Typical American values

From this film, we can fully understand how Americans see China, such as dragon totem, yin and yang, arranged marriages, pandas, Danfeng eyes, bound feet and so on.

First of all, let’s not talk about the external aesthetics. In fact, it is relatively comfortable in Mulan 1. People who have been up to the emperor set up small soldiers and handyman. 1 gives people the feeling that it is acceptable and the taste is not bad. In 2 miles, the king of Qi Kingdom, the princess of the Han Dynasty, the acrobats, gangsters, and passersby felt uncomfortable, let alone.

Not to mention the appearance, I will say a few words about the inner part. In fact, many people in this film may not know that there is 2. It is estimated that the Americans are still a little guilty when looking at the film. The worst thing about this movie is the "spirit of contract." Political marriages have existed in human civilization, both in China and the West, and they may have existed today. It is not about washing the ground for political marriages. This thing cannot be said to be a good thing, but The "spirit of contract" is here. Alliances between nations are based on blood-related marriages. It is very common in ancient times. Because of the freedom of marriage, the three princesses confided in their guards to break their contracts without authorization. They said that the key treason, eldest sister, could it come to a happy ending casually? (The movie was so clever that it didn’t show the marriage of the three princesses at the end)

The three bachelors in the story are really ugly, a one-eyed Wu Dalang, a joke king with a sharp mouth and a big nose, and a bald man with a big waist. These three have been evaluated by people. All marriage agencies are unlikely to find a daughter-in-law. Lord, I will ask if you are a woman, do you marry? Haven't the bully princess met a man? This princess is too hungry, right? Is the taste a little heavier? Does the American think that Chinese women are cheap girls? At least for the length of the movie, I think it's too convincing to match the three princesses directly with the three guards. From the beginning, I didn't understand why three princesses are needed, and Mulan in the back can also be used. (By the way, I can see the translated version: The minister said to the king that Hua Mulan used "three heads to support Zhuge Liang". According to the age of this story, Zhuge Liang hasn't been born yet, it's not appropriate. Huh?) Concentrate on writing to escort a princess to the marriage, and let her fall in love with a guard in the middle, which will be much fuller than the current story.

Hua Mulan’s headgear is too difficult for the current story. The story that is a household name in China has been written in the first part. By the second part, it is too American and American arrogant. I think there are comments saying that it’s okay. Anyway, many of us don’t know that there is Mulan 2. The movie is too bad for us to see. I want to say that this is terrible. Everyone knows the influence of Hollywood and Disney in the world. This kind of crushing of the film industry is actually a kind of hidden cultural intrusion. It is not a movie for us Chinese, but the "prejudice" and "arrogance" against China in it are for people who have never been in contact with China, for children in the United States, and for ordinary people in other third countries, oh~~ ~, your China turned out to be like this. They had this in their initial impression of China. It is not that there will be no changes in the future, but what is the cost of preconceived thinking changes? Why do western countries all over the world have such big opinions on China now? Every bit of this has been glimpsed in the movie.

This movie has lost the level of Disney production and the depth of the script of Lost Mulan 1. The only thing worthy of it is the typical American values. There should be no 3.
