Hallelujah in Shrek>every Xtian cover ever

Shrek is an inherently Jewish story about Jews not being able to own land (land under the domain of the king, this is an actual and factual thing that has happened in Jewish history), being seen as less than human, perhaps monstrous. “Shrek!” Is a children’s book by a Jewish author, “shrek” is a Yiddish word meaning “fear or fright.” While admittedly the book doesn’t have these same elements of the movie (Shrek’s parent’s kick him out) the movie legitimately makes perfect sense as a parable for antisemitism and anyways I like both Shrek and Leonard Cohen and hate Xtian covers of the song :)

“Shrek is an inherently Jewish story” is not the take I ever expected to read but damn if it isn’t interesting now that I think about it
