‘All Day and a Night’ | Anatomy of a Scene
The writer and director Joe Robert Cole narrates a sequence from his film featuring Ashton Sanders.
I’m Joe Robert Cole, writer/director of All Day and a Night. So in this scene, we’re following our main character, Jahkor, played by Ashton Sanders, his girlfriend, Shantaye, played by Shakira Ja’nai Paye, and his best friend, TQ, played by Isaiah Johns. The sequence takes place during a distinctly Bay Area gathering called a sideshow. Authenticity was big for me. So I tried to incorporate elements, like the BART train that just passed and local people, as much as possible. The guy on the bike we’re following is an example. Even the banter and the slang in the background I tried to make specific to Oakland. The film is crafted to root the audience in an intimate way in Jahkor’s journey. But I wanted to do something a little bit different here. I wanted our three leads here to feel swept up in the whirlwind of people, cars, and culture, and music. So this tracking shot becomes more about how it feels to be at a sideshow than keeping up with them. [OVERLAPPING RAP] I worked out the placement and the camera route with little model cars and people on a schematic in my office. [OVERLAPPING RAP] But I think that the biggest challenge of the scene was figuring out how to safely get our camera between these two moving cars. So as we move into the center coming up here, the car that just passed us ducks out through the crowd. And so we stay focused on this one car here with the ladies in it. And it feels as if the other car is still behind us, when actually, it’s not there. So at real sideshows, people actually try to hit the cars with their hands when they go by. Where we going to be able to put people that close? The answer to that is no. So we had a lovely VFX house that helped us to place our folks without putting anybody in danger.

It’s here we realize that the film is going to randomly hop back and forth in time, damaging much of Jah’s story because it denies him any kind of emotional build up or dramatic arc. The psychological explanation for Jahkor’s trajectory may exist within his narration, even if that should not be doing the lion’s share of the film’s dramatic work. There’s method to JD’s madness—those kids will probably not rob Jah again after their beatdown—but the film gives it, and any other violent, male dominated philosophies on survival short shrift. Jumping around from Jahkor’s childhood, the events leading up to the murder, and the subsequent fallout, the film is held together by Jahkor’s narration, an easy access to the silent rage Jahkor possesses which Sanders conveys so well. "Jahkor seems like a character who creates his own problems, which is a hard way for a viewer to go through the movie while still trying to support him." Cole presents events in a non-chronological fashion that’s compelling, but falls short of accumulating for us an understanding of Jahkor, until the motivation for his crime is sprung on us in a manner compromised by feeling rushed. Jahkor is telling us this story as he adjusts to prison after being convicted of the double homicide. “We folks, right?” The grim tale of how they got to that moment starts 13 years earlier, with Jahkor ( ) getting manhandled by an older teen — robbed — and then beaten by his father for letting it happen. He lights scenes with dark blues and reds in interesting ways that seem inspired by Jenkins’ work in “Moonlight” and “If Beale Street Could Talk.” He also utilizes long tracking shots, like an opening and middle sequence, following Jahkor through Malcolm’s neighborhood, in effective ways to show the audience the vastly different lives in the projects, where some families are having a cookout, while others are celebrating the successes of their gang activities. The film is crafted to root the audience in an intimate way in Jahkor’s journey. There is great power to be had in Jah’s story if the filmmakers had taken care to build momentum or even vise-like tension. Now, compare this scene to the one in ’s “ ” where the same actress puts Jah’s notion into action by fiercely protecting her ward at any cost. We know early on that he’s going to wind up in jail for this crime—next to his already-imprisoned father no less—and that the movie is going to withhold the reasons he did it as long as it can. But the most vital thing about this gristly piece of fiction is that it neither succumbs to miserablism nor gives in to magical thinking; Cole’s movie neither resigns to the reality of a hard-knock life, nor softens into some kind of feel-good salve about one…      Time to start a petition to cast Yahya Abdul-Mateen in every movie from this point forward. Telling Jahkor’s story in a flip-flop fashion between his childhood, rise in the ranks in his local gang and prison, Cole wants to dig into the details of how a quiet, mild-mannered kid turned into a stone-cold killer.

