He may be older than he was when he played westley, but he will always be the farm boy of my heart. No matter what age.
He's still so very handsome 😍 ❤
He looks like he hasn't aged at all since the Princess Bride.
Eric D. He has aged. But beautifully.
Cary was like 23 when they filmed the movie, and Robin was like 19
Like 5 years at max lmao
That’s a truly iconic scene.
its weird how his accent goes to British and then American at times. Time in America has changed his British accent
He looks great and sounds just as young. What a fantastic film and crew.
So great hearing about the sword fight.
We recreated this sword fight as a parody and entire Princess Bride with kids.
And so it remains the best sword fight of all times,
You're telling me that this man is almost 60??!!!!😱😱😍😍😍😍
I fenced in college. My team had a sword fighting film series to raise money, so I saw a whole bunch of swashbuckling films. By far, my favorite - as a fencer - was Scaramouche. The fencing in that is beautiful. It turns out the guys who put this together thought the same thing, because Scaramouche was the scene they wanted to better, and they did produce the best duel on film, which it might very well have been one-handed, but they did it two, which is insane.
As you wish.
At the time it was the longest sword fight on film. Maybe it still is.
They practiced, then they showed it to Reiner one day when they were up to speed. Reiner said great, but it's too short. Make it longer. So they looked up the longest fencing scene, and made their scene longer.
Elwes and Patinkin did the whole thing themselves. No stuntmen except for the one flip in the air. All the sword work was the actors.
Also, all the schools of fencing that they mention during the fight are/were real schools of fencing.
As far as I know, Revenge of the Sith's final duel is longer, and it was the longest in film history at the time, but that was almost 20 years ago, so something even longer could've come along.
@@jaffarebellion292Yeah but the Revenge of the Sith fight was so much flashier and stupid compared to the Inigio vs Westley fight.
@@kingzach74 I mean, when the swords literally glow, flashiness is kind of a given.
Also, while there were some dumb exchanges, the fight was mostly solid from a choreography standpoint. Shadiversity has a fantastic breakdown where he goes frame by frame, and most of the strikes make sense given the intent of the combatants. Obi-Wan is fighting primarily defensively, while Anakin is mostly going for killshots. Both have good footwork, solid guards, and make precise attacks. It's a good fight.
@@kingzach74 That fight is brilliant and you think otherwise that is your failing.
Is it just me or would this guy make a great joker
Nope
Better than Jared Leto at least
There are some nasal tones when he talks that sound a bit like Heath Ledger's joker, so that's probably why haha
Anyone can play the Joker. It's the easiest part in movie history.
Bob Anderson also did lord of the rings sword fight choreography and training.
A goddamn legend.
in other interviews he mentions how the fight had to be considerably lengthened per Reiner and ......he had to finish some of his training with a broken toe I think it was. THAT is a story all unto itself. I recommend getting his book As you Wish if you want some funny behind the scenes stories.
I was 4 when I saw this and I've always thought of Mi king this best sword fight
Still, the most beautiful man on the face of the earth. ❤

This man......
*This man is mastering Hamon*
*He's mastering the Ripple!*
I get the feeling, as I am listening to carey's audio book about making the movie, that this movie was so impactfull that forany of them it's a full time job still... Having been in that movie. It consumed everything they do and every step they take in the public. And most importantly... They love it still
That's what happens when you make something iconic.
All in all good insights a lovely sword fighting 🎍🎍🎍🎍🎍🎍✨
A cruise just listening to Cary what an amazing submarine🚸
can we talk about the sword fight in robin hood. like that was fricking awsome
The Flynn-Rathbone duel?
That film is the only adventure film higher on my list than the Princess Bride.
They did indeed get it.
Really. It is good to be true to your work sea above. That's what we need a David kingdom swords into the left then the right, yes a little edge grade base.
Am I the only one who feels like he’d make a great joker?
Swords and plowshares bend o'er the seas but Elders.loving Cary a little edge on that mountain alter church steeple
Friday 23rd August 2024. I love The Princess Bride. Robin Wright and Cary Elwes were wonderful as Buttercup and Westley. I hope they are both OK. Anyway, best of luck to all of you! From Virginia Clark.?! ;) :( :) 😃🐴🐎🫏🦌
Is he british or not
I'm confused too. I think he lost his accent
He has definitely lost his accent.
If you listen closely you can still hear it a little bit. Only a few of his words. I met him last month, it's still there but very little.
I heard him on an Australian interview recently and he spoke RP English with only a hint of American. Perhaps he just alternates depending on where the interview takes place.
@@Hannahxx1971 Link, please!
That's my Robinhood!
Chasing after every last thing.hop to the stop 🚳
Published scenes. Wow pop 🎍🎍🎍🎀
Pure 🍯. Gold bounty looking at the coming of chivalry. I want a Glee too
I saw "Saw" in 2004, and i saw it now and i'm here only because i want to see Cary Elwes how he looks like now, that's all :)...Saw 1 (2004)...Saw 8 (2017). An other horror movie that i like is Split (2017), but this time the hero incarnate a person with a really bad and dangerous illness that exists in our world but many of us don't know about (psychiatry). That illness or disorder has degrees, and "Split" relates the "24" case -if i remember well- which is the highest. You can see on TH-cam the real face of the man who is sick by this "24"(....). To know the meaning of this "24" read the synopsis of the movie. Bear in mind that reading only the synopsis may harm some people psychologically and emotionally!. If you like true history, watch "Valkyrie", a great movie. In a nutshell, some of the great commanders in Hitler's army tried to kill Hitler during World War II. If you like robotics and visual effects watch "Pacific Rim" (both are good but the first one is the best). If you like electronics, read this book "electronic principles" by Albert Paul Malvino (there are many editions, i have the 5th edition in my home)
Tripper was a cup so was the fool in the rain when Robin fled the loof.🛄🛅

What’s happening to his Cary’s accent? Seems like he’s losing it haha 😂😂
I wonder if he has kept up the sport.
Yes. He was handsome. But I’d still choose Inigo Montoya any day of the week.😁
What else should we wait for teams of fans wanting more entertainer in you all wishes claws 🎇🎈🎶
