怪物史瑞克

Shrek is an adaptation and subversion of classic fairy tales. In the original story, the beast turned into a handsome prince with the true love of the beauty. But in the movie, it reverses: the beautiful princess turned into an ugly beast after expressing her love toward Shrek. In addition, the dragon has a feminine character instead of a furious and destructive masculine figure. In fairy tales, the princess are always beautiful and will always find her Mr. Right, who’s bound to be handsome and charming. But in this way the character of the protagonists becomes fuzzy and far from the reality. On the contrary, this movie contains more human stuff. Magic or supernatural here aren’t that important, what matters is Shrek and Fiona themselves. Shrek wasn’t meant to save the princess; the princess wasn’t meant to fall in love with him either-but their own decisions brought them together. In the end, Shrek and Fiona, the two ugly ogres, lived happily-They are like all of us. This is not just make-believe. I bet most adults would appreciate this movie because they can see themselves-the imperfect yet unique ones-, which may account for the enormous success of the Shrek series.

Should all the princesses be pretty? Should all the princes be handsome? In Shrek, all the things are different! 所有的公主都应该是漂亮的吗？所有的王子都应该是英俊的吗？在《怪物史莱克》里面，都不是这么回事！——题记； In our imagination, all the creatures in fairy tales are perfect. The princesses are all beautiful and effeminacy; the princes are all tall and handsome (and they usually ride a white horse). The knights are cool, brave, loyal guys; the fairies are tiny little people. All the spells are evil; all the step-mothers are bad. In the past cartoons, everyone has a what-it-should-be face, and everything goes on a what-it-should-be way. But Shrek breaks them whole. 在我们的想象里，所有童话世界里的人物都应该是完美的。所有的公主的美丽而娇弱，所有的王子都高大而英俊，（他们通常都骑着白马），骑士都应该是冷酷、勇敢、忠诚的人，精灵都应该是超级小的人。所有的魔咒都是邪恶的，所有的继母都是坏的，在过去的卡通里，什么样的人有什么样的脸，所有的事情都照着模式发展。但是，《史莱克》打破了这一切。 The film begins with a typical Disney fairytale pattern, but such a romantic beginning is “destroyed” by Shrek’s big laugh. “That is not gonna happen! ”Yes, every mean-to-be thing is not gonna happen in Shrek. 电影以典型迪斯尼童话模式开始，但这个浪漫的开头被史莱克的大笑破坏了。“这是不可能发生的！”是的，所有想当然的事情都不会在《怪物史莱克》里发生。 The leading role is no longer a prince or a princess; instead, it is an ugly stink ogre. The princess who be cast a spell is not that effeminacy and beautiful. The prince (indeed a lord of a castle) is a person who is “in short supply”. The donkey is a chatter box, and the dragon is female. @_@ 主角不再是王子公主，取而代之的是一个丑陋的，浑身散发臭味的怪物；而被施了魔咒的公主也没那么漂亮娇弱；而王子（实际上只是个城堡主）是一个“供应短缺”（*注：经济学的词就用经济学的翻译）的人。驴子是个话匣子，喷火龙是个女生。 In the past fairy tales, spells are thought to be cast on prince, but in Shrek, the spell is cast on the princess. In the past fairy tales, people is enchanted to become ugly, but in Shrek, Fiona is enchanted to be beautiful. In the past fairy tales, dragons are terrible snake-like monster, but in Shrek, it is a lovely, friendly girl, and it (she) falls in love with the donkey. |||_||| 在过去的童话里，魔咒都施加在王子身上，而在《史莱克》里，魔咒施加在公主身上；在过去的童话里，被施了魔咒的人都会变丑，但在《史莱克》里，菲奥纳公主被施了“变漂亮”的魔咒；在过去的童话里，龙是可怕的蛇形怪物，但在《史莱克》里，它是可爱友好的女孩子，而且还和驴子坠入爱河…… “Ogres are like onions, They have layers.” Actually, People are the same. The way we know someone just like the way we peel the layers of onions. As we “peel” them layer by layer, we may come to find it quite different from what we see from the outside. The more layers we peels, the deeper we know about them. “怪物像洋葱，他们有层次。”实际上，人们也是一样。我们了解某人的方式就像我们剥洋葱皮。随着我们一层层地剥皮，我们会逐渐发现（我们所看到的）和从外面看到的完全不一样，我们剥的皮越多，我们对他们的了解就越深。 That makes me occur to the other movie Legally Blonde. In this movie, the situation of the heroine is opposite. People think little of her just because she is too blonde. Though Shrek and Legally blonde are quite different movies, they both tell us the same truth: We should not judge someone just by what he/she looks like, because it is not what he/she really is. 这让我想到了另一部电影《律政俏佳人》，在这部电影里，女主角的情况正好相反。人们不重视她只是应为她太漂亮。虽然《史莱克》和《律政俏佳人》是如此不同，但是他们都告诉我们同一个真理：我们不能靠外表来判断一个人，因为这不是他们真实的自己。

