The final scene was with Rob Reiner playing the grandson and his father Carl Reiner playing the grandfather. When he said "as you wish" it turned out to be the last words he said to Rob because he passed away a few days later.

    12:30 “Oh no, she’s on fire!” Fun fact, that’s exactly what William Goldman, the author of the book, said when Buttercup’s dress caught on fire! It was the first take (and yes, they did it practically), and Goldman was on set, but in the moment he forgot that her dress was supposed to catch fire because it was in the book (which he wrote), so he started screaming and ruined the take, so they had to do it over.

    This is exactly what I'm looking for in a reaction video: Actual, simple, genuine in-the-moment reactions to the content of the movie. This is perfect. It gets so tiresome checking out new react channels just to find that they spend the whole movie constantly talking, asking questions that the movie will answer if they wait for 5 seconds, constantly trying to out think the movie instead of enjoying it.

      Nailed it. The worst reactors are the ones that build a big following and then get giant swollen egos. They start to think people are there to see their "comedy". They think that anything they are saying is much more poignant and witty than anything the film's writers or directors were trying to say. It becomes their goal to talk over dialogue and make up "punchlines" for every scene. There's a few reactors I used to really like, and over the course of a couple years, they became utterly unwatchable.

    Andre the Giant was really proud of this movie. The woman who played Buttercup, I always forget her name, said that he was incredibly sweet. She said one day when they had a break from shooting, the crew went horseback riding and got caught in freezing rain. She says Andre noticed her shivering and casually rested his hand on her head like a hat. She said it both warmed her up and kept the rain off surprisingly well but more than that, it made her feel safe.

      I read the same thing. Throughout his wrestling career, he was always treated like an oddity, and he always felt like he had to be the “life of the party”, buying drinks for everyone at the bar, to get people to like him. I have read that, on the movie set was the only place he felt comfortable because everyone respected him and treated him like a friend. It sounds like he really had a tragic life. I’m glad there was some place he could find a little peace.

    One of the reasons Buttercup didn’t recognize Westley is that…Westley had been dead for five years. If you lose a loved one, and mourn them, and five years later you meet a person who looks and acts just like them, your most likely response would be…huh, this complete stranger acts just like my dead loved one. That’s kinda creepy. Ew. Ok, I’m going to stop looking for further similarities now, before I dredge up old wounds and spend the next three weeks crying.

    There was an alternate ending filmed, where the boy picks up the book and started reading after his grandpa left. Then he hears a noise outside his window, and sees the four characters on horseback, beckoning him to join them on more adventures. (In other words, reading is fun.)
    Director Rob Reiner chose not to use it, because he didn't want audiences to confuse the fantasy world with the fantasy world. So he used the ending we saw here (because, according to the start of the story, "as you wish" means "I love you"), but it seems that a lot of people still misunderstood, thinking it meant that the grandpa was Westley. He was not.

Including attributing the "You're reading it wrong!" part to himself, and in the story of the book, his dad just stops reading that night and he doesn't hear the dream justification until the next day.

    You may recognize Westley as The Man in Black, but the grandson, having only the words read to him, has only his imagination to "fill in the blanks," or to take a guess. Works the same way for all the characters -- they're in a fantasy world and have no concept of who the others are! Grandpa's "As you wish" at the very end does NOT mean he's Westley/FarmBoy; it means Grandfather is a very caring family member and favors his grandson!

    My favorite tidbit I've read is that the movie had been shot except for the Grandpa/Grandson scenes. Andre went to the set just so Fred could meet him and answered all his wrestling questions. Andre sent him a Christmas card every year until he passed and he looked forward to it the most.

    André the Giant didn't know how to speak English, in this movie, he just did it phonetically. As you've seen in this movie, it's a film about love. It was filmed in a very cold time of year, in Eastern Europe. THe access who played Buttercup got very, very cold. André used to rest his massive hand on her head, to keep her warm. He didn't have a good life, it was wracked with pain and alcoholism but this movie was something he saw as the time in his life where he loved and was loved. I don't think he knew the relivence of, "As you wish." but in year to come, it was the line in the movie that was most about him.

    A perfectly blended movie; of Fantasy, Love, and Comedy. Fun Facts - Andre was particularly proud of the film, and would often discuss the filming of it ad-nauseum to his fellow wrestlers for hours, much to their annoyance and boredom. I can't remember if it was the Director or one of the Writers who recently stated that the ending was suppose to allude to the Grandad being a descendent of the Dread Pirate Roberts. The film was based on a book, and was to have the heroes fight in a ménage of exotic animals, but the budget could not stretch to it, so it was cut.
