If you are my true love, where were you when I needed you?

In Shrek 4, the monster suffered a mid-life crisis and was bored with the ordinary life day after day, so he began to miss the glorious past where people screamed and ran away when they saw him.

So he established a simple contract with the elf Rambo, and exchanged a certain day in his life for a 24-hour recollection of the past journey.

Soon Shrek came to the "past" where he didn't know Fiona. He scared people around freely, enjoying people's screams and fears, and even more enjoying people's pursuit and killing with knives and guns.

But gradually, he discovered something was wrong. The entire "far away to death" kingdom has been ruled by the elf Rambo. When Shrek questioned Rambo angrily, he finally discovered the problem: the elf exchanged the most important day for Shrek, the day he was born.

Well, Shrek, who went back to the past, has fallen into a certain paradox. If he did not exist on the day he was born, then there would be no existence of Shrek as a monster. Then, his life trajectory also does not exist...After the 24-hour contract has passed , He will disappear.

The only thing that can solve the problem is the old topic: the kiss of true love.

In other words, the condition for termination of the contract with the elf Rambo is the "true love kiss" between Shrek and Fiona.

It sounds easy, but Fiona didn't even know Shrek at that time. When Shrek rushed to the Dragon Castle angrily, she realized that Fiona did not wait for true love to appear like in the first part. She is gone.

When I saw Fiona again, she was already the leader of the rebels leading the monster against Rambo's brutal rule. In other words, the princess who didn't wait for Shrek to appear, did not wait hopelessly. She escaped from the tower and organized a large number of monsters to start an evocative forest guerrilla career. Fiona, who didn't meet Shrek on time, became a heroine.

The problem facing Shrek now is how to make Fiona, a successful career woman, fall in love with herself who has nothing, and then come to a "kiss of true love" to save herself?



I won't be spoiled for the climax part.



The ending is of course a happy ending

However, my favorite in the whole article is here, the dialogue between Fiona and Shrek.



The Chinese dubbing to the effect is like this, I didn't hear the details clearly.

Fiona: I saved myself, not true love that can never wait.

Shrek: But Fiona, I am indeed your true love.

Fiona: Well, if you are my true love, where were you when I needed you?



Our strong woman Fiona said: the one who save me from dragon castle is myslef. It

means that the one who saved me is myself. I finally discovered that I can only rely on my own strength. And you, Shrek, didn't show up when it was time to show up, I don't need you now.



There is a small peak here. In her second life, the female pig did not have a bad life because the male pig that should have appeared in the hit did not appear. On the contrary, although she started another life, she also lived quite well...



Honey, don't think that without you , I can’t live, maybe I will live better

dear, don’t think how unforgettable you are, maybe I will forget you by accident

, dear, if you don’t show up when I need you, maybe you just Not needed anymore

Shrek Forever After quotes

  • Puss in Boots: Feed me, if you dare.

  • Shrek: Okay, I know you don't remember me but we're married, and at the birthday party with some pigs and a puppet, the villagers wanted me to sign their pitchforks and this boy kept saying 'do the roar! do the roar!' Then I punched the cake that the pigs ate, and the next thing I knew, my donkey fell in your waffle hole.
