Subversion of traditional fairy tales

The movie "Shrek" released by DreamWorks was released in 2001. In the book that Shrek started to open in the film, it reads that there is a beautiful princess in the tower guarded by the dragon. She is waiting for her true love. The kiss of true love. Like the familiar fairy tales, the princess in "Shrek" has two appearances during the day and night. The dragon who guards the princess is a dragon who looks forward to love and falls in love with a donkey, and comes to save the princess. He is a monster, he is not handsome, there is no white horse, only a chattering donkey.

It’s not the same as a fairy tale, but in the end the princess still falls in love with that ugly and terrifying monster, a story of true love over appearance. The film ends here, and the ending is still beautiful. The princess becomes a monster and Shrek. Live in it together.

    Shrek is org. In the past, people used to write org as the evil devil, but in Shrek, he became a lovely and honest farmer. Although the story uses the template of the frog prince (actually a human princess turns into an orge), it is still worth watching.

    I saw it on HBO many years ago. At that time, I was amazed that the 3D graphics of DreamWorks could be so exquisite, not inferior to Pixar, the classic fairy tales can be so subverted, and the music can be so beautiful. Now Hollywood is full of subversive spoofs