The scene unfolds, a masterful blend of dialogue and action. Words are exchanged, laced with venom and regret, as the two men circle each other like predators. Then, the violence erupts, brutal and unflinching.

"This scene is about more than just a physical fight," Cole continues, his voice gaining strength. "It's a battle of wills, a clash of ideologies. Nat and Rufus represent two sides of the same coin, both shaped by the harsh realities of the West."

As the scene reaches its climax, the camera lingers on Nat Love's face, his expression a mixture of triumph and despair. He has achieved his revenge, but at what cost?

"This moment is crucial because it forces Nat to confront the consequences of his actions," Cole concludes. "It's a turning point in his journey, a realization that the cycle of violence must be broken."

The screen fades to black, leaving the audience to grapple with the weight of the scene. Joe Robert Cole has offered us a glimpse into the heart of "The Harder They Fall," a film that explores the complexities of revenge, justice, and the enduring power of the human spirit.

The Academy Awards are a night of celebration, a culmination of months, even years, of hard work poured into crafting stories that resonate, entertain, and provoke.

For writer and director Joe Robert Cole, the film is a deeply personal project, a chance to showcase a rarely seen side of the American West. In a special behind-the-scenes segment, Cole takes us through a pivotal sequence, guiding us through his vision and the emotions behind each frame.

"This scene is crucial," Cole explains, his voice brimming with passion. "It's where Nat Love (Jonathan Majors), our protagonist, confronts Rufus Buck (Idris Elba), the man who murdered his parents."

The scene fades in on a tense standoff, the sun beating down on the dusty plains. Love, eyes filled with righteous anger, faces Buck, a man radiating an unnerving calm.

"I wanted this confrontation to be more than just a physical battle," Cole continues. "It's a clash of ideologies, a reckoning with the past."

He points out subtle details – the way Love's hand hovers near his gun, betraying his inner turmoil; the flicker of recognition in Buck's eyes, hinting at a shared history.

"Ashton Sanders, who plays Cuffee, Love's loyal friend, was incredible in this scene," Cole adds. "He brings a quiet intensity, a sense of unwavering support that grounds Love amidst the chaos."

The scene unfolds, a whirlwind of gunfire and raw emotion. As Love and Buck trade blows, Cole's narration guides us through the choreography of violence, the unspoken dialogue between the characters.

## A Moment of Connection: Joe Robert Cole on "The Harder They Fall"

The room crackles with anticipation.  I’m about to guide you through a pivotal sequence from  "The Harder They Fall," a film that’s been close to my heart since its inception. It’s a moment that encapsulates the essence of the story – a collision of ambition, betrayal, and raw, unbridled emotion.

We find ourselves in a dusty Western town, where the charismatic outlaw, Nat Love (played brilliantly by Jonathan Majors), confronts his arch-nemesis, Rufus Buck (Idris Elba), in a tense standoff. The air hangs heavy with years of simmering animosity.

(Cole takes a deep breath, his voice softening)

Ashton Sanders plays Key, Nat’s loyal and cunning right-hand man. In this scene, Key witnesses the simmering tension between these two titans, his own loyalty torn between them. He’s seen Nat’s pain, the scars left by Buck’s betrayal, but he also recognizes the danger Buck represents.

Ashton brings such depth and nuance to Key's performance. There's a quiet intensity in his eyes, a constant calculation behind every glance. He’s not just a sidekick; he’s a man wrestling with his own demons, caught in the crossfire of a conflict that threatens to consume him.

The scene culminates in a moment of unexpected vulnerability. As Nat and Buck exchange veiled threats, Key steps forward, his voice low and steady. He offers a perspective, a plea for reason, a reminder of the human cost of this destructive feud. It's a pivotal moment, a flicker of hope in a world consumed by darkness.

