染雾Mulan Movie Review - Part 1
As a fan of Disney animated films, I was excited to watch the live-action adaptation of Mulan. The film tells the inspiring story of Mulan, a young woman who disguises herself as a man to take her father's place in the Chinese army. With high expectations, I sat down to watch Mulan and I must say, it did not disappoint.
One of the aspects that stood out to me in this movie was the stunning visuals. The cinematography and special effects were breathtaking, with sweeping landscapes and vibrant colors. The film beautifully captures the essence of ancient China, from the grand palaces to the picturesque countryside. The action sequences were also well choreographed and kept me on the edge of my seat.
Another highlight of Mulan was the performances by the cast. Liu Yifei, who played Mulan, delivered a powerful and emotional performance. She portrayed the strength, determination, and bravery of the character with great intensity. The supporting cast, including Donnie Yen as Commander Tung and Gong Li as the villainous Xianniang, also gave commendable performances. Their chemistry on screen was palpable and added depth to the story.
Furthermore, the film incorporated elements of Chinese culture and traditions seamlessly. From the costumes to the music, every detail was meticulously designed to honor the rich heritage of China. It was refreshing to see a Hollywood production embrace and showcase a different culture in such a respectful manner.
However, one aspect of the film that disappointed me was the absence of the original songs from the animated version. The music in Mulan has always been iconic, and it would have been wonderful to hear the familiar tunes. Nevertheless, the instrumental score composed by Harry Gregson-Williams was still beautiful and enhanced the overall viewing experience.
Overall, Mulan is a visually stunning and empowering film that pays homage to the original animated classic. It successfully combines breathtaking visuals, captivating performances, and cultural authenticity. While it may not have the same musical charm as the animated version, it stands on its own as a thrilling and inspiring tale. I highly recommend watching Mulan, whether you are a fan of the original or simply appreciate a well-crafted film.
Mulan Movie Review - Part 2
Continuing from my previous review, I would like to delve deeper into the themes and messages conveyed in the live-action adaptation of Mulan. Beyond the stunning visuals and captivating performances, the film explores important themes of identity, family, and gender equality.
One of the central themes in Mulan is the exploration of personal identity. Mulan struggles with conforming to societal expectations and finding her true self. By disguising herself as a man and joining the army, she defies traditional gender roles and discovers her own strength and courage. This message of self-discovery and authenticity resonates with audiences, encouraging them to embrace their true selves and follow their own path.
Family is another important theme in Mulan. The love and devotion Mulan has for her family is evident throughout the film. Her decision to take her father's place in the army is driven by her desire to protect and honor her family. The film emphasizes the bond between family members and the sacrifices they are willing to make for each other. This theme serves as a reminder of the importance of family and the values they instill in us.
Gender equality is a prominent message in Mulan. The film highlights the inequality and limitations imposed on women in ancient China. Mulan challenges these societal norms and proves that women are just as capable and courageous as men. Her journey inspires and empowers women to break free from societal constraints and pursue their dreams and ambitions. This message is especially relevant in today's world, where gender equality is still an ongoing struggle.
In conclusion, Mulan is not just a visually stunning film, but also a thought-provoking exploration of identity, family, and gender equality. It effectively conveys important messages that resonate with audiences of all ages. The film encourages individuals to embrace their true selves, emphasizes the importance of family bonds, and advocates for gender equality. Mulan is a powerful and inspiring cinematic experience that leaves a lasting impact.

Disney turned East seeking inspiration and found it in Mulan, a thoughtful coming-of-age adventure story about a brave and clever daughter risking her life to save her ailing father in Imperial China. Having fun with the comic possibilities of cross-dressing and gender confusions, this beautifully animated feature places its title character in armor and eventually into the thick of battle, with the stakes no less than the fate of her country. Based on a popular Chinese legend (similar to that of Joan of Arc, but with a kinder conclusion), Mulan is that rarity in any patriarchal culture, a genuine heroine celebrated for breaking the conventions of her sex.
Mulan tries to honor her family the traditional way, letting her mother and grandmother powder her face white and dress her like a China doll in preparation for her interview with the matchmaker, but she utterly fails to please the pompous power broker due to the unintentional interference of her 'good luck' cricket (a close, though mute, cousin to Jimminy). Presented in song with amusing lyrics and overtones of Gigi, this comedy of errors evolves into fairly serious drama. Mulan is deeply ashamed at her failure to bring honor to her family in the only way her society deems possible.
She discovers, however, that her father still believes in her. Beneath the gentle canopy of a cherry blossom tree, he tells her that 'the flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.' In this one scene, directors Barry Cook and Tony Bancroft poignantly establish the powerful bond between the dutiful but independent-minded daughter and her conventional but compassionate, aged father.
When Mulan learns that the Emperor is demanding one male volunteer from every family to fight the Hun invaders, she secretly cuts her hair, dons her father's armor, takes his sword and rides off in his place. Dramatically staged without dialogue, this is the film's most stirring sequence.
That's where Eddie Murphy comes in, as the voice of Mushu, Mulan's diminutive, streetwise, would-be guardian dragon. Though less witty than Robin Williams in Aladdin, Murphy breathes some edgy, contemporary humor into his toon with att
As usual, Disney animators succeed in creating a stylishly scary villain-in this case, the monolithic, square-faced Hun leader Shan-Yu, whose yellow eyes gleam with hate. Mulan, with her grace under fire, prevails against this seemingly invincible enemy, but not without some interesting setbacks, including her rejection by Shang and her three army buddies-Ling, Chien Po and Yao-after they find out that 'she' is a woman.
Soon after Mulan enlists, there's a Yentl-like scene in which she is bathing in a pond, only to be joined by this trio of boisterous cohorts. Although she deftly makes her getaway before blowing her cover, it makes for some wry comic suspense. Late in the film, the roles are reversed, as Ling, Chien Po and Yao discover that cross-dressing can serve their martial purposes as well.
With its striking computer-assisted visuals, such as the nearly 3D Great Wall of China that opens the film, and the massive attack of the Huns that recalls the wildebeest stampede in The Lion King, Mulan sets new standards in animation. But it is in the subtlety of its characters' 'acting' that Mulan excels. As has been noted in the past, Disney's cartoon characters show more vitality than many flesh-and-blood actors in non-animated films, and Mulan's are no exception.
But, of course, actors invest these character with life, and all of Mulan's voices do their drawings proud. Ming-Na Wen lends Mulan vulnerability and grit, and Lea Salonga provides as lovely a singing voice for her as she did for Princess Jasmine in Aladdin. B.D. Wong (Seven Years in Tibet) as Shang and Donny Osmond as his singing voice team up to make one virile but multi-faceted drill sergeant. Harvey Fierstein's inimitable gravely voice adds character to the macho, pint-sized Yao, and Miguel Ferrer (recently of television's 'Lateline') fuels Shan-Yu's villainy.
While Stevie Wonder and 98% let you leave the theatre buoyed by Matthew Wilder and David Zippel's 'True to Your Heart,' the other Wilder/Zippel songs in Mulan are less memorable. Veteran Jerry Goldsmith's score, however, adds urgency and emotion to the narrative.
As the Emperor (Pat Morita) tells Shang after Mulan rides back to her family, 'You don't meet a girl like that every dynasty.' He's right.
