The story of sword-fighting men rescuing a beautiful
woman trapped in a tall tower is read by a grandfather to a boy too sick to
play outside. I love that a popular movie is largely about this relationship. This
grandson figures out by the end of the movie that his grandfather loves him
enough to share an adventure that anyone can take just by opening a book.
The story being read is what most people remember
because of the rhymes of the giant, the expert technique of the Spaniard, and
the humility and enduring love of the farm boy.
Directed by Rob Reiner, this movie gives its many fans
the ability to quote lines from Vizzini’s battle of wits or give marriage vows
with a speech impediment. The popularity of this film makes me wonder how many
people on this planet have introduced themselves as Inigo Montoya.
The teamwork depicted in this movie is inspiring. None
of the hero’s teammates would’ve been able to find their success without the
others. This is the perfect movie to inspire your team to empower the group’s
success by using their individual gifts.
