The film Shrek is great fun filled, family movie. It’s about an ogre who lives alone on a swamp and gets rude awakening when his land is filled with fairytale characters one night. The King wanted to buy Shrek’s swamp, but Shrek was not about to lose his quiet swamp. When Shrek confronted the King he made a deal with him, if Shrek brought back the beautiful Princess Fiona for him, The King would let Shrek keep his land. So Shrek set out on his adventure to bring back the Princess for the King. Along the way he was not alone, he met various creatures and people along the way. Mike Myers is the voice of Shrek the main character. I think he did a great job with playing Shrek! He made the character really come to life in the film. Cameron Diaz is the voice of Princess Fiona. She also did a great job in the role of the Princess. Princess Fiona has a lot of different sides to her and I think Cameron did a great job with having her voice work with all those sides of Fiona. Eddie Murphy is the voice of Donkey. Eddie did an amazing job playing the role of Donkey! Eddie is such a funny actor, and Donkey is definitely a funny character so the match was perfect! Shrek is an ogre who loves his privacy and to be alone. Princess Fiona is a beautiful princess who wants to find true love. She has been stuck in a tower all alone most her life and has waited a lifetime for her prince charming to come and save her. Donkey is a hilarious character that loves to talk and sing! He is definitely a lovable character that makes everyone laugh. When watching this film, a main theme is that true love is found in the inside, not the outside. Another great theme is to never give up on what you love. I agree with Elvis Mitchell that Shrek is film that has brought back some of the pop culture. Shrek is a great film that has gave a new type of comedy to our culture. I would definitely recommend this movie; it is a great movie that everyone in family will love!
