shrek marks the beginning of blockbuster metacommentary in cinema. as a film it's a deconstructive enterprise, concerned with the exploration of tropes through narrative (instead of narratives through tropes, as in the earnest blockbusters of the 20th century).
post-shrek media is obsessed with cinematic deconstruction: everything is a 're-imagining' of something already-existing. what if we made comic books into films? what if we made films that only exist to reference things from the 80s? what if we made ghostbusters again but with women/children? what if we made star wars with all the same characters but they're old or CGI and it doesn't make any sense?
the post-shrek cinematic mode is recursive instead of generative, always referring backwards to something which existed in the past. It attempts to subvert instead of originate.
