Clarity is the most important thing
“My biggest concern was clarity,” Baumgarten said. “But the way this whole sequence was structured by Aaron helped me a lot.” As the scene begins, the audience knows that defense attorney William Kunstler (Mark Rylance) has received a damning piece of evidence against one of the Chicago 7, Tom Hayden (Eddie Redmayne), about what occurred months earlier at the Democratic Convention.
“So Kunstler takes the role of the prosecutor for a mock interrogation,” Baumgarten said. “What then unfolds is a lot of complicated footage, but once we’ve established that this is a mock interrogation and positioned the characters clearly in the scene, then we can intercut between Kunstler and Hayden and the flashback. The audience catches on quickly and can follow the rhythm back and forth.”
