Summary: The DreamWorks' animated film, "Shrek 2," is billed as harmless entertainment but contains subtle sexual messages.
Parents who are thinking about taking their children to see "Shrek 2", may wish to consider the following: The movie features a male-to-female transgender (in transition) as an evil bartender. The character has a five o'clock shadow, wears a dress and has female breasts. It is clear that he is a she-male. His voice is that of talk show host Larry King.
During a dance scene at the end of the movie, this transgendered man expresses sexual desire for Prince Charming, jumps on him, and both tumble to the floor.
In another scene in the movie, Shrek and Donkey need to be rescued from a dungeon where they are chained against the wall. The rescue is conducted by pinnochio who is asked to lie so his nose will grow long enough for one of the smaller cartoon characters to use it as a bridge to reach Shrek and Donkey. Donkey encourages him to lie about something and suggetsts he lie about wearing women's underwear. When he denies wearing women's underwear, his nose begins to grow.
An earlier scene in the movie features a wolf dressed in grandma's clothing and reading a book when Prince Charming encounters him. Later, one of the characters refers to the wolf's gender confusion.
TVC's report "A gender Identity Disorder Goes Mainstream" explains the transgender agenda and the effort to deconstruct the biological reality of male and female. DreamWorks is helping in this effort by promoting cross dressing and transgenderism in this animated film.
Did I say that transgenderism, which is being taught within California schools, was part of Shrek 2? No, I did not. I added that to further empahsize that there are elements within society that are promoting the mental disorder of crossdressing/transgenderism, and that schools are now being made a part of that agenda.
I don't see how people can't tell the difference between "Shrek" and "Lady & the Tramp".
HUGE difference. 1 is completely innocent. The other isn't.
Actually I should have said, Did I say that what is going on in Calif. schools, is it addressed within Shrek 2? and no it isn't. But the same message(transgenderism) is being promoted within both arenas.
"You can click to the TVC website, and look at "A Gender Identity Disorder Goes Mainstream" As well, Gender-Identity-Disored/Cross dressing are still considered mental disorders by the American Psychiatric Association, though the APA, probably, will sooner-or-later change that."
Nice to be warned about a "movie" however, our children are required to accept this in the public school system. They are required to now live with it in their day to day lives.
"Don't forget the glorification of ogres lving in swamps. It's all part of the Swamp Dwellers' Agenda to make their lifestyle choices seem "mainstream" [/end of 'some people have too much time on their hands and need to get a life' sarcastic rant]"
LOL! Those damn Swamp Dwellers and their evil agendas!! I agree with your rant.
Oh please, we went through this when the movie first came out. That's not a transgender "she-male," that's one of Cinderella's ugly (and I do mean UuuuuG-LAY!) stepsisters.
Transgenderists ridicule themselves by behaving the way they do, with their mental condition and all. Why do they need anyone else to ridicule them?
"Nowadays we're see genuine gays, and we're supposed to respect and LOVE that sequined dress on you! "
Who says we're 'supposed to'? I either turn the channel, don't see the movie, or simply laugh at them. Don't let 'them' (?) tell you what you can and cannot laugh AT.
I direct you to post 19, which tells a bit about the difference between then & now.
Not necessarily Shrek 2, cuz I haven't seen it, but it wouldn't surprise me at all since I've seen the 1st. Not to mention knowing of all the other "kid" movies in the last 10 years or so. PC, anti-American, and just plain rude, crude and crass. Not very child-like to me.
I am not a number, I am a FREE MAN!
You mean Ter-AAAAAAAAY-za Heinz-Kerry in "Tootsie."
Right?
Yes, kids within many schools are now required to be subjected to learning all about the mental disorder of transgenderism.
OK, I'll bite here.
How exactly is Shrek "anti-American"?
Please, enlighten me on this one...
You are making excellent points. This is my criticism as well. Now there is real purpose/motive behind much of this stuff and that purpose is to make it mainstream and considered normative. There is a reason this stuff is being put in movies that are being marketed to children. I do, however, disagree with your comment that no innocent adult movies have been made in years. "Driving Miss Daisy," among others, was fine. Another, even with the adulterous scenario, was "The Horse Whisperer." I'm sure I could come up with others, but that'll do for now.
But wouldn't it be nice to have a truly nice movie for a change? Something that isn't going to offend any1, and that you don't have to worry about kids accidentally seeing?
That's esp. why I'm an old-movie fan. They don't offend me. (Unless they're just plain bad!) I wouldn't be afraid of my nieces or nephews turning them on or walking in on them.
"I added that to further empahsize that there are elements within society that are promoting the mental disorder of crossdressing/transgenderism, and that schools are now being made a part of that agenda."
Sorry, but any male who wears female clothing will always be ridiculued, no matter how worried you are about the subject.
I said kid movies IN GENERAL. (Not to mention all movies in general in my lifetime.)
Mental disorders, like transgenderism and crossdressing, should not be promoted as harmless fun, because they aren't. Back when some movies were made, showing crossing for instance, society wasn't a decade or two away from accepting them like it is now.
