The Cave of the Golden Rose (Phantaghiro)

I spent my night watching a great movie; Cave of the Golden Rose (Phantagiro). It was published on 1991 (Phantagiro I) and 1996 (Phantagiro II).


It’s a great story… it’s a fairy tale story, with princesses and princes, fairy godmother, talking animals, castles and wars with love stories, adventures and so many things which is out of our imagination.

I’ve watch this movie before, long ago when I was a kid and this fairy tale story is the best I ever seen.

So, here’s the simple synopsis about this story: (grabbed from Wikipedia)

Fantaghirò is the youngest of three princesses born to a warrior King. Although she is beautiful and smart, she causes many problems for her family because she goes against everything expected for a woman in her kingdom, by being adventurous and rebellious, and knowing how to read, which makes her father furious. One day, the warrior King receives an invitation from the enemy king Romualdo to a duel that can potentially end the centuries-long war that has been going on between the two kingdoms. The warrior king then learns that only one of his three daughters can win the duel. Fantaghirò sees this as a chance for her to prove herself.

There are many parts of this movie, Part 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. But I only have until part 2. After all, this movie is the best.

Sherree ~ Oh.. LOL...yeah, this movie really suits in me! Although I'm 21 now and my 1st time watch this movie was when I was 7 or 8, my excitement were still the same! Each scene makes me feel like I’m alive in there! I am imaginative… 
