“My Cousin Vinny,” a 1992 courtroom comedy, is still regarded as one of Marisa Tomei’s most beloved films, even after almost 30 years since its release. This film is praised for its timeless humor and famous scenes, from Joe Pesci’s remarkable performance to her portrayal of Mona Lisa Vito.
Did you know that the producers had originally considered a few different actors? Or that so many fictional characters were based on actual people? Come along as we delve into the fascinating behind-the-scenes information, such as omitted scenes and forgotten anecdotes.
The idea for the movie came from a coincidental meeting. Inspiring material for screenwriter Delauter came from an accidental encounter with a bar test aspirant in the early 1970s. The basis for the plot of the movie was established by this interaction and the candidate’s will to succeed on the test despite failing it several times.
Moreover, people from Joe Pesci’s neighborhood had an influence on the characters in “My Cousin Vinny.” Pesci brought authenticity to his portrayal of Vinny by combining characteristics from several acquaintances, drawing on his upbringing in New Jersey to create a figure who struck a chord with viewers.
Why Do Married Couples in Japan Sleep Separately
Smaller houses and apartments don’t stop many Japanese couples from sleeping in different beds or even rooms. This is not some kind of an intimate issue or problem with the relationship, but something that they believe is good for them.
We at Bright Side found out why married couples in Japan choose to sleep separately, and we really like their reasons.
They have different sleep schedules.
The first thing that makes Japanese couples decide to go to bed separately is different work schedules. Waking up your significant other just because you got home late from work or have to leave early won’t result in good quality rest for them. This is why spending the night in a different room makes sense. This will give them both an undisturbed and healthier sleep.
Babies sleep with their mothers.
Japanese mothers sleep with their children and this is considered very important, so the father needs to decide if he wants to share the same bed or go to a different room. Even science has proven that co-sleeping can help parents and children get a more restful sleep. It helps the child to maintain a stable temperature and heart rate (which is really critical in infancy) and at the same time, it decreases the chance of sudden infant death syndrome. Also, this contributes to the child having better self-esteem, becoming independent faster, and doing great in school.
For them, sleeping separately means peace.
While many couples who start to sleep alone think that divorce is at their door, the Japanese see it differently. They value their sleep a lot and they don’t want to be disturbed while sleeping. This means that they don’t need and don’t like to put up with snoring, restless sleep, kicking, etc. Even though some don’t have the opportunity to sleep in different rooms, they still wish they could get their beauty sleep.
Couples have a history of sleeping separately.
Futons are filled with cotton, which provides support and comfort. In the past, only single sized ones were used as beds. So, even if you wanted to cuddle up with your loved one, you would have ended up between the sheets, on the cold floor, and you wouldn’t feel comfortable. Today there are families that still use this type of bedding, especially because it doesn’t take up a lot of space and it is easy to store.
Do you sleep separately from your partner? Do you think this type of practice might be even better for your relationship?
