Mark Knopfler with a difference

Very fluent, quiet and gentle this soundtrack begins to The Princess Bride with "Once upon a time" - just like fairy tales begin. And it's not a beautiful fairy tale and at the same fantasy, adventure and pirate movie in one? True to the book The Princess Bride, the way, I have read with pleasure, has Rob Reiner, the director of "When Harry Met Sally", turned this sweet film.

In "I will never love again" you do not think at first that the song by Mark Knopfler is restrained and a bit melancholic. "Florin Dance" is a cheerful start with medieval instruments and simple drum. With "Morning Ride" you go majestically and with graceful steps to the royal court.

It comes with 'Friends' song "elegiac and a bit mischievous further. Tension is built up in "The Cliffs of Insanity" - one sees the abyss almost to themselves. "The Sword Fight" match the scene in Westley with Inigo Montoya fighting for his life. In "Guide My Sword" flows back all soft and gentle then ...

The rest of the songs "The Fireswamp", "Revenge" and "A Happy Ending" is a successful accompaniment of Fantasy strip that underscore his mixture as a satirical romance and witty action-adventure. Except for "Storybook Love" (directed by and starring Willy De Ville), all songs of Mark Knopfler and Guy Fletcher.
