REVIEW
Dreamworks presents us with an unconventional story, where he leaves behind the
conventional blue prince and the beautiful princess full of luxuries, in return he wraps us with
the story of an ogre owner of a swamp and a princess who for fear of what they would say
about society is locked in a tower which is cutodiada by a dragon. None of the protagonists
believe in fairy tales because of the experiences they have lived, but as the story goes by it
shows how for each person there is a perfect other half.

2. PERSONAL OPINION
Shrek is a fun film, full of emotions and values that shows that the true essence of people is
within them and not in their physical appearance.
● Positive
Shrek is a fun movie full of values, this is different from the movies of its genre, The Ogre
turns out to be a hero loved by the princess, and the princess is an ogress. The characters teach
us to look inside people and to value their essence more than their appearance.
● Negative
In Shrek's film the issue of social, bodily, ethnic and cultural differences between the Hero and
the Ogress who is the Princess is very marked, these differences lead some people to try to
separate them.
