"The Princess Bride"

During last week's first study period, class 15 to 20 watched a movie called "The Princess Bride"

 <The Princess Bride Teaser>

This movie was made in 1987 and directed by Rob Reiner. UK and Ireland was the place where it was filmed. Both such beautiful places! When I heard about the time it was made, I was really shocked. I mean, 1980s movie doesn't sound interesting. Don't you think so?The 2 main characters' name were Buttercup and Westley. And the whole movie was about how Westley saved Buttercup from King Humpurdinck. 

They had risks in Fire Swamp or the Lightning Sand. But the power of love had overcome everything. In my opinions, I would have liked it better if there were some changes made in the movie, like making the fight with villains more realistic. Anything beside this, I pretty much enjoyed the movie. Romance was romantic, the male character was okay, and there was a happy ending. As expected, Westley had defeated all the villains. Well, now let me tell you about the unexpected part.

Before getting information, you need a background information on what was in the movie. I would like to categorize it to make it easier. First thing I want to talk about is the genre of this movie. It is romance comedy movie which, personally, is my favorite. There were some romantic parts for the girls to say "Awww". And for every body to laugh out loud. For example, saving Buttercup from Vizzini was romantic and Inigo keep on saying "Prepare to Die" was funny. Now, you might not be sure about who Vizzini is or Inigo is. Well, I'll tell you. As you already know, Buttercup is a heroine of the entire movie. She was acted by Robin Wright. Buttercup is a very brave girl who can push the kidnapper off from the cliff. Also, Buttercup loves Westley. Westley was used to be a farm boy working for Buttercup's house. After Buttercup was kidnapped, he climbed a cliff to rescue her. He came back for Buttercup because they were true love. People who kidnapped are Inigo, Fessik, and Vizzini. 

Vizzini and Westley use tricks to kill each other, in result, Vizzini dies. And at the end, Fessik and Inigo ed up helping Westley. King Humpurdinck has paid Vizzini, Fessik, and Inigo to kidnap Buttercup and dump her in the shores of Guilder to start a war with them. Since you know who were in the movie, it;s time to learn what happened. At first, there was a sick boy, his grandfather is telling him a story. This is how the movie starts. When Buttercup ask Westley to do a favor, all he say is "As you wish" which means I love you. So they fall in love. But few years later, Buttercup heard that Westley died. So she promise to marry King Humpurdinck. Before few days of wedding, Buttercup is kidnapped by 3 villains. Fessik, Inigo, and Vizzini. But there was a guy in black following them. After the guy rescued Buttercup, Buttercup finds out that the guy on black is Westley. So, they run away form King Humpurdinck. They got caught by the soldiers and Buttercup was sent back to the castle. Westley was captured and tortured even though King humpurdinck promised to let him go. king Humpurdinck suck up 50 years of his life and Fessik and Inigo comes and save him. A miracle had happened. At the castle, Inigo gets to have the revenge to 6 fingered man, who killed his father. In the bedroom, Westley tie King Humpurdinck into a chair and run away with Buttercup. Finally, they all live happily ever after.

Like every other movie, there are some parts that I don't like about the movie. For example, as I mentioned before, the part where Westley fight Fessik and Inigo was not good. Background didn't look realistic enough, the actions were so boring and they looked like they were fooling around. Another part i don't like is when Westley screams out "As you wish" while rolling from a hill. It really looked like they were rolling themselves and it looked so fake. Everything else, I pretty much liked it. I liked the sick boy in the intro. He was just cute when he was asking his grandpa to read more.

If there are changes made in the movie, i would give a 4.5 stars out of 5. 

                   But, there are some weakness which I don't like. 

I would give 3.5 stars out of 5. 

I recommend this movie for teenage girls just my age or some 1980s people to feel homesick. I'll come back next time with another writing. See you soon. Bye!
