I have just finished watching the film "The Princess Bride" and would like to give my review and opinion on the movie. "The Princess Bride" was directed by Rob Reiner and has since been known as one of the more popular princess/fairytale movies since its original release in 1987. The run time for the film is 98 minutes and has a 97% from "Rotten Tomatoes."

    The Tiger's Bride Analysis

    Morals and lessons are very hard to instill in one’s mind, especially a stubborn one. The people of the past, however, had found the way to do it. Stories and fairytales, though also used for entertainment, were mainly used to teach lessons to the young. Every tale once analyzed is seen to be formed through certain structures that include Propp Theory among others. As a result, many of the tales told in similar time periods contain the same morals and societies rules and beliefs.…

    Princess Bride Comparison

    Stories and fairytales play a role in a person’s lives from the time the young age of reading stories every night before bed to adulthood when reading is a rare pleasure. If written well, a story captures a person’s mind and imagination. Every character, place, and adventure is pictured, making it feel as if the reader lived it with a character. After the success of a novel in bookstores, many novels transform from pages in a book to actors on the silver screen. Often, the portrayal of the movie differs greatly from the ideas of the characters and adventures readers pictured in their head.…

    Much Ado About Nothing And Pride And Prejudice Analysis

    During the time of Jane Austen and Shakespeare, women were judged by the many different things that they did or didn’t do. One of the biggest things that came into play when determining the purity of a girl were her sexual relationships and if she was a promiscuous woman or not. In Much Ado about Nothing and Pride and Prejudice, we see that the promiscuity of male characters is treated differently and is seen as socially acceptable. Society has set and shaped standards causing women to have their own type of cultural rules to follow based off of their sexual impurity. When dealing with the same issue concerning men, it’s treated in a different way due to the fact that men had more power and received anything they would demand.…

    Secret to Happiness Men and women have different mentalities which often causes disputes in an otherwise perfect relationship. The best way to overcome these challenges is to accept and respect the others point of view.

    Princess Mononoke Analysis

    Throughout the progression of human history, technological advancements have always been made at the expense of altering and harming the environment; so much so that one of the five types of conflict highlighted in literary writing is human vs. nature. One such story that addresses this conflict is Princess Mononoke by Japanese storyteller Hiyao Miyazaki. Although appearing to be a simple animated children’s tale of a boy thrown into a fight between spiritual beings and the human civilization that threatens to encroach upon their territory, Miyazaki delves into an utterly complex commentary on the consequences technological advancements have on its surroundings. Unlike other examples from film and literature that covers the topic however, Miyazaki…

    Anne Of Green Miserables Analysis

    In both of the books Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery and Island by Allistar Macleod, each author plays on the readers five senses in order to give them the ability to place themselves in the context of the story in certain places in Canada, even though some of their readers have never been to Canada before. In Anne of Green Gables, there are many beautiful evocative descriptions of nature throughout the book, which gives the reader the ability to place themselves on Prince Edward Island standing right beside Anne as she progresses through this journey of her life. In Island, there is an art to his storytelling by the way he describes the places in his story such as Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, with such captivating representations.…

    The Ride Of The Valkyries Analysis

    Richard Wagner’s The Ride of the Valkyries illustrates an overwhelming military force that triumphantly defeats its opponents in warfare. This image is brought about by the polyphonic texture from the wavering pitch of the string instruments, the booming intensity of brass and percussion instruments, and the stable rhythm of low and high pitches. The opening of the song presents a sense of urgency as a stack of three high pitches of a string instrument. A brass instrument sets the prideful tone of the music as it follows the stack of string instruments in a low pitch.…

    Disney Princesses Movie Analysis

    The line of Disney Princesses started just before World War II with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). Next in the line, after the war, it was Cinderella (1950), followed by Sleeping Beauty (1959), The little Mermaid (1989), Beauty and the Beast (1991), Pocahontas (1995), Mulan (1998), Princess and the Frog (2009), Tangled (2010), Brave (2012), and Frozen (2013). Each of the movies presents a main female character, usually oppressed, and a main male character, usually quite masculine and with a romantic connection to the Princess. Even though there are a lot of gender and race stereotypes promoted in the first few movies, that seems to have changed towards the later movies, that promote less stereotypes. As the female role was changing in society through the decades, it appeared to be happening the same in Disney Princesses movies.…

    Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind Analysis

    Is there eternal sunshine in the spotless mind? This is the question posed by writers Charlie Kaufman, Michel Gondry and Pierre Bismuth in their movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. This movie, directed by Gondry, explores the idea that feelings and emotions are more powerful than memories, and that if we erased all of our memories, we would still possess the feelings and emotions that were created by those memories. The movie was inspired by a male friend of Bismuth who said that he would like to have all memory of his girlfriend erased. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind tells a story about two people, Joel and Clementine, who are in a bad relationship and eventually break up.…

    Pride And Prejudice Pastiche Analysis

    Since her debut, Jane Austen has proven to be one of the most influential authors of all time. Because of the success of her novel, Pride and Prejudice, many producers in the entertainment industry took the original concept and adapted it to appeal to different audiences of today. These adaptations have proven profoundly successful in reaching both Jane Austen fans and the general public. In an attempt to analyze the techniques of adapting one of Austen’s novels, I created my own pastiche. Although my scene treatment, Deep Thoughts, limited the audience to understanding only the similar events of chapter 54, there are several changes I made for my adaptation in the novel as a whole.…
