    English Curriculum Speech I believe that the ENG 3U1 curriculum would benefit from the addition of a movie by the name of The Princess Bride. The Princess Bride was directed by Rob Reiner and screenplay was written by William Goldman in 1987, who also wrote the same 1973 novel the movie is based off of. It follows the adventures of a peasant named Westley and his journey into a fantastical world filled with pirates, royalty and miracles. The story starts off with Westley falling in love with a…

    Modleski argues that men are afraid of women who exploit their sexuality to achieve fame, because they feel threatened. In Notorious, we have Devlin himself proving that, when he says, “I’ve always been scared of women”, but the fact that Cary Grant’s character associates female sexuality with male peril does not necessarily mean that the film itself follows this misogynistic view. In other words, just because Devlin considers Alicia a femme fatale, that does not mean that Notorious is directing…

    To my thought, North by Northwest is Alfred Hitchcock's most charming film. It has an affable lead in Cary Grant, a hazardous, hot blonde in Eva Marie Saint and a super smooth scoundrel in type of the radiant James Manson. It has a gleaming script, marvelous set pieces and, since I'm obviously being alliterative and exciting score. It is a genuine great of Hollywood silver screen. In North by Northwest, Hitchcock utilizes a blend of these two types of portrayal to tell what a generally complex…

    The Princess Bride, created by Rob Reiner, presents love, death, and fate. This movie brings the characters closer together as they go through their own quests and complete their quests. Archetypal criticism reveals that the strength of a relationship can overcome misfortune by reflecting the quest archetype. In Princess Bride, Westley's quest is to return to his true love, Buttercup, whom he has loved since a young worker on her family's farm. With no money to marry, Westley decides to strike…

    Upon first glance the princess bride may seem like just another “hero-saves-the-girl-and-helps-all-his-friends-achieve-their-goals” type of story, which it is. However what the book and movie both accomplish is to recognize the irony in itself. The book is basically a “Book within a book” and the movie is “A book within a movie”. Both of them achieve their goal in showing this. The book starts with a boy being read a book, his grandfather stops reading because he sees that his grandson is…

    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…
