Bad movies that stars can't save

My expectations are not very high, but after more than two years of waiting, this rubbish script has no sincerity. Probably because I'm too familiar with Mulan's animations. Looking at it calmly now, they did not do their due diligence to complete the deconstruction and reconstruction of the script, and made a lot of "seemingly necessary" deletions and additions to the established script. Deleted are soul roles (such as grandma, mushu, worms, and various friendships of several big men), Mulan's rebellion (she goes against the original environment, against the women's private school, and against the adaptation process of military life) Conflict with her father since childhood (because Mulan surpassed a man's fear of life and death and the righteousness of the family and country, and because her father missed her daughter day and night, she was finally reconciled when she joined the army on her father's behalf). Disney's visual effects are nothing to say, but the thin plot and deliberately contrived story line, you will find that this movie does not even have the patience to let the audience experience a complete story line in addition to Mulan's feelings. I feel like I just watched a beautiful qigong master who opened up, how to hang and beat the army. . . (Is there a qigong fan from the screenwriter?)

The added role is only Gong Li, the embarrassing magician witch. The emotion of the character can't even be said to be facialized, it's simply broken. In the whole drama, in addition to a Chinese version of Wonder Woman, how many impressions do you have?

Apart from being distressed for my favorite Tianxian, Gong Huang and Li Jie, this movie is not worthy of me and anyone around me contributing to the box office. For dozens of dollars, I'd better buy popcorn!

It turns out that letting foreigners make Chinese films (note: live-action films here!) is a last resort. Shame and throw it home!

    Thirty-five knives are not distressed, beautiful, and portrayed many beautiful scenery in China. The colors are bright. Except for Mulan, the costumes of other characters are weird, especially the emperor...

    Its feminism may lie in Mulan's ability to fight as a woman with long hair. The setting of "Qi" seems to externalize discrimination. The witch played by Gong Li is another opposite of Mulan (at least she doesn't suppress her Qi and female identity). ), in this sense, the witch is not a villain, more like a guide. But after I said so much, I still have to scold: Why is it so ugly? Why so ugly!

Mulan quotes

  • Hua Li: We have excellent news! The matchmaker has found you an auspicious match.

    Hua Zhou: It is decided. Come and sit down. It is what is best for our family.

  • The Matchmaker: Quiet, composed, graceful, elegant, poised, polite. These--are the qualities we see in a good wife. These--are the qualities--we see in Mulan. When a wife serves her husband, she must be--silent. She must be... invisible.
