Bride kidnapping

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 Princess Bride" is set in fiction and fantasy places but the movie mainly takes place in "Florin" and "Guilder." The movie begins with a…

“Westley, it’s freezing in this nursery!” Buttercup shouted “I know but we don’t have money to pay for heat.” Westley said. “Well then, I guess I will get a job.” “No need for that.” Westley said annoyed. “Just knit some blankets while Emily is taking a nap.” Wesley grabbed his sword, kisses buttercup and his two week old baby on the forehead and leaves for work. “Don’t worry baby.

On the farm there’s Westley, a poor farmboy. Buttercup spends most of her day bossing Westley around ,until she realizes she's in love with Westley. Lucky for her, Westley…

In the novel The Princess Bride, William Goldman illustrates the theme that “Life is not fair, it is just fairer than death” by “abridging” S. Morgenstern’s Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventures. Firstly, Goldman satirizes the romance genre to reveal a collective idealism embedded within human nature. Then, he uses metafiction to contrast the parallel stories between Westley and Buttercup to Goldman and Helen. Lastly through Domingo, Yeste, and Inigo’s stories, the author illustrates…

The Princess Bride From climbing up seven hundred foot cliffs, to fighting off unusually large rodents, and a climactic resurrection, The Princess Bride is the story of an adventure keeping viewers on the edge of their seats. The story surrounds the cliché: the hero always gets the girl. We follow the protagonist Westley as he sets out on an action filled journey driven by his love for a woman named Buttercup. The manipulation of tropes, commonly recurring literary devices, give a comedic feel…
