It&#8217;s a character that I relate to many things, and I see a lot of parallels in my own yearnings as an artist and in the yearnings of the people that I collaborate with. I can relate to how the struggles my mother has had to overcome in fleeing Hungary with her parents, my grandparents, in 1956 during the revolution and her journey coming to America and the sense of loss as a young girl and starting again. It&#8217;s really shaped \u2014 I think she&#8217;s an empathetic person by nature, but she has certain sensitivity and eye for others and those who are vulnerable, or outsiders, and captures that quite beautifully.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Brody believes that empathy helped shape his own choices as an actor, &#8220;trying to find films that have social relevance, or to represent people who don&#8217;t have a voice and to give them that through me in some respect.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-youtube-video embed--float-none embed--size-large embed--type-video\">\n<p>\n    <iframe class=\"embed__content lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/1KlwU-lCczE?autoplay=0&amp;rel=1\" data-optanon-category=\"essential\" data-height=\"113\" data-width=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe>\n  <\/p><figcaption><span class=\"embed__caption\"><br \/>\n      <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/1KlwU-lCczE\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Extended interview: Adrien Brody on turning down &#8220;The Lord of the Rings&#8221; audition, more<\/a><\/cite> by<br \/>\n      <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@CBSSundayMorning\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CBS Sunday Morning<\/a><\/cite> on<br \/>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">YouTube<\/a><br \/>\n    <\/span><br \/>\n  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Corbet&#8217;s monumental post-war drama (which he co-wrote with his wife Mona Fastvold) is a challenging and invigorating epic, a three-and-a-half hour tale of an artist striving to create in the face of terrible external pressures \u2014 commercial, societal, marital. Though set for the most part in Pennsylvania, much of the picture was shot in Hungary, on a tiny budget (approximately $10 million), employing the rarely-used VistaVision process to blow up to 70mm. &#8220;We cut every corner we could to make sure that every single cent was on screen,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2024\/film\/news\/brady-corbet-the-brutalist-making-of-3-hour-historical-epic-oscar-buzz-1236165804\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Corbet told Variety<\/a>. &#8220;It was a Herculean effort, and I wouldn&#8217;t recommend it to anyone, because it was just years and years of essentially working for free.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It helped that the film was set in an earlier period, because there were places in Hungary that looked sort of lost in the past,&#8221; Oscar-nominated\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2024\/artisans\/news\/judy-becker-shooting-hungary-for-us-in-the-brutalist-1236249731\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">production designer Judy Becker told Variety<\/a>. &#8220;For example, the industrial area in Budapest looked very similar to the industrial area of Philadelphia in the 1950s.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But despite the tight budget, Corbet was not sorry he didn&#8217;t have more money: &#8220;I never thought, &#8216;I wish I had $30 million more,'&#8221; he told Variety. &#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of strings that come with that kind of money. It invites lots of opinions. You have all these executives who don&#8217;t trust the director and bury them in notes. What you get is something antiseptic that lacks a signature.

I said: &#8216;It&#8217;s about a young guy in Minnesota who&#8217;s suffocating and feeling desperate and who leaves everything \u2014 friends, family \u2014 behind and, with just a few dollars in his pocket, makes his way across the country and creates a new identity and makes new friends, finds a new family and blossoms, becomes successful, then starts to suffocate again and runs away.&#8217; And he smiled and that was all. Like, he didn&#8217;t have anything more to say, but I knew that meant, to me, that he didn&#8217;t take issue.