5 Mandy talks about the animated cartoon she likes. Read and answer the questions below
My favourite cartoon is Shrek 2. I really love it. It's about an ugly but lovable green ogre – that’s Shrek – who’s married to an ugly but lovable green Princess Fiona. They live in a swamp, but they go to see Fiona's parents in the Kingdom of Far, Far Away, which is really like a cross between Los Angeles, Hollywood and Disneyland. The king can’t accept Shrek as a son-in-law, and Shrek decides to drink a magic potion to make him handsome and Fiona beautiful. There's also a nasty Fairy Godmother and a horrible self-centred but fantastically handsome Prince Charming, her son, who wants to take Shrek's place and become Fiona's husband. In the end, of course, Shrek and Fiona are together again, as ugly as ever.
I think the point of the film is that if you love someone, it doesn't matter about the colour of his / her skin or look. When Fiona thinks that Prince Charming is Shrek, she can't fall in love with him, even though he is so good-looking. What matters is the character of the person. You know, in most Hollywood films, everyone is so attractive, and it is really nice to have ugly main characters. And although we live in a culture where everyone wants to be beautiful, when watching the film you don't want Fiona and Shrek to change – you want them to stay as they are.
And the film's great fun – it’s full of humour. I especially liked the Donkey (Eddie Murphy's voice). And
visually it's brilliant. The animation is unbelievable. It was directed by Andrew Adamson. Although it's a cartoon, the facial expressions of the characters are very realistic. There were plenty of moments where I had a good laugh, and the film leaves you with a smile on your face. I'm sure you're going to like it too.
1) What is the title? 2) What genre does it fit? 3) Who is the director? 4) Who are the main characters? 5) What are they like? 6) What is it about, in general? 7) What issues does it raise? 8) Did you like it? 9) How did the film make you feel? 10) Are the actors good in their parts? Why / Why not? 11) What did you like / dislike most? Why? 12) Would you recommend the film to your friends? Why / Why not?
