The second part started to go the traditional way, but with the residual warmth of the first one, plus the funnyness of the donkey and the big watery eyes of the cat in the boots, the result was not bad.
A few years have passed, when the plot of the second part has been forgotten by people, the third part is released, and it has become a very traditional inspirational story, plus the donkey is already poor, and the eyes of the cat in the boot are not good. No matter how charming, this film becomes a mediocre work. For viewers who came with fond memories of the first two films, like me, the result can only be disappointment.
Compared with the first two films, the animation technology of the third film has undoubtedly improved a lot, but the story has become worse. Shrek gave up the chance to inherit the throne because he felt that it was suitable for him to spend a small life with his lover in the swamp in the forest, which was understandable. But he didn't want to have children with Fiona because he was afraid of parenting, and in the whole film, the biggest difficulty he faced was just this little fear in his heart. In life, it is very common to not want children for fear of not being able to bear the responsibility for children, but to regard this issue as the theme of a movie, I personally feel that it is a bit of a fuss. Of course, the theme needs to be sublimated, for example, from fear of having children to sublimation to conquering oneself and achieving brilliance, but as an important person who promotes the sublimation of the theme - Arthur, the film explains his life experience, experience and the process of conquering himself. However, it was a bit perfunctory, resulting in insufficient strength when sublimating, which was very reluctant. In addition, those evil villains in fairy tales, who finally put down their butcher knives and became Buddhas on the spot, are a little too fast, and they are simply irresponsible. In short, the story gives the impression that it is made up for the sake of making it up, and there are many traces of reluctance, and it is a dog-tailed sequel to continue the series.
If the Shrek series comes to an end at 2, it can also leave a good memory for people, making it a good story or even a classic. But as soon as these 3 came out, the original good impression was almost wiped out, and only boredom remained. The principle of accepting when you see it, and retreating bravely has existed since ancient times, both at home and abroad, but some people just don’t understand it.
