Transcript

Shrek an Ogre that lives by himself on his swamp is rudely disturbed by many fairy tale creatures that have been dumped their by Lord Farquaad. Shrek goes to the castle to get the "Lord" to get them off his property but instead he first has to save a princess for Farquaad from a fiery Dragon if he wants his land back. So he saves her and Donkey tags along for the ride and once they save her Shrek and Fionna (the princess) slowly fall in love. They have to defeat Farquaad and Fionna accepts her true form, an Ogre. Shrek and Fionna get married and live happily ever after.

When Shrek and Donkey first met they both find each other strange and very different. As the movie progresses they learn about themselves and the other person and gain respect for one another.

This would teach a child to respect and be understanding of different ethnicities, cultures, and customs.

Additionally Shrek and Lord Farquaad have two starch ideas of each other and think of the other as disgusting and grotesque. They gain somewhat of a mutual respect for one another.

A child would learn to tolerate their nemesis and have respect.

Shrek

Values

The values in Shrek are

  • courage
  • friendship
  • love

Shrek is courageous by going into the castle, and saving the Princess. Shrek and Donkey display friendship by relying, depending, and supporting each other. Love is displayed in the movie, because Shrek and Fiona love eachother despite their differences

Sociological Concepts

Three possible sociological concepts to emphasize are the roles of discrimination,courage and friendship throughout the story.

  • How does the group being discriminated against deal with it?
  • How is courage portrayed in Shrek?
  • How does discrimination impact the movie?
  • How does friendship and love intertwine?

Background

Socializing Message

These questions are too complicated for a child to understand, but are and underlying message of the movie.

Movie: Shrek

Release Date: April 22, 2001

Shrek aims to teach children lessons such as

  • Not judging someone by first impression/looks
  • Being Yourself
  • Standing up for yourself

Standing Up

First impressions/looks

Being Yourself

In the movie Fionna struggles with accepting her true identity(an Ogre). As the movie progresses and she is with Shrek she learns to be herself.

Children can learn from Fionna and accept who they are. No matter who or where or what is going on in their life. They learn to be true to themselves

When Shrek and Fionna's Father met for the first time everything was tense and Fionas father was not happy about her choice in marriage. As the movie progressed Shrek showed bad sides of himself that not even Fiona had seen. He was making King Harolds first impression reality. By the end of the movie Shrek ended up standing up for himself to prove to the King that Ogres were not bad and were just perceived that way. This example mixes in with First impression/looks.

Ethnic groups

In Shrek, Ogres and fairy tales tend to be discriminated against by the Townspeople. Since, Shrek doesn't have equal rights like a person, he must go save a princess to get his land back.

Applied to our life

In life people are always trying to take advantage of you. In Shrek, the King makes him do an outrageous quest to get his land back. However, it ends up working better for Shrek, for he falls in love and makes best friends.

Outline

Gender Roles

In Shrek, gender roles are very specific in the beginning. Shrek is a noble night going to rescue a princess in a tower for a king. However, as the movie progresses, we find out that Fiona has crazy karate skills. Normally women aren't thought as fighters.

This helps show kids that they can be anything they want to be and doesn't matter if you are a boy or a girl.
