The Princess Bride


The Princess Bride is my absolute favorite movie. Although, many people get thrown off by the title and think that's it's a girly movie about a bunch of princesses getting married. That is not AT ALL how it is.

In the movie there is this girl named buttercup, who after her fiance, Wesley was murdered by the dread pirate roberts, was forced to marry the awful Prince Humperdink. One day on her daily horse ride, she was kidnapped by an evil man named Vizzini and his 2 assistants, inigo and fezzik. After that, she is kidnapped from the dread pirate roberts, who is truly her "dead" fiance. He was never dead in the first place! On their way back to the village, they passed many obsticals such as the fire swamp which is filled with deadly things. Once Wesley and Buttercup got back to the village, the prince and some of his army surrounded them. To make sure Wesley wasn't harmed by the men, Buttercup made a deal to marry Prince Humperdink as long as Wesley was returned to his ship safely. Humperdink did not keep his word and Wesley was taken to the pit of despair, which is as terrible as its own name describes it. There, Wesley is killed for the second time. Inigo and Fezzik took him to the miracle Max and then found out that he was only "mostly dead". There, he was given a magic pill and after awhile he awoke. The three stormed into the wedding and saved Buttercup. This is the only "heroic or heart-warming" part of the story.

If you watch the Princess Bride, I can almost guarentee that you will love some of the classic quotes from this fantastic movie.
