A love fairy tale about politics and human nature

In the oral class that day, John showed us a section of "The Princess and Bride". He said it was a movie he liked very much, and he had watched it many times. I actually can't understand why a man likes watching this type of movie. So I finished reading it tonight.

It is nothing more than a very traditional love story. The two have been childhood sweethearts since childhood and liked each other, but the boy wanted to give each other a better life, so he went on a long voyage. As a result, there was no news. The girl thought he had met a pirate and died. Five years later, the girl was forced to marry the prince. One day she was kidnapped by several pirates while riding a horse. The boy at the time appeared to rescue her, and the two met again. Later, the prince kidnapped the princess, and the boy took the pirate friend to rescue the princess. In the end, the two people lived happily together.

What touched me most about this movie was the story of a pirate named Enig Montoya. He wanted to avenge his father. A guy with six fingers killed his father. So when he finally saw the six-fingered man in the palace, even though he had been stabbed by the sword, he stood up and killed the enemy.

This movie uses a different technique. This movie is actually a story told by grandpa to his grandson. So from the perspective of a child, another interpretation of the film was made.

The whole movie, you call it a fairy tale, but it also has a trace of politics and exposure to humanity. The prince kidnapped the princess in order to marry the princess. After the hero brought his pirate friends into the palace, the cowardice and withdrawal of the officers and ministers was also ridiculous. The pirate has never been cruel to the princess and helped the hero who was still an enemy to climb up the cliff. When the male protagonist and the pirate are drinking, the feeling of psychological game is also very exciting.

One thing I admire is that there was a scene where the male and female protagonist fell into the sand and mud together. When they climbed out, their faces were covered with sand. I could even clearly see that the male protagonist’s nostrils were also filled with sand... ..

Attach the photos of the male protagonist before and now

As well as the hero's As you wish is really sultry, but he and a few pirates have contracted most of the laughs...

Although it is always boring, it is easy to be moved by the love stories in fairy tales?

    I watched the translated version when I was a child, and I never forgot it and watched it again. It is a film suitable for children to watch.

    True love binds them together, and this bond allows them to find each other no matter how far they are, and even death cannot separate them. The princess rejects the prince?? chooses a pirate, her farm boy, and the prince is actually an evil person, subverting the traditional fairy tale. Robin Wright is beautiful, the blond pirate is very handsome, and he is still very attractive despite being middle-aged! This kiss? Let all the kisses out of reach. The Spanish boy who avenged his father was stabbed so many times and still survived? Falling into a bunker? I thought they'd eat ready-made roast pigs

The Princess Bride quotes

  • Inigo Montoya: Who are you?

    Man in Black: No one of consequence.

    Inigo Montoya: I must know...

    Man in Black: Get used to disappointment.

    Inigo Montoya: 'kay.

  • Man in Black: All right. Where is the poison? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both drink, and find out who is right... and who is dead.

    Vizzini: But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet or his enemy's? Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.

    Man in Black: You've made your decision then?

    Vizzini: Not remotely. Because iocane comes from Australia, as everyone knows, and Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.

    Man in Black: Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.

    Vizzini: Wait till I get going! Now, where was I?

    Man in Black: Australia.

    Vizzini: Yes, Australia. And you must have suspected I would have known the powder's origin, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.

    Man in Black: You're just stalling now.

    Vizzini: You'd like to think that, wouldn't you? You've beaten my giant, which means you're exceptionally strong, so you could've put the poison in your own goblet, trusting on your strength to save you, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But, you've also bested my Spaniard, which means you must have studied, and in studying you must have learned that man is mortal, so you would have put the poison as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.

    Man in Black: You're trying to trick me into giving away something. It won't work.

    Vizzini: IT HAS WORKED! YOU'VE GIVEN EVERYTHING AWAY! I KNOW WHERE THE POISON IS!

    Man in Black: Then make your choice.

    Vizzini: I will, and I choose... what in the world can that be?

    [Vizzini gestures up and away from the table. The Man in Black looks backwards. Vizzini swaps the goblets]

    Man in Black: What? Where? I don't see anything.

    Vizzini: Well, I- I could have sworn I saw something. But no matter.

    [Vizzini tries to hold back laughter]

    Man in Black: What's so funny?

    Vizzini: I'll tell you in a minute. First, let's drink. Me from my glass, and you from yours.

    [Vizzini and the Man in Black drink]

    Man in Black: You guessed wrong.

    Vizzini: You only think I guessed wrong! That's what's so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - the most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line"! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha...

    [Vizzini stops suddenly, his smile frozen on his face and falls to the ground dead. The Man in Black removes the blindfold from Buttercup's head]

    Man in Black: You all right?

    Buttercup: And to think, all that time it was your cup that was poisoned.

    Man in Black: They were both poisoned. I spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocane powder.
