"I'd rather eat pizza and drink wine than lose weight to 0 yards." That's what she said and did.
Sophia loren appeared in hundreds of films in his life. In the second comedy "Grumpy Old Man" released on 1995, sophia loren plays a beautiful single Italian woman Maria, who moved to a small town in the United States with her stubborn old mother and bought a riverside bait shop that has been operating in the town for decades.
Old Max, who has been single for a long time, went fishing one day, passed by the bait shop and pushed the door and went in. However, there is a box of wine on the table of the shabby old bait shop. Max picked up a bottle of wine and was seen by Maria's nervous old mother hiding behind the door. She thinks thieves broke in. She grabbed the guy and was going to give him a beating. She was stopped by Maria who had just entered the door. It seems that her old mother was frightened by the police in Sicily, Italy.
Embarrassed Maria added to her mother that she just loved her wine too much. The grapes of these wines were all broken by her mother herself in Palermo, the capital of Sicily. Rare year, unique taste.
Max, who was treated unfairly, joked, "Is this a euphemism for wine smelling like her smelly feet? It seems that old Max still knows a little about wine, and he also knows the ancient method of stepping on grapes to make wine.
This is the first meeting between Max and Maria, but the result is not pleasant. It turned out that Maria hired this bait shop and transformed it into a romantic Italian restaurant by the river, which was bound to be blocked by Max, who loves fishing, and his old friend John, because it meant that they could no longer buy suitable fishing tools and bait, and the guests who came to the restaurant for dinner would also break the peace of the river.
But slowly, humorous and talkative Max and beautiful and virtuous Maria like each other, but they have never talked about it because of the contradiction in the bait shop.
The most smooth and humiliating thing is the "one-night stand history" of John's witty old father and Maria's old mother. Old people's attitude towards life, the skills of picking up girls, and the ability of yellow jokes to come with their mouths open are all envied by young people.
What the old man actually said is Cannelloni, a traditional Italian food, which is more suitable to be translated into a large meat roll.
The first time I met Maria's old mother in the supermarket, he teased her on a large scale. When Maria and her mother had a bad start-up, only John's old father joined in, eating spaghetti and drinking glasses of red wine at night, and not forgetting to visit her from time to time.
Maria's old mother may not have heard too many sweet words about herself for a long time, or she may have drunk too much, so she couldn't help snuggling up to the 95-year-old man that night. Love is never too late.
Of course, the relationship between Maria and Max in her twilight years soon ignited and the story became more and more beautiful. ...
Maria's Italian restaurant is quaint and chic, and the candle lights placed on each table are transformed from traditional Chianti wine bottles. This big-bellied long-necked Chianti wine bottle wrapped in straw also has a name-fiasco.
According to the documents preserved in the ancient town of San Jimnano in Tuscany, the history of Fiasco bottle can be traced back to 1265.
In the 16 and 17 centuries, glass is still a fashionable and expensive material, and it is easily broken. For Italians, it is a smart move to wrap the bottle with straw. At that time, most of the glass technology also came from Italy.
Chianti wine in Tuscany is one of the most famous wines in Italy, and it is exported to foreign countries in large quantities. But in the 17 and 18 centuries, Chianti wine wrapped in straw was cheap and unpalatable. At present, the quality of Chianti wine has been improved qualitatively, but the good quality of some Chianti wineries using traditional straw bottles will also be troubled by the bad reputation of "fiasco" in the past. Someone always frowns at the sight of this straw bottle.
Back in the movie, finally on that day, Max and Maria made an appointment to meet in the restaurant, and kind John reminded Max to bring her a bottle of wine to win the hearts of Americans.
Max bought a bag of boxed wine, which was unsightly, cheap, simple and delicious. Maria, who grew up in a traditional wine-producing country, has never seen this new gadget. She thinks it is very interesting to lift the tap and take out the wine.
I don't think Max did it on purpose. Later, he bought Maria a shiny bracelet, and did not forget to introduce that the bracelet was made of cubic zirconia (usually considered as fake diamonds) and bought from a shopping website.
In the film, as Maria's stubborn old mother said, Maria seems to be cursed by love and has been married five times, so that she hesitates to love again in the face of Max's stupid love and rapid progress.
But in real life, sophia loren has always been blessed by God. Together with Monroe, she is known as "the sexiest woman in the world", but what makes her known to the world is not only her beauty and excellent acting skills, but also her love story with Carlo Ponti for more than half a century. The tortuous and touching plot is widely publicized on the Internet.
Carlo Ponti said in the last few years of his life, "I would do anything for Sophia for love. From beginning to end, I trusted her. She is the love of my life. " For a woman, this should be the greatest happiness.
There are not many stories about true love. It is said that Carlo Ponti's first gift to sophia loren was a bottle of 1953 provence pink wine, probably on a beautiful summer afternoon.
There are too many love stories born of wine or wine, both in and out of the play.
No beauty can refuse wine, especially a beauty who loves food.
