      "Rare"? I hate to say it because the film is one of the best films ever but the book does so much shit that the film can't do because it's not a book Everyone should read the bookhttps://twitter.com/mightygodking/status/1227351653780721664 …

      Waiting in the airport for our flight to Florence, and for no connected reason I am thinking about the duel between Westley and Inigo in THE PRINCESS BRIDE and how this is the rare bit in the story where the book did it better

      The Inigo stuff especially Most of what Goldman says about fencing is, obviously, made up, but Inigo and his father's arc is obviously him channeling everything his thoughts about the idea of education and mastery, of slowly realizing you're the best in the world at something

      Domingo Montoya's forging of the six-fingered sword, how it makes him impossible to live with, bipolar One day collapsed in bed, muttering "I'm a fool, it's impossible, I've wasted my life" The next manic, screaming "I've solved it! I am the greatest man who ever lived"

      Throwing away his work and starting over again and again, and only in spasms of despair and euphoria, step by uncertain step, is the perfect sword created

      Inigo's insecurity and fear driving him to greatness His memories are all of being a struggling student because whenever he *doesn't* struggle he abandons that teacher for another one, because whenever someone tells him he's good enough he knows "good enough" isn't enough

      So you get that classic Princess Bride fakeout when the final master says "I can't help you get better, I don't think anyone in the world can, it's impossible" and Inigo is about to leave, defeated And just the matter of fact "You're better than anyone who's ever lived"

      And, you know, the way they play the final fight scene in the movie is cool but it's better with Inigo's internal narration Inigo, as a person, has given up in despair But his training hasn't The rest of his brain simply refuses to give up

      Even as he's dying and his soul is giving into the self-loathing and depression that's always plagued him his brain won't shut up It won't stop knowing the right answer The voices of his old master patiently, methodically telling him how to deflect Rugen's finishing blow

      Even when he wants to die his mind will not stop working at how to live As he's thinking "Forgive me father, I have failed" his teachers are saying "Use the wall for leverage, he's coming in here so parry there, if you pivot on your left leg he won't expect a riposte here"

          (People like to imagine the "heart" as what you can trust to save and protect you and the "mind" as filled with obstacles and traps My experience is it's just as often the opposite)
