robin wright really gave everything as buttercup in hindsight. pity she didn’t have any lines to deliver
#rewatching the princess bride is a rollercoaster for me EVERYtime#when I was a kid I was always so frustrated that I didn’t like buttercup that much bc I only cared about female characters generally#then when I got older I realised that she was an uninteresting character#and that that was why#yet another bit older and I finally reconciled with the fact that she was poorly written#now? today? she’s not poorly written! and she’s excellently acted! the issue is that she’s BARELY written#she doesn’t have enough lines to establish her character the way westley or inigo is! or even fezzik or vizzini or humperdinck#even miracle max and his wife have more character! bc they’re written to have character!#buttercup is written to be the perfect romantic heroine and damsel! which means they can’t let her have any character!#but robin wright was giving it all despite that!#her face journey of expressions after westley explains the evolution of the dread pirate roberts YELLS the potential for characterising#buttercup#only she didn’t have a line to say! she just had to walk off and fall in a quagmire!#grrrrrr!!!#I love the princess bride but it would’ve been even better if she’d gotten some lines and son character direction bc she could’ve worked#she could’ve worked magic I’m sure of it#so we circle back around to ‘its because a man wrote her’. obviously.#I love the lines she does have btw. they all fuck. she pushes westley down a hill. let her speak more!!!!!!!#my dream scenario is a sequel with all the same cast of actors where buttercup gets to speak#all in the same style of genre and special effects as in the original ofc
