What genres of movie do you like the most? Fairy tales? Romantic? Comedy? Or adventure? ‘The princess bride’ includes all of these genres. This movie was made in 1987 by Rob Reiner. Rob Reiner is famous for being a great director, actor and also a producer. Don’t you want to know more about the movie? Just follow on.

The movie starts with a little boy, who is sick, listening to grandfather’s story. The story is about a farm boy called Westley and a girl called Buttercup’s true love.

Westley is poor. He had to earn money to marry her. However, the ship he is on gets attacked by Dread Pirate Roberts who is famous for killing all the people on the boat. Buttercup decided not to love anyone after the ship got attacked. But Prince Humperdinck made her marry him. One morning, Butter cup went out for the walk and got kidnapped by Fezzik, Inigo, and Vizzini.

While they were kidnapping her, they saw ‘a man in black’ following them. The man in black tried to save princess Buttercup. He does save her. She wants to see man in black’s face. Surprisingly, it was the boy she loved. Westley. She was so happy to see him because she thought he died because of the pirates. She told the story about her engagement to Prince Humperdinck, and about Prince Humperdinck’s big plan that he was going to kill her.

They both tried to escape from the solders looking for them. However they both got caught and Buttercup went back to the castle and Westley was went to the ‘pit of despair’ where was a place to torture people. The prince was so angry that Buttercup loved Westley more than him. So he killed Westley with electric shock. However, Tessik and Inigo helped him dame back to life and made Westly to fight against the people and get the princess back.

There are a few lessons we can learn from the story. His first lesson is true love can’t be broken. The farm boy, Westly, said “as you wish” all the time when Buttercup wanted something for him to do. “As you wish” is the same as “I love you” for Westly. Second, as usually, almost all the movies have happy endings! watch a short clip about Westly saying as you wish.






In this movie, we can learn leadership too. You will hear the word ‘inconceivable’ a lot in this movie. This means unthinkable. When the leader can’t think what will happen next, the follower would get hurt.

I recommend this movie for a lot of reasons. This movie teaches a lot of life lessons and leaderships. I think this is a good movie for everybody to watch this movie! It is fun~
