    How do fairytale relationships differ from reality?
    Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are taking a look at Westley and Buttercup’s relationship from The Princess Bride. Besides geeking out about a childhood classic, they talk about the difference between fairytale and real-life relationships and what pointers Jonathan would give to Westley and Buttercup if they existed outside of a fairy tale. Alan shares why The Princess Bride is so beloved to this today. Hint: it’s a perfect movie!

      BetterHelp settled for paying out $7.8 million dollars after being caught selling data about its patients to Facebook, Snapchat, Pinterest, and Criteo. This included therapy bookings, time spent in therapy, and patients' locations. They also underpay their therapists compared to the industry standard (for instance, by imposing maximum word limits and then not paying when they are exceeded - without explaining the reasoning behind the word limits).
      I love you guys, but I wish you didn't accept sponsorships from BetterHelp. Even if they've stopped these practices, they're the kind of business that would do them if they could get away with it, as evidenced by the fact that they have.

    Interesting fact: Mandy (who plays Inigo) states that the ending scene where he kills the Count helped heal him. His father had died of cancer and he said when he fought and killed the Count, he imagined he was fighting the cancer. That whole scene was him confronting cancer, "killing" it, and coming to terms with his father's death. That's why that scene is so powerful, emotional, and iconic. The audience felt his struggle and relief.

    I actually got to meet Cary Elwes the other day at an event, and he was the nicest guy. Recognized that I froze when it was my turn to get pictures taken with him, and rather than being rude or crass about it, he got down to my level (i'm in a wheelchair, and significantly shorter than other people) and used a quiet voice to try and calm me down and say it was ok. Even talked to me for a little bit. He really didn't have to be that accommodating, but I very much appreciated it. I'll never forget it. Every bit as charming in real life as he is in the movie

    • @RoninXDarknight

      @@helenl3193 You're making a lot of assumptions there. Westley didn't just F off for 5 years and let Buttercup think he was dead. He was gone for 5 years without any way of safely making contact with her.
      3 of those years were spent as a prisoner of sorts on Robert's Ship with presumably no way of even attempting to make contact. At that point he was told about the Robert's persona and the title was transferred to him. We have absolutely no idea where Westley was in relation to Buttercup when that transfer happened but if you know anything about sea voyages on the types of ships we see in this story you would know that a voyage taking 2 years isn't unusual, let alone out of the realm of possibility.
      That aside, when he finally had his freedom he was now a notorious pirate captain with a pirate crew to contend with. He couldn't just beeline it home as that would have gotten himself and/or Buttercup killed and any careless communication might have ended in the same result. He had to first build trust with his crew by playing the part of a great pirate captain so that they wouldn't think much about him going off on his own for a while for whatever reason which isn't something he could have rushed.

    The Princess Bride is how I knew that my husband was "the one". Early on, I asked him what his favorite movie was, and he said "The Princess Bride", and I basically accused him of lying. To prove it, he sent me a picture of 20th anniversary edition DVD that he had in his possession, and then later that week he brought it over and he quoted pretty much the whole thing while we watched it. This is THE BEST movie ever.

    I’ve always thought of Cary Elwes saying in interviews that it’s not often that an actor is involved in a film and they know that that’s what they’ll be remembered as forever. I remember him saying something along the lines of, “when I pass away, people will say, ‘Westley died.’ I’ll probably have ‘mostly dead’ on my gravestone.” That’s crazy.

    This is my family’s comfort movie. Whenever one of us is in the hospital, one of us will show up to read this book to make the hospitalized party cheer up. Shortly after my parents divorced my mom ended up hospitalized. I was out of town but she still woke up to find my dad sitting next to her with the Princess Bride. She was so confused, saying that they were divorced now. And he just told her that they were still family. It gave me a lot of comfort to know that despite the problems that led to their divorce they still loved each other as family and would still support and care for each other. I feel extremely lucky for the care and consideration my parents have for each other and the Princess Bride will always remind me of that fact.

