And I’m sorry to disappoint Dreamworks but I stopped believing in magic when I found out Father Christmas was my dad dressed in a woolly red suit and black boots up to his knees. Finally, let’s be honest what groovy teenager wants to see some cartoon characters in a reanimated fairytale which I heard a million of when I had bed time stories?
Well actually. . . Me!!
I actually saw Shrek 2 when I was babysitting my younger brother. He’d been mothering to see Shrek 2 for weeks so I saw a way of getting on the good side of my mum but when I was there I was gripped from start to finish.
Why are we always judged by the way we look? I’m blond therefore I’m stupid
, I’m fat therefore I’m lazy, I wear glasses therefore I’m the teachers per. This film looks at the issues faced by teenager’s everyday and it shows that it is wrong to judge people by the way they look. Both the king and shrek judge each other in the way and both behave like fools when they are doing this. The dinner table scene just shows how foolish these prejudices are. We live in a world filled with different cultures and tastes.
The clash between royalty and an orga is similar to the clashes in our real society. It is obvious to the audience that maybe the king and the ogre should talk and get to know each other before making a judgement. Maybe we, as the future leaders of all the different cultures in today’s society, should make sure were not laughed at as we laugh at the king and Shrek.
We all know the old motto true love conkers all. Well, Shrek is deeply in love with Fiona but Prince Charming gets in the way of them. Shrek gives up all for Fiona, I’m sure we have all fancied that special someone and couldn’t do anything about it. We all know for a fact when he is looking out of the window in Fiona’s bedroom, Oh sorry you haven’t seen it have you maybe you should and find out more!
The loving father loves his daughter and his wife and would never do anything to harm them but the Fairy Godmother has other plans. Get her son in there and chuck shrek out. What a sneaky, mean and sly woman! Shrek loves her that much he lets her go which we all know if you loved someone as much as Shrek loves Fiona we wouldn’t let them go would we?
Starbucks, fast food restaurants, Hollywood hills sign; don’t you think this is abit of a twist? Ogres, fairytales, going on honeymoons, what is going on? Soon there will be a BandQ and a Mc Donnald’s. Shrek 2 uses all sorts of animations from different places and people. There are also references to silly humour trust me I couldn’t stop laughing .The humour is amazing and spectacular towards teenagers and children but maybe if your kid is going to watch it I would make sure you have some earmuffs just in case because I’m sure you don’t want your children to know about Pinocchio wearing thongs.
Shrek 2 isn’t really just for kids…
The script is more for teenagers and the fairytales are more for kids. You know it is a brilliant film if you buy it, it is worth it, I think it is out on the 25th December oh what a brilliant late Christmas present for one of the family. Any noble steed between the ages of 5-30 would enjoy this film.
