Watching this movie as a little girl, that was what really resonated with me. The original doesn’t pretend that women can, as a rule, outdo men in things like brute strength or speed. (These were the old days, mind you, when we didn’t think a male could identify his way into female sports.) Instead, it shows Mulan training hard to keep up with her fellow soldiers. She truly shines, though, when she can put her brains and creativity to use. We watch as this clever but clumsy misfit finds an outlet for her creativity, from sneaking notes onto her wrist to saving her friends, her Emperor, and her kingdom. More than anything, Mulan is _resourceful_. It’s her brains that bring down the villain. Again and again, the point isn’t that Mulan can do everything the men can do and better. It’s that she has other talents and achieves her goals in different ways. That’s what Mulan meant to me. With hard work, intelligence, creativity, and the help of your friends, you can do incredible things. This has special meaning for girls, but her story has universal appeal. But that’s not so chic these days.

@@edoboleyn I'm just stuck on the transformation into a man I laughed out loud when I saw the remake version. They managed to take the feeling out of it and not put any effort into making her look more masculine in reality she would've been found out the moment she walked in.

The music that builds in intensity, the colors, the art, Mulan and her family, the emotion of it all.

At least Alien first right?

There are at least two female archetypes in Aliens. One is Ripley the other is Vasquez. Both strong but Ripley gains strength from maternal instinct and Vasquez from fraternal. Nobody would doubt Vasquez as being strong or competent but she fights for herself (or her unit) while Ripley fights for Newt.

Mosty, people watch Aliens first... Mostly.

@@amanibob1416 heh good reference

@@rebeccaconlon9743 Aliens is the better movie and much more kid friendly to boot. Alien was a straight up horror movie whilst Aliens though it does have more than its fair share of Horror is much more action oriented. Ripley is also more proactive in Aliens and more obviously the Lead whereas in Alien she was one of an ensemble and not revealed as the Lead until half way through the movie. TBF either are probably way too much for 99% of children under 10 - They're not Jaws. Whereas the Live Action Mulan is heavily sanitised and aimed squarely at the 8-13 demographic that are unlikely to make it through ANY of the Alien movies. Of course the more obvious female empowerment model for CHILDREN is Princess Leia in A New Hope, Empire and Jedi! Yes Luke is the nominal Lead but Leia is written and portrayed fantastically in those three films!

There is a much better live action version of Mulan years ago. It was very dark and gritty.

Thanks Obi Juan, I'll have a look for it!

The Chinese film of Mulan follows the actual poem of Mulan. In the story Mulan was at war for 12 years and rose five ranks and became a general (or something). No one ever found out she was a woman until she reveled it at the end. Then she returned to her village and lived a quiet life as a woman again.

@@maddiesiegmund5623 - I'd love to watch that film. :)

Disney can make a movie about paint drying and will still get 1 million or more people (who are literally hypnotized into a false reality) to buy it instantly.

Unless you're a woman with no special powers. Then your fate is to get married, have babies and stay silent, just like the video said, and just like what happened to the sister in the movie. Honestly, they tried for empowering and landed smack dab in anti-feminist. Cartoon Mulan was such a great role model and inspiration.

All of the rhetoric and controversy over this feminism issue is part of a much deeper problem. But, it is the result of the constant bombardment and culture indoctrination saturating our society from the SJW Leftist and radical feminist. Who's main agenda is to spew out propaganda through educational institutions, TV/movie industry programming, commercials, and electronic mainstream media in order to indoctrinate young boys and "shame them" of their natural masculine traits & become effeminate_ more like girls, and tell young girls that their natural femininity has no value unless they become more masculine_ like boys to gain some notion of a perceived power which they must attain. Although, from their perspective, intentions are good. However, their noble efforts have become radicalized ideology which is ripping deeper & deeper at the bottom of the foundation of our Nation and society (the traditional family). It seems the radicalist structure, leftist politicians, and feminist won't be satisfied until we find ourselves living in a bizarro world with the sexes switched completely upside down. I think that only the delusional individual could believe that a world with a society like that would be healthy and thriving?

The progressive agenda has _always_ been there. It's just done so poorly these days thanks to execs in the writing room that it's painfully obvious the agenda is there. This movie has just about the same identical "agenda" as the original Mulan. Yet this movie is trash. Maybe you should take a moment to think about it and realize it's not the presence of the agenda that has ruined it, but the lack of creativity.

I agree 100%

The original Mulan was not a ninja. She was not extra capable. She was extra clever and worked extra hard.

yeah exactly. the Chinese govt doesn't like rebelling against social norms or self-belief so they took that all out.

Watch the first four seasons of Babylon 5 and enjoy the sight of Susan Ivanova progressing from faintly nerdy, by-the-book second-in-command to Death Incarnate and realize every step of the process was earned, worked for and hard-won. Then go back to garbage like Chibnall-era Who and lament that nobody knows how to write female characters anymore.