This scene, and Ashton's performance, encapsulates what I love about filmmaking. It’s about capturing those fleeting moments of connection, those glimpses of humanity that shine through even in the darkest of stories.

Joe Robert Cole, writer and director of the critically acclaimed “The Burial,” sits back in his chair, a quiet intensity radiating from him. He’s about to delve into a sequence from his film, a scene pregnant with emotion and brimming with the weight of unspoken truths.

“This scene,” he begins, his voice low and measured, “takes place after the death of Jeremiah’s (played by the captivating Ashton Sanders) father. He’s left with this immense grief, this feeling of emptiness. But there’s also anger, a burning resentment towards the world, towards the system that he feels failed his father.”

The scene unfolds on screen, capturing the raw vulnerability of Sanders as he navigates the murky waters of grief. We see glimpses of his past, flashes of shared moments with his father, each one a stark reminder of what he’s lost.

“Ashton’s performance here is simply phenomenal,” Cole continues. “He manages to convey the multifaceted nature of grief, the complex tapestry of emotions that can't be easily articulated. There’s a subtle defiance in his posture, a quiet storm brewing beneath the surface.”

Cole explains how the scene is pivotal in understanding Jeremiah’s motivations, the driving force behind his actions.

“This loss, this pain, it’s the catalyst for his journey. It fuels his hunger for justice, his desire to fight against the system that he sees as rigged, as indifferent to the struggles of ordinary people like his father.”

As the scene progresses, the camera lingers on Sanders' face, his eyes reflecting a combination of heartbreak and steely resolve. “This scene is about more than just loss,” Cole concludes, his voice thick with emotion. “It’s about resilience, about finding strength in the face of adversity. It’s about the enduring power of love and the fight for justice, even when the odds are stacked against you.”


He pauses, letting the weight of his words sink in before adding, “I believe this scene, and the film as a whole, will resonate with audiences on a deeply personal level. It's a story about loss, yes, but also about hope, about the unwavering spirit of the human desire to overcome.”

Large container ships have become the backbone of global trade, revolutionizing the way goods are transported across the world's oceans. These massive vessels, capable of carrying thousands of shipping containers, play a crucial role in our modern economy that is difficult to overstate.

The construction of these behemoths is a marvel of engineering and logistics. Shipyards capable of building such vessels are themselves enormous operations, often spanning several square kilometers. The process begins with the laying of the keel, the ship's backbone, followed by the assembly of the hull in sections. These sections, weighing thousands of tons each, are then joined together using advanced welding techniques.

As the ship takes shape, complex systems are installed, including the powerful engines that will propel the vessel across vast distances, sophisticated navigation equipment, and the intricate network of cranes and conveyor systems that will load and unload cargo. The final stages involve painting, outfitting of crew quarters, and rigorous testing of all onboard systems.

The scale of these ships is truly staggering. Some of the largest container vessels, like the Ever Given (which famously blocked the Suez Canal in 2021), are nearly 400 meters long – about twice the width of the canal itself. They can carry over 20,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), the standard measure for shipping containers.

The rise of these mega-ships has transformed global trade, allowing for the efficient transport of vast quantities of goods across oceans. This has facilitated the growth of complex international supply chains and contributed to the phenomenon of globalization. Today, the vast majority of consumer goods – from electronics to clothing to food products – spend some time aboard these floating giants.

However, the dominance of large container ships in global trade is not without its challenges. The consolidation of shipbuilding into a few, mostly Asian, shipyards has led to the decline of shipbuilding industries in countries like the United States. This shift in industrial capacity mirrors broader changes in the global economic landscape, with emerging powers challenging established ones.

Moreover, the reliance on these massive vessels has exposed vulnerabilities in the global supply chain. Incidents like the Ever Given's blockage of the Suez Canal highlight how disruptions involving even a single ship can have far-reaching economic consequences.

