Movie review - The princess bride

 The movie that I saw in GLPS was 'The princess bride'. This movie was made at 1987, and the director of this movie is Rob Reiner. The genre of this movie is diverse. Romance, comic, adventure, fantasy, and action. This movie is a romance movie specifically. The message that this movie is giving is, 'True love goes forever'. Now, see the trailer.

 First, let's start off with characters in this movie. The  characters are the princess Buttercup(pB), Westley, prince Humperdink, Spaniard, giant, priest, miracle man...etc. There are a lot of characters in this movie. In this many characters, pB and Westley is the main character.
 The movie started off with a boy, who is sick. Therefore his grandfather read him the book, the princess bride. Before pB became a princess, she was living on a farm. Westley was the farm boy on her farm. Westley always helped her and said "As you wish". They knew that they liked each other, but they didn't have enough money for marriage, so he had to go away to earn money so they can be married. She waited for a long time and heard the news that Westley is dead. Therefore, to forget Westley, she decided to marry the pH. pH planned to kidnap the pB, and he tried to kill pB and put her dead body to an other land, to find reasons to have a war with other country. 
 But, there was man in black who tried to follow the pirates(who kidnapped pB, and they're ordered to do it by pH). Man in black followed where the pirates went. Pirates climbed up the cliff of insanity with a rope, and man in black tried to climb with the rope of pirates' too. But, pirates just cut off the rope. There was three pirates. Bald, giant, and Spaniard are those three.

 Man in black climbs with help of Spaniard, and they talked a little. Spaniard's father was dead because of 6 fingered man, and that was the thing he talked about. After a short talk, black man fights with Spaniard and wins. He wins giant and bald, too. pB was saved by the black man, and guess what? The black man was Westley! He wasn't dead. After that, they escape from the prince together, and goes to the forest of thieves. In there, they met a big rat, who bites Westley hardly. There was fire swamp, also there was quick sand, too. But, they are caught by the people by kingdom. Prince said the kingdom will just let Westley go away, when pB comes back to the palace.

 Therefore, princess goes back to the kingdom. But, pH didn't do what he promised. He made Westley go to the pit of dis pare, and he almost killed Westley by taking away 50 years of his life. Spaniard and giant finds out where Westley is, and sees Westley he's almost dead. They bring him to miracle man, and he makes Westley alive. But the problem was, Westley couldn't control his body well. Whatever, the giant, Westley and Spaniard goes in to the palace when there was a marriage between pB and pH. Westley saves the pB, and Spaniard meets the enemy of his father. He kills the 6 fingered man to revenge his father. Westley, giant, and Spaniard binds prince and makes princess escape. That's the end of the story.

 The opinion of this movie was, at first I thought it was 'kissing movie'. But, it wasn't it was a well-made movie, that combined all source of genre such as action, comedy, things like that. The thing that this movie was awesome is that Spaniard helped Westley to climb up, so I was able to see helping enemy as friends. From this scene, I learned that this it a real leadership.
  There was a lot of action scene such as fighting with pirates, or fighting with rats. There was a lot of fantasy too. Because of these a lot of fantasy, actions, and things, it was a good movie. I recommend to watch this movie!

  1. This is very good, but you did not mention leadership lessons in your conclusion. You have just enough pictures to provide information but not be distracting.
