The Princess Bride - Movie review

Today, I tried to post about 'The princess Bride'





It is Romantic comedy adventure film. In this movie, there are Grandson (sick boy), Buttercup (Princess), Westley, Prince Humperdinck, Fezzik (Giant), Inigo or Spaniard (Spanish sword fighter), Vizzini (smart man who dies), Count Rugen (six fingered man) ,Miracle Max (brings Westley back to life), Dread Pirate Roberts (Westley was actually the man in black). The background of this movie is cliffs of insanity, Shrieking Eels, Fire swamp, Forest of Thieves and Pit of Despair. This story was started from the grandfather telling the story to his sick grandson.



At the beginning of the story, Westley worked in the Butter cup's farm. But suddenly, Westley have to go to the war. At that time, they love each others. It spents 5 years after Westley went to the war.
Buttercup married with the prince Humperdinck. When princess Buttercup way to go castle, she kidnapped from Giant and Spaniard. They tried to get some money from her. But Westley tried to save her to pass three barriers with his brightness.
He wore black mask, so she couldn't notice him.
Suddenly, she noticed him when he said 'As a wish'. When Prince Buttercup asked him to do something, Westley mostly said 'As a wish'. So she could notice him.



Unfortunately, the army from prince arrest Westley. Because prince try to kill princess Buttrercup. He thought that Westley will save her from the danger. So he wants to kill Westley. But Princess Buttercup makes he can't kill Westley. The Westley imprisoned basement. Inigo and Fezzik reunite, and Fezzik informs Inigo of Rugen's existence. Inigo decides that they need the help of the man in black and follows them. Inigo and Fezzik arrive in Rugen's forture chamber to find Westley dead, but they bring him to a miracle man named Miracle Max, Who explains that Westley is "only mostly dead" reviving him to a state of heavy paralysis. But the Spaniard and Giant tried to save him. After Westley can save princess Bride with Giant and Spaniard. Also Spaniard revenge of his father through kill the Count Rugan (Who has six fingers). In the end each of them find their own life. Also they are on a good relationship. I could think no one can divide their relationship. They spent happy days.



In my opinions, it looked like the story for elementary school student. Because it was all about the Princess and the love. But it was different from other love stories. They could give us the lessons and teach us about true love. I tried to think a lot while I watch this movie. I think it could be a educational movie.
From this movie, we could know the some lessons.
When you watch princess Buttercup, she tried to believe that Westley was revived.
I think Westley was devoted man for the Princess Buttercup. He would save her from the danger even he could died.
They give us big lesson that if you want to be a good leader, you need to believe others and be devote to them. If you be a good leader, others will follow you.

  1. Nice review, but perhaps you should have put less into your plot and more into your opinion and conclusion.