Go watch The Expanse. Fantastic sci-fi series that is probably the most scientifically accurate space story I've ever seen, and it's full of great characters with amazing arcs. The characters are all well written and their genders don't matter at all. Both the men and the women are treated with respect by the writer, and I don't think there was a single character who's inclusion in the story I didn't like. Case in point, a white, lesbian woman who is a priest and married to a black woman. She has a very important effect on the plot, and neither her gender or sexuality ever plays a part in that, and she is a VERY human character that feels real. It also manages to be a story with a plot that revolves around the political tensions between the different factions without beating the audience over the head with politics. What I mean by that is that you see every side of the conflict (with plenty of grey areas) and are then left to make up your own mind about who you think is right or wrong and why. I binged the entire third season in one go, something I rarely do.

@@elennapointer701 You're welcome :) Small tip, read up a little bit on how certain things work in space, because there are a lot of scenes that are correct when it comes to gravity, acceleration etc in space, and if you understand them a little you will like those scenes more imo. For example, ships travel from point to point by accelerating half the way, then flipping themselves around and decelerate the other half of the way. The reason they do this is because if you accelerate or decelerate to fast, you pull to many Gs and can harm or even kill the crew. Gravity inside the ships is generated by the accel and decel thrust, and so the ships floors are internally oriented accordingly. When the engines are of and the interior of the ships are effectively zero G, the crew use mag boots to stay on the floors. Also, when ships do combat maneuvers, everyone needs to be strapped in to their chairs because when the ship rolls and flips, the internal gravity orientation shifts accordingly. There is also a scene early on where two people are floating in zero G, so the guy attaches a wire to the girl and then uses her back as a springboard to launch himself back to the floor, where he engages his magboots and then pulls her back down to the floor using the wire so she can attach her magboots as well.

Plus the girl that played Mulan came out and said she supported the Hong Kong police brutality, so idk what Disney was thinking!

It also fucks things up from a historical perspective as well, as what we see is more of a mishmash of elements from different periods in Ancient China rather than them sticking to one era specifically. This is also the case in the original animated film but its less of an issue since they were more open about the fact that its a fantasy movie rather than one that is trying to be historical.

Well everything is political so i guess everything is ruined

The cartoon also did that too, but it was also a matter of family honour too

Chinese culture is heavily based on honour. Bringing dishonour to your family is HEAVILY shunned.

The animated film did something similar. Mulan ends up washing out of training and Shang tells her to go home. It should be good right? Mulan has accomplished her objective: save her father, and she doesn't have to risk her own life to do it anymore, and because the army doesn't know shes a chick, her family's honour is secure. But then she looks at the tall mast with the arrow stuck on top of it, the challenge Shang set for the recruits. Nobody else had managed it but Mulan decides to try it one last time. By this point, its not about her father anymore. Not her family honour, not glory or any of that. She completed the challenge and made it through training to prove to herself that she wasn't a screw up or a liability to her family, that she could do something right for once.

If they'll get money from the chinese goverment then they'll look away.

Tells you alot about Disney huh

@@futureflash6331 Poor old Walt must be crying himself to sleep each night in his coffin.

@@jbj27406 yup started out wanting to make movies to entertain but I guarantee you in a couple of years they'll become a real life Umbrella corporation they're already kneeling before and taking the money of regimes next step the D-virus

But that can't be true, Edward. it was only 3 months ago that Disney posted black jpegs all over their social media telling me they care about human rights.

Empowering women movies went from - Character, who happens to be a woman, has to face struggles and grow up to overcome and success. To - Woman are perfect, and no matter how much the other characters put actual effort in grow up or train to do something in specific, the female protagonist can go and do it x100 better without previous knowledge

The Mulan trailer went just like the ROS ones it showed Mulan pulling off gravity defying stunts just like Rey and that's when I knew exactly what kind of movie it was going to be.

Some bloody space film um, I can't remember the damn name....fcuk :(

Fits perfectly with the participation award era. You don't have to work and train to be achieve your dreams. Everything will just be handed to you because you are just so naturally special. You are right always and anyone who criticizes you is an evil -ist. No wonder young people are completely unequipped to deal with adversity.

It's not Like The Original Mulan Was A Much Better Character or Anything Anyways

Hua Mulan 2009 with vitas is also good.

Hollywood life in a nutshell

Sounds kinda like Star Wars Episode IV and Episode VII....

WAI WAI WAIT.... SO.. REY WAS ASIAN ALL THE TIME?? :O

Mulan 1998: Perseverance is the key to success Mulan 2020: Everyone else is the problem

@@Foxtrotwolf It seems to ^^

You won't have a home for long matey

It'll be over quickly. One way or the other haHaHA

Because feminism

Men go to war to watch their friends day and kill enemies. Not women last I checked pre 2003

@DANK Couldn't have said it better, myself.

so that their powers can reach OVER 9000!!!

