Fiona, however, learns that her beauty comes not from being loved because of her beauty, but being loved so much that she becomes beautiful in the eyes of those who love her. Shrek realizes that in order for him to love himself, he has to admit that he loves someone who probably won't love him in return. However, their story reveals intimate truths about one another to themselves that, to me, create an incredibly important depiction of love. However, Shrek is convinced that Fiona cannot possibly love him, and Fiona wishes to marry someone who will make her normal in response. The two eventually meet and begin to fall in love with each other. Fiona also spent her life in isolation because she was too ugly to be part of the rest of the world, but Fiona has faith that the part of her that makes her ugly will go away if someone will love her.
Shrek has lived his life in isolation because society thinks he's too ugly to part of it, and after a while, he became okay with that. It teaches people that they aren't complete until someone else loves them.īut what makes Shrek so captivating to me is that its depiction of love is multidimensional. It's cutesy and romantic and like a real life fairy tale and it's incredibly whitewashed to the point that it's almost sanitized of anything that looks like what real love is like. Movies like "Titanic" and "The Notebook" have always really frustrated me because their depiction of love seems so shallow to me.
