MOVIE "MULAN"

Hello everyone!!

In this post, I´m going to speak about the film "Mulan" because it is one of the films on which we treated and talked in class, a week ago. This is one of the most critical infant film at the cinemarespect to its argument, therefore I find very interesting to speak about this topic.

To show you the reviews and inform you more about the movie, here you can see a movie trailer and plot summary.

Mulan is a young woman of marriageable age, and consider her a dishonor to her family and culture. At that time, the Chinese empire goes to war against the Huns, and her elderly father is called to the army. However, she decides not to allow it and she is disguised as a man to replace her father without his knowing it.

Mushu, a small dragon, goes looking for Mulan, accompanied by a small cricket with good luck. Mulan enters the army with other name, and meets the leader of the troops (Shang Li), whose goal is to defend China from the Huns.

Later, the Chinese army and Mulan are found with the Huns, where almost they are defeated by Mulan when she causes an avalanche by throwing a rocket. Mulan is hurt, and when doctors will heal his wound, they discover that she is a woman, a crime that is punishable by law with death. However, Shang spares her life, because she saved him after the avalanche, and she is only expelled from the army.

In China receive the army with a huge celebration because everyone believes that defeated the army of the Huns. When Mulan enters the city tries to warn to people that the Huns were still alive, but anybody believes her, so the Huns appear and kidnap the emperor. Mulan thinks of a plan to rescue the Emperor, and with the help of Shang and her other friends rescue the Emperor and defeat the Huns.

Finally, Mulan is honored and Emperor offers her a position in the Imperial Court. When Mulan returns home, her parents received with great happiness and Mushu achieves its goal of becoming the guardian of the Fa family.

Mulan film is based on a true story that also happened in China. The whole story told previously is true, but with some changes like for example; the Chinese army does not realize that the girl is a female, and she confesses it to her partners at the end of the war.

Regarding the criticism that received this film were so varied,because there were people who were in favor and others against. The people who were in favor, said that it was a wonderful and entertaining film for all audiences, especially to children.

However, the people who were against the argument and the way in which the film developed, said that in the film was reflected different aspects of sexist topics, trying to identify Mulan as a simple housewife. In addition, in China it had no good reviews, because people said the heroism of women was not reflected in the film, it was only a fantasy world.

In my opinion, Mulan is one of the best films that Disney has produced because it is very entertaining, far from reality and makes you follow the argument carefully. I think that the criticism that have been raised about the film do not matter, because the public generally going to be infant.
