The green monster made a happy curtain call, and the cat in the boots took over the order

I had the experience of falling asleep in the middle of watching the "Shrek 3" disc before, so I didn't have much expectations for the fourth episode. Later, I heard that this episode is the final version. I am more interested in nostalgic and I want to see the representative How did this green symbol of film spoof culture come to an end for nearly a decade.

Keeping up with the trend, "Shrek 4" is also equipped with 3D glasses, and the effect is really good, especially in the scenes of the witch chasing battle.

As for the plot, it begins with a very realistic "seven-year itch", and ends with a reunion of justice defeating evil. The level of spoofing in the fourth part seems to be the weakest among the four. On the contrary, it draws many lessons from "Alice", Elements of "Avatar", "Fantastic Daddy Fox", "Back to the Future" and other films. The anti-traditional pioneer finally returned to the tradition, no longer trying to subvert anything, but intending to express a common theme of "lose to know how to cherish" and "find true love" (because they are all reunited, their appeal is naturally not as good as "Westward Journey", Yang or my otaku who doesn't understand the style?). It can also be understood that this is a deliberate spoof of Shrek's spoof spirit in the past. . .

In terms of roles, the "newcomers" are lackluster. A bunch of green rebels are similar to Avatar's dragon sets. The villain, the dwarf, can only be remembered for his more diligent hairstyle than Beckham (it should be said that it is a hair set). , and the flute-playing scene seems to be the level of soy sauce; the most outstanding is the "old face" boot cat and nagging donkey, including almost 60% of the jokes, such as the boot cat pretending to be poor "Upgrade to gain weight", and some one-liners from Donkey.

Speaking of Donkey's one-liners, we can't help but pay tribute to the great film dubbing and dubbing workers. The sentence "You signed a mortgage?" is a "perfect match". I really want to know what the original English sentence is. The current regular army of translation has also begun to learn some "translational" translations from the online subtitle groups. I personally like it very much, and I can enjoy a lot of fun that I can't experience when watching the original.

After watching the entire film, there is no shock and aftertaste of the kind of "finale" that I expected, except that the MV at the end of the film reflects the development of Shrek's entire series, which makes people feel old. But then I figured it out. Maybe DreamWorks felt at a loss for this green guy when they finished filming the third film. Now it needs to "dream" the boot cat. This popular character seems to be the only one on the screen next year. , So, the green monster can't be missed too much, "Shrek 4" also paved the way for the boot cat while completing the mission. The Green Monster family can finally live a happy life in peace. And the cat hero, it's up to you!

    The characters are still very cute (especially the cat), and the stories and jokes are still there, but they are indeed a little tired of aesthetics, and the creators are just repeating themselves

    It's pretty good, the classic cute expression of the boot cat just turned me high. The jokes are well designed, the story is a bit plagiarized from Click, and I am satisfied with the 3D effect, at least it really feels like 3D. The soundtrack in the middle is the highlight. But as a finale, I think something is missing. The subtitle translation is very interesting and very close to China's national conditions.
