A final determination was never reached, since Neski was killed (reportedly by his wife in Hotel Brecker in Berlin, determined at the time to be a murder-suicide) during negotiations for a meeting.For he was the bravest, and most handsome in all the land.And it was destiny that his kiss would break the dreaded curse.Effeminate, narcissistic Prince Charming (voice of Rupert Everett) rode out of one of the pages to the castle, where he approached the highest room in the tallest tower to enter the Princess"" chambers to kiss her.It wasn""t nominated for either Best Picture (won by the short, unassuming romantic dramaMarty (1955)) or Best Director for Nicholas Ray....You used to believe that a single kiss could solve everything." As she was leaving, she abruptly turned and kissed Shrek, but then wiped off her mouth.The kiss was ineffective to rescue everyone - because it wasn""t really "true love""s kiss." Fiona had become disillusioned over the years waiting for a true love "that never came" in the miserable tower of the dragon""s keep ("It""s all just a big fairy tale").
