Third Post : Movie Review

After few days in the GLPS camp we watched a movie called 'The Princess Bride.' It was made in 1987 directed by Robe Reiner. The genres is fairy tale, romantic comedy, and adventure. The movie was quit long for about 2 hours. The characters were the boy, Buttercup, Westley, Prince Humperdick, Fezzik, Inigo, Vizzini, Miracle Max and the citizens. The settings were cliffs of insanity, fire swamp, lightening sand, Forrest of Theives and Pit of Despair.



The main storyline is about Buttercup and Westley's true love. Buttercup and Westley and loved each other, although Westley left to get money and seek fortune. After 5 years, Buttercup gets married with Prince Humperdick though Buttercup doesn't want the marriage. She gets kidnapped in the Forrest of Theives by Fezzik, Inigo, and Vizzini. The theives attempt to kill Buttercup to blame the other country that they killed her to start a war. It was all Prince Humperdick's big plan. Westley faces some hardships during this quest. He gets to get tortured by the Pit of Despair by Prince Humperdick. Westley rescues Buttercup at the moment Buttercup was getting married to Prince Humperdick. Westley attacks the villans and live happily with Buttercup.

There were several lessons I learned from this movie. One was that true love never breaks and lasts forever. The other one was about bravery and knowledge to face challenges. Also, the movie had some parts of Inigo's revenge. Indigo managed to revenge Miracle Max who had 6 fingers because he killed his father. The person who had the most leadership was Westley because he attempted to rescue Buttercup with his courage. I learned some qualities of leadership from the movie. I learned teamwork, driving force, and self-control. Teamwork was shown by thieves which were Fezzik, Inigo, and Vizzini. They helped each other to handle Westley with their own skills. Fezzik used his strength and power. Inigo used his fighting skills. Vizzini who was the smart one attempted to use his brain to beat Westley. Though, Westley was the one who won. Also, the boy was very cute when he claimed to his grandfather to stop when Buttercup and Westley kissed. I found of kind of shocking that the story was read by the grandfather because I forgot of that fact that the movie was actually from the story.  The movie was too old and boring, I was very disappointed. I do not recommend this movie!
