Shrek Forever After: The Final Chapter

Shrek Forever After revolves around the idea that you do not know what you have until it is gone. In the movie, Shrek makes a contract deal with Rumplestiltskin to have one day, 24 hours to regain the feeling of being a real ogre again, in exchange for Rumple to have a day of Shrek's life that he does not remember. He tells Shrek to pick a day in the time of his infancy to make it easy. In that day, Shrek finds the enjoyment of scaring the townspeople, but comes to realize soon after that he and all other ogres are being hunted by witches. While Rumple was in Shrek's past, he picked the day Shrek was born, ultimately erasing Shrek from existence. In doing so, Shrek was not present to rescue Fiona and pursue all the actions leading to the events up to this film. The day that Shrek was sent to, was in an alternate universe where ogres were being hunted, Rumplestiltskin was king, and Donkey, Fiona, Puss, and all the other side characters did not know who Shrek was. So throughout the film, he must teach each character that he knows who they are, and they, in turn, knew him in their alternate life. In a course of events, Donkey helps Shrek realize that only true loves kiss will render Rumple's contract void. So, he tries to teach Fiona that they are lovers, however she is a badass who is leading the ogres in a resistance against Rumplestiltskin. So, it is hard for Shrek, but he prevails, and in the end receives a kiss from Fiona as he is withering away after the 24 hours are coming to an end. Which, fixes everything as the contract said. What I relate to in this film is that you really do not know what you have until it is gone. I lost my father and it was very hard to come to realization that he was gone. The impact of not even getting to say goodbye really hit me when I heard the words, "Your father is gone."
