MuLan

It's just a movie. It has nothing to do with history or discrimination. What we need to pay attention to is only the movie itself, the storyline, the characterization and the details. The following is just my opinion

The Hua Mulan in my mind is what she looks like in the movie. The yellow skin and single eyelid are neither fat nor thin, not amazing but also very delicate. Although she is a daughter, she has a lively and reckless temperament, and her actions are also unique, and she is completely a man's heart. Short hair can be completely cooler than boys, and long hair fluttering can be gentle and considerate than girls.

What courage and determination must it be for Hua Mulan to join the army on her father's behalf. In the training of high pressure in the military camp, she did not give up because she was a girl. On the contrary, she worked harder. She had to work harder than others to catch up with them.

Because she is a girl, her mind should always be more delicate. After the major general was scolded, he said, "I think you are the best major general."

In the face of strong enemies, outsmarting is the most sensible approach. Said that Hua Mulan will only play small and clever, I am afraid that she will not use her brain, and she will be wiped out when she encounters bigger problems.

Let's talk about Mushulong, it and Cricket and Ma really contracted the laughing point of the whole play. Isn’t that what cartoons should be like? There are some good friends who have been by Mulan’s side all the time. Although they sometimes embarrass and make jokes, they always come forward at critical moments and help Mulan solve one problem after another. Imagine if Mushulong really woke Shitoulong to accompany Mulan, I think the movie should be renamed. Once Shitoulong appeared, what would Mulan do?

And the factor of Dinis is also very strong. If there is a disagreement, he sings. Sometimes some emotions don't have to be expressed in words, but singing is fine.

I really like the ending so much, the contrast between the emperor who is not afraid of danger and Mulan's hug is cute. There are also Yao and others who are concubines, and they can open their minds. All in all, my wife really liked this movie.

    Twenty-two years after its release, I rewatched it. I didn't want to watch it back then because foreigners liked to draw phoenix eyes, and they called me bored. Unexpectedly beautiful. The setting of the father-daughter connection is very good. The Chinese say that fathers love their daughters and mothers love their sons. I have seen many situations that are true. The souls of the ancestors in the film (the so-called ancestral tablets), this arrangement is really awesome, Taiwan folks call it "the table of gods". One of the screenwriters is a Chinese woman, which may be the credit. It was really funny when the monk appeared, holding the soldier shaking and saying Amitabha, laughing. The composition of the big scene is really good and powerful enough. The appearance of Mushulong is really a miracle. Crickets and horses are also good. A lot of memes are funny. In the end, Mulan's three military brothers dressed up as women. This is not only creative, but also a kind of gender subversion. It means equal rights, but it is not preachy at all! This artistic difficulty is very precious and natural. It doesn't matter if it is not interpreted in terms of equal rights, it is funny if it is funny. Incorporating musicals into the film is also creative, but then I forgot to make music arias, which is a small disadvantage. The film is quite short, only 80 minutes, but it is rich and full without fat and water. Many films over 90 minutes should probably be rethought.

Mulan quotes

  • Grandmother Fa: Great. She brings home a sword. If you ask me, she should've brought home a man.

    Shang: Excuse me. Does Fa Mulan live here?

    [Grandmother and Mother dumbly point to the garden]

    Shang: Thank you.

    Grandmother Fa: Whoo! Sign me up for the next war.

  • Fa Li: I should have prayed to the ancestors for luck.

    Grandmother Fa: How lucky can they be? They're dead. Besides, I've got all the luck we'll need.

    [to Cri-Kee]

    Grandmother Fa: This is your chance to prove yourself.
