Tenderness and sharpness

I revisited Hua Mulan. The first time I watched it was when I was in elementary school. My memory was vague, but I have not forgotten the spirit conveyed by the film. Of course, the right soundtrack added a lot of color to the film. Added a deeper sense of comedy. Speaking of content, Hua Mulan is a well-known story in China. She joined the army for her father, and a woman can hold up half the sky. This is an Acura story. The film also leaves this spiritual core and revolves around it from beginning to end.

  • Chinese Soldier: [after lighting the signal fire] Now all of China knows you're here.

    Shan-Yu: [lights a flag on the fire] Perfect.

  • Yao: [at the waterhole] Hey, Ping.

    Mulan: Oh, hi, guys. I didn't know you were here. I was just washing, so now I'm clean, and I'm gonna go. Bye-bye!

    Ling: Come back here! I knew we were jerks to you before, so, let's start over. Hi, I'm Ling.

    Chien-Po: And I'm Chien-Po.

    Mulan: Hello, Chien-Po.

    Yao: [standing naked on a rock] And I am Yao, king of the rock!

    [mildly sneering]

    Yao: And there's nuttin' you girls can do about it.

    Ling: Oh, yeah? Well, I think Ping and I can take you.

    Mulan: I really don't want to take him anywhere.

    Ling: Ping, we have to fight.

    Mulan: No, we don't. We could just... close our eyes... and - swim around...

    Ling: [pulling on Mulan's arm] Come on, don't be such a gir... Ouch! Something bit me!

    Mushu: Ugh! Ach! What a nasty flavor.

    Ling: Snake!

    [Ling and Chien-Po scramble onto the rock with Yao, while Mulan sneaks away]

    Ling: Some king of the rock.

    [Yao pushes him off]
