If you have never heard of The Princess Bride, well your life has probably been missing something. With quotes that almost everyone knows and unforgettable moments, this movie quickly became a cult classic.
The story begins in Chicago with a sick little boy, who’s grandfather visits with a book. The book is called the Princess Bride, the boy quickly makes fun of the title but soon becomes immersed in the story his grandfather tells him.
In the city of Florin a farm girl named Buttercup and her farmhand Westley fall in love. Westley soon leaves and his ship is attacked by the Dread Pirate Roberts, everyone believes him dead. Including Buttercup, five years later Buttercup agrees, albeit reluctantly, to marry Prince Humperdinck. Buttercup then is abducted by a giant, Fezzik, a Sicilian boss, Vizzini, and a Spanish fencing master, Inigo Montoya. Prince Humperdinck finds out and begins hunting for his lost fiancee. Buttercup is then saved by the Dread Pirate Roberts who turns out to be Westley in disguise, the two reunited lovers flee into the Fire Swamp. Inside they encounter the Rodents of Unusual Size (ROUS) and are subsequently discovered by Prince Humperdinck and his vizier, Count Rugen.
The story is a romantic comedy filled with adventure, sword fighting, and wits. Anyone who has seen this film has greatly benefited from its hilarity.
I would give this film a ten-out-of-ten rating and encourage you all to watch it. Though the ROUS’s are slightly scary and there is some torture, no blood in that scene, but there is blood involved in some of the fight scenes.
Watch this film and drop quotes in the comments section and I will love you forever.
