6 Things You Didn't Notice While Watching 'The Princess Bride'

"The Princess Bride" is an amazing movie that does not fall into one specific category. It has romance, action, drama and comedy It is a movie that has become a classic, and I know that I will share this movie with my future children, as will many others. "The Princess Bride" is by far my favorite movie. That being said, I have seen it over a hundred times. I can't speak for everyone, but whenever I have watched a movie several times I tend to look for things I have never seen before. I am about to tell you the things I have seen and/or considered while watching "The Princess Bride," but first here are some examples of things to find in movies.

You could look for any of the Disney Easter eggs, such as Scar in "Hercules" or Eugene and Rapunzel in "Frozen," another could be any small detail in the Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings movies because we all know how much detail was put into them! Here are my thoughts after watching "The Princess Bride" again:

*SPOILER ALERT: If you have not seen "The Princess Bride," first of all GO WATCH IT, and secondly, do not read this article until you do, because there are a few spoilers!

1. Were Count Rugen and Prince Humperdinck lovers?


This is a legitimate thought! Prince Humperdinck and Count (Tyrone) Rugen were very close. They tortured, planned, and hung out together. He might be the only person besides himself that Prince Humperdinck cares about. Also, Buttercup is said to be the most beautiful in all the land, so why didn't the prince just marry her instead of trying to kill her to start a war?

2. Is the old lady in Buttercup's dream a reflection of herself?


This was Buttercup's dream and people do say that people in our dreams reflect ourselves. Buttercup was probably disgusted with herself after leaving Westley behind so this reflection of herself is disgusted with her. Also, they both have blue eyes and similar face shape. I sure hope Robin Wright doesn't grow old this way!

3. Did everyone in the Royal Family learn how to balance at a young age?


Look at those crowns. How could anyone stand up with that on their head? I'm thinking this is when walking while balancing a book on your head comes in handy!

4. Has Fezzik ever met any women his size?


Fezzik was a big guy! Were there any women his size? For his sake, I sure hope so because he was such a sweetie!

6. How did the grandfather read that long book in one day?


Look at that book. It's a pretty big book! I have personally read the novel by William Goldman/S. Morgenstern and it takes a while to get through that book. Granted this is a movie so everything isn't timed out correctly, but come on there is no way the grandfather could've read that book in one day!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
