Extra Credit Blog: Shrek Forever After

Recently I watched the movie "Shrek Forever After" and even though it is a cartoon I think the story depicts a very important message about love. I don't want to give away the whole story because I strongly encourage everyone to watch it. To give you an idea of how the movie went picture this fairy tail world of "Far Far Away". Shrek is married to Princess Fiona and they have three little ogres together. It is their children's first birthday and they have a big party with the villagers. Shrek gets angry and storms out of the party because he feels like he is no longer scary and frightening to the villagers. Fiona is trying to be caring and asks whats wrong etc.. and Shrek pretty much says he wishes things were back to before he saved Fiona from the dragon guarded castle. That when Rumpelstiltskin come into the picture. Rumpel gives Shrek the option to be a scary ogre for a day, only if he can take a day from his past. They agree to this deal and Rumpel takes the day Shrek was born. To make a long story short, with this deal Fiona never really met Shrek because he was never born. He goes through the movie trying to win Fiona's heart and have true loves kiss to break the deal so everything will go back to the way it was before. The fact that he took for granted the love he once had fits perfectly in with love stories because many people I'm sure have come across that same problem. All in all everything goes back to normal and Shrek never takes his life and loving family for granted again.
