The Princess Bride - a photo on Flickriver

The Princess Bride

The Princess Bride evokes a nostalgic feeling in me...it was a time when I was young and also before I even knew that evil people like Trump existed but Prince Humperdink did seem pretty bad.

Chiditarod is a magical time space where all elements of pop culture share the same space in order to raise money for charity but one thing I've noticed is how current fads may come and go but the older films and references are solid and return.

When someone asked me what my favorite cart was for the year, I told him I supposed it was The Princess Bride because of my fondness of the film. He didn't understand why so many girls liked the film. I told him it was because it had everything-mystery, romance, dueling, battle of wits....what film has a fire swamp and a slow tolerance to iocane powder in the same film? Plus, Andre the Giant!

But, I admitted it wasn't a perfect film. For one, there's no people of color in the film aside from Mandy Patinkin who is Jewish and when Andre the Giant puts on a "Holocaust Cloak" it is (rightfully) scary but also black and this isn't lost on me. Why is black scary?

Anyway, if we lived in a perfect world where I was still a kid and racism didn't exist, the Perfect Bride would be closer to perfect as well.

I still really loved this cart. But, it wasn't the cynical every day me who loved it. It was the child in me who wanted the world to be a better place.