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The film gets a lot right in terms of the period, the feel of Greenwich Village at its height in the folk music world, and the sense of shifting sands in commercial music. Production designer Fran\u00e7ois Audouy transformed downtown Jersey City into early 1960s MacDougal Street in Greenwich Village. He also recreated Dylan&#8217;s apartment based on hundreds of previously-unpublished photographs \u2014 from the exact chair Dylan had, to his Decca record player, his 1954 Olivetti Lettera 22 typewriter, art on the walls, books and records. &#8220;It was like stepping into a time machine,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiewire.com\/features\/craft\/a-complete-unknown-production-design-greenwich-village-bob-dylan-francois-audouy-interview-1235082172\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Audouy told Indiewire<\/a> of the apartment set. <\/p>\n<p>Arianne Phillips, nominated for best costume design (she&#8217;d previously been nominated for &#8220;Walk the Line,&#8221; &#8220;W.E.,&#8221; and &#8220;Once Upon a Time \u2026 in Hollywood&#8221;), <a href=\"https:\/\/theartofcostume.com\/2024\/12\/30\/dressing-a-complete-unknown-arianne-phillips-on-the-costumes-that-shaped-bob-dylans-career\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">told The Art of Costume<\/a>, &#8220;Unlike typical biopics that span decades, this film focuses on just four years. That precision was both a challenge and an opportunity for the costumes. \u2026 The film moves through a variety of locations and scenarios, but the time period remains consistent. There&#8217;s no dramatic shift in technology, architecture, or cars. Instead, the focus is on Bob&#8217;s evolution \u2014 his character arc.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The film&#8217;s wardrobe was broken down into three styles: his arrival in New York in 1961, the time around the release of his 1963 album &#8220;The Freewheelin&#8217; Bob Dylan,&#8221; and the more mod figure he cut in 1965. &#8220;Chalamet had about 67 costume changes,&#8221; Phillips said, &#8220;and we had over 120 speaking roles with principal characters averaging anywhere from 8 to 30 changes each.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Though much dramatized in the film did happen \u2014 including a fistfight that broke out when Dylan plugged in an electric guitar at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival \u2014 there were some liberties taken. &#8220;Dylan Goes Electric&#8221; author Elijah Wald told the Guardian, &#8220;The movie is full of things that didn&#8217;t happen, but the way they happen in those scenes feels right to me. If Pete Seeger had been at Woody Guthrie&#8217;s bedside when Dylan arrived and sung him a song, then said he didn&#8217;t have a place to sleep, Pete would have brought him home for the night. None of that happened, but it&#8217;s all true to the characters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Because of COVID, Hollywood strikes, and other commitments, Chalamet ended up waiting five years before &#8220;A Complete Unknown&#8221; could go before the cameras. He used that time to further study Dylan (whom he had never met) and his music. In addition to learning how to play the guitar and the harmonica, Chalamet mastered about 40 Bob Dylan songs \u2014 far more than were originally called for in the script \u2014 determined, like the young Dylan, to make it great.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I give 170% in everything I&#8217;m doing,&#8221; <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/timothee-chalamet-a-complete-unknown-60-minutes-transcript\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">the actor told &#8220;60 Minutes.&#8221;<\/a><\/span> &#8220;I&#8217;m giving it my all.

It could take place in Washington, D.C., or Downing Street, or a big corporation where the CEO job is vacant. So, I think that&#8217;s interesting on the surface, but on a much deeper level, I really connected with what [Lawrence] is going through. He says, &#8216;I have difficulty with prayer.&#8217; \u2026 To overcome that and go through this crisis and refine the belief in what you do, [to believe] it has some purpose, I think a lot of us go through it at some point or another in our life. To refine the purity of your job, and refine the purity of your purpose, is a constant struggle. It&#8217;s an interesting path to keep recalibrating. And it&#8217;s actually a very healthy path to keep recalibrating. \u2026<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What the film really deals with is doubt and certainty \u2026 It doesn&#8217;t mean that every cardinal, every character in the movie, acts to the best of their conscience. But they are certain in their beliefs, or they believe that what they think is right. Bellini has a certainty that this guy is wrong and that is a certainty as well.

