In the opening of the movie a
grandfather is coming to read to his sick grandson, the boy is not thrilled
because he is sure that there must be kissing. It starts out slow introducing
the main character, Buttercup, and the farm boy Wesley. The only conversation
Buttercup and Wesley ever engage in is when she asks him to do something and he
replies “as you wish”. But this pattern cannot last forever. How can you not
have a sympathetic heartache for buttercup when she has lost her dearest
Wesley? My mom and I love this movie, when there is not anything good on TV
this is what we watch. I hate to say how many times we have seen it. By the
title this looks like it will be a girly sappy movie (I even thought that at
first), but you cannot judge it by the title. There are vendettas to settle,
secrets within the court, hidden torture chambers,“rodents of unusual size, and the former medicne man to the king.
One of the main characters has spent majority of his life looking for the six
fingered man, “Hello. My name is Indigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare
to die.” Now does that sound like a sappy love movie? I think not! I have also
read the book and recommend that as well. There are many points in the plot
that stray from the movie as expected, I don’t want to give any away because I
know some of you *cough cough Courtney cough* have not seen nor read this
amazing story.
