    Be true to your heart - a journey to find yourself

    It is not difficult to find throughout the whole film that this is a journey of Mulan to find herself.

    From the failure of Mulan's blind date at the beginning of the film, to being rejected by her teammates when she first arrived in the military camp, and then being driven away by General Li when...

    Notes

    Those lines I love:

    Three and a half. From the beginning of the ink painting, the background is full of strong Chinese style, and the American painters are very sincere to learn to show the scenes and pictures with oriental characteristics. Mulan's character is very similar to Xu Xian who Ye Tong reversed. The dissatisfaction lies in the depiction of the war. The great prospect of thousands of the Huns assault is very good, but they were dissolved by the avalanche caused by gunpowder hundreds of years in advance, and the two armies lost the possibility of fighting. The most dissatisfied is that Xiongnu Shanyu went directly to assassinate the emperor, which is too unreasonable.

    When I was a child, I felt that the appearance of the heroine was very stereotyped, and the palace was very funny. Rewatching it now, I feel very moved, and the script is written very solidly and seriously. Artists have worked hard, and it has the style of traditional Chinese classic cartoons, which is very meaningful. The character design of Mulan in it is so lovable, quiet, brave, intelligent, independent, yet naive and childish, a bit like the heroine of a Hayao Miyazaki movie, but more hearty and sometimes more off-line. The moment when I took off the male lead's arrow and sat on the pillar to laugh was so beautiful, it made my blood boil. And after re-reading, I think that Mulan's painting is actually quite beautiful, with long and narrow phoenix eyes, not squinting.

Mulan quotes

  • Mulan: Who are you?

    Mushu: Who am I? Who am I? I am the guardian of lost souls! I am the powerful, the pleasurable, the indestructible Mushu!

    [revealing himself]

    Mushu: Oh. Ha, ha. Pretty hot, huh?

  • Shan-Yu: I tire of your arrogance, old man. Bow to me!

    The Emperor of China: No matter how the wind howls, the mountain cannot bow to it.

    Shan-Yu: Then you will kneel in *pieces*!
