Essays 1-02: MR 1-01 "SHReK"

I watched movie "SHReK" for the first time. I have thought for a long time that I want to watch this movie. So at last I could watch"SHReK" this time. Recently, I couldn't a lot of movies, so I could spend wonderful time by watching this movie with my friend. This time, I was involved in this story. Now I will talk about this story and what I thought in this movie. ★★★★★★★
First of all, I will explain about characters of this story. Shrek is a big green monster, who lives in a forest obscurity. Donkey is a very very talkative. He will be a Shrek's best friend later. Farquaad is a despotic sovereign. He tried to make perfect kingdom and become a king of this kingdom. Fiona is a very beautiful princess, who is confined in Dragon's castle. She waited for someone to be helped from this castle and waited for destine person. In addition, there are a lot of fairy tale characters. Snow White, The seven Dwarfs, The Magic Mirror, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, The Three Bears, Pinocchio, Geppetto, Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, The Three Little Pigs, The Big Bad Wolf, The Old Woman in the Shoe and Robin Hood etc...

Once upon a time, there was a green giant, who lived obscurity and lonely in a remote forest. His name is "Shrek". He was a terrible appearance, but he has a kind heart. However villagers here were afraid. One day, the fairy tale characters escaped in his village. They lost their houses because Farquaad Lord made them escaped. To recover peaceful and silent village, Shrek and Donkey went to Farquaad Lord. To become a king, Farquaad had to look for and marry princess. So he talked with The Magic Mirror. It advises him to select one princess of three princesses; Snow White, Cinderella and Fiona princess. Eventually he selected Fiona princess as his wife. She confined in a Dragon's castle. He gathered the strong to welcome a princess, but he was knocked down by Shrek and Donkey. Farquaad said to them, " If you can bring back Fiona princess, I will make a promise your peaceful life." Then the journey of Shrek and Donkey began.

Shrek and Donkey arrived at Dragon's castle and they helped Fiona princess. After that the journey of three began. On the way to Farquaad Lord, Shrek and Donkey found that Fiona princess is very strong and active. They were surprised. While they keep on traveling, Shrek and Fiona princess began to fall in love with each other. However Fiona had a secret which couldn't tell anyone. It was that she becomes an ogress when it begins to be dark and night. But she made up her mind to confess this secret. She showed up her ogress appearance in the wedding ceremony. Farquaad, Shrek and other people were very surprised. Finally Shrek and Fiona got married. They began happy life!!!

Second, I will talk about theme and what I thought of this story. I think that this story want to tell us "We can't get love by money or authority (power)", "As for person, a heart is an important than its looks". If we have a lot of money and power, we couldn't get real love without kindly heart. In this story Shrek looks terrible monster, but actually, he was different from looks, he had a kind heart. People often tend to judge people by their looks. But we can't judge their personality without knowing them. So we need to talk with everyone without looks, and we have to know their personality. When I began to watch beginning of this story, I didn't understand what this story tells us. While I kept on watching it, I was involved in this movie. I want to watch "SHReK 2" and "SHReK 3". I cannot help watching series of this story!!!
