The Princess Bride

The film "The Princess Bride" reminds me of the movie "Big Fish" we watched in class. The use of story to convey a message beyond the exterior is prevalent in both movies. The use of fantasy scene design and special effects convey a mysterious story that tells the tale of real life actions via the subconscious. Tales are a method of escape from the bonds of reality. The story The Princess Bride gives the child a path of escape from his bedridden state. The story allows the grandfather and grandson to connect on the same level despite their age differences. The generational gap is nothing compared to the power of a story.
