Looking forward to Chinese style Mulan

Although the film was produced by Disney, it is very much in line with the customs of the old society in China. Men are superior to women, men protect their homes and the country, and daughters respect the four virtues. There are also the fairy spirits of the Hua family, the respect of the matchmaker and father to the gods, the little cricket praying for blessings, the Mushu dragon, and the dragon is also a Chinese symbol, all of which have strong Chinese characteristics.
In terms of character modeling, he draws on the painting form of Chinese painting to describe the spirit, and outlines the character, temperament, spirit and demeanor with a few simple strokes. The background of the film also uses a large number of freehand ink paintings, combining virtual and real, and combining meticulous and ink painting. The artistic conception is far-reaching and rich in oriental charm. It brings a very elegant and fresh feeling to people as a whole. The colors are light and comfortable. The evil side of the Huns uses a lot of variegated colors such as black, gray, brown, etc., while the right side uses colors with higher solid colors, such as strong red for the moustache, forming a strong contrast. The character modeling skillfully uses the strong contrast between character and appearance to deepen the audience's impression. For example, although Mulan is a daughter, her character is uneasy about three observances and four virtues, and she wants to prove that she is the ancestor of the Hua family. Jin Bao, who is tall in appearance, is kind and meek, and Ah Yao, who is short, is rude and arrogant, and so on.
There are many shining points in the film. Although there are some discrepancies compared with "Mulan Ci", these discrepancies can give the audience another perspective to appreciate Mulan. The appearance of Musu has brought many ridicules. Mulan was exposed to her daughter, making the story turn around, and the audience's mood fluctuated with it. In the end, Mulan saved the country personally, further shaping Mulan's heroic image. The story is not only humorous, but the touching moment when Mulan joined the army on behalf of her father, and the tragic situation of the Huns trampling on the village, makes people feel uneasy..... It is the most successful part of the film that it is mixed with a little love. The ingredients make the film add a lot of warmth and romance. These are very few domestic animations.
Although Disney’s Mulan is trying to show the classical charm of China, but after all, it is a foreign production and cannot perfectly copy the Chinese-style Mulan. Mulan in the film has a strong personal heroism and a strong family concept, etc. All of them are debatable, and the implicit and introverted Chinese traditions are completely forgotten. But after all, the film is a success, these are worth learning for Chinese people, and I look forward to the Chinese-style Mulan being presented in front of everyone.

    Unfortunately (same as "Kung Fu Panda") is made in the United States! —— 1. The Musulong voiced by Chen Peisi is really good (lucky cricket is also great), So, it is not recommended to watch the sequel of the DVD release of "Mulan", lest the bad behavior in "2" makes you like Mu The people of Xu Long feel a little disgusted; 2. Now there is really no way to ignore the logic of the second half of the story like I did when I was a child. It's a bit of a slap, although it's pretty good-looking;... -15.08.25

    Although it lacks some creativity, the core of this movie is very strong. A woman in the feudal era can win glory for the family without the need for three obediences and four virtues. Disney is too good at choosing themes.

    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.

  • Mulan: [Mulan and Mushu escape back to shore from Yao, Ling, and Chin-Po] Boy, that was close.

    Mushu: No...

    Mushu: [brushes his teeth] That was vile! You owe me big.

    [Mushu squirts more toothpaste in his mouth and brushes again]

    Mulan: I never want to see a naked man again.

    [a big group of naked men run past them, laughing]
