Mulan 2020 is out! And it will only cost you a kidney to see! I guess it's not that bad. We're all trying to adapt. But it felt like a good time to go back to the original 1998 version and see what's up, what's good, what's happenin'. Here's everything right with Mulan!

@Milena Shvedova I suspect it's the first... The fact that the archer knew exactly what he meant implies that they are regularly this brutal. He knew that those 2 were terrified enough to ensure the gravity of the situation was understood. He just wanted to go a little further to sate that twisted sense of his. The fact that he grins as he asks shows that he's at least mildly entertained. As chilling as your interpretation is, I think its reading a little too much into it.

Interestingly, the Ballad of Mulan tells that Hua Mulan had a little brother, but by the time the war began, he was too young to serve. That’s why her old father was mandated to go to war (each household must contribute a male to go to war), which is why she decided to go replace him. The little brother reappeared again in Hua Mulan’s homecoming from war, apparently ready to slaughter animals for the feast.

While for sure that's what Disney wanted to do, I always saw it more as a metaphor of the two of them: The Huns and their general have proven to be an unstoppable force like the wind, but the emperor is an unmovable object like a mountain. So when they meet, it's the classic "an unstoppable force meets an unmovable object". Neither of them will surrender and they both know it. The emperor will die before he bows to the Huns, and Shan-yu will die before he surrenders to the Emperor.

one thing i love about this movie that no one else seems to notice is how Mulan is implied to *be* the great stone dragon. How she sits under the statue is an obvious one, then the dragon when she prays to her ancestors, the literal dragon on the tomb (i dont know what theyre called sorry), then the transition to the painted dragon that mulan passes, the sword she uses has a dragon on the hilt, and when she pulls it out it shows her reflection in the blade, the dragon handles on the closet to her father's suit of armor, once again another shot of her with the sword, then finally the dragon at the tomb glows its eyes. This is all speculation, but I think the reason the great stone dragon doesn't awaken is because Mulan is the dragon. Even if not, there's so much dragon symbolism in this part that it cant be ignored.

She's the great dragon. In the montage where she's taking the armor and leaving, there's depictions of dragons everywhere, and later, when Mushu tries to wake it up, the statue breaks. This is because the great dragon is no longer there. Mulan is the dragon that protects her family.

Honestly, Mulan was the only Disney "princess" I identified with while growing up. At the time, it was the only one that showed a girl enjoying activities other than the stereotypically feminine ones. She wasn't waiting around for a "prince" to save her, which I adored. She was strong, smart and independent despite the fact that everyone around her claimed she needed to be the weak damsel in distress. So yeah, a great role model for little girls like myself at the time. And a great reminder to boys that women are just as powerful and fierce.

I think there's something about nomadic, tribal cultures being more equal in terms of gender, like the Huns/Mongols, Vikings etc, likely due to the harsh conditions that they live in and hence valuing every person in the community to fill up whatever role they are best at, men and women alike. Therefore it wasn't uncommon that women took up positions in the army and fought alongside men. His reaction was actually historically accurate.

Also, a nice bit of validation, both on a personal level and a social one. Matchmaker scolded Mulan earlier in the movie by screaming "YOU WILL NEVER BRING YOUR FAMILY HONOR!!!" Papa Fa refutes this by quietly proclaiming that "the greatest gift and honor is having YOU for a daughter" and punctuates this by dropping the sword of the enemy and the medallion of the Emperor himself. He is proud of his daughter because he knows why she did it. The symbols of the glory his daughter has won on the battlefield are just that- symbols. Mulan didn't go out there seeking these things. She went to protect her family. In a way, as another Asian woman would put it (in a galaxy far, far away), Mulan won by saving what she loved- not by fighting what she hated.

Shan-Yu's sword *is* too heavy for Mulan. You can still swing a too-heavy sword around and work with the weight and momentum to gain graceful arcs. But you're not going to be able to feint, it's going to tire you out immensely to use it in a real fight and it's going to imbalance you at crucial moments. Mulan is taken off guard by how heavy the sword is when she first uses it to cut the rope, leading to her overcommitting and leaving the sword stuck in a pillar. When she manages to disarm Shan-Yu, she's prepared for the weight of the sword and still needs a second to wind up the acceleration of the blade to twirl it around. Compare to Shan-Yu who could swing it around like a machete.

He genuinely cares about his child and appreciates her as much as any parent should with their child, regardless of gender. Also, it's a nice fact that Mulan is the Disney princess with the highest kill count.

