MuLan

It's just a movie. It has nothing to do with history or discrimination. What we need to pay attention to is only the movie itself, the storyline, the characterization and the details. The following is just my opinion

The Hua Mulan in my mind is what she looks like in the movie. The yellow skin and single eyelid are neither fat nor thin, not amazing but also very delicate. Although she is a daughter, she has a lively and reckless temperament, and her actions are also unique, and she is completely a man's heart. Short hair can be completely cooler than boys, and long hair fluttering can be gentle and considerate than girls.

What courage and determination must it be for Hua Mulan to join the army on her father's behalf. In the training of high pressure in the military camp, she did not give up because she was a girl. On the contrary, she worked harder. She had to work harder than others to catch up with them.

Because she is a girl, her mind should always be more delicate. After the major general was scolded, he said, "I think you are the best major general."

In the face of strong enemies, outsmarting is the most sensible approach. Said that Hua Mulan will only play small and clever, I am afraid that she will not use her brain, and she will be wiped out when she encounters bigger problems.

Let's talk about Mushulong, it and Cricket and Ma really contracted the laughing point of the whole play. Isn’t that what cartoons should be like? There are some good friends who have been by Mulan’s side all the time. Although they sometimes embarrass and make jokes, they always come forward at critical moments and help Mulan solve one problem after another. Imagine if Mushulong really woke Shitoulong to accompany Mulan, I think the movie should be renamed. Once Shitoulong appeared, what would Mulan do?

And the factor of Dinis is also very strong. If there is a disagreement, he sings. Sometimes some emotions don't have to be expressed in words, but singing is fine.

I really like the ending so much, the contrast between the emperor who is not afraid of danger and Mulan's hug is cute. There are also Yao and others who are concubines, and they can open their minds. All in all, my wife really liked this movie.

    The first time I finished reading it completely, I didn’t expect it to be unexpectedly smooth and interesting, and the most important thing is that the production team accurately grasped the core of the story of Hua Mulan: a woman who was not strong at the beginning was constantly overcoming her fear in the patriarchal society. And through hard work and mental intelligence to achieve personal growth and win the respect of others. And this is completely missing in today's Disney remake of the live-action version. ps: The two montages of Hua Mulan's decision to join the army for her father and the training of the army are both classics. The music is particularly brilliant, especially the latter. Even if it is replaced with the training montage of "Rocky", there is no sense of contradiction.

    Jackie Chan's Chinese version of the theme song is awesome! ~

    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]

    Mushu: Hey, don't look at me, I ain't biting no more butts.
