- Academy Award winner Regina King on the importance of IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK's wig scene.
Director Barry Jenkins’ ambitious follow-up to Moonlight adapts James Baldwin’s poignant novel about a woman fighting to free her falsely accused husband from prison before the birth of their child.
From the director of the Oscar-winning Moonlight comes a plunge into a world of Black love, with all the pain and the joy that can go along with it. In his third feature, Barry Jenkins draws deep from the well of James Baldwin, whose profound insight into African Americans' unique place in American society serves as inspiration for this gorgeous tone poem on love and justice.
Tish (KiKi Layne) is only 19 but she's been forced to grow up fast. She's pregnant by Fonny, the man she loves. But Fonny is going to prison for a crime he didn't commit. As the film begins, Tish must break the news to her family, and his. Tish's mother, played with heartbreaking depth by Regina King, soon must decide how far she will go to secure her daughter's future. As Fonny, Toronto's own Stephan James gives a career-best performance of both grit and grace as a young man deeply in love but furious at what has befallen him.
Jenkins reveals the layers of conflicting motivations in a filmmaking style that approaches music - dipping into Baldwin's elevated language and following his characters with unabashed devotion, fully capturing the texture of '70s New York.
If Beale Street Could Talkis without doubt a romance but it's stronger than that because it refuses to indulge fantasy. Infused with Moonlight's deep lyricism and Medicine for Melancholy's flirtatious spark, Barry Jenkins's latest shows him to be our most clear-eyed chronicler of love.

I really enjoyed watching this movie! It's like visual poetry
Alex J. Jones I agree! I felt the same with Moonlight
What an amazing and thoughtful interview. I'm immensely happy that this woman has an Oscar.
I just watched this movie on Netflix and god that scene when Victoria broke down was heavy, i felt sad for both of them and it made me relies that it will not be a happy ending for the young couple.
I found the book sad and shocking. Have not watched the film. The ending is tragic.
@@ruthieworldtravels208 how does it end?
@@malyndahsexotics1543ENDING IN THE BOOK: Sanchez, the woman who accuses Alonzo, goes mad and has a miscarriage after speaking to Mrs Rivers, so she is taken away further hidden into the country, to a small hamlet somewhere. So the prosecution doesn't have a witness now, so they set out a bond in Fonny. To get the money, both fathers have stolen at their jobs, Frank is caught and loses his job, so he gets drunk and commits suicide. Fonny gets put in solitary because of a fight to avoid getting raped in prison. Tish goes into labour. So, in the book, I take that he will eventually leave jail because the bond was finally paid at some point and Fonny will work as a carpenter, not exactly as an artist as he wanted prior to being in jail. He and Tish will manage to be together eventually, but it won't be a happy occasion, as everyone has changed and suffered too much along the way. The ending is quite open, so I guess this is my interpretation of the book. We are told that they almost have the bond money, but then Frank gets caught, and everything else happens. But I do believe that the possibility of parole is still there, as there is no way Sanchez comes back to testify. Whatever percentage the Rivers are missing from the bond, at some point they will manage to get it. But as I say, this is my interpretation of the open ending. You will have to read the book to agree or disagree with me.
I've been a Regina King fan since 227 and it has been wonderful to be able to watch her career take off the way it has. First film I saw her in was the Janet Jackson and Tupac project. I'm a forever fan Regina and God Bless You and keep you in his light over the loss of your precious son. Praying for you hon.
This interview alone has me crying. Cant wait to watch this now. Love you Regina.
She deserve that Oscar!! The movie is so beautiful
Regina king really loves what she does and it shows in every one of her amazing performances
Regina King’s Oscar waa LONG overdue, and I’m glad she finally got it
Just like a good mom. Even in the worse possible situation even though she was scared she knew she had to be strong. She knew this wasn’t time to fall apart because people needed her to hold them up.
Wow amazing........
great movie. my parents were so strong and ARE so strong.
u are a great and good actress. with much right u have this oscar.
Totally agree. She was outstanding
It's not about where Puerto Rico is it's about why she went there. You have to think in the mind of a black person in the 50's and 60's is where she's speaking from. I can't believe that's all you took away from the interview.
this was such an insightful interview.
wow, just wow
The wall is undefeated
The mother traveled far to find a girl who said they said pick someone from a line up ..ruined another person's life on a lie...
She didn’t lie, she was tricked by the police officer who tried to arrest him the night before. She said that she was raped by a black guy but never saw his face and knowing that they put Fonnie in a room with all white men and kept pressuring her to pick him. She picked him because she thought it was him and just didn’t want to relive her sexual assault all over again. They were pinning minorities against each other
I spent most of this movie hyper focused on her performance because she was the frontrunner for the Oscars (pro tip avoid knowing which roles are hyped up in movies if you can, makes it more pleasant to decide for yourself who did the best job) and for most of it I wasn't sure what was up. Then this scene came along and I suddenly knew why she was getting that hype. I definitely think she shouldn't have won the Oscar, she was the best in the supporting actress category but Olivia Colman should have been in it for The Favourite rather than being nominated for best lead.
