Break the traditional setting

The plot of this movie is funny and touching. It is not the same as traditional fairy tales. Originally, I thought that the ending would be Shrek becoming a normal human, but I didn't expect that the beautiful princess became his appearance. Later, I felt that the ending should be like this. To love a person is to accept what he has and love every aspect of him. The appearance is just a skin, the real concern is the inside of a person. And the inside of a person needs to be discovered and understood from the details.

    Princess Fiona: [shocked] What kind of knight ARE you?

    Shrek: One of a kind.
