Miami Vice Lovin'
For her big love scene, Harris was nervous. “I haven’t done
one before, actually, and simulating sex in front of 50 people is always
really intimidating,” she said. “But, Michael [Mann] was really
great because he made sure that there were as few people as possible in
the room, and Jamie was fantastic as well because he really tried to make
me feel comfortable, and keep me laughing, as well, as much as possible.”
Some of the comic relief even ended up in the scene, with Tubbs pretending
to finish too soon, and then revealing he is a dynamo after all. “I
thought the most important thing to do with this love scene is, after you’ve
been with someone for a period of years, its never like music and flowers
and candles,” Foxx said. “No, it’s not like that. There’s
a little bit of fun. You kind of know each other. So, that was the reasoning
of having that comic relief. We’ve done it before, so that makes it
easier, as opposed to slow motion.”
Director Mann approved of Foxx’s choice. “As he was saying,
it comes out of the nature of the relationship,” Mann said. “Tubbs
is the more volatile of the two partners, but his life is centered in this
relationship. And, as Jamie was saying, it’s Tuesday night. It’s
not the profound experience that Crockett has, when he meets the right woman
and the wrong woman, and they get together.”
For Crockett’s love scene, the love scene represented the tragedy
of their relationship. “Isabella and Crockett are two people who find
each other, in the wrong place, at the wrong time, though they’re
the right people,” Farrell said. “That’s the unfortunate
thing about what transpires between the two of them. To quote good old Jerry
Maguire, they do kind of complete each other. They are two people that live
in very volatile environments. He’s on one side of the law and this
woman, Isabella, is on the other side of the law, and they come together
in what is a very dangerous idea and a very bad idea. The scene they have
in Havana, they say at the bar, ‘You know, this is never going to
last. It’s never going to work,’ but they find in each other,
in that act of making love, that it’s almost overwhelming. It’s
almost too much to take. Crockett’s someone that would have had one
night stands, over the years, prolifically, and never be emotionally attached
to anyone, and one of the primary reasons would be the work that he involves
himself in. But, he finds, with this woman, someone that seems to make complete
sense, perfect sense. And so, doing our scene together was just about emotional
investment, or emotional realization, in seeing some of yourself, maybe
the best of yourself and none of the worst, in the other person, but there
is something quite tragic too it, as well, I suppose.”