    A nice little story that actually happened when I was working as a horse trainer. There was this beautiful and talented gelding that I was training for his owner to sell. He was the most willing and amazing partner to work with. Incredible athletic talent and a heart of gold. He always wanted to do everything that was asked of him. A teenage girl ended up buying him, and she was amazed by how willing he was to do anything she asked. She ended up changing his barn name to Wesley, and his show name was, of course, "As You Wish".

    I'm so happy this movie was covered. It's one of my personal favorites because the dialogue is funny as hell, Cary and Robin are REALLY fine, and the lead characters were actually likeable (mainly Buttercup and Westley). I remember reading the book a long time ago (there was a book first) and the parody of the fairytale is SO MUCH STRONGER. Buttercup is...I'll cut to the chase, she wasn't smart. Westley had to spell things out for her and often was annoyed when she wasn't picking up on things. He only "loved her" for her looks and not her personality. Same goes for Buttercup. She never glanced Westley's way until she saw the Countess (only found in the book) staring at Westley, checking him out, and realized that she was jealous (took an entire evening for her to realize that). In the movie, Buttercup is a lot more faster on picking things up. I always thought that she didn't pick up on the fact that Westley was actually Dread Pirate Roberts because she wasn't used to that particular tone. Westley at the beginning spoke to her in a more soft manner, so a much more aggressive tone would throw her off.

He saw one RIGHT THERE." And it explained so much about my dad (he's pretty restrained emotionally... Several problems between us there) especially when I said, "But BUTTERCUP hadn't seen it, so he was trying to keep her calm. Because he loves her. And knows that if she panicked, it would only make their situation worse." My dad stood there blank-faced at me like, "Yeah, no, still don't get it."

    In the book, _The Princess Bride_ was the recollection of a story told to a now-adult-author by his father when he was sick. The author loved this story, told everyone he loved this story, and people would read it and be confused why he loved it so much. Turns out, the book he was being read from, a book with the title _The Princess Bride_ that he could find, that he could hold, did not have the story he remembered being read. It was a history book. His father made it all up on the spot. So, since the book wasn't his favorite story, he went ahead and wrote the story to rectify this. Grandpa reading a book to his sick grandson reflects this premise. Even when it wouldn't technically be required for the movie to function, it would have been sorely missed to readers to not have this dynamic somehow in the movie. It is one of the best adaptations.

Remember, Wesley fought giant animals and overthrew a kingdom for Buttercup. Hence, the narrator despite the different dynamic, shows that he places the same value on his grandson, which tells us everything we need to know about their relationship.

  • @Skye_Writer
    @Skye_Writer 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +132

    I disagree that Wesley kidnaps and then continuously insults Buttercup as some kind of test to see if she still loves him. He is clearly ANGRY to find out that he fought his way back to her after enduring three years of mental torment, being told every night by his captor every night, "I'll most likely kill you in the morning," only to find out she is engaged to a prince. He STILL loves her, so when he finds out she is in danger, of course he feels a NEED to save her, maybe even to return her to Humperdinck (notice that his first instinct when he sees the riders on top of the ridge isn't to run away; in fact, they don't run from the royal hunting party until Wesley has revealed himself to Buttercup). So his love for her overrules his anger far enough to make him want to save her.
    BUT, he's mad at her deep down for not waiting for him. And the longer he looks at her in bright silk riding habit, so different from the earthtone homespuns she used to wear, the more he remembers the anger. THAT is why in the previous hillside scene to the one you showed, he scoffs at the worth of "the promise of a woman," and when Buttercup yells at him that she has "loved more deeply than a killer like yourself could ever DREAM," he does the foulest thing of all, which is to raise his hand to strike her. Even though he doesn't follow through, to me that is Wesley's most egregious action in the entire movie, and the only one that makes me mad at him. But his next line is very telling when he says to her that he's giving her a warning that next time he will follow through because "Where I come from there are penalties when a woman lies."
    He's not testing her to see if she still loves him; he believes that she never did, not truly. Because if it had been _true_ love for her, she would not have engaged herself to Humperdinck.
    He is all kinds of WRONG, of course, and he has no idea what she has been through these last 5 years, assuming it was very easy on her. ALL KINDS of wrong. But that is the reason he is, as Buttercup tells him, "cruel to her." He isn't testing to see if she loves him; he believes she never really did.

