![]() One can wax poetic about the meaning of love and how it is represented in the film, but I think it is best represented by the tender moments shared between Wesley and Buttercup on screen. No one can predict the duels, fights with giants, battles of wits, and the castles you’ll storm yet through perseverance, grit, and a little bit of creativity you can work through any challenge and be reunited with your one true love. However, I also realized that this story is just a representation of love, as there are numerous twists, turns, obstacles and it is slightly confusing and maddening. Whenever someone speaks of true love, there is a constant theme of wanting to keep the other safe and doing whatever it takes to protect them and to be faithful. This compares to Buttercup’s depression and vow to never love again after Wesley’s disappearance. He journeyed from the ends of the earth, faced death, and stormed a castle to join his true love again. I’ve always been entranced by Wesley’s willingness to do everything, no matter how simple, menial, or time-consuming it might prove to be. Yet, as explained by the Grandfather ( Peter Falk), whenever Wesley spoke those words he meant, “I love you.” I have always found that phrase encapsulates the essence of the film. One of the most famous lines uttered throughout the film is, “As you wish,” which is often spoken by Wesley when Princess Buttercup needs any task or chore to be completed. It never fails to grab ahold of me, pulling me into the expansive and thrilling story of Princess Buttercup ( Robin Wright) and her Wesley ( Cary Elwes). ![]() ![]() That’s why it has always been endearing to me.
