Review for "Princess Bride"

"The Princess Bride" is a 1987 film, nearly twenty years ago. Of course, it was a little naive to watch now. The reduced background and monsters standard requirement are not satisfied for modern people. Before watching,  I have been psychologically prepared. For almost one hour and half time, the movie showed the traditional fairy tale without any doubts. This is exactly what I expected for this movie. This is not a criticism, I believe this movie would bring huge responses at that time. It is just too old to watch now, after so many years, the movie has faded out and forgotten by audience. But it is not fair to say, because "Princess Bride" still keeps some pure elements of movie. It is really hard to find in this complex modern.
The action is gladiatorial. The actor Cary Elwes is so handsome back then, especially when he was wearing black.  Love is another part I was looking forward to. Like all of the fairy tales, the true love is "I will always come back for you", an old fashioned dialogue, he still can create very warm and deeply feeling. Comedy in "Princess Bride" adds great characteristic for the movie.  Carly Elwes' body language made me really laugh.  Nevertheless, the "Princess Bride" is a very good fairy tale, the basic fairy tale with ethical restrictions, such as good  man can not die, bad guys will not succeed. As a fairy tale, "Princess Bride" is very successful. If you've caught the movie must have a complicated plot, magnificent beauty wheel landscaping, beautiful fancy gimmicks, "The Princess Bride" is really behind the times. Conversely, if you have the heart to see an innocent movie, "The Princess Bride" is a lovely and clear and suitable for all ages.
