There are many words that one could use to describe The Princess Bride – nostalgic, transcendent, beautiful, etc. It’s a film that actually appeals to all age groups, the screenplay is written by William Goldman, which is based on his nook. It tells the story of a princess and her true love, and how they must battle the forces that threaten their happily-ever-after ending. It’s a masterpiece that you’re bound to enjoy, whether you’re watching it for the first time or whether you’ve already seen it before.

The film is not only effective as a fairytale; it’s also a tribute of sorts to fairytales. And that is perhaps the real beauty of the film. There are many memorable quotes, and you are sure to be taken it by the stunningly gorgeous Robin Wright, who is engaged to Chris Sarandon. But she does not love him, she wants the farm boy played by Cary Elwes, who is presumed dead, but of course throughout the movie, you find yourself hoping that he will return to her.

The story gets a little hilarious at times, but it’s all part of the charm. Don’t dismiss it as a suspension-of-disbelief movie, because it really is much more than that. There are great acts of love and heroism, and the film works well as satire too. With this movie, you never know what will come next, and this is perhaps the best part of the film. It’s rich, magnificent, and gives a tribute to folklore that is much needed in today’s modern ages.
