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.
