Comments on Shrek 4

Activity 2

When I watched the trailer, it was so good and it makes you expect a lot on the movie but when I’ve watched the movie, it was a little boring. I watched it alone actually. When I am watching it, I am like, “why is it so long? When will it end?” Lucky for me, I wasn’t the one who bought the CD. It was my sister. The movie was okay but I liked the first one more, which is the Shrek one, where Shrek rescued Fiona there.

I didn’t enjoy it much. Maybe it was because I am alone when I watched it. Just why I didn’t feel it. Maybe. The effects are good but I am not that familiar with the soundtracks used. The plot of the story was simple, and it ended with a happy ending, as a fairy tale should be. The title of the movie is "Shrek 4 - Forever after". it is the final of the Shrek series and it goes like this:

Shrek was tired of his life and he felt that nothing is interesting in his life anymore. His routines everyday doesn’t change. It was always repeating. When the first birthday of his children came, many of his fans came to him to get an autograph, but he was so busy managing the party. They are always disturbing him. When the cake of his children was eaten by the pigs, and it was so noisy around him, he was so fed up that he screamed out of frustration. He and Fiona also had a fight about it so he just went home. On his way home, he met Rumplestiltskin. They had a drink and he confessed his problems to his new friend. He said that he wanted to go back to the way it was before where the people around him were scared of him. He wanted to feel like an ogre again and he wanted to live peacefully in his swamp. Hearing his problems, Rumplestiltskin offered him a contract where Shrek can go back to one day of his life. It was any day that he like to go back to. So they made a pact. But unfortunately, Shrek was duped and he was sent to a twisted version of Far Far Away -- where Rumpelstiltskin is king, ogres are hunted, and he and Fiona have never met. It was the day that he wasn’t yet born. The only way to break the contract is true love’s kiss. So he sets out to restore his world and reclaim his true love.

The lesson that I learned in the movie is that be contented of what you have. Do not wish for something because you might end up losing everything that you have. You will only realize how important a thing or a person is until they are gone, which proves that regret is always at the end. So take care of all those people around you because you'll never know when they'll be gone. Cherish every moment that you spend with your loved ones and be thankful of everything.