      But no, she promised that she would never doubt again and this time Westley displays complete trust and faith in her that she didn't, even when she isn't so sure herself.

That was enough for him to know she did in fact still love him and grieved his death. I think it REALLY went away after she tumbled down after him when she pushed him saying "You can die too for all I care!" and he responded with "As you wish!" It showed her devotion to him and that when the opportunity arises, she'll always chose him.

    In the beginning, they're like children with crushes. But after they were separated, they become full characters, through devastation and loss on Buttercup's side, and hardship, survival, and precieved betrayal on Westley's. How they reconnect, understand each other, and prevail is part of what adds depth to the comedy and charm of the movie.

    The gimmick is that it's an "abridged" version, being the version the author remembers being read to him by his father as a child. But in reality, the "original" story doesn't exist.

      In catholic marriage too: the spouses have to literally "pronounce the vows" for it to be legal, at least according to the Cathechism: . In the Latin Rite, even the benediction of the priest is not mandatory, since the spouses are the real celebrants of the sacrament, the priest being just there to represent the Church (both the institution with its law, and the community of the faithful) the spouses are marrying into.
      "1626 The Church holds the exchange of consent between the spouses to be the indispensable element that "makes the marriage."127 If consent is lacking there is no marriage.
      1627 The consent consists in a "human act by which the partners mutually give themselves to each other": "I take you to be my wife" - "I take you to be my husband."128 This consent that binds the spouses to each other finds its fulfillment in the two "becoming one flesh."129
      1628 The consent must be an act of the will of each of the contracting parties, free of coercion or grave external fear.130 No human power can substitute for this consent.131 If this freedom is lacking the marriage is invalid.
      1629 For this reason (or for other reasons that render the marriage null and void) the Church, after an examination of the situation by the competent ecclesiastical tribunal, can declare the nullity of a marriage, i.e., that the marriage never existed.132 In this case the contracting parties are free to marry, provided the natural obligations of a previous union are discharged.133
      1630 The priest (or deacon) who assists at the celebration of a marriage receives the consent of the spouses in the name of the Church and gives the blessing of the Church. The presence of the Church's minister (and also of the witnesses) visibly expresses the fact that marriage is an ecclesial reality.
      1631 This is the reason why the Church normally requires that the faithful contract marriage according to the ecclesiastical form. Several reasons converge to explain this requirement:134
      - Sacramental marriage is a liturgical act. It is therefore appropriate that it should be celebrated in the public liturgy of the Church;
      - Marriage introduces one into an ecclesial order, and creates rights and duties in the Church between the spouses and towards their children;
      - Since marriage is a state of life in the Church, certainty about it is necessary (hence the obligation to have witnesses);
      - The public character of the consent protects the "I do" once given and helps the spouses remain faithful to it."
      So actually Westley is right, at least for the Catholic Church. Moreover, Buttercup's marriage is invalid also because her consent wasn't free and the marriage has been coerced on her. So she's not really married, for the Catholic CHurch.

      That’s a good point. It’s not really surprising that Prince Humperdinck would have a flawed understanding of the necessary parts of the liturgy. Whether or not the priest declares the couple married is actually irrelevant. Do they consent to each other as spouses?

    The amazing thing about this movie, the way it's written, you can literally excuse any flaws in the plot, characters, logic, etc. as a flaw of the original story that the grandpa is reading, and what we're seeing is just that story, warts and all, now also being filtered through the kid's mind. So even its flaws become part of the charm of the conceit. It's basically critic-proof. Ingenious.

    I love all of this movie to bits, but the greatest scene in the entire movie has nothing to do with the fairytale narrative.
    Hands down, the best scene is when the grandson tells his grandfather that it would be okay if he comes back and reads the book again tomorrow, and the only words the grandfather says are, "As you wish." I choke up every. single. time.

