"Mulan" is a cartoon produced by the United States based on Chinese stories, creating the image of Mulan and Chinese people in the eyes of Americans. The film tells us the story of a Hua Mulan who joined the army for her father. The content of the film is somewhat different from the classical Chinese "Mulan Ci" learned in high school. First, Mulan in the text has always been a "man" in the army. It was only after the meeting with friends that he revealed that he was a daughter, and Mulan in the film was exposed in the army. The plot of saving the emperor in the end was also narrated in the form of a daughter. Such an adaptation added drama to life in the army, and rescued the emperor through her daughter. The comrade-in-arms saving the emperor undoubtedly raised the status of Chinese women, expressing praise for the brave and fearless characters of Chinese women; secondly, there is a passage in the text describing the scene when Mulan returned from defeating her victory: "The mother heard the girl came, and went out to help the general; When sister Wen comes, I will put on my red makeup; my younger brother, Sister Wen, comes and sharpens my knives to pigs and sheep. Open the door of my east pavilion, sit on my bed in the west pavilion, take off my war-time robe, and wear my old-time clothes. When the window cares about my temples, yes The mirror is yellow." This exciting and lively scene is not reflected in the film. The number of characters reduced by the director emphasizes the depth of Mulan's relationship with her father. At the end of the film, the general pursues Mulan to her home and brings a simple girl to the house. The hero's story is adapted into a love story, adding a bit of romance.
The adaptation of "Mulan" has given a lot of inspiration to Chinese films. It was originally a story that took place in China, but it was discovered and developed by foreign filmmakers. Its artistic value, and from its ratings and box office, it is undoubtedly inspired by Chinese stories. Adapted into a successful animation, the film was released in 1998. At that time, the animation foundation and advanced technical means possessed by the United States were beyond the reach of our country. Therefore, technological innovation and application are extremely important to the development of Chinese films, and the exploration of film themes And bold practice is also very important to the development of animation in our country.
Finally, I think if "Mulan" is an animation adapted by the Chinese themselves, the characters in the film will not be so ugly (through the image of the film, you can see the impression of foreigners on the appearance of Chinese people), which is different from Disney's previous animation. Compared with cartoons such as "Snow White" and "Sleeping Beauty", the characters in "Mulan" can be said to be emmmmm very ugly.
