I don't think Mulan is a bad movie

I didn't think Mulan was as bad as everyone said. Everyone scolds Mulan for being ugly, for various reasons, ugly makeup, fake special effects, and even the fact that the background of the war is not in line with history and Disney's blasphemy against oriental culture? The bottom line is that Chinese audiences have high expectations and overinterpretation of the film.

I think, when you watch Mulan, please watch it with the setting that this is a Disney cartoon changed to a live-action version. This is not a movie with war and oriental culture as its themes, it is a simple Disney princess Themed movie!

We have seen so many Disney princess movies, cute and kind, beautiful and innocent, aren't these enough? Disney's audience is also mostly teenagers. This movie teaches teenagers to be loyal, kind, and true. Isn't this theme very good. Why can Disney be pure and beautiful when making other princess movies, and Mulan must meet the high requirements of all political and cultural Chinese people?

The external network has received rave reviews of Mulan. I have read some of the most forwarded comments, most of which are based on the setting of independent women who appreciate Mulan in the movie, so this movie is a simple education for teenagers, or for women. Independent high social value advocacy is very meaningful.

Also, I watched this movie in a movie theater, and I have nothing to say to those viewers who watched the pirated version online and then gave bad reviews. If you watch pirated movies in China while accusing Disney of vilifying the image of the Chinese people, isn't this a bit of a self-contradiction?
