    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.

Which reminds me, Issac, can you do the history of Shrek (2001) how Jeffery Katzenberg made this film to make fun of disney and how it became popular and why shrek became more successful than the prince of egypt (1998)?

    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.

    I recently played the Sugar Plum Fairy and Gingy (despite the fact I CANNOT riff to save my life) in Shrek: The Musical. Our Farquaad was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!! The humour, the mannerisms, absolutely perfect. Aside from the fact that he is 6’ 4”...

  • @carolinedestefano5071
    @carolinedestefano5071 4 года назад +12

    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? (My apologies if this has already been mentioned)

      Not really a double standard tbh. The Magic Mirror isn’t really a living creature per se, and, unlike the other Fairy Tale Creatures, it’s actually useful to him.

    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.

  • @elderliddle2733
    @elderliddle2733 Год назад +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.

  • @jennifermoody6987
    @jennifermoody6987 8 месяцев назад +6

    So Farquaad was actually a mini Hitler in a lot of ways😂😂 Which would make even more sense for him choosing Princess Fiona, because she was actually based on an old German story about Broomhilda and Siegfried, which actually is certainly depicted in the movie when Shrek goes to rescue her from her castle prison..

(Someone said they thought the fairy godmother abducted him and then corrupted his mind to think like her). If that’s the case, what if Farquaad had Charming as his heir or he was just related in some funny way? Their faces look kinda similar. 🤔 Idk. Just a thought. I really enjoy these discussions!
