our, than the very positive visions of steven spielberg. chris said no, there will be peaceful, and there is a glorious future waiting for us, because now we are on the, in the technology age. and so we were very optimistic about the future in these days. now my impression is that people are afraid of nearly everything. wherever you live in the world, you have populism arm, you have these new leaders who are giving very and the complex answers to people without education. people full of fears who do not really understand how the world is developing, who didn't understand the new technology, like artificial intelligence. but just of afraid of losing the jobs. you have a climate crisis, which means that you have lots of migrants. first of all, we had migrants coming for political reasons, but now we see that in the near future probably will get a lot of migrants coming because of climate change. so there are a lot of things people get very afraid of, and they wish back a past never having existence, but being promised by the popular leaders.

and though, later on with steven spielberg, they stood for sort of new or really room religion. so there were, can the angels coming from the skies much wiser than we are and so on. so i think and because we are dealing with artificial intelligence, which is so totally different from our way of thinking and the opportunities that one, they may be machines get a consciousness on that. at this point it will be to, they're very different for us, very difficult for us to do with them. and we start thinking about, um, what, what comes on to us in films like ex, mocking our friends. not sure you have seen it, or her lead was the one and that is for scarlet your hands and it's just all her. yes, i think you've seen that one or arrival. have you seen arrival with the aliens 1st? they are peaceful 2nd. they're really completely different from us so that we do not understand them. and it's about communication. thank you. think that could be part of the teacher. we had things, sir, i think so. there are in some shape or form las it will be something that is completely different from the hu

: she's part of the ensemble. >> whitaker: we talked with steven spielberg remotely. >> spielberg: ing cast. >> whitaker: and unlike the first movie, spielberg set a mandate that all puerto rican characters be played by hispanic actors. >> moreno: i think hollywood has changed. i think there are still things yet to be addressed. the representation that hispanics get is almost nil. there are so many talented people among hispanics. jennifer lopez can't be the only one. >> whitaker: that's why moreno was thrilled to be part of this "west side story." >> whitaker: she sings? >> spielberg: she sings and she acts and even though she doesn't have a dance number, i have home movies of rita dancing with all the sharks and the jets. she has not lost her mojo as a dancer, at all. >> whitaker: rita moreno, who is about to turn 90, hasn't lost a step. she admits she has stumbled along the way, but she has refused to stay down. >> moreno: i think some people would say i was tough. i think it's resilience, because if i'm tough, there's a part of me then that's become hard. it's simply not in my na

>> i just heard steven spielberg exhale in relief >> i -- well, he did, as a matter of fact he did when well. >> i didn't expect that. didn't expect it when i saw that in the script, i was -- i could not believe it. but that's tony kushner. he comes up with the damnedest ideas. >> i find your career incredibly fascinating. you talked about the moment that you -- that may have been the moment you won the oscar, you remember from this scene in "west side story," and it is so moved and struck me and i was unaware of this story, but we have a minute, will you tell it? >> which story >> you were in a group of men and they were -- >> they were almost going to rape, assault anita. and calling me terrible names like pig and bernardo's tramp and messing with me and throwing me on the ground, pulling up my skirt, and you always think that your wounds are healed and apparently these wounds were not and i just suddenly started to cry and i couldn't stop i could not stop crying. i went to the candy store counter and put my head down and couldn't stop crying it brought up all of the terrible things t

steven spielberg's "west side story" featuring lyrics by the late and great steven sondheim who died be for you? >> well, i think it is important that it did have his blessing and there is so much that he did that, you know, you talk about reboots as far as films are concerned but then you think about reboots as far as theater is concerned. so many plays are done many yoers apart with different actors but a different art form. so i feel like i think people are going to because of sondheim's unfortunate and untimely death people will be interested especially since it is steven spielberg but like we're saying "west side story" was perfect before. but it has him in it. it has him being part of it. so i think it will do very well. he had such an impact on so many people and the thing that is so fascinating, you look on social media and you see everyone quoting lyrics, his lyrics that meant something to them personally. it is a huge loss. he was incredible. >> it certainly was. we were remembering his life last night. before we go i got to ask you do you have a favorite holiday movie you

a lot of people are saying don't mess with a classic but steven spielberg decided to.s out december 10th. it's the same song and dance and fantastic story line, and it's -- it's a show and a movie that we all love. i'm anxious to see what audiences think because, again, when people are so connected to an original, it's hard to do a sequel, but i think if anybody can do it it's steven spielberg on december 10th. the third movie that i think is a must see right now is "a journal for jordan," michael b. jordan, denzel washington directing and introducing shont yeah adams to us. it's spectacular. the film is out christmas day. the film is based on a memoir, and it's based on a memoir that was written about the author's husband that had died in the war, and this movie is brought to life. it looks heart wrenching. it's a love story and everything wrapped up into one. i think it's perfect for the holiday season, and i think the fourth movie that folks would want to see and need to see is "the tragedy of macbeth," denzel washington and frances mcdormand going head to head dire

i was like, no, sir. >> to steven spielberg?use it's really important, you know, women of color in the industry, we need to go and we need to show up and show out and i was not going to deliver any less. >> he was not going to lose you after you said no. >> i think it was maybe just made him a little more intrigued. so he was like really? i was like, really. he asked if i would come back. i said yes and the next thing, is there anything else i should show. i said, i'm afro latino and if you're not willing to explore that potentially, then i don't know you should hire me and he just sort of looked at me and took me in. he was like, okay. and then, you know, the rest is sort of history and here we are. >> oh, so proud of you. >> good for you. >> in so many ways. >> cannot wait to see it. "west side story" is in theaters on december 10th. >>> coming up we go behind the scenes of michael's big weekend. ♪ hi honey! hi mommy! oh i missed you! you just want to video call the kids. ok. hush little baby...don't say a word... but if slow

i know that steven spielberg's, holocaust, moral is trying to do things now and in 3 dimensions and bring it, bring to life that these people are going, are gone. it's going to require massive efforts and massive rethinking of how we keep these memories alive. you know, the great, what was just not another war, whether it's to the 20000000 russians who died in the 6000000 jews. it died. it was the worst war in human history. and it people, the same undercurrents in the world exists today. terms of nationalism and in terms of anti semitism that we've seen growing again. and so we can't allow these memories to disappear justice another historic event because it wasn't just another historic event. and i think it's on all of us to try to find the ways to make this thing real for the new generations of generations that don't have grandparents or involved. you know, some people are age and even younger parents and grandparents at least for the war, or were victims of the war or survivors and everything else. next generations are much, much more difficult, and i think it's going to require a moc
