The Princess Bride - Fencing Scene

1/28/2020 8:14pm,

Thought this was pretty cool, I always thought that the writing in The Princess Bride was amazing, turns out it is also well researched.

In that infamous fencing scene between Westley and Inigo Montoya, they are actually using fencing language and using it in a way that makes sense in the context of the scene.

I'm possibly heaps late to the party on this one considering this article is from 2010, but my initial search function n00b and quick scan didn't show up.

GET A RED BELT OR DIE TRYIN'.

I think Battlefields and I had a spirited discussion once about who was the biggest narcissist. We both wanted the title but at the end of the day I had to concede defeat. Can't win 'em all.

You're not terribly late to the party. Here's a vid I watched on the subject within the last 3 months or so:

too lazy to see if that is the same as the broken video in your link

Consider for a moment that there is no meme about brown-haired, brown-eyed step children.
