Makes me wonder if she is much older but says 71 to make it more believable

[@DragonHeir92]

It was a double joke; Isabella was really 39 at the time. It’s odd Lisle hints at Greta Garbo as a client. Isabella’s mother Ingrid Bergman thought Greta was envious of her rising popularity during the Classic Hollywood age.

[@annairb3]

Well she said “take care of your body & it will take care of you” 💓

[@alvexok5523]

@Anna Marfa that's possible. I think though that Lisle meant that she was 71 at the time she took the potion, and not that she was 71 at the present moment. Because basically age was meaningless once the potion was taken and she was forever young now, she meant that she was 71 at the last moment that she was aging naturally. Which was at least the time of Marilyn, but no because she mentioned Greta Garbo, that she took the potion at least as far back as the 1940s. That was 50 years earlier, and if she was 71 then, then she would now be at least 131 years old. Or I don't know, maybe she meant that she was 71 then at the present and she took the potion 50 years earlier at age 21 when she invented it and she never aged.

[@alvexok5523]

@@DragonHeir92 yes, that's a good double joke. That's interesting that Ingrid Bergman, her mother, was envious of Garbo. I have a good idea but I'm not completely sure what age Lisle really was then at the present time. See my response to Anna Marfa.

[@i.l.l.l.l.]

I always assumed that Rossellini's character was supposed to be an immortal Cleopatra, and that the "I'm 71" line was just a cover, since Streep's character wouldn't have believed the truth. I recall reading somewhere that an early version of the script implied she was Cleopatra, but that it was taken out at some point (but remnants of her background, like the Ankh on the potion's box, were kept in). The ancient Egyptian theme makes sense, since they were so obsessed with death and battling bodily decay with mummification. Whether she's 71 or 2,000 years old, I wish we knew more about her. The lore of the film is actually really great and you could easily make a whole universe out of it. I love the genre of "immortality, but with a price" or "you get what you asked for but you should've read the fine print," where vain, short-sighted celebrities unwittingly turn into undead liches.

[@ShadowSonic2]

The Ancient Egyptian thing also makes sense when you consider the legends of Mummies being these living rotted people fits with how Streep and Hawn end up in this film...those were the Egyptians who didn't take care of their bodies.

[@SacredSacral]

YES SAME

[@fridakahlo4225]

YES, PLEASE!

[@Sabbathtage]

We can at least infer this: If she was 71 here, then she would have taken the potion herself in the 1920s during the Egyptian archeology craze. Her hair, make-up, and, especially her nail polish style, just screams 1920s. She likely found the potion or recipe for it from studying relics of Ancient Egypt. She likes to imagine herself as god for what she grants people. In earlier versions of the story, she was supposed to be much older and comparable to Cleopatra. She had offered the potion to many famous figures throughout history, but they all refused. She found that only the shallow and vain would take it.

It is part of embracing change. The more you accept it, the more you age gracefully. Aging naturally is nothing to be ashamed of.

Fantastic, I love this movie, so funny and beautiful at the same time, Thanks !!!

[@damianstarks3338]

Agree with you 100 percent !

[@tiffsaver]

Isabella sounds so much like her fabulous mother that it's positively eerie...

[@ajromero3692]

Fun fact, I recently came across the prop check that Madeline writes Lisle in this scene. It was for one million.

[@kate_cooper]

I always assumed that was the cost. It’s a rather cheesy amount and that suits Isabella’s character perfectly.

[@mikeymcchoas3511]

OMG this has been haunting me since I first saw the movie. I was like HOW MUCH WAS IT???

[@realdevonwisenbaker]

“AAAAAAGGGHHHHHHH!!! What are you nuts?!”

[@VixeyTeh]

1:55 "Don't try and flatter me..."

[@sephmanatac8569]

Isabella's aura is so elegant that actually lacking today's stars...

[@lemonkale649]

I always thought that Lisle was probably an alchemist who developed an actual tonic to stop aging since she made a remark about how she and Dr. Menville practically do the same thing.

[@aseelaadossery3378]

They were so gorgeous 😍

[@infinitegoodness233]

I wonder if Lancome has this in their line.

[@ManuelLopez-vo5qp]

The almost fired her because of this movie, surprisingly they fired her 2 years later for looking to old at 42

[@JavenarchX]

Meryl is an astounding actor even just sitting there......

[@CollinSamatas]

"Oh, SCREW the natural law!" One of the most classic scenes in late 20th century cinema.

[@HushtheMag]

Always loved the way her smile died when Streep guessed her age the first time lol

[@leekilgore3728]

I always wished that at the end Isabella walked up to them on the sidewalk after they broke apart and tsk'd at them and pulled out two vials and Mad and Hell gasp and it fades to black.

[@ladyfire44]

That was supposed to happen in the post credit scene. Lisle sends her bodyguards to collect the broken remains of Helen and Madeline before the congregation gets out and drives off with them in tow. Once they're back in her castle, she pulls out two vials to reverse the immortality and ultimately killing the two women to protect the secret.

“Check ok”💀💀💀💀 iconic saying alone💀💀

[@jmann6130]

Always wanted to know what would have happened if the check bounced lol would she have repossessed her life?

[@johnwhite2293]

They are absolutely mesmerising, there are so few actors and actresses out there that can grab your attention like that and hold it absolutely fantastic.

[@landofthesilverpath5823]

She pretty much guess right at the start. She was about 39 at the time of filming! The frown on Rosselini was priceles.

[@HivanGrosny]

Funny how the potion is encased in the ancient Egyptian symbol of life, the Ankh sign. Loved the oxymoron in this detail. And of course Isabella's stunning beauty is just as lovely - it makes it almost flattering being Italian like her.

[@Beware...OblivionIsAtHand]

Besides that, the badge that she places on her sweater after paying for the potion symbolizes a plant called Sempervivum tectorum (Always alive).

[@roseg2239]

Why is that an oxymoron?

[@MOPCLinguistica]

she is half swedish

[@ChristianKnight-1054]

​@@MOPCLinguisticaStill Italian.

[@Mr.Floyd1984]

this has a higher quality than the one from movie clips

[@caressmorell7887]

Lol Meryl Streep’s facial expressions 😆😆😆

[@BrokamaGay]

I can't believe I waited so long to watch this movie. It's so good

[@LohengrinVintageMovies]

old favorite of mine especially this scene, it is Epic

[@TheGreekPianist]

Too bad this can’t happen in real life lol. But then again I wouldn’t want to live forever, either. I’d just want to look younger for a while

[@gigi4266]

i would, as long as there's no catch.

[@crystalitogallo]

It can and it is happening in hollywood.

[@valeria-militiamessalina5672]

@Anna Marfa they are ancient

[@AnnaMaria-oy1fp]

it's not about living forever but looking and feeling young.

[@danmur2797]

It will happen in real life, just not how it's portrayed in the movie. Once scientists better understand quantum physics and how biology interfaces with this, we'll be able to manipulate genetics and chromosomes at the subatomic level. Reverse aging. Heal and prevent all diseases. It seems like fantasy, but it's really coming--people being able to live hundreds of years, if they choose.
