The hero of this movie is Shrek. He is a green monster. He lives in a marsh by himself. He does not have friends because people are afraid of him. However, he is actually very kind . The other main characters are Donkey, Princess Fiona and Lord Farquaad. The donkey is very talkative and scatterbrained. However, no matter what he does, it is hard to hate him. Princess Fiona is kept in a castle guarded by a dragon. She looks quiet, but actually she is not. She is very lively and strong. She is a very charming woman. Lord Farquaad is cunning. He wants to make an ideal country, so he catches many fairy tale characters. He wants to marry Princess Fiona to become a true king.

One day, Shrek saves the very talkative Donkey. Donkey is chased by soldiers. Lord Farquaad wants to make an ideal country, so he catches many fairy tale characters. That night, Shrek notices that many fairy tale characters which were banished by Lord Farquaad and are now around Shrek’s house. Shrek wants to return his house to the state of the original marsh, so he decides to go to meet Lord Farquaad with Donkey. They arrive at castle of Lord Farquaad. while he is holding a tournament to choose a person to rescue Princess Fiona because she is kept in a castle with a dragon. Lord Farquaad orders Shrek to rescue her from there. Shrek agrees because he wants to his swamp back. Shrek and Donkey arrive at the castle, and Shrek finds Princess Fiona. Donkey is caught by dragon, but isn’t killed because dragon likes Donkey. Shrek saves Donkey, and they all escape and succeed in running away safely. They hurry to castle of Lord Farquaad. Shrek makes friends with Princess Fiona while traveling. However, Princess Fiona has a secret. She is a person during the day, but she becomes an ogre while the sun is going down. She tries to confide in Shrek, but she can not. Shrek thinks that she dislikes him, but it is not true. Shrek’s feelings do not reach to Princess Fiona, and the feelings of Princess Fiona do not reach to Shrek. So, Princess Fiona goes to castle of Lord Farquaad. Donkey persuades Shrek to go to marriage ceremony of Lord Farquaad and Princess Fiona. Shrek and Donkey go to there, and they defeat Lord Farquaad. Shrek and Princess Fiona get married, and she becomes her true appearance. Donkey and many characters of fairy tale and dragon congratulate Shrek and Princess Fiona on their marriage.

This movie was very interesting. I like the friendship of Shrek and Donkey. Shrek did not have friends until he met Donkey. Shrek realized friendship for the first time by having met Donkey. I was impressed with their friendship. I thought that the marriage ceremony of Shrek and Princess Fiona was very splendid. They seemed to be very happy. My favorite character is Donkey because his behavior entertained me. This movie was very amusing. I enjoyed this movie very much.
