In recent days, I have read all four Shrek parts of the monster, so let's talk about it. Pixar is still the same, its animation is very simple, do not use written language to deliberately indicate what story this film tells, what meaning, they focus on character design and story design, they can always express a very deep philosophy of life in the form of animation.
In Monster 4, Shrek is tired of the boring life day after day, and he feels that he has lost his former freedom, he used to be a monster that everyone was afraid of, the people in the village were afraid of him, and he bathed in the mud and would not be watched as a scenic spot. That night, while Fiona was asleep, he took out the wanted warrant that had previously been regarded as a monster, and he felt very kind. The next day was the monster baby's birthday party, and the mess at the meeting upset him, it was all trivial things, he was very irritable, he finally couldn't stand it, under the rhetoric of the pimp he signed up for the day to return to the monster's life, and he didn't know what he had lost in exchange for the equivalent. This scene is really like the midlife crisis in everyone's growing up, a bunch of unavoidable trifles, and always because these things make the wrong choice at some point.
Fortunately, in the end, he still got Fiona's true love kiss, and he got the opportunity to turn back. And what about us, are there so many options in the adult world?