Her tragic but inspiring story was recounted in her son Marcelo Rubens Palva&#8217;s 2015 book, &#8220;I&#8217;m Still Here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Brazilian filmmaker Walter Salles&#8217; previous films include 1998&#8217;s &#8220;Central Station&#8221; (an Oscar-winner for best foreign language film), and &#8220;The Motorcycle Diaries.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Kb1jUKDDSy0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">At last year&#8217;s New York Film Festival<\/a>, Salles said that the story of &#8220;I&#8217;m Still Here&#8221; was very personal to him because of his own history. The son of a diplomat, Salles returned to Brazil in 1969 after living abroad for five years: &#8220;The country I came back to was very different from the country I had left, because it was now under military dictatorship, and I was personally pretty much at loss, really at loss, until I met this family of five kids, and it was Marcelo&#8217;s family. Became really good friends with his sister Nalu, and I got embraced by this family. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been in that house, you know, for almost two years on a constant level,&#8221; Salles said. &#8220;We drifted to that house because in it you could hear the political discussions that didn&#8217;t exist anymore in the exterior of that place. You could hear the music that was forbidden. \u2026 And there were no barriers between, you know, adults, adolescents, kids. This was completely different from my house. So, I was very informed by that. The moment where this was broken up was for all of us who were in that house at some moment kind of severed a line. It stipulated a before and an after, which obviously has to do with the moment when an authoritarian state invades the heart of a family. And that stayed with me for years and years and years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-youtube-video embed--float-none embed--size-large embed--type-video\">\n<p>\n    <iframe class=\"embed__content lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/Kb1jUKDDSy0?autoplay=0&amp;rel=1\" data-optanon-category=\"essential\" data-height=\"113\" data-width=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe>\n  <\/p><figcaption><span class=\"embed__caption\"><br \/>\n      <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Kb1jUKDDSy0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Walter Salles, Fernanda Torres, and Marcelo Rubens Paiva on I&#8217;m Still Here | NYFF62<\/a><\/cite> by<br \/>\n      <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@filmlinc\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Film at Lincoln Center<\/a><\/cite> on<br \/>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">YouTube<\/a><br \/>\n    <\/span><br \/>\n  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m Still Here&#8221; has tapped into the public conscience in Brazil, where the collective memory about the nation&#8217;s suffering under military rule across two decades is being revived through the story of Eunice and her family.

Following an investigation, the school was closed in 2011; subsequent diggings unearthed unmarked graves, which revealed even greater evidence of the staff&#8217;s cruelties. <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/extended-interview-colson-whitehead-on-writing-the-nickel-boys\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">In this extended interview from 2019, Whitehead told &#8220;Sunday Morning&#8221;<\/a><\/span> that his book&#8217;s main characters, Elwood and Turner, represented different sides of himself: &#8220;I have an optimistic part of me that thinks that things are getting better. We are making progress as a country, in terms of race and other things,&#8221; Whitehead said. &#8220;And then there&#8217;s a pessimistic, or realistic, part of me that says, no, things never change, and we make some progress and then we slide back. And so, Elwood and Turner in their initial incarnation represented different sides of me. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Elwood is 16, he&#8217;s a straight-A student, he&#8217;s been inspired by Martin Luther King, the civil rights marches. Every week, he reads Life magazine and sees the picture of his heroes. \u2026 And he sees himself as part of the new generation that can change the old order. And then there&#8217;s Turner, who is an orphan. And he&#8217;s been sent to [Nickel] &#8217;cause there&#8217;s nowhere else for him to go. And he lives by his wits. He&#8217;s a survivor. And he sees the system as it actually is, unchanging, casually cruel, callous. And he doesn&#8217;t believe in the same sort of enlightened goals of Elwood. [He believes in] making his way through the obstacle course, getting through a day without getting beaten, and then getting out of school where he can find some other survival tactic that works in the outside world. And so, they meet, and they have to survive but also consider each other&#8217;s philosophies \u2014 what works, what doesn&#8217;t, and how do you maybe perhaps integrate them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What makes the film adaptation of &#8220;Nickel Boys&#8221; unique is that director and co-writer RaMell Ross, a visual arts professor at Brown University who earned an Oscar nomination for the 2018 documentary &#8220;Hale County This Morning, This Evening,&#8221; employs a first-person perspective for most of the film; the camera serves as the eyes of Elwood, or Turner, throughout the story, so the audience directly experiences the sensations of the characters, which can be especially disturbing when they become victims of abuse. <\/p>\n<p>In this trailer for the film, we experience life from the perspective of the protagonists: <\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-youtube-video embed--float-none embed--size-large embed--type-video\">\n<p>\n    <iframe class=\"embed__content lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/Sc7Y5sKVs_U?autoplay=0&amp;rel=1\" data-optanon-category=\"essential\" data-height=\"113\" data-width=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe>\n  <\/p><figcaption><span class=\"embed__caption\"><br \/>\n      <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Sc7Y5sKVs_U\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Nickel Boys | Trailer | NYFF62<\/a><\/cite> by<br \/>\n      <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@filmlinc\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Film at Lincoln Center<\/a><\/cite> on<br \/>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">YouTube<\/a><br \/>\n    <\/span><br \/>\n  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In this scene, Hattie (Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor), unable to see her grandson Elwood, approaches Turner (voice of Brandon Wilson) for help:\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-youtube-video embed--float-none embed--size-large embed--type-video\">\n<p>\n    <iframe class=\"embed__content lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/Y8It1eiaxC0?autoplay=0&amp;rel=1\" data-optanon-category=\"essential\" data-height=\"113\" data-width=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe>\n  <\/p><figcaption><span class=\"embed__caption\"><br \/>\n      <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Y8It1eiaxC0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">\u201cNickel Boys\u201d clip: Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor<\/a><\/cite> by<br \/>\n      <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@CBSSundayMorning\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CBS Sunday Morning<\/a><\/cite> on<br \/>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">YouTube<\/a><br \/>\n    <\/span><br \/>\n  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=upu4Dr59elA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">a New York Film Festival panel discussion<\/a>, Ross, who had always wanted to make a POV film, said reading Whitehead&#8217;s book was profound for him: &#8220;And in the process of reading, it was the process of being allowed to imagine in a way that I think a lot of American writers aren&#8217;t focused on.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The way that Coulson wrote was, like, concise and spare, [he] didn&#8217;t over-describe, so it allowed me to imagine myself as Elwood and truly be visual in the world,&#8221; Ross said. &#8220;And so, that process led to the POV notion, and ideas around at what point in time did Elwood realize that he was raced, that he realized he was Black? Which is something that I would argue all people of color go through. It&#8217;s a visual thing, it&#8217;s a perceptual thing, and what a devastating thing in his life as you can see in the film juxtaposed against being a sentient-innocent child and being in awe of what it means to be embodied, and then to go out into the world and to be forced to adhere by this manufactured law. It&#8217;s devastating.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-youtube-video embed--float-none embed--size-large embed--type-video\">\n<p>\n    <iframe class=\"embed__content lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/upu4Dr59elA?autoplay=0&amp;rel=1\" data-optanon-category=\"essential\" data-height=\"113\" data-width=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe>\n  <\/p><figcaption><span class=\"embed__caption\"><br \/>\n      <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/upu4Dr59elA\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">RaMell Ross, Ethan Herisse, Brandon Wilson, Hamish Linklater, and More on Nickel Boys | NYFF62<\/a><\/cite> by<br \/>\n      <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@filmlinc\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Film at Lincoln Center<\/a><\/cite> on<br \/>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">YouTube<\/a><br \/>\n    <\/span><br \/>\n  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Shot with Sony&#8217;s Venice (a full-frame digital camera not much larger than a DSLR still camera), to allow movement through tight spaces, the camera was worn on various rigs (chest mounts, helmets, SnorriCams), as well as handhelds. In many instances, the actors wore the cameras themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Cinematographer Jomo Fray, who won the American Society of Cinematographers&#8217; Spotlight Award, told the New York Film Festival audience that he did not think &#8220;POV&#8221; was adequate as shorthand to describe its effect: &#8220;I don&#8217;t think it was about being in the point of view, but it was actually creating an image that is at one point immersive \u2014 it brings us in as an audience into the world. At a second point, it is implicative \u2014 it implicates us in the world that the image itself is seeing. And as a third point, it&#8217;s an image that has a physical danger to it, that the image itself is navigating, trying to go through spaces that are naturally hostile to it. So, we wanted to shoot these scenes not from outside but be inside of the scene. \u2026 It was fundamentally, totally different than anything I&#8217;ve ever shot before, conceptually and otherwise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Brandon Wilson, who plays Turner, told CBS station KCAL in Los Angeles, &#8220;I think this movie offers a beautiful invitation for people to let go of their own subjective points of view and step into the shoes of another person, and step into their eyes.

