Day 306 of the challenge! That’s right, I had never seen The Princess Bride. I did it, so please don’t yell at me anymore.
Getting this out there now: There is no possible way for me to be as in love with The Princess Bride as everyone else seems to be. I missed out on this film as a kid, which means I’m also missing the ever important nostalgic hype almost everyone else has for it. Cool then.
So what can I honestly say about this movie that hasn’t already been said before? It be pointless to try and break down anything at this point, so I’ll just cut it short: I think The Princess Bride is a hilarious and simple fairy tale with a fun mix of romance and comedy, and I’m especially glad I can now fully appreciate all the memes and references this pop-culture behemoth has generated over the years.
Also would like to add that The Princess Bride is the perfect palate cleanser movie to watch after a full month of mostly horror movies, ESPECIALLY after Suspiria.
