    Took me many years of watching this movie as my comfort food before I realized that the pirate ship is named Revenge so Indigo will still be "in the revenge business". 😊

      There really was a dread pirate Roberts--Bart Roberts. He only had a short reign in the Caribbean, but for a few years he was absolutely terrifying. Probably because he refused to allow rum on his ship, so his crew was sober and focused, as well as angry at not getting to booze it up. However, as an Englishman, he drank huge amounts of tea.

    One of the most quotable films of the last 50 years, but also so warmhearted and hilarious. A true classic.
    So many great behind the scenes stories, from Andre’s struggles with his health (back pain etc), to Mandy Patinkin channeling his grief over his father’s recent death from cancer (You’ll notice when he kills Count Rugen he says “I want my father back, you son of a bitch” and he loses the Spanish accent of his character - in that moment he was pretending that Rugen represented the cancer that took his own father from him, and so lost in the moment he spoke in his own voice instead of Inigo’s)
    Enjoyed your reaction, Sir!

    Christopher Guest, who plays the six-fingered count, is in real life a baron who would like to see the House of Lords become a democratically elected body. He is the writer-director of improv-based movies like _Best in Show._ He's married to Jaime Lee Curtis. He does not have six fingers on either hand.

    Rob Reiner has many excellent films he's directed including "This is Spinal Tap", "Stand By Me", Misery" and "A Few Good Men". Carey Elwes, the actor who plays Westley, also played Robin Hood in Mel Brooks' movie "Robin Hood: Men in Tights". All are great movies and worth watching.

      I think that Mr. Valentine would love Spinal Tap the most...and I think he would love all of Christopher Guest's later mockumentaries. Personally, I love Best in Show, A Mighty Wind and For Your Consideration the best...in that order...but maybe Mr. Valentine will like Waiting for Guffman the most...he may as well watch them all in order.

    Recognition also for those who supply the words! William Goldman expertly adapted his own novel (which pretends to be an abridged & annotated edition of an old book, The Princess Bride, by S. Morgenstern -- the movie of course needed a different framework). Look up Goldman's body of work too; his many screenplays include some you probably already know & like, like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

    I'm so glad you enjoyed this, it's one of my comfort movies. Rob Reiner is so good with witty dialogue and adding heart to his films. When Harry Met Sally is my favorite RomCom of all time. Followed closely by Sleepless In Seattle, another Rob Reiner delight. He also directed Misery if you want to see how he handles a thriller.

  • @frogofbrass382
    @frogofbrass382 Місяць тому +1

    When Mandy Patinkin was battling the six fingered man, he was imagining he was battling the cancer that took his father's life. Thus, the real emotion behind the line, "I want my father back, you son of a b-----."

    You keep using these words...I think that they mean exactly what you think they mean...the exact opposite of Vizzini!
    OK...I will show myself out...don't put me on The Machine for that joke. 😜😂
    Aw darn...you cut off that line! 😢
    Oh...but Inigo does not have an axe to grind...I am almost positive it is a sword...he was quite specific, I thought. LOL

    It's amazing how Rob Reiner can take a story that's silly, filled with cliches, and predictable... and turn it into something which is captivating and doesn't result in constant eye rolls by the audience. Between his storytelling, and the quality of the performers he works with, there's always an emotional connection with the characters and their circumstances. He's a very humanistic director.

    If you enjoy this movie, I strongly recommend listening to the audiobook "As You Wish." It is a narrative history of the making of the film and was written by Cary Elwes who does the reading of the audiobook. It includes interviews with many of the cast and crew, several of whom read their own quotes from the book.

  • @goombah1970

    If you want another side from Rob Reiner, I would suggest MISERY (1990). It’s a wonderful, gripping thriller with just enough humor to take the edge off the intense, claustrophobic dread.

    An absolute classic! Btw, from what I know, Andre was not in fact strong enough to carry those people up the cliff - I believe he was rather weak at this point - and they used a pulley system, I think…? Also, based on the length of previous reactions of yours, I’m assuming copyright kicked your butt a bit and I’m sorry for that, especially for how rich this film is. Anyhow, great reaction! Eloquent as always!

    Montoya is my favorite. Mandy Patinkin is an accomplished musical theatre actor. He played French artist George Seurat. His magnum opus was full of men in top hats and women in bonnets. Check out Mandy singing Finishing the Hat. It’s about the painter’s creative process. George is constantly working and his fed up girlfriend has left him. At the beginning of the song he is working on sketches for his painting. ua-cam.com/video/4Uf-PikY4mQ/v-deo.htmlsi=SZH4LOC1NPW4i4d6
