SHREK 1 COMEDY FILM
*Errores marcados en rojo.
Being a bit of a film buff, I have always awakened my interests in animated films. One of the most gripping I have ever seen is «Shrek 1», which was released in 2001 and based on William Steig fairy tale book.
The terrifying green-skinned ogre, Shrek, lives peacefully in his swamp, enjoying his loneliness when suddenly all the fairy tales from the faraway land banished by Lord Farquaad of Duloc turned up there. In order to get his swamp back for only himself, he sets out with the chatty Donkey to visit Lord Farquaad, to whom he demands to relocate the annoying fairy tales.
Under one condition, Lord Farquaad accepts. Shrek must rescue the Princess Fionna to marry Farquaad, as he needs to marry someone in order to became a king. Donkey and Shrek go in a quest to rescue Princess Fiona who, surprisingly, keeps a secret that may change all her life.
The character’s design quality is admirable, making the plot, which is heavily influenced by several Disney films, even more realistic. Although it’s a cartoon movie, it’s star-studded, since it features the voices of Mike Myers and Cameron Diaz, among others.
I would highly recommend «Shrek 1», given that it’s a superb fictional movie suitable for all ages. Not only it catches your attention since minute one, but also is extremely comical, so rarely can a viewer get bored. It will have you in hysterics.
If you love fictional films «Shrek 1» is by far and away the best one you will watch. I wouldn’t hesitate to make the most of Netflix and watch it instantly.
