 Shrek: the greatest basest fairy tale never ever told

 Author:  Topic:  Posted:

 Comments:
On November 2, Shrek was finally released on DVD amidst great fanfare. Shrek was supposed to be a delightful children's movie the whole family could enjoy, so like so many others, I threw my twenty dollars on the $100-million pile Dreamworks raked in from the first three days' video sales alone.

But by the end, I was fuming: the audience hadn't received an educating parable about the value of difference and diversity. Instead, Shrek turned out to be nothing but a vile reformulation of the same tired stereotypes that perpetuate strife between peoples and among nations. This film is downright irresponsible.

The Time is Right for Manual Sex
First up is our protagonist, the eponymous Shrek, a dour lumbering ogre. While we may safely ignore the mannerisms he displays at the beginning as sheer comedic effect, there is one matter we cannot forgive: to play the role of Shrek, the director has cast a misanthropic green Irishman. Worse yet, his is a rather poor imitation of an Irish brogue, spoken by none other than Fat Bastard himself, Mike Myers (and a Canadian to boot!). I suppose it was too much to expect Hollywood to remember the difference between Irish and Scottish accents -- as bad as Mike Myer's Scottish accent as Fat Bastard in those wretched Austin Powers movies, his butchering of the mellifluous timbres of Gaelic is worse. No, it is indeed expecting too much to hope that Hollywood could understand, much less convey, the intricate and important differences between Scotland and Eyre, separated by geography, language, and religion. While we're at it, let's lump all those brown people in central Asia together with the ones in Africa -- there's hardly a difference.

Accompanying Shrek on his quest is his loveable smart-aleck sidekick. After all, what movie would be without one? And Shrek, like most movies, has gone for the tried and true: make the sidekick a token African American. Sure, he looks like a simple grey donkey, but beneath that exterior beats the Uncle Tomming heart of Eddie Murphy. Humbled by his slavemaster and shunned by society for his inability to fit in, the donkey resorts to the final refuge of the weak and powerless: flattery. It's all he has; he doesn't even merit a name -- just Donkey, an ass, the butt of countless jokes. And as much as he is kicked around, he still crawls back for more, servile and obsequious as ever.

It almost goes without saying that they're on a mission to rescue the princess from her imprisonment in a distant castle. Every fairy tale since time immemorial has used this plot, and the writers, by missing their opportunity to tell a modern narrative, demonstrated their full complicity in the underlying messages of conservative patriarchal oppression. Yet again, the woman is helpless and the man is omnipotent: it is by his kiss and not her hard work that the precious princess may be lifted from her downtrodden posture and placed on her crystal pedestal. Our daughters are told: marry or rot -- there is no room on this green earth for single women.

There is a dragon, female of course. The epitome of the Dragon Lady, an Asian character type with a long but ignoble history. For its entire history, Hollywood has never shrunk from the chance to cast yet another Asian actress as yet another evil seductress -- a veritable man-eater. Though she is powerful beyond compare, don't think for a moment that she is content with her station in life. No, she too seeks a man to flatter her feminine graces and her beauty as she demurely bats her eyelashes. It's little wonder so few seats in Congress are filled by women: they're all at home where they belong literally wed to a jackass. Don't forget to catch that bridal bouquet, Mrs Dragon! Marriage for you as well!

And don't believe for a second that Shrek only played on racial stereotypes. Persons with disabilities received no better treatment. Lord Farquaad (hah hah, please) is somehow less a man because of his diminished height. And not just his height, mind you. His adapted conveyance, a horse with a booster seat, is somehow supposed to embellish his absurdity. Let me tell you: wheelchairs are nothing to laugh at. Handicapped parking plates are nothing to laugh at. Is it any surprise many persons with disabilities are reluctant even to show themselves in public for fear of such ridicule? And lest you think I'm imagining these things, I need only point you to those rascally visually-impaired mice who can do nothing but trip over themselves and each other, as though blind people are incapable of anything but an eternity of Gerald Ford impersonations.

I'm told the DVD edition has special footage and features not available in the theater or vhs versions: filmmakers' commentary, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and more. I'll have to take others' word for it, because there is no way in heaven or Texas I'm going to sit through any more of that bigotry; I'd return my DVD to the merchant who sold it to me if I could only be assured that it wouldn't be re-sold to someone less educated and more impressionable. If these extra bits are anything like the rest of the film, I wouldn't be surprised if they're nothing but ribald epithets and the sort of filth that makes even jaded Hollywood censors blush.