Shrek: Quick tell a lie! 史莱克：快点撒一个谎！ Pinocchio: What should I say? 皮诺曹：我该说什么？ Donkey: Say something crazy... like “I'm wearing ladies' underwear!”. 驴子：说一些疯狂的事情...像"我正穿着女人的内-裤"。 Pinocchio: Um, ok. I'm wearing ladies' underwear. 皮诺曹：嗯，好。我正穿着女人的内-裤。 Pinocchio: [silence] 皮诺曹：（沉默） Shrek: Are you? 史莱克：你正穿着(女人的内-裤)吗？ Pinocchio: I most certainly am not. 皮诺曹：我非常肯定没有穿着(女人的内-裤)。 Pinocchio: [nose extends] . 皮诺曹：（鼻子变长） Donkey: It looks like you most certainly am are. 驴子：这看起来就像你非常肯定穿着在。 Pinocchio: I am not. 皮诺曹：我没有。 Pinocchio: [nose extends] 皮诺曹：（鼻子变长） Gingerbread Man: IT'S A THONG! 姜饼人：它是一个皮带！ Gingy：Oww! They’re briefs. 姜饼人：噢！它们是短裤！ Pinocchio：Are not. 皮诺曹：不是！ GIngy：Are too! 姜饼人：是的！ Pinocchio：Are not. 皮诺曹：不是. Gingy：Are too! 姜饼人：是的！ 精彩对白 Prince Charming: You! You can't lie! Where is Shrek? Pinocchio: Well, uh, I don't know where he's not. Prince Charming: You don't know where Shrek is? Pinocchio: On the contrary, Prince Charming: So you do know where he is! Pinocchio: I'm possibly more or lenot definitely rejecting the idea that I undeniably… Prince Charming: Stop It! Pinocchio: Do or do not know where he shouldn't probably be. If that indeed wasn't where he isn't! 白马王子：你，你不能说谎！史莱克在哪儿？ 匹诺曹：呃，好吧，我不知道他不在哪里。 白马王子：你不知道史莱克在哪里？ 匹诺曹：正好相反。 白马王子：这么说来，你知道他在哪儿了！ 匹诺曹：我可能多多少少、不太确定、无法否认、不能拒绝…… 白马王子：闭嘴！ 匹诺曹：知道或不知道他可能不应该在哪里，也就是我确实不知道他不在哪里！ Donkey: [Donkey and Puin Boots have switched bodies] I've been abra-cadabra'd into a Fancy Feasting second-rate sidekick! Shrek: Donkey... Donkey: I feel all exposed and nasty! 驴子（驴子和穿靴子的猫互换了身体）：我竟然进入了这个我一直看不上的伙伴的身体里！ 史莱克：驴子…… 驴子：我感到无所遁形，极度肮脏！ Donkey: [seeing Shrek naked in the bed] Aahh! You know, you really need to get yourself a pair of jammies! 驴子（看到史莱克一丝不挂地躺在床上）：啊，你知道吗？你真的需要给自己穿上一条宽大的睡裤！ Puin Boots: [after Shrek throws Donkey out the door] Some people just don't understand boundaries. 穿靴子的猫（史莱克将驴子扔出了窗户）：有些人就是不知道什么叫做适可而止。