@DANK Do you know that for sure? Have you seen it, do you have the official statements from each individual female soldier? How can you be so certain. New recruits have been at an all-time low, you know why? Because there's not a fucking war to fight. Why would you sign up for the military then, huh? Most women don't even have the guts to sign-up because they know that if they do, they're not gonna be treated like some fucking war hero instantly just because she's a woman. Women are afraid to actually have to work hard for what they want in life but they don't have to. Blame the simps for that.

@Cherry Mae Raviz "And also if anyone doesn't like you they're just sexists who only hate you because you're a woman." Anyone who points out that a Mary Sue character has a horrible personality, a bad attitude, shows no emotion or feeling whatsoever, doesn't have any personality or character traits and never struggles at all gets accused of being intimidated or feeling threatened by strong women. Even though actual strong women are different from what Disney thinks strong women are.

Rey: I mean, isn't that Anakin as well? It's only in "Rise of Skywalker"that they tied her into the Emperor so people would stop crying about how Rey got her powers from the Force itself like...you know, the majority of Jedi(Yoda didn't have a long bloodline of Yoda's before, nor did Obi Wan, Qui Gon or anyone until the Skywalkers.) Could have had a good arc by learning that she couldn't save everyone in ROS, but made it so she COULD save Ben all along, so the whole ending of TLJ where he turned Supreme Leader was completely pointless. Captain Marvel: Made more powerful by accident, brainwashed into killing innocent refugees trying to find their families. Arc is learning what she's done and trying to make up for it, even though it means abandoning the family that she found once more. Constantly put down by the matriarchal super computer and her commanding officer/fake saviour so they can control her and made to believe her powers were something they gave her, not something she gained on her own.

@@phousefilms Yoda, Obi-Wan, Qui Gon and all those other Jedi learned how to use The Force and trained over many years. Rey instantly masters it a few days after only just learning what it was even though she didn't previously believe it even existed. And is portrayed as the most powerful Force user ever not because she actually trained and became strong and powerful in it but because she's a Mary Sue. Anakin had flaws like anger issues, he was a hothead who'd rush into things without thinking them through, he was arrogant and overconfident and believed he'd be the most powerful Jedi ever. He was also gullible because he fell for Palpatine's lies that there was a way to save Padme and Anakin's own issues with the Jedi not granting him the rank of Master and having to hide his marriage to Padme and her pregnancy from them and also Palpatine's weak innocent victim act during his fight with Mace Windu allowed Palpatine to convince Anakin that the Jedi were trying to take over the Republic.

@@phousefilms read what a Mary-Sue is. Juste go and read it. Then watch the movies you are talking about and just do the math. Simple example : Anakin spend his time taking bad decisions. A Mary Sue never does. She knows the way, like healing a snake with power she never knew she had.

@@phousefilms ahh at least Anakin knew he was a bad guy, and a murder making many mistakes and in the end making it up to his son Luke. Rey? where do i start

I agree, had one of my favorite quotes, "No matter how fierce the winds may howl, the mountains cannot bow to it."

Same with Aladdin band Lion King. Moral of the story; don't make remakes. They'll never be great, just terrible. Same with Ghostbusters.

I thought it was a terrible misrepresentation of the Mongols tbh. Racist even. Ignorant and lazy at the very least.

Money! *Mr crabs laugh*

It is funny to have all this outrage with Uyghur concentration camps coming from the country which has places like Guantanamo, though.

TheFatMob doesn't it make worse? The americans at disney are helping a regime that repeated the mistakes of their own government, they are correct in condemning them, americans have learned

@@TheFatMob Guantanamo needs to be shut down too... But they aren't putting women and children in their based on their religious status

Community: That's what I thought

I'm pretty sure it's intentional. Rey and Captain Marvel are just as bland, no doubt because Disney is trying to be as "inoffensive" with their OP heroines as possible.

@@hopelessclown Yeah, I guess that's what Disney considers as "empowering."

@@hopelessclown That's exactly it. They think that women who show normal emotions are weak. They're selling girls a very unhealthy ideal.

@@kevviking6612 Nah, it's just her. She's a terrible actress. I have chinese and east asian friends whom already knew her, and they all told me the movie was gonna be shit the moment Disney chose her, because she's fucken BAD..... "as expressive as a plastic cup" bad. The only real possibility of it being a choice is with Cptn Marvel, because Larson is not a terrible actress and the character kind of required it the way they wrote her. With Rey it was just Daisy being a lil wooden in some scenes, she got much better after TFA, so you know it wasn't a direct request from the directors.

Gotta imagine they cast her for name recognition in China, and not for her acting chops. I found it hilarious that the young Mulan in the film spoke with a perfect American accent while grown up Mulan spoke with.. whatever accent that was.

Brilliant comment !

Mulan. Mulan Jinping.

How about Mulan Soywalker

THIS COMMENT ALSO

Very funny.
