    There’s also the fact that because of his backstory it might’ve been one of the reasons why he didn’t choose Snow white. Because it would’ve meant having to confront his father who the magic mirror does show in passing when talking about her.
    Then you have Cinderella who was the other choice who to him wouldn’t be royal since she started out as a servant to her stepmother it makes sense then why he would’ve chosen Fiona.

  • @christianali5431
    @christianali5431 4 роки тому +84

    You know, in Lord Farquaad's defence, he was the 1st person to give Shrek an opportunity based on his capabilities, and not the way he looked. True, he probably explored the possibility that Shrek was going to die, and there would be one less fairytale creature (and an ogre, no less) in the world, but at the same time he saw something in Shrek that seemed to have a real chance of being successful. You know, a crueller man would have simply said "this ogre is too ugly to be my champion who will rescue my bride-to-be." But instead of that, Lord Farquaad decided "either he dies trying to save the Princess, and I never have to hear from him again, or he he actually does rescue the Princess and I never have to hear from him again because I gave him that swamp to live in."Also, an argument could be made that Some of Lord Farquaad's ancestors used to hold tournaments when they needed someone to do something on their behalf. Nothing that cruel there. Just tradition.

    He is based on the former Disney CEO Michael Eisner, as Jeffrey Katzenberg (one of the founders of DreamWorks and a former executive of Disney) holds some animosity towards Eisner for firing him in 1994 at the age of 43. Farquaad may also be based on the late Napoleon Bonaparte, due to being short, yet ruling with an iron fist and crowning himself to the king. He may also be based on the late Andrew Jackson, the 7th President of the United States as he forces fairytale creatures from their home while Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act in 1830 that led to the forced removal of the Indians of the Five Civilized Tribes called the Chickasaw, the Creek, the Seminole, the Cherokee, and the Choctaw.

      Napoleon was not actually short; he was actually of an average height for men during his time period. He was merely mocked as short by his enemies because, unlike other world leaders at the time, he didn’t use shoes and chairs to make himself seem taller.
      Also, the Andrew Jackson connection seems a bit flimsy. There is a similarity there, but I think it likely that the Filmmakers were going for more of a Hitler vibe. They obviously couldn’t show Fairy Tale creatures being enslaved or slaughtered onscreen, though, so they merely showed them being evicted from a “perfect” society.

    Ok so it's interesting to note; Farquaad hated fairy tale characters yet he utilized the magic mirror from the story of Snow White to seek out his "perfect queen". He couldn't have hated them that much if he utilized the magic mirror. Yes, the mirror was able to provide useful information past the kingdom of Duloc but still, Farquaad kept the mirror while he banished everyone else. Double standards much?

  • @elderliddle2733
    @elderliddle2733 Рік тому +4

    Farquaad wasn’t just trying to have a perfect world, he was also preparing for war. Think about it.
    Lords are sworn to the service of their king. So essentially by marrying a princess and having children with her, he could claim autonomy over his lands and bring in the wife’s kingdom as an ally to fight off his master. Likely, if he had married Fiona with no hiccups, Far Far Away would be force to participate in the war.

    The fact that we see the 7 dwarves in chains being led away in the scene that introduces Donkey and Pinocchio means that Farquaad had his father and uncles arrested and deported. I wonder if someone else turned them in and claimed money for them or if Farquaad himself told the knights where to round them up at.

    Do you notice on TV and movies, whenever there is a character who is a jerk or kind of pathetic/loser, they very often make him short and then make fun of him for being short as if being short is somehow connected to having character flaws.
    Shrek was an ugly ogre but he was the protagonist.
    Lord Farquad was a handsome, prince. Well how do you get the audience to hate him?
    Just make him short.
