Nia Long Wore Garbage Bags for That Rain Scene
In the final scene, after delivering her poem for Darius, who she didn’t believe was in the poetry club at the time, Nina leaves, only to encounter him outside. They have a very romantic, albeit wet, moment in the rain, ending the film. Of course, that shot, with the increase in water used, was a bit much for Long.
“Do you know what I had underneath my wardrobe? It was cold, but then it started to rain so they added more rain for the scene, and I wrapped my body in garbage bags to stay dry,” she said. “We knew that it was going to be a quick scene and we didn’t want to have to go back and change clothes or be sopping, soaking wet, so that’s what we did.”