    Out of 100 years of movies that I've been shown over my 50years THIS is my favorite movie. I was 14 when I saw this in the theatres - my dad won tickets to the premiere and I left in love with a new blue eyed blonde boy (first was another blue eyed poet, Simon le Bon) that really did set my standard for dating for decades, lol. This movie has everything and is THE perfect family movie, or a date movie. 40 years later and this movie still holds up. The way is was shot hasn't aged it in any way; the effects still hold up. Thanks for agreeing that this is the perfect fairy tale; when I saw you were therapizing Wesley and Buttercup my heart got stuck in my throat for a sec; I was unsure if you'd trash the movie or not. Should have kept the faith that you'd see this movie for all it's glory.

One is Curtis in Porco Rosso, the other is Baron in Whisper of the Heart and the Cat Returns. Growing up as a sheltered kid I never heard of the Princess Bride until I was in late high school. Starting around 12 I was obsessed with the Cat Returns and was a beta editor for one of the more prolific writers in the community on fanfiction,net. She wrote one fic that was like a mashup of Princess Bride and the Cat Returns, so I borrowed the dvd from my library and fell in love with it. Thanks to that writer I got to discover so many amazing stories and pieces of art, I'm still really thankful for her

    You have to give consent to get married (which is why you can't get married younger than whatever a state's "age of consent" is) -- the officiator doesn't marry you, you marry each other, and he/she officiates. So Westley is right. Buttercup never got married. That said, you made a great point about forgiveness in general.

    Not a lawyer, but when we researched our wedding ceremony, I learned that a legal wedding ceremony (in our jurisdiction) must have three things or it "didn't happen": a statement of intent/consent ("I do"), a chance for people to object ("speak now or forever hold your peace"), and a pronouncement that the ceremony is complete and the parties are now married. Of course, this all needs to be witnessed and paperwork filled out.
    I'm given to understand that the details vary by state, but if you have some ceremony that doesn't meet those criteria, it's not - legally speaking - a wedding.

      The objections are for material reasons, not someone walking in and declaring their love like many movies. A real objection would be for someone to reveal that the bride and groom are related and don't know it, or one of them is still legally married to someone else, or one of them is legally dead. In the modern day, it would be pretty difficult for the couple to make it all the way to the ceremony without being told sooner, but it's plausible.
      My understanding is that all marriages must also be consummated, and while not a part of the marriage proceedings per se, if it isn't that is ground for an annulment (where the marriage never legally existed) as opposed to a divorce (where the marriage is now legally terminated). The ability to understand and actually enter the marriage contract (or have your parents do it for you if they're dumb) is also required. For instance, a marriage is binding if your drunk off you nut but have been planning it for months, but not if you just roll into town, get smashed, and marry someone you just met.

    Also, I think part of what made this movie aside from the perfect scrip/strong performances is that everyone seems like they are having a REALLY GOOD TIME making it. Sometimes that shines through, particularly if a movie has elements or aspects that are silly. The more joy the actors feel they more they can imbue in the final product. That just seems to be present in every shot of this film.

    My partner and I were discussing this movie on the subway the other day. He had said something to which I replied “...only mostly dead”.
    The quote sparked a conversation about the movie, and how we felt back when it came out. See, my grandma had gotten it for my brother and I when we were kids and we put it on our of curiosity. My grandma way the type of person who always ALWAYS bought kids books so we assumed it would be a “boring” movie no one cares about. So when we watched it and absolutely LOVED it, we were surprised. I don't know about him, but I ended up growing up thinking that no one else really knew about it. So you can imagine my surprise when I'm my 20's I was at a convention and there was an entire room full of people watching it! They all knew the same quotes I did and we all laughed together at the funny parts. I couldn't believe so many people had also watched this little gem in the rough!
    Back to the other day, I come to find that my partner has the same assumption growing up. He couldn't remember when he first watched it, but he too was surprised at how much of a classic it had become. When I said I was so glad that I knew of its amazingness from the start, he said “It's a cult classic, you were just part of that cult.”

