realist who loves fairy tales

There are many friends around me who like anime, they always ask me about many unheard anime works, and strongly recommend me to learn about these popular things, but sorry for them, I never read them seriously. Later, I tried to watch The Simpsons, South Park, Happy Burger, etc. I also gave up completely because I couldn't understand what it was talking about. Because of these experiences, I began to think that I was a childless person and was sad because of it. Knowing that a person with a childlike innocence must be someone who is optimistic about life, I like to make friends with such people and feel their values.

Until I saw SHREK, with the little monsters in the play crying and laughing together, happy and sad like a fool, the play has various fairy tale images that we are familiar with, such as Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Pinocchio, Thumbelina... It's simply a big party for the protagonists of childhood stories. I just started to recall that although I rarely watch anime, the first fairy tale book I read was Grimm's Fairy Tales, and the first fairy tale I wrote was The Princess and the Pea. When we were young and ignorant, we relied on fairy tales. Begin to understand the world, fairy tales allow us to enter this world in the best way, and then grow up slowly, no matter how old we are, I believe that there is a corner in everyone's heart that is reserved for the understanding of the world because of fairy tales .

There have been four films of this movie, and I still don't see any signs of decline. Each one is about a different theme. If Shrek is regarded as a real man, it is simply a history of a man's growth. He may be ugly. , Rough behavior, but loyal to friends, love to lover, sometimes he will put his head wrong and do some wrong things, but we have witnessed him gradually from a rough, lazy, greedy eater. The little monster gradually grew into a mature man who bravely pursued true love and took the initiative to grow and improve himself, and then became a mature man who dared to take responsibility and form a family.

I suddenly thought of the If You Are the One Canada special I just saw. A female guest faced the male guest who came for her, but she chose to give up because of her age. She said: I am two years older than you, I don't want us to be together, when I When the face is old and the person is old, our relationship ends. Judging from the performance of the previous female guests, she is really a little tempted, but let's assume that even if this is a reason for the female guests to shirk, is it still true? I appreciate what the 37-year-old No. 22 female guest said: If You place your sense of security on others or on your appearance, and it will always be nothingness, and the sense of security is given by yourself. Girls often imagine a lot of things in their minds, but these imaginations are powerless and ethereal in the face of reality. For example, imagine the age, appearance, and height of the other half. The most typical example is to imagine a story of Prince Charming, like In the movie Shrek and Fiona, when Shrek overcame many difficulties and broke into the tower to save Fiona, their first conversation was a realistic comparison of male and female differences.
Shrek: Are you Princess Fiona?
Fiona: Yes, I'm waiting for a brave knight to rescue me
Shrek: Fine, let's go
Fiona: Wait, sir, this is the first time we meet, it shouldn't be a very romantic moment ?
Shrek: Hmph, sorry ma'am, no time.
Fiona: What did you say? You should have picked me up, rushed out the window, and landed on your brave white horse.
Shrek: Uh. . . Do you have a lot of time to plan these?
Fiona: But we have to enjoy this rare moment, should you memorize a magnificent poem, a narrative epic? sonnet? limericks? or something else!
Shrek: I'm not prepared for that. . . I still have to save my donkey.

In modern society, young people live too clearly. At the age of 20, they start to bear the things of 40 years old, and they give up the most important thing: to experience the wonder of life itself, and to feel the vastness of the world. Don't be brainwashed by secular success, don't be imprisoned by the small circle around you, don't give up saying to yourself: I can do better, when you are in a hurry to label yourself a realist, please don't forget, You are also the child who once held a fairy tale... All the experiences in the past will definitely be imprinted on the body and indelible.

Finally, I have to say that the soundtrack of this movie is too classic. The first song is very touching. It is a bit of a steal of the movie's limelight. Personally, I recommend "Hallelujah" by Rufus Wainwright. When you saw Shrek in the first part When I saw my beloved being taken away by another person, and Fiona drifted away and disappeared into the sunset, Rufus sang the feeling of heartbreak to the extreme, as if I could hear Shrek's inner murmur: love is not a victory march, it is a cold and it is a broken, Hallelujah, Hallelujah... Maybe there is a God above, and all I ever learned from love was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you...