Shrek: the greatest fairy tale never told ought have stayed that way. Buy it only if you seek a first-rate lesson in moral bankruptcy.


Cartoons are the most insidious assault on our (5.00 / 1) (#3)
by Adam Rightmann on Wed Nov 14th, 2001 at 08:53:05 AM PST
society practiced by the secular humanist conspiracy. Something about the animation, saturated colors and exagerrations causes most peoples' critical thinking skills to be turned off, allowing Hollywood an unfiltered gateway to pour their filth into.

I was struck by this epiphany as a young child, watching the Flintstones. I realized that every episode had the same theme; Fred and Barney, the good hearted but bumbling and incompetent men, would get into a dire situation, only to be saved by their shrill, competent wives. This theme bothered, for in my own personal experience, my father was strong and competent, and my mother was warm and welcoming. They worked together to raise their children in a God-fearing, right-thinking environment. Where were the families that the Flinstones were modeled upon?

Later on I realized the truth. The Flintstones were a template to overlay on young, impressionable minds, causing children to grow up into these roles, and causing the destruction of the nuclear family. The creators of the Flintstones, and other members of the media, will not be content until every man is unemployed, on welfare, away from his family, and all children are raised by man-hating feminazis. People raised in these divorced families will be filled with self-loathing, and easily controlled by the Satanist secular-humanist conspiracy. Please, turn off the cartoons.

I mean, sure, art can break down critical thinking. It's just that that wasn't what we were talking about at all, and it seems as though you are taking every opportunity to beat a drum for your viewpoint, which is only polite if it's on topic.

I'll admit my post was pretty flippant - sorry. What I should have said was that not every discussion needs to be about mysticism and how rationalism has and will always fail us in the end.

When have I said anything mysticism? All I said was that good art breaks down critical thinking; (which is true) since you said cartoons like Shrek break down critical thinking skills, then they are obviously "good" art. (In some sense.) Like all good art, they must communicate some sort philosophical outlook on life and society.

So, I think it's wrong to claim that cartoons are "just for fun".

How about Scooby Doo as a product of the englightenment? That a cartoon encourages critical thinking (which is, correct me if I'm wrong, encouraged by the bible yes?) is surely a good thing isnt it? Also animation from other parts of the world, such as Japanese animation, carries lots of other messages. Take Neon Genesis Evangelion for example. On the surface its yet another mecha anime, but delve beneath that exterior and you see a tale of the destruction that is caused when man turns his back on God and tries to take creation into his own hands. Not to spoil it for anyone out there who is watching it, but nothing good comes of it. The end is bleak and unforgiving, as it rightly should be.

Sure, there are cartoons such as the Flintstones which are pure evil, but you really shouldnt turn your back on this artform as a whole. Just like any other medium, its how its used that counts.

or you have been brainwashed by it. Let me give you some clues:

Shaggy: A consumptive build and wears a goatee, an agent of the drug conspiracy. Scooby: An anthropromized dog, an attempt to undermine the dominion over animals that God gave us. Stock Villian: A capitalistic man who is attempting to better himself.

All in all, Scooby Doo is a rank piece of subversive propaganda, courtesy of the secular humanist conspiracy, who won't be happy until we're all pot-smoking sodomists talking to our dogs and afraid of hard work.

There is no way Fred could be gay. Also, in reference to his clothing, you can usually catch yuppies wearing stuff like that in old 70's TV shows. A sure fire way to know he's not gay is because he's always going off with the 2 girls.

The Flintstones was a direct ripoff of the Honeymooners. Same basic setup, same mentality, same type of action, etc.

Far from a template for molding children, it was a carbon copy of a successful product. Hollywood simply found that the same formula appealed to a much wider audience than they though. A quick buck without an original thought.

...the fact that the creators of Shrek gave Princess Fiona magical kung fu powers to fight bad guys like Robin Hood and his men. At first glance, this might seem like an admirable, feminist act but a bit of deconstruction shows us otherwise.

If the princess truly were 'empowered' she would have saved herself from the 'Dragon Lady' a long time earlier, rendering Shrek's rescue unnecessary. This raises the point that the princess perhaps didn't want to be 'saved' by a man and was in fact happy living with her female dragon companion. Having Princess Fiona 'fight' the 'bad guys' is simply pandering to the safest, least threatening part of the struggle for liberation while still bowing down overall to the patriarchal oppressor.

