This week, to kick off our yearlong partnership with the Rosenbach Museum & Library, researching, reading, and writing fairy tales of our own, we will watch the film The Princess Bride (1987) based on the novel of the same name by William Goldman.
The Princess Bride has something for everyone: sword fights, murder, a six-fingered man, the fire swamp, the cliffs of insanity, the pit of despair, and of course, true love. For this week's blog commentary, I'd like you to respond to the following questions about the movie. Remember to spell check and proofread your comments before posting!
What are your reactions to the movie? Did you enjoy it? Why/why not?
Who was your favorite character?
What was your favorite scene?
What connections can you make between our discussion about common elements of fairy tales and the film?
