Compared to the pocahontas I watched two weeks ago, I think mulan's adaptation is more interesting and the integrity of the story is also very good! Since pocahontas, I have slowly figured out the nature of Disney movies. It is romantic and interesting, so I am not as persistent as the previous one on whether this movie is faithful to the original history. From a certain point of view, this is indeed the case. As long as it does not distort history too much, it can arouse our interest in this history and inspire the audience to better understand history. This is its value. While most viewers might just watch the movie, I think it's good to leave a positive impression (either funny or mysterious).
I think it reflects our traditional thinking, such as using marriage to define a woman's life. Sometimes we always feel that foreigners have a stereotyped image of us, but some positive or negative impressions do exist in our history. The problem arises when the initial impressions of the culture are formed at different times. When foreigners began to understand China, we were still at a relatively closed stage. When China began to understand the world, the world was already in a relatively modern stage, so we saw more and more people what the world is like now. But when many other countries look at us, they are still in the initial stage of understanding China.
I think this kind of discrepancy exists, whether it is between major cultures or between subcultures. A typical example is that many students used to joke about whether students in Mongolia and Xinjiang went to school on horseback. Because when we started getting to know them, the general impression was that there was a prairie over there, and everyone would ride horses to graze. But with the development of the times, people are constantly learning and understanding the new world. While there may be a bit of a disconnect from the current perception of other cultures by large groups, what the new generation is slowly seeing as they grow is up-to-date.
It seems a bit far-fetched. The main reason is to express that this film is actually quite complete in terms of emotional expression of the original story, although it inevitably has the cultural concept of the producer. For example, what most people cannot accept is that Mulan has become a protagonist of Western heroism. But is Mulan also a unique story in our culture, a more rebellious character? In our interpretation, the story also reflects breaking away from the shackles of "women are not as good as men" and reflects the expression of women's personality.
Listening to your own story from someone else's mouth is also unique.
(Although after writing, I felt that I missed a lot of the question in the middle. Maybe my focus was a bit strange, but I do think that he also reflects the stereotype of foreigners on our traditional culture. If it is an exam composition, I will definitely I failed, but it doesn't matter if I just cut it out here...??)
