I was lucky because I'd just worked on Поля (2011), which Michael Mann produced. When she meets Forrest it's the first time she's not able to pick up her bag and walk away. There's a great line that Claudia Cardinale's character says after she sleeps with the man who killed her husband: "It's nothing that a hot bath won't wash away." And there's something of that attitude in Maggie. So she becomes almost the aggressor in the relationship, in the way she pursues him.
He's used to violence but not being around women. When she shows up at this little town, she's an oddity for the brothers and especially Forrest. Maggie is a woman who is very used to being around men - she was a burlesque dancer - and she's probably been hurt by a lot of men, physically and emotionally. I love the relationship between Maggie and Forrest. Gian Luca Pasi De Preposulo ( 10 June 2017.
