Forbidden Games Film Review Most likely Paulette is more focused on her puppy because that is something that is more immediate. She is so concerned with the fact that she lost her cute puppy that she used to play and cuddle with because it was something that immediately gave her pleasure and satisfaction. In reality, she doesn't really understand that her parents are fully gone. She may be in shock, or just too young to really understand that they will never return. Thus, she is too childlike to understand the more long-term ramifications of the loss of her parents. During the entire movie, she seems to begin to realize this, however. At the end of the film, when she is running into the crowd at the train station, she does end up crying for her mother. This may ultimately show how she is beginning to understand the reality of her losses because the

It is strange considering that it is coming from two young children, but they clearly care for each other on a deeper level than anyone else in the film does. Throughout the movie, Michel is constantly showing Paulette how much he cares for her. One obvious example is the fact that he steals the cross off his own brother's grave to help bury the animals that have died in the war, including Paulette's beloved puppy.

Rob Reiner's 1987 film The Princess Bride enjoyed only moderate box office revenues, but developed popular underground appeal and has become a cult classic. The enduring respect for Reiner's quirky romantic comedy is immediately apparent: it is far from formulaic, and does not truly fit in either to the "rom com" designation or that of a fantasy. The Princess Bride also includes a cast filled with luminaries like Peter Falk,
