Americans, congressional aid has been far too little, far too late. Now that Democrats have taken control of the Senate, can we finally enact a long-term solution?

Watch a Queasy Encounter in ‘Promising Young Woman’ | Anatomy of a Scene
“I’m a nice guy,” says Neil, the character played by Christopher Mintz-Plasse in this scene from “Promising Young Woman,” which received four Golden Globe nominations this week and is available on demand. He utters the line (more than once) after picking up Cassandra (Carey Mulligan). He had thought she was too drunk to rebuff him, and she turns out to be anything but. The movie is a kind of revenge tale with Cassandra at the center, but in some ways it defies easy genre categorization.
With this sequence, the film’s writer and director, Emerald Fennell, said she was going for a subversion of the kind of scene typically found in romantic comedies, even casting Mintz-Plasse, whom audiences may best know from the comedy “Superbad.”
“The nerdy nice guy who’s not very confident with women, who’s maybe struggling to write his first novel,” she said, “is maybe using alcohol as a cover for slightly more nefarious activities.”
The situation plays as two narratives being perceived very differently by the characters involved, and Fennell directed her cast in a way to amp up those contrasts.
“When you look at Chris’s performance, what I said to him, as I said to everyone in this movie, really was, this is your movie, you’re the romantic hero, you’re the nice guy, and this is your falling-in-love moment.”
For Cassandra, a woman who has been calling out creeps for this behavior on a regular basis, Fennell said she admired how well Mulligan embodied the dual elements of the character.
“She’s just so brilliant at drawing that line between completely real but also knowing.”

How Joe Biden Defeated Donald Trump | NYT Opinion
Presidential campaigns are a lot like sprawling, intricate machines: So many moving parts. So much that can go wrong.
Joe Biden’s blueprint for victory was crazier than most. Take a look for yourself in the video above. It wasn’t just that he was running against a sitting president who enjoys all the advantages of incumbency. This incumbent was willing to use his office to undermine the democratic process to hold onto power. Then the pandemic upended the usual rules of campaigning.
And yet, somehow, Mr. Biden and his team kept the gears turning and the machine whirring all the way to the White House. When he takes the presidential oath of office on Wednesday, it will be nothing short of a herculean achievement.

Why We Shouldn't Call the Capital Rioters 'Terrorists.' | NYT Opinion
Adama Bah was just 16 years old when FBI agents stormed her family’s Harlem apartment in 2005 and arrested her, falsely accusing her of being a potential suicide bomber. She was held for six weeks in a youth detention facility before being released with no charges. This was post-9/11 America, when ordinary Muslims were routinely targeted by laws intended to prosecute terrorists. In the video op-ed above, Bah argues that although we do need to combat white supremacist violence in America, creating new antiterror laws to do so — and expanding the War on Terror — will only backfire on innocent Black and brown people.

Martin Luther King III: My Father Had Another Dream | NYT Opinion
As we celebrate the legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we must think about the message he would have for our country and our leadership at this moment. In the video op-ed above, his son Martin Luther King III challenges us to confront what Dr. King was fighting for when he was killed in Memphis in 1968. His cause and his message about poverty and workers’ rights resonated then but unfortunately resonate now more than ever.

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.
