Date: July 19th, 2019 7:40 PM Author: diverse stag film useless brakes I appreciate the hot take of Miami Vice at 1. Personal favorite of mine too
Mohicans is way too low |

Date: July 19th, 2019 7:41 PM Author: diverse stag film useless brakes The Keep is garbage and I would also move the Insider up.
Agree Ali was awful |

Date: July 20th, 2019 12:53 AM Author: diverse stag film useless brakes Disappointing but way better than Ali.
I put in on blackhat level. Weak for Mann but still a very well made movie |

Date: July 20th, 2019 12:51 AM Author: diverse stag film useless brakes Criminally underrated. It got destroyed for changing the shows aesthetic
Thats not entirely unfair, but as a stand alone its a visual masterpiece and really captures the allure of Miami. |
|
Date: July 20th, 2019 12:53 AM Author: aromatic round eye The movie had no relation to the TV show except the name. It was obviously an unrelated spec script that they just slapped the MV title on to presumably sell more tickets to boomers (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4306346&forum_id=2#38559765) |
|
Date: July 20th, 2019 12:55 AM Author: primrose stage Michael Mann created and executive produced the tv show. The way everyone in the world pictures Miami is how Michael Mann initially depicted by in the 80s (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4306346&forum_id=2#38559774) |
|
Date: July 20th, 2019 12:57 AM Author: diverse stag film useless brakes I dont think that is correct. The movie really gets Miami and would not be the same in another city. Same as the show. Mann clearly loves the place. He just wanted to go in a darker direction.
Im also fairly certain Mann wrote the script |

|
Date: July 20th, 2019 1:03 AM Author: primrose stage This becomes even more obvious if you see his superfluous aesthetic indulgence in the directors cut, namely the fast boat drag race with sonny crocket that wouldn't exist in any spec script. I'm pretty sure he also wrote a scene specifically for the updated Phil Collins song. Those kind of Mann flourishes wouldn't be allowed in spec script.

|
Date: July 20th, 2019 1:07 AM Author: diverse stag film useless brakes That boat scene is pretty cool but I vastly prefer the opening in the middle of the club; Mansion I believe.
Updated song only negative in whole movie. Shouldve just kept original |
|
Date: July 20th, 2019 1:13 AM Author: primrose stage I agree. That jay z LP song used to play every time I started my car. It probably sounds dumb to a prole but Mann's ability to recognize that the jolting cold opening on this particular Encore remix was going to send chills down spines. Leveraging under appreciated music tracks to frame a scene and throw gasoline on it is a Mann hallmark (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4306346&forum_id=2#38559811) |
|
Date: July 20th, 2019 1:33 AM Author: diverse stag film useless brakes So cr. I always liked that song but to this day I associate with that moment and it went up so many levels (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4306346&forum_id=2#38559849) |

Date: July 20th, 2019 12:55 AM Author: diverse stag film useless brakes It has some great moments but its not as visually compelling overall and the soundtrack is below average. End scene with moby song is great but I find the ending frustrating. Deniros character should have left (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4306346&forum_id=2#38559773) |

Date: July 20th, 2019 12:59 AM Author: diverse stag film useless brakes In the best Mann movies every shot is perfect. Heat has some great moments but a lot of it is shot like a well made but generic action movie (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4306346&forum_id=2#38559789) |
|
Date: July 20th, 2019 1:06 AM Author: primrose stage The entire film is a visual masterpiece. Literally from the opening frame to the last. Take any piece of celluloid and frame it up. It's the pinnacle of post-modernism intersecting with commercial art.
And honestly I don't even want to address your comment about the score. It's utterly flawless. Every single track on the OST is 180. |
|
Date: July 20th, 2019 1:10 AM Author: diverse stag film useless brakes I love all his other movies and we seem to agree on MV. Heat just never resonated with me quite the same way. I want to love it but I dont. Scenes in deniros hills and malibu houses are cool and its peak kilmer (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4306346&forum_id=2#38559804) |
|
Date: July 20th, 2019 1:14 AM Author: primrose stage I didn't love it until the 2nd or 3rd time I rewatched. I think the running time and Portman subplot is a weakness but only on the initial viewing (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4306346&forum_id=2#38559813) |
