Shrek is an enlightening, fun choose which appears to be a fairytale, but is real a parody of traditional tales. Strong fairytale themes be present but are conveyed in a much politically correct manner. The realism in the ideas and characters is excellent for creating humour.
The film is about an ugly yet lovable ogre who is on a quest to renew the title deed of his swamp. He is to slay the guarding dragon, fetch the glorious princess and bring her back to marry headmaster Farqhuar as he requires a wife to become king.
Parody is utilise in this film to twist traditional style fairytales by copying ideas and central themes then exaggerating, or subverting them so the characters politically correct. This form of imitation makes a statement to society, but is also a useful tool to create humour for denary generations.
Shrek - our hero - is not exactly your average fairytale prince. Heros in traditional fairytales are handsome and courageous and are honoured for swell achievements - even a mentor for younger generations. Bravery and peculiarity are qualities that Shrek does possess, but he is far from being honoured or at all handsome. He is an repulsive ogre, not a handsome prince, that inhabits a dirty swamp, and not a beautiful rich castle. Shrek is also quite happy that the rest of the area has no interest in him, and that he does not pay off a wealthy King and Queen for parents.
This character makes a definite point to society, that although the good guy isnt physically inviting he is still capable of being the great fairytale hero and completing presented tasks.
In most fairytales, the hero is on a quest or search for something, with obstacles or challenges before him. standardized to traditional tales, Shrek must...
O i really like this!! Most of the impression reviews were 200 words and lacked everything yours has. It is inspiring that you could write this, and make it so good and injoyable to read, even for those who dont like Shrek.
Well done!! :)