    12:31 - To be fair, he's playing the role of the Dread Pirate, he has a reputation to uphold(and he was emotionally upset feeling very jealous/betrayed thinking she had just moved on and forgotten about him and fallen for someone else or worse maybe even just used him as a passing fling/diverting entertainment/ or something all along and never really loved him and possibly not thinking especially clearly or rationally)-it's not as if he, as himself, just cornered her and demanded answers nor did he take on this facade exclusively just to extract answers from her. He took the mask initially to survive(he was legitimately held hostage for I forget if we know exactly how long), and ultimately eventually it did become an actual part of him(as he trained to replace the previous Dread Pirate and then legit took over as the Dread Pirate himself), and then he used it to come and rescue/liberate her. Those are extenuating circumstances most relationships don't have. And I would say her pushing him down a steep cliff to his possible death kinda made her and him even for his treatment of her before that, so it's not as if what he was doing actually had literally zero negative consequences. And then they literally kiss and make up, which could be seen as a metaphorical representation of figuratively making up in other ways. And it's not as if - after their initial joy at reuniting and realizing they did indeed genuinely care for each other and care about what happened to each other - they didn't also talk about what had happened to him while he was gone....because they do. At least, if I'm remembering everything correctly. Or maybe that's just my brain, thinking weird, idk.

    This is still my favorite movie of all time! Grandpa's description of the story perfectly describes the movie. I read the actual Princess Bride book, and the movie is way better. I watched this movie to treat myself after every midterm or final exam in college. I watched it whenever I was sick or feeling sad.
    One of my college roommates did fencing in high school, and she told me that, in her opinion, The Princess Bride is one of the very few movies that portray fencing moves correctly.
    I recently learned that Rob Reiner (the director) had to leave the set while filming the Miracle Max scene with Billy Crystal and Carol Kane because Reiner was laughing so hard that it ruined takes.
    Also, in the film, when they shot the duel scene where Inigo Montoya (played by Mandy Patinkin) fights Count Rugen, Patinkin thought of his father, who died of cancer. When Inigo says, “I want my father back, you son of a b****,” Patinkin said that confronting and killing the six-fingered man felt like facing the cancer that killed his father. 🥺
    Cary Elwes wrote a book called "As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride." I have yet to read it, but it has been on my TBR for a long time.

      Do it. It's worth it. And if you can, get the audiobook (try the public library). Elwes, Reiner, Wright, and other members of the cast and crew narrate their memories of the process. It's funny and moving, just like the movie.

    The Princess Bride is one of my favorite movies ever. Initially, its theatrical release was considered a flop because the studio didn’t know how to market it. Was it a romance, a comedy, a fairytale, a swashbuckler, a revenge story? The answer is “all of the above”, but I think they could have succeeded if they had simply marketed it as a family-friendly comedy. Glad its popularity grew after its VHS release.

    I was in grade school when this came out; I was on a hero kick and would spend recess ‘defending’ kids who were bullied. Once, I used Fezzik’s opening dialogue before he fought Westley. Super influential movie for me.

      But the point is, now she knows he will always come for her, so she thinks she's both ensuring their safety in the short-term and buying them time for him to regroup and come get her again. She can't just stand there and watch him die, but she doesn't say goodbye to him just explains why she undermined his big defiant 'last stand' moment.

      @@moviemelody2210 I wouldn't exactly agree with you. She states several times while still with Humperdinck "Westley will come for me." and he replies with "Of course." Humperdinck consistently humors her until she pushes him too far and he locks her in her room. The marriage got rushed so Humperdinck could start the war that he always wanted to have. In fact, immediately after her nightmare, she rushes into Humperdinck's office (?) and says "I love Westley. I always have, and I now know that I always will."

    Princess Bride is one of the best films I would never have chosen. It takes you by surprise at every turn. And it has fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes. Miracles. And true love.