Fun Fact: In the German dub, Mushu says: "what. never seen someone drive a Panda before?" Panda is a sub-category to the car brand Fiat which is sorta common in Germany, especially was around the time this movie came out. So most people including kids would have gotten the joke.

"I love how over-the-top the gender roles are here." Thing is, by Ancient/old China standards, they really weren't. In marriage, a girl was/is expected to leave her family and enter her husband's; she lives with her new family and for all purposes is part of their family now - her interactions with her blood family would be strictly limited. In contrast, men grew up to contribute financially to their family, stay with them, and continue the family line (which was a big deal). Even accepted grounds for divorce included "not bearing a son", IIRC

not only that, even though in western countries the last names of the children is often the father, some children also have the choice to take their mother's last name, but in china (and even more so ancient china) ALL children took their fathers' last names, and names were a big deal (as seen when they call the names of the families out for drafting). the names hold meaning, honour, and is practically the living epitome of the phrase "do not disgrace the family name". therefore back then, sons continue that honour, while daughters basically become a part of someone else's family, causing essentially all chinese families to only want sons. (even now, but of course, less so) correct me if im wrong, but it got to the point when during china's law regarding one child only per family, there were SO MANY female chinese infants being put up for adoption to be adopted in the states (or other foreign countries) as those chinese couples did not want a daughter to be their only child, which in itself, is quite horrifying and terrible. not to mention the one child law wasn't even in ancient china.

I think it's a good thing that Mulan doesn't join the army "because Feminism" but rather to protect someone she loves and respects. Like my favorite book series is Protector of the Small which is about a girl's journey to become a Knight in a society where a girl doing it was only declared legal a few years ago. She doesn't do it because she's trying to be non-conformist or trying to change people's attitudes, she does it because she was inspired by her mother to protect the weak and innocent, and it's that motivation that leads to her becoming one of the best.

That's also why I don't think she needs to be an LGBT symbol either. She disguises as a boy not because she feels the need to be a boy, but because that is the only way to do what is right. A women can can be straight and still be strong and independent. On the side of representation, I feel like Elsa is a much stronger case for it, because to try to apply it to Mulan just because she joins the army as a guy would diminish the impact of her taking it into her own hands not for the sake of empowerment, but because that is just who she is.

I always loved the fact that Mulan never really uses swords as intended in this movie. She is seen punching and disarming so it's not like the movie erases all violence from her, and yes I'm aware it's a movie meant for kids but this is Disney we're talking about--there were plenty of PG-friendly ways to make her use the weapon directly against another person if the animators and writers wanted to. The movie draws attention whenever Mulan's holding a sword and always uses that opportunity to reiterate that the way she fights is fundamentally different from how a soldier would fight.

He did not underestimate Mulan and even saw her as more of a threat than Shang. 5. He doesn't sing. 6. His sword is awesome. 7. His army isn't comedy relief sidekicks, but seasoned, experienced warriors. He even (I think) mourned for them after the avalanche. 8... HE DOESN'T SING!! But that's just my opinion.

A fact you didn't mention that I believe was a brilliant choice, is that during the training montage, Mulan goes from being behind everyone else to ahead of them, sparring personally with the Commanding Officer, and even running ahead of him, at no point was she actually an equal member of the team. That led to them being more accepting of her abandonment, only later standing up to defend her after they'd fought equally in the palace, when they played her role instead of her playing their's.

While women actualy have a lot of rights these days in terms of being able to do shit (even more so when it comes to court cases), a lot of the higher ups in companies are sociopaths, and sexism is a common trait in sociopaths of both gender, so its harder to rise higher for people who's big boss is of a opposite gender in most cases. The World ISN'T fair, but not because of Common Bias, its unfair because a lot of the more loud and powerful people make it unfair so they can stay in popularity/power (not to mention it is legit harder these days for younger people to move up in the world thanks to the minimum wage vs cost of living being very much not balanced well at all.) Age Bias is bigger then most these days when it comes to moving up in the world.

@@KumaChrisVT You have a lot of good points, though I think the difficulty with upward mobility has less to do with minimum wave vs. cost of living (which has *never* been balanced and wasn't supposed to be balanced) and more to do with over-saturation of the job market. Decades of telling kids that a college education is *necessary* and that only certain *white-collar* jobs are acceptable has finally caught up with us. Likely exacerbated by the recent economic downturn leading to a lot of older people not retiring, thus not leaving openings for younger folks to step in.

