comment
Letters to Juliet is a 2010 romantic drama starring Amanda Seyfried and Chris Egan, Vanessa Redgrave and Franco Nero. It is the tale of Sophie, a young American who travels to the city of Verona, on a "pre-honeymoon" with her fiance Victor. Verona was the home of Juliet Capulet of Romeo and Juliet fame, and due to a series of distractions and divisions, Sophie ends up joining a group of volunteers who respond to letters to Juliet seeking advice about love while her fiance drives round northern Italy looking at mushrooms and cheeses.One letter dated 1957 falls out from behind a brick and describes how a young British girl, Claire, left her lover, Lorenzo Bartolini, waiting under their tree and went back to England. Sophie replies to Claire which inspires Claire to travel to Italy in search of her long-lost love (dragging along her grandson Charlie). The three of them set off on a trip round Tuscany to find all the men named Lorenzo Bartollini. She will know the right one by his eyes. Sophie hopes to write an article on it for her magazine and earn a promotion to writer as she is only a fact-checker. But of course, things are going to change on the trip.(This was director Gary Winick's final film before his early demise at 49.)

Intimate Hair Brushing: Claire brushes Sophie's hair. As Sophie never knew her mother, this shows that Claire has taken on that role for Sophie.

comment
Blatant Lies: Sophie tells Claire that her grandson thought it would be great for the two to meet, when actually he made a snarky and antagonistic reply when Sophie suggested this. Charlie tries to smile and go along with this, but it's implied that Claire knows and finds it amusing. When Charlie falls from a balcony professing his love for Sophie, he asks her if nobody saw. Sophie sees that Lorenzo and Claire are walking closer to the scene, but tells Charlie that nobody saw.

 Letters to Juliet / int_6da1d9ae
comment
Parental Marriage Veto: The reason Claire and Lorenzo did not marry in 1957 was because her parents disapproved of their union when they were teenagers in love. Their disapproval prompted young Claire and Lorenzo to plan to run away together but then Claire got exams back in England and got scared due to the pressure from her parents so she ran away.

Suspiciously Apropos Music: Taylor Swift's "Love Story" plays over the scene as Sophie reads Lorenzo and Claire's wedding invite they sent to her. As Sophie takes a plane to Italy then drives the rest of the way to the location, the lyrics "Marry me Juliet, you'll never have to be alone." play out as Sophie arrives dressed for the wedding.