My take on that was I didnt think she wanted to escape at all, she was pretty much just there cause she wanted to be rescued by a prince and break the spell that was put on her etc. etc.
I liked the movie, great graphics on my 56" big screen tv. and I rented it first, I also cant belive this guy bought it before he rented it, I dont go buying movies before I am sure I like it, and also that it will have reply value, suck as pulp fiction, tombstone, slingblade, porn etc...

It's a satire against the mentality of the colonized. They have everything they need to free themselves except a belief in their own rights to be free.

Naturally, upon freeing one's self from the oppressor, the next step is to set up a peaceful, matriarchal collective to non-exploitatively administer the resources bestowed upon us by Mother Earth (in her wisdom,) not to mention presiding over the ritual sacrifices every spring.

As for magical kung-fu powers, I certainly can't give any credence to that.

by hauntedattics on Tue Nov 20th, 2001 at 10:10:02 AM PST
are just the patriarchy's attempt to appease the masses hungry for such collectives as you describe in your post. By showing the princess as having powers that are generally attributable to males (and Keanu Reeves), they 'throw a bone' to those of us who fight for true equality on our own terms. The fact that the princess has to have "male" powers in order to be validated shows the the cynicism and manipulative capabilities of the creators of the film. This may appease some of us, but I must say those of us who are enlightened see through all the oppression.

You are right. Shrek SUCKED! (none / 0) (#15)
by Anonymous Reader on Thu Nov 15th, 2001 at 12:06:37 AM PST
Shrek was all wrong. First of all, shrek was the wrong colour. It clearly states in Monster Manual, Third edition, that Ogres are, and i quote: "yellowish-brown to tan in color, standing 7-8 feet tall". The ogre in Shrek was friggin' GREEN! and had these like stalks! sticking out of his head! What was he, an Andorian?1?! LOL!

Second of all, Shreks' girlfrieind, was obivously a shape-changing ogre mage, level 7 at least. She could easily have used a teleport spell to escape a simple castle. Expecting her to remain captive like that is just streching the bounds of credability a LITTLE to far!

Third of all, according to the monster Manual, third ed., a dragon of the size shown in the movie (about 40-50 feet long, by my estamite), would clearly be a huge size, very old or ancient dragon. Such a beast would definitely have speech abilites, it would probably speak common tounge, dragonish and ogrish too! Instead,the dragon in the movie didn't say a word! what was it, a dyslexic Dragon?!?

This commercialization of classic themes in the movies is getting way out of hand. With Shrek, we have an example of what could have been a great film, and they have to go and dumb it down for the kiddie crowd. Plus, you dont get to see cartoon Cameron Diaz' tits, like my (lying bastard) friend Murray said was in the movie. Overall a complete waste of time.

P.S. is there any nudity in the DVD?

It doesn't make sense. Something else must be going on in this movie, and your postmodern deconstructed lit-crit bullshit hasn't caught it. I think we have to face the very distinct possibility that this film is part of the global fascist conspiracy's propaganda effort.

by Anonymous Reader on Fri Nov 16th, 2001 at 01:27:29 AM PST
Could it possibly be that they set out to take a dig at Disney while at the same time try to make a profit? Astonishing. This movie was most definately a parody of disney films and 90% of what the author of this article noticed is complete bs. For example, when did the movie say that Shrek was Irish? It didn't. Yes this is the same poor Scottish accent found in Austin Powers but that doesn't mean they're trying to paint Irish people as some stupid, green wearing people. This was a kids movie designed to be fun for them while still entertaining their parents. It accomplished this goal pretty well.

As a side note, why would you buy this video if you haven't seen it before? That make littel sense to me at all. I don't know anyone that goes out buying movies when they don't even know if they like them first.

If you looked deeply enough at any cartoon, you could find something to twist into a woman-oppressing, animal-harming, subliminal message.

Get over Shrek. I'm sure it's not going to stain any developmental or feminist fabric by the time it's made it's run. Children wonder why the princess didn't save herself. It turns out that she wasn't beautiful for her size 3 (size 10 in the US, I suppose) waist, or for her pretty blonde hair. That could be looked at as something good, if you fear chidren learn anything substantial from cartoons. The point of the princess was to twist the story into a surprise ending. That would have been difficult if the writers had been politically correct from the start and made the dwarves tall, the princess masculine, and the ogre an impecible, clean-shaven non-orgrous ogre.
