DocWard Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Why, I just feel sad for anyone who came away from The Princess Bride feeling it ruined anything. Not to take anything away from Second Hand Lions, another great movie. but there were so many life lessons in that movie. Never get involved in a land war in Asia Never trust a man wearing a mask MLTs are the greatest thing in the world, especially when the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato ripe Be wary of someone swordfighting left handed Cowards should live a long life alone with their cowardice and most important of all, If you rush a Miracle Man, you get rotten miracles.

Long before I ever heard of The Princess Bride I learned some life lessons. Never stand when you can sit, never sit when you can lay down. Eat when there's food, sleep when there's time. Always cut the cards. Always bring your own dice. Never eat at a place called Mom's, never gamble with a man called Pops. And most importantly, do not trust redheaded women or left-handed swordsman.

Subdeacon Joe Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 Perhaps "ruined" was a poor choice of word for the subject line. But every time I read the line, "Love, true love" I hear it in That Voice. So does my wife. And often she will quote the whole speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 It is not a chick flick at all. Trust me. It has violence and comedy. Pirates (well, one) and fencing. Torture and an evil prince. Good fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Bob said, not a chick flick. Nor a kids movie. Nor an action adventure. But a bit of all of those rolled into one amazing package. Darn near a morality play. Duty, commitment, honor, loyalty, the inherent weakness of evil. And, of course: "wuve, twoo wuve." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 The most "suspension of disbelief" in the movie. Grandpa said that this was the book his father would read to him when he was sick. The book was written in 1973. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
