The only thing we can do is to cherish the people in front of us

A monster who used to be afraid of beasts and birds, Shrek was not immune to "falling into the world" and became a family man and super dad. Fiona said, you have friends who admire you, love your wife, lovely children, but you don't know it. . . But the tediousness of life made this once-mighty male monster unhesitatingly sign a contract with the evil elf, which he eventually suffered and regretted. . .

Shrek got his wish, and he returned to his glorious age. People are afraid of people, and animals see beasts, but. . His Fiona his kids his friends? It turns out that in exchange for the contract, Shrek was stolen the day he was born, meaning he never existed in the world. . .

Shrek said to Fiona,
I know all about you.
I know your singing makes birds jealous;
I know you draw a heart on the word "love" when you sign your name;
I know when you see a shooting star, you cross your fingers, put your fingers on your forehead, and make a promise Wish;
I know you like to sleep with your feet out
and I know you light candles every night when you go to sleep. Because you're afraid to go back to that tower when you wake up.

But. . So what? These recollected memories are just a mockery of Shrek's ignorance of cherishing. . .

Perhaps every relationship will encounter such a bottleneck, and there will always be doubts at a certain moment whether it is what I want now, and I wonder if these insipidities are what I have given up and pursued hard? So there is betrayal, regret, rebellion, and hope to escape from the present and return to the past. . .

Fortunately, this film follows the tradition of happy endings in cartoons, and Shrek finally defeated the evil spirits and returned to the past in a thrilling, humorous and chaotic situation. The donkey is still so talkative, the children are still so noisy, and life is still so trivial and unsatisfactory. . . But Shrek is not the Shrek he used to be. He said to Fiona, I didn't save you, but you saved me. . . So grateful and affectionate. . .

After watching the movie, I stroked my chest. I'm glad that this ending has returned to the big cliché ending where the prince and princess lived happily ever after. . . But I can't help but think, how many people in the world are lucky enough to go back to the past? For most people, if you lose it, you can't get it back again. Some people even turn around and miss a lifetime. . .

Perhaps, the only thing we can do is to cherish the person in front of us and give him/her what he/she wants, now.