7:08 - When Ling extends his right hand to shake Mulan's hand, she extends her left hand, almost like she was expecting him to kiss her hand rather than shake it. Interesting... Also, Grandma was voiced by the late June Foray, arguably the greatest voice-over artist apart from the legendary Mel Blanc - even animation director Chuck Jones famously said, "June Foray wasn't the female Mel Blanc; Mel Blanc was the male June Foray." Her career was so prolific she started in radio, which is the oldest medium for voice work, and was literally doing roles for video games in her later years, which is the newest medium. I'll let you off this time, but henceforth, June Foray should always be a win ;)

The tossing of the sword and Imperial Seal hits me on a whole new level understanding it’s value. 2 items that literally makes them one of the most honorable/famous families in China, one of those items literally being handed to her by the emperor himself, usually a diplomat would give gift. And the father tosses it aside as if we’re trash only caring about the safety and wellness of his daughter. Oh and the Emperor bows to her (I know it’s a cartoon) but does a formal 30 degrees bow and proceeds to hold it. I understand it’s a cartoon but the fact that they’re able to make something like this during their time.

Kurz Towers Obviously someone with the title of Emperor doesn’t have to bow to anybody. The most a person can get from the Emperor that you can brag about is a head nod or a smile from him but she gets a bow that even surpasses when you have to introduce yourself to the emperor which is a head bow and a 10 degree tilt. So the difference in degrees makes a difference and also social class, which is why the peasant class bows all the way to the knees.

What I like about Mulan is that it can be relatable and powerful to basically anyone who doesn't conform to archaic ideas of gender. 1. Trans men can relate to the feeling of being uncomfortable with performing feminity and struggling to present male 2. Trans women can relate to the feeling of trying to forcibly adhere to aggressive masculine roles despite knowing they're really a woman 3. Nonbinary people can relate to the feeling of seeing two major roles presented in society that they don't fit into 4. Cis women can relate to being told that they can't do certain things because they're a woman 5. Cis men can relate to feeling a certain duty to be the protector that may feel scary to them It's every gender's movie, and I'm here for it

I mean you can relate to a song however it speaks to you. But the whole Mulan is trans or wants to be a man is bs. Like you just need to read the synopsis of the movie to know that. And it also takes away what Mulan is about. Mulan is not as strong or as fast as a man. That’s not the hand she’s dealt. But what hand she is dealt she has used time and time again to solve a problem or reach a goal using what she’s given. She doesn’t have to be a man (yes that was intentional). She just has to be herself and use her own skills and abilities to her advantage. Saying she wants to be a man just takes that all away from her. Not to mention a terrible lesson that you have to be something you’re not in order to be accepted or accomplish anything

I just love how wholesome Mulan's relation with her father is. Her MO has always been "fulfill societal duty, bring honor to her family/father, filial piety", which is incredibly Chinese, and she did precisely that, only through unconventional means. She went to war not because she thinks she's a badass, but because she genuinely cares about her father's wellbeing. Top notch filial piety and familial love there. Respectively, her father was not even a bit mad when she failed miserably at the matchmaking. He understands that she has struggles, and is worried not because he wants to change her (although he would definitely appreciate that lol), but because he geniunely cares about her wellbeing. Incredibly touching to someone (me) who has cosmic sized Asian daddy issue...

Mulan influenced me the most as a kid. I was an *EXTREMELY* shy, nervous, awkward, and insecure kid. But I watched Mulan and I fell in love. Mulan's story and the fact that she was a strong women inspired me. I became more outgoing, less awkward, more confident. It wasn't much at all (in fact I've only recently seen an improvement for all the stuff I listed thanks to therapy) but the biggest change was that it helped me stop getting picked on. I was bullied a lot as a kid but Mulan's story inspired me to stand up for myself. I haven't been bullied since I was 8. Thank you so much for doing this. And thank you Disney for making the movie that inspired me so much.

11:47 Don’t forget that Mulan disarmed Shanyu with *just a fan!* The very symbol of her femininity since the beginning of the film! And the fan combined with her incredible resourcefulness and basic combat training in a split second decision speaks to the epitome of her character. Backed into a corner, with no more options left, she’s able to disarm the greatest threat to her country; the biggest, strongest, scariest enemy she’s ever faced... with ‘just a fan’ as ‘just a woman’ that couldn’t compare to the might of the hierarchy. She’s mastered herself. She understands how to combine the best sides of herself. The masculine with the feminine. She’s no longer lost. She knows her reflection now. She did finally bloom. *She’s herself.* The whole movie was leading up to this very important moment! 😍 I love it! Plus, the whole conversation with her dad is so beautiful! 😭
