I can’t believe it was a movie of 98 after watching

The biggest feeling after watching this is that this is a movie from 1998? ? ? exm? ? ? It’s really good. I really like this Mulan taken by Disney at the time. The first is that there are many Chinese elements in it. The initial ink painting, the setting of the characters such as Mushu Dragon. In Chinese traditional culture, Mulan’s filial piety for her father is a manifestation of filial piety, while in Disney’s remake, what I see is thinking about self. From a small person to a hero who influences victory. Mulan joined the army for her father and performed honor, courage and women's awakening, Eastern stories, and values ​​of the world. It is the duty of the nation to protect the home and the country, which makes people cry while laughing. A person with a sense of honor and courage, no matter how far away, will definitely be loved and respected.

ps~The supporting role, the little fire dragon, is cute~

    7.5 points. The animated version of "Mulan" is a successful cultural appropriation. The form (character modeling, setting of the scene) has fully borrowed from traditional Chinese art, and the spiritual core is still a Western story. Gao Zan's short comment romanticizes this point: "Imagine A classical China that has experienced the Renaissance and Enlightenment is the dream given to us by this movie.” In addition to its respect for Chinese culture, Chinese audiences who prefer traditional or modern values ​​will not feel offended; the live-action version of "Flower" "Mulan" is a failed cultural hybridization. It wants to be accepted by Western audiences and also caters to Chinese audiences. It not only introduces the Chinese visual wonders of the world, but also squeezes the decadent and declining traditional Chinese values. Chinese audiences who prefer traditional values ​​will be dissatisfied. Because of its nondescript and authenticity, Chinese audiences who are inclined to modern values ​​will be dissatisfied with its promotion of loyalty and filial piety. From the animated version to the live-action version, what should be kept is not reserved, and what should not be changed is changed. Such a deformed monster should be thrown into Zhang Yimou's "The Great Wall" and be beaten to death by the Chinese and Western coalition forces.

    Borrowing Chinese signs and cultural symbols as a cover, the content is still modern consciousness. The exaggerated behavior in the film can be explained by comedy, but a closer look at the art may still stay on the surface. The style of figure painting also tends to be tough, but it is a more modern adaptation. The division of the pros and cons of the characters is also positively related to the light and dark styles, which has been somewhat stereotyped up to now.
