Princess Bride Critique

I have such a new perspective on this movie. I briefly talked about this with Mr. Miller about how I was literally terrified of this movie when I was  a kid. I remember crying and telling my mom that the princess bride was too scary and she was so surprised. Now I understand why she liked this movie so much. It is not only an action adventure movie but also a comedy and romance story. I loved how the movie was being narrated by the kid's grandfather and we got to pull away from the film and see deeper into that side story. This movie was made in 1987 and some of the scenery and film quality dated it but other than that it's really a timeless family fun adventure. I am glad I got to give this movie another chance, because I would have spent the rest of my life with a bad opinion of it, without this class. A funny connection I had while watching was that the actor playing Westly also plays a character on Psych and plays the evil king in Ella Enchanted. He has a really distinct voice and I automatically recognized him. The Princess Bride is such a funny film and the actors have perfect timing. Sometimes we are quick to judge films and label them and "old" or for "kids" and you forget to give them a chance. I also feel the same way about "classics" I don't think that a person should force them selves to watch a movie or read a book because it is known as a classic. If you don't really appreciate a work of art then faking admiration for it is stupid.