So you're saying the actor who won for lead actress should have been in the supporting category. That's just idiocy. Ms. Colman portrayed the Queen in a movie about the Queen, how is that a supporting role?
@@ML-xh6rd Have you seen it? It's about two other characters vying for the Queen's affections rather than being about the Queen.
Nope! Regina deserved this!
@@Erulassee Just to be clear I agree she deserved it out of the people she was nominated against
Coleman was definitely a co-lead. If she had gone supporting she’d probably have won, and it wouldn’t have been the most obvious category fraud. But I’m glad Coleman elected to compete in lead.
So what do we call Puerto Rico if it’s not a state… just territory
Puerto Rico is not another country. It is a U.S. Territory. It is U.S. soil.
Chamo rrito but it’s not a state so it’s a different country
Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens by birth. Anyone born there is born a U.S. citizen. If one travels to Puerto Rico, one does not exit the U.S. nor enters a foreign country. One doesn't even need a passport to enter Puerto Rico (or any other U.S. Territory) if travelling from a U.S. airport . Alaska and Hawaii used to be the same before they became states, and were never considered as different countries. Even when Pearl Harbor was attacked, Hawaii was not yet a state and wasn't considered a different country.
Chamo rrito Ik but Puerto Rico is not a state there fore it’s a country
Deleted Puerto Rico is a U.S territory
Puerto Rico is under U.S. control but NOT part of the U.S. The Supreme Court has issued prior rulings regarding the island's relationship with the mainland. Although it's a territory, it is also a nation, not a nation-state. The island's culture, language, social norms are distinct from the rest of the U.S. and its other territories, hence the development of a national identity/status apart from the 50 States.
Furthermore, what Regina is trying to relay is the history of black tourism in the United States before the Civil Rights era. The Oscar-winning film "Green Book" covers African Americans' limited options when traveling domestically. They would have to refer to a well known travel guide for African Americans titled "The Negro Motorist Green Book" which had a green cover (hence "Green Book") which allowed Black American travelers to travel safely and find accomodations when driving throughout the U.S., especially in the Jim Crow ruled South. As Regina said, most black travelers traveled to "other" countries were predominately black such as those in Africa and the West Indies, because they were safe, accomodating to them unlike those in the US. Traveling to Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory with a Latin American identity and that spoke Spanish and not English, in the past was mainly for wealthy Americans looking for sun and fun and islanders returning to visit their families after moving to the mainland. It was very rare for a single African American woman to venture into any other destination (whether independent or not) where the language and norms found in 1960's Harlem NYC were non existant. It took a person of courage to travel outside of their comfort zone.
That person was Sharon Rivers, Regina's character in this film.
Not to be picky here, but Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 is not a country. It’s a US territory
If it has its own flag! It’s another country! Just because you stole it doesn’t make it USA
Brixton 28s ever state has their own flag! Even their own capitol
Daniel Halvorsen America is weird as fuck!!
Brixton 28s considering whom they elected president, it shouldn’t come as much of a shock
Geez. You'd think, having played this part that won her an oscar, Regina King would know A) Puerto Rico is not another country (it's part of the United States) and B) English is an official language in P.R., and fairly commonly spoken (although it is second to Spanish).
OMG!!! In the perspective of the character it is another country. Stop being so knick picky.

@@ct19202 I heard you the first time! From the perspective of someone who has a CLUE about Puerto Rico, it's not another country. From the perspective of someone who has a CLUE about spelling, it's "nitpicky," unless you're talking about knitting. Does accuracy mean NOTHING to you?
@@desertpair2 Dang, Auto correct🤷🏾♀️. nitpicky then. Lol
Yes, but the spirit of what she's saying is that "black Americans didn't leave the contiguous United States," since intercontinental travel is a a more expensive luxury typically not afforded to working class black people of the era. She uses the word "country" to communicate that more effectively, but I understand how that can be particularly annoying to people who live in the non-contiguous areas of America who struggle to feel included.
Sorry, but I don't see anything special or subverting about Regina's performance. All her character did was put on a wig and chased down a rape victim. And when she meets that rape victim, she forces her hand on her to pray for her? Regina is great, but nothing she did in this film was award worthy.
Who do you feel should have won this category?
That's like your opinion,man.
The majority of members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences disagreed with you. All the women in this category are amazingly talented actresses, but on this night, for this performance, she was recognized by her peers as having given the best performance by an actress in a supporting role and the award is well deserved.
@@laurenj432 rachel or emma
@@xoxoniniii of course it's my opinion. like i said originally, regina is excellent. but nothing in this role stood out to me.
"black Americans"...I can't stand that. She rather be called a color than associate herself with the continent of Africa? SMH. It's AFRICAN Americans sweetie...stop it
blahblahblah why does it matter sis it’s all the same
Blahblahblah: And you'd rather worry bout what SOMEONE ELSE chooses to call themselves. Worry bout yo own side of the street....that's all YOU gotta do.
She’s more black than she is African.
Because it’s her right to self-identify.
