The Princess Bride is a book within a book that was adapted into a book within a movie that garnered most of its success on home video. Now it’s time for us to read between the lines to find the differences between the book and the film. Subscribe: http://goo.gl/9AGRm The Princess Bride is a romantic comedy about lost love, revenge, torture, kidnapping, desire, and much more. Farmhand Westley falls in love with the beautiful Buttercup, but before they can be together forever they must endure many trials. The book and film have many similarities, both dealing with long lost lovers being reunited only to be pulled apart again and then finding their way back into each other’s arms, but many of the characters in the film look significantly different than their book counterparts, plus Buttercup is not nearly as dimwitted in the movie. At that, it’s time pull back the proverbial shower curtain on all the differences between the book and the film. Have you read The Princess Bride? Are you a fan of the film?

Urg, I accidently purchased the unabridged for my mother years ago. She still has not forgiven me over that.
-
Personally, I loved both. Read the book in the mid-eighties, wondering when it would finally be made a film. Reiner did beautifully and (to me) none of these differences change my opinion. Both were outstanding. One only has to remember that they are virtually different takes on the same tale.
(As an aside, it should be mentioned somewhere that "floren" and "guilder" are both forms of currency. Something that Goldman snuck by nearly everyone) -
ya'll forgot to mention that Inigo introduces himself and his status as a wizard of swordsmanship to every single opponent who faces him to maintain his honor (including to the bats)
-
"Kids aren't grownups so they don't know how cool kissing is yet" is something parents should bear in mind.
-
Or both watch the movie AND read the book. Me. I never did either. Shame!
-
The book was infinitely better! This video was amazing
-
Here are some suggestions for books and their film versions you could do: Misery by Stephen King, The Prestige by Christopher Priest, and Dan Brown's books (The Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons, and Inferno).
-
You guys don't seem to get the joke of the book. It's one big practical joke - The alleged unabridged novel is not part of the plot, it's a fake backstory Goldman uses to explain how he wrote the present book (Along with other fake asides, like his son, who doesn't really exist). Goldman is literally trolling the reader!
-
3:58 sooo... in the book Vizzini is a Ukrainian?
-
please do The Lord Of The Rings as a WTD :)
-
One of my favorite books and my favorite movie.
-
I love both the book and the film, and treat them as the different entities they are. If you haven't read the book, I hope you will -- it's so much fun and very charming.
-
Having read the book once and seen the movie many times, I think I am qualified to assess this comparison. And my pronouncement is ...
Great job, guys!
Good points, and good humor.
One disagreement: At 10:00 you say, "In the movie it only takes the one dream."
Not so. The grandfather, as reader/narrator says, "Buttercup's nightmares were growing steadily worse." So in the movie as in the book, she has multiple dreams before she declares to Humperdinck that she will always love Wesley. -
FINALLY get around to readying the novel? It's a super easy read and it's amazing. You can find it in most libraries and a supersizing number of Goodwills. Get on that shit.
-
When she falls down the hill, it gets me every time
-
Not to be that one dick who needs everything to be perfect but you forgot to put in the part where in the book Inigo cuts out Count Rugen's heart and the count dies from realization at what is happening, but in the movie the count is just brutally stabbed. :\
-
Humperdinck's plan to kill Buttercup and fame Guilder to start a war overlooks the problem of his whole reason for getting married: siring an heir. I always wondered, how was he going to do that if he killed Buttercup first? Unless he had another bride waiting in the wings, but neither the book nor film address that problem.
-
Great damn movie
-
This video is reminding me of how much time I spent not paying attention in English class
-
Sounds like the book is a train wreck! I'll continue loving the movie though.
