    In the film, The Princess Bride, the director Rob Reiner introduced many themes into the plot. A significant theme in the film, The Princess Bride, is ’Intelligence’. Had intelligence not have been a contributing factor to the plot, there would be a completely different outcome at the end. Deception, outwitting, outsmarting, all contribute to how the story ends. An excellent example of this is when Westley and Vizzini had a ’battle of wit’ to win the princess, as Vizzini had kidnapped her

    The Princess Bride isn’t exactly the most manly title for a movie, so when I say that it is one of my favorites, many individuals who have not had the pleasure of viewing it are mistaken in their first impression.

One of the biggest contributors to this adventurous plot is the young swashbuckler Westley. Westley is a daring young
