Westly And Buttercup Character Analysis
Synopsis: Cary Elwes and Robin Wright star as Westly and Buttercup in this original action adventure style film. In this classic fairy tale its love at first sight between Westly and buttercup. But soon after she is forced to marry the evil and corrupt Prince Humperdinck and Westly will have to fight to save her in the name of love.
Review: It would take a while to sum up the princess bride starring Cary Elwes as Westly and Robin Write as Buttercup, but it still serves as an entertaining and humorous movie adaptation, directed by Rob Reiner, of William Goldman’s 1973 novel of the same name.
The story is ingeniously told through narration of a grandfather reading the Princess Bride to his sick grandson. It begins when Westly and Buttercup …show more content…
For example Westly had the most character development, which isn’t saying much considering all we are told is his name and where he disappeared too, which was to join a faction of pirates. But other characters like Buttercup and Prince Humperdinck have no backstory and, although their personalities and traits are gradually revealed as the story progresses, there were very few opportunities to become emotionally attached to these three main characters.
The set design for The Princess Bride is spectacular, as well as some of the environments chosen for the film. Anything from dense dark forests to colossal castles and structures. They all compliment the films fantasy genre. The props and costumes also add to the movies middle ages vibe, like Prince Humperdinck’s royal robes and the peasant’s shaggy clothing.
The princess Bride does have a few weak moments, and lacks development of its characters and their personal storylines as well as poor dialogue choices at times. But overall this a great love story with some moments worthy of an action/adventure. The Medieval setting does support the plot and the characters in many ways such as speech and personalities. This is a film for all ages, and anyone interested in more traditional love