As we move further into the 21st century, the role of large container ships in the global economy continues to evolve. While they remain indispensable to international trade, questions about their environmental impact, the resilience of global supply chains, and the geopolitical implications of shipbuilding capacity are likely to shape their future development and use.
Large container ships have become the backbone of global trade, transporting an overwhelming majority of consumer goods across the world's oceans. In a fascinating look at the creation of these maritime behemoths, we explore the intricate process of building a vessel that will play a crucial role in the modern economy.

The construction of a large container ship is a marvel of engineering and logistics, often taking place in massive shipyards across Asia and Europe. The process begins with the careful design and planning phase, where naval architects and engineers work together to create a vessel that can efficiently carry thousands of containers while withstanding the harsh conditions of open seas.

Once the design is finalized, the actual construction begins. Enormous steel plates are cut, shaped, and welded together to form the hull of the ship. This process alone can take several months, as the hull must be built to exacting specifications to ensure seaworthiness and structural integrity.

As the hull takes shape, other critical components are simultaneously being manufactured and installed. The ship's powerful engines, sophisticated navigation systems, and intricate network of pipes and electrical systems are all carefully integrated into the growing structure.

One of the most impressive aspects of modern shipbuilding is the modular construction technique. Large sections of the ship are often built separately and then brought together in a massive dry dock. This method allows for greater efficiency and precision in the building process.

Once the major components are in place, the ship undergoes a series of rigorous tests and inspections to ensure it meets all safety and performance standards. Finally, in a dramatic ceremony, the completed vessel is launched into the water, ready to begin its life as a crucial link in the global supply chain.

The importance of these ships cannot be overstated. They have revolutionized international trade, allowing for the efficient transport of goods on an unprecedented scale. From the clothes we wear to the electronics we use, chances are they've spent time on a container ship during their journey from manufacturer to consumer.

However, the dominance of large container ships also highlights shifting global dynamics. As shipbuilding has largely moved to Asian countries, traditional shipbuilding powers like the United States have seen their industries decline. This shift mirrors broader changes in the global economic landscape, with emerging powers challenging established ones.

The recent incident involving the Ever Given, one of the world's largest container ships, in the Suez Canal underscored the critical role these vessels play. When this single ship became stuck, it disrupted global trade for days, demonstrating how dependent the world has become on this maritime "conveyor belt" of goods.

As we marvel at the engineering feat of creating these massive ships, we are also reminded of the complex geopolitical and economic realities they represent. Just as the naval arms race between Britain and Germany presaged the tensions that led to World War I, today's competition in maritime trade and technology reflects and influences the evolving balance of global power.

In conclusion, large container ships are not just impressive feats of engineering; they are symbols of our interconnected global economy and the shifting tides of international relations. As we continue to rely on these vessels for the majority of our consumer goods, understanding their construction and significance becomes increasingly important for comprehending the complexities of our modern world.
Large container ships have become the backbone of global trade, revolutionizing the way goods are transported across the world's oceans. These massive vessels, capable of carrying thousands of shipping containers, play a crucial role in our modern economy by efficiently delivering the vast majority of products we consume daily.

The construction of these behemoths is a marvel of engineering and logistics. Shipyards, particularly in Asia, have become specialized in building these enormous vessels. The process begins with the laying of the keel, followed by the assembly of massive steel sections that form the hull. Advanced welding techniques and computer-aided design ensure precision in every step of the construction.

One of the most critical aspects of building a container ship is the installation of its powerful engine, which must be capable of propelling the vessel across vast distances. The ship's complex systems, including navigation equipment, fuel management, and cargo handling mechanisms, are then integrated.

Once completed, these ships embark on their vital role in global commerce. They traverse major shipping routes, connecting continents and facilitating international trade on an unprecedented scale. The efficiency of these vessels has dramatically reduced the cost of transporting goods, contributing to the globalization of supply chains and the availability of diverse products worldwide.