I don&#8217;t think that is the truth of who we are as women as we get older. And I think again, like the film, there&#8217;s a part of that that we as women have bought into, and so if we want to change this, then we have to change how we&#8217;re looking at it, how we&#8217;re holding it, and how we see ourselves. We can&#8217;t wait for it to change on the outside; we have to be that change.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-youtube-video embed--float-none embed--size-large embed--type-video\">\n<p>\n    <iframe class=\"embed__content lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/pTZnzavPyYk?autoplay=0&amp;rel=1\" data-optanon-category=\"essential\" data-height=\"113\" data-width=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe>\n  <\/p><figcaption><span class=\"embed__caption\"><br \/>\n      <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/pTZnzavPyYk\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Extended interview: Demi Moore on embracing challenges and more<\/a><\/cite> by<br \/>\n      <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@CBSSundayMorning\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CBS Sunday Morning<\/a><\/cite> on<br \/>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">YouTube<\/a><br \/>\n    <\/span><br \/>\n  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_lbmoPhR8Nc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Fargeat told the Associated Press<\/a> that her film was a response to the limits of female representation. &#8220;Our society, you know, has been built on 2,000 years of being kind of one way. And to make a real sense, it&#8217;s still too tiny to me. That&#8217;s why I also wanted my movie to be so excessive, you know, because I think this is what we need. We can&#8217;t be shy with those issue because the weight of everything is huge. The weight of all that still creates so much inequality and so much violence. So, that&#8217;s why also I wanted to make the movie that way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Moore won both the Golden Globe and the Screen Actors Guild Award for her performance, and was nominated for a BAFTA.

Chu. &#8220;It was the whole reason I did the movie,&#8221; <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/wicked-director-jon-m-chu-on-his-road-that-led-to-oz\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Chu told &#8220;Sunday Morning.&#8221;<\/a><\/span> &#8220;It&#8217;s all about striving for that dream and being able to fight through the uncomfortable things to get there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The director of &#8220;Crazy Rich Asians&#8221; and &#8220;In the Heights,&#8221; as well as music documentaries (&#8220;Justin Bieber: Never Say Never,&#8221; &#8220;Believe&#8221;), dance projects (&#8220;Step Up 3D&#8221;), and action sequels (&#8220;G.I. Joe: Retaliation,&#8221; &#8220;Now You See Me 2&#8221;), Chu said his view of &#8220;The Wizard of Oz&#8221; \u2014 which, when he was a child, represented a dream of another, better place \u2014 has changed since he was a kid. &#8220;I think that that Yellow Brick Road is no longer the path that you just keep following, because there is no wizard there that&#8217;s gonna give you your heart&#8217;s desire,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Life is a series of walking adventures.

It won three Tony Awards. For the film adaptation, the show has been split in half (Part Two opens this November). Far from the candy-colored vaudevillian Oz that the 1939 classic projected, &#8220;Wicked&#8221; has a darker subtext about tyranny and civil rights. A rebellion builds against the Wizard and the increasingly autocratic rule coming from the Emerald City, which draws Elphaba (best actress nominee Cynthia Erivo) to become a resistance figure; her empathy leads to her becoming an outcast. <\/p>\n<p>At the center of the narrative is the connection between Elphaba and Glinda (best supporting actress nominee Ariana Grande). Their frenemy relationship begins at Shiz University, but evolves as they compete for the attention of the dean of sorcery (Michelle Yeoh), and of a hunk (Jonathan Bailey), and then join as friends to meet the Wizard. <\/p>\n<p>In this scene, the hunk, Fiyero, a transfer student at Shiz University, makes his case for living less studiously, especially as it affords more chances to engage in a rapturous dance number in the school&#8217;s library: <\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-youtube-video embed--float-none embed--size-large embed--type-video\">\n<p>\n    <iframe class=\"embed__content lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/oKjF1a0OHT4?autoplay=0&amp;rel=1\" data-optanon-category=\"essential\" data-height=\"113\" data-width=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe>\n  <\/p><figcaption><span class=\"embed__caption\"><br \/>\n      <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/oKjF1a0OHT4\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">\u201cWicked\u201d clip: \u201cDancing Through Life\u201d<\/a><\/cite> by<br \/>\n      <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@CBSSundayMorning\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CBS Sunday Morning<\/a><\/cite> on<br \/>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">YouTube<\/a><br \/>\n    <\/span><br \/>\n  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This behind-the-scenes featurette shows how Erivo performed her flying stunts while singing &#8220;Defying Gravity.&#8221; \u00a0And yes, the &#8220;Wicked&#8221; cast were <em>not<\/em> performing to pre-recorded vocal tracks; for most of the film, Grande, Erivo, et al, were recorded singing on set by live sound mixer Simon Hayes (an Oscar-winner for &#8220;Les Miserables&#8221;).
