When I was little, my mother always read me stories before bed. I couldn’t sleep without hearing the happy ending that I always knew was coming. The Princess Bride, a movie about a grandfather who reads his sick grandson a book about a Farm boy named Wesley and his true love Buttercup. In this fairytale they must overcome great obstacles while fighting for their love. This movie brings me right back to my childhood cuddling up under my covers hanging on my mothers every word. Although it is at some points unrealistic and predictable, The Princess Bride is an interesting, humorous, and heartwarming movie due to its’ setting, comical characters, and deep true love story.

In the film, The Princess Bride, the director Rob Reiner introduced many themes into the plot. A significant theme in the film, The Princess Bride, is ’Intelligence’. Had intelligence not have been a contributing factor to the plot, there would be a completely different outcome at the end.

Despite having an archetypal storyline, The Princess Bride proves to be anything but predictable. From the moment the title appears onscreen in a font that evokes classic fairy tales such as Sleeping Beauty, it is clear the story is going to be rooted in fantasy. Following the appearance of the title comes the sound of a child’s cough as the black screen gives way to the graphics a baseball video game. The camera pans around the room to reveal posters of Chicago Cubs and Bears players, and soon rests on a child, presumably the source of the cough. Thus, the mise-en-scene has introduced to one of our two narrators, the other being the child’s grandfather who comes to read him a story. Though the novel read by the grandfather conveys a hackneyed tale of undying love, the film frames this in a self-aware way with periodic interruption of the story’s narrative by comments from young boy which are cynical at first, by grow to reflect a genuine interest as the movie progresses. This move is self-reflexive in that it reminds the audience that they are, in fact, watching a move; however, this serves to elevate the meaning of the film. Through the use of sound, editing, and mise-en-scene, The Princess Bride emphasizes that even though the concept of true love has saturated society and become cliché, it’s no less potent because of the cultural overplay. I will specifically discuss the utilization of deep focus shots, color, and lighting that caricaturize the traditional fairy tale,

The Princess Bride by William Goldman is a metafictional story that questions and honors various aspects of traditional romance narrative stories.

It is remarkably difficult to narrow down a favorite movie because I have a few, however the one film that I have already watched numerous times and still plan on watching many more would have to be The Princess Bride. It is a story based on the book by S. Morgenstern’s classic tale of true love and high adventure abridged with the “good parts” version by William Goldman who later translated it to screenplay. The book was actually written as a nonexistent political satire, however this story is also infused with excerpts from Goldman’s fictional life. The film preserves this unique structure to tell a story within a story by using the actors Peter Faulk and Fred Savage as grandfather and sick grandson, respectively. The Princess Bride uses a variety of techniques from acting technique, cinematography, narrative structure, the potential for societal impact, style, genre, and sound to reveal a satire of the common fairy tale, while simultaneously becoming one of the most cherished movies for over thirty years.

The Movie, The Prince Bride was about a young man named Westley and a woman named Buttercup that were deeply in love, but were separated for a long time due to their different paths in life. Westley would have to return in order to save Buttercup from not only an unwanted marriage but also to save her life. He must go through tons of trouble to be reunited with his true love Buttercup. In the movie The Princess Bride (1987) Rob Reiner explains that love is the strongest element Rob Reiner uses Irony and repetition to prove this point. Rob Reiner uses these elements in order emphasize the connection true love has is strong. In order to show people that love still exists therefore you shouldn’t just give up on love. The movie pertains towards people that are in love or have experienced it due to the movie being focused on a connection between two people even though how separate their lives were they were able to be together. The author uses Irony to prove that love is the strongest bond between people. When Westley was in a mission to save Buttercup he had a barrier in his way, a giant in which the odds on beating the giant was not in Westley’s favor. He was still able to Beat him in a fist fight, the connection true love created allowed him to win. The example from the movie was ironic because due to the odds westley had the viewers would think it would be impossible to fool the giant, the author was able to create physical but at the same time still making it ironic. This showed the viewers that there is nothing stopping him and true love. The author also uses irony when Buttercup believed that she was being forced to marry Prince Humperdink because he wanted the marriage, but actually the whole time Prince Humperdink was trying to have Buttercup killed by Vizzini who kidnapped and tried to murder her. He did all of this to frame it on Guilder to start a war. This shows irony and relates to the theme because the fact that Prince Humperdink was actually trying to kill Buttercup throws off the viewers because it seemed like he tried to save her when she was kidnapped but it was all his doings was completely against the viewer's expectation but created humor at the same time. This connects to the theme because

In addition, he was definitely a hopeless romantic and has great affection for adventures, which was the only fantasy part of his book. Throughout the book, the plot moved from romance to despair to adventures, and then back to romance. Goldman specifically claimed that he decided to cut off the boring parts of the book, also known as the history side of it, and to focus on love and adventures. Other than that, the rest of the story is pretty normal, whereby the main lead would always win in the end, and have happy endings.

In The Pearl, Kino (The Main Character) protects his baby Coyotito in a violent fashion throughout the book. In addition, Kino deals with self-control troubles in The Pearl, so he finds it hard to manage himself when caring for Coyotito.