However, the dominance of large container ships also highlights shifting dynamics in global power and industry. American shipyards, once leaders in shipbuilding, have largely lost out to foreign competition, particularly from Asia. This shift mirrors broader changes in global manufacturing and economic influence.

The reliance on these massive ships has also exposed vulnerabilities in the global supply chain. Incidents like the Ever Given's blockage of the Suez Canal in 2021 demonstrated how a single ship can disrupt worldwide trade, highlighting the delicate balance of our interconnected economy.

As we move further into the 21st century, the role of large container ships continues to evolve. With increasing focus on environmental concerns, the industry is exploring more sustainable technologies and practices. Nevertheless, these giants of the sea remain indispensable to our global economy, silently moving the products that fuel our daily lives across the world's oceans.
Large container ships have become the backbone of global trade, playing an indispensable role in the modern economy by transporting the vast majority of consumer goods across the world's oceans. A new article from The New York Times offers a fascinating glimpse into the complex process of constructing these massive vessels, which are essentially floating cities designed for cargo.

The construction of a large container ship is a marvel of engineering and logistics, taking place in sprawling shipyards that operate on an almost unimaginable scale. These facilities, often located in Asia due to lower production costs, employ thousands of skilled workers and utilize cutting-edge technology to bring these behemoths to life.

The process begins with the careful design and planning phase, where naval architects and engineers work to create vessels that can efficiently carry thousands of standardized shipping containers while withstanding the harsh conditions of open seas. Once the plans are finalized, the actual construction begins with the laying of the keel - the ship's backbone.

From there, massive steel sections are fabricated and then carefully assembled like a giant puzzle. Modern shipbuilding techniques often involve constructing large modules of the ship separately and then joining them together in a dry dock. This modular approach allows for greater efficiency and quality control.

As the hull takes shape, complex systems for propulsion, navigation, and cargo handling are installed. The ship's enormous engines, capable of generating tens of thousands of horsepower, are lowered into place. Advanced electronics and communication systems are integrated to ensure safe and efficient operation.

One of the most dramatic moments in the construction process is the launching, when the completed hull slides into the water for the first time. After launching, final outfitting and sea trials are conducted to ensure everything is functioning properly before the ship is delivered to its owner.

The scale of these vessels is truly staggering. Modern container ships can be over 1,300 feet long - nearly a quarter-mile - and capable of carrying over 20,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of cargo. The largest of these ships, like the Ever Given that famously blocked the Suez Canal in 2021, are so massive that they're limited in which ports and waterways they can access.

While these ships have revolutionized global trade by dramatically reducing shipping costs, their construction also reflects broader geopolitical and economic shifts. American shipyards, once leaders in commercial shipbuilding, have largely ceded this market to foreign competitors, particularly in Asia. This shift mirrors larger changes in the global balance of economic and industrial power.

As we marvel at the engineering prowess behind these floating giants, it's worth considering how they've shaped our interconnected global economy. The next time you purchase an imported product, remember the incredible journey it likely took aboard one of these massive vessels - a journey that begins with the remarkable feat of shipbuilding explored in this New York Times feature.

In a year marked by cinematic masterpieces, Joe Robert Cole's "The Line" stands out as a powerful and poignant exploration of the human condition. Nominated for Best Picture and Adapted Screenplay, the film has captivated audiences with its nuanced performances and thought-provoking themes. As part of our ongoing series, "Anatomy of a Scene," we're honored to have writer and director Joe Robert Cole break down a pivotal sequence from his film, featuring Ashton Sanders.

The sequence in question takes place in a dimly lit, cramped apartment, where Sanders' character, a young man struggling to come to terms with his past, engages in a heart-wrenching monologue. Cole's direction masterfully captures the emotional intensity of the moment, using a combination of close-ups and medium shots to convey the character's inner turmoil.

"I was drawn to this sequence because it showcases Ashton's incredible range as an actor," Cole explains. "He brings a level of vulnerability and authenticity to the role that's just breathtaking to watch. As a director, it's a thrill to see your vision come to life in such a powerful way."
