This was yet another popular movie. People has recommended this movie. I did a online booking for this movie 6 hours before the show. And alas, I found a pair of good cinema seats still available in Marina Square. The timing of the movie release couldn't have been more perfect. A long weekend due to Vesak Day and the start of the school holidays made the theatres filled with both adults and children.
Whilst I could understand why a DreamWorks Animation show was well received by children, I have to watch the movie to comprehend why adults would love it too. Shrek Forever After 'sells' Shrek leading a normal man's family life - a wife, 3 children and the normal routine activities that has come to bore him. Eventually, he decides to offer a day of his childhood in exchange for feeling like a real ogre again. The plot then takes us to see how he quickly regrets that decision and try to make right of what is left.
That plot couldn't have better reflected how life actually is - we seldom treasure what we often have, lamenting the current situation. And when we decide to make a switch, only then we realise what we have lost. I liked that this movie has assisted to reinforce my life's principles - to treasure the existence of each day and to appreciate the little thoughts due to each love. Seriously, my life couldn't have been more perfect.
