Film Theory: Did Mulan REALLY Save China? (Disney Mulan Trailer)

Mulan is an AMAZING movie - the songs, the characters, the redefining of roles in society! During my previous Disney series of videos where I figured out the most deadly of Disney movies, Mulan peaked my interest for another reason. While researching the avalanche scene where the majority of the Huns were taken out, I learned a bit more about how the science of avalanches work. It posed the question, did Mulan's rocket attack REALLY defeat the Huns or did the Huns ACCIDENTALLY defeat themselves? You are about to find out!

Disney: "Let's remove the songs and comedy relief character to be more accurate" Also Disney *mixes multiple time periods centuries apart*

[@TheRezro]

It has nothing to do with accuracy. Also we can't be sure is those would be actually removed. After all contrary to what people think we actually do see Mushu in trailer...

[@TheFancyUmbreon]

@@TheRezro They said the film wouldn't be a musical, there'll still be music (because most every movie has music), but characters won't be breaking out into song like before. And Mushu's exclusion is intentional, and it looks like he's being replaced with a phoenix, seemingly because the Chinese, who are apparently the primary target audience for the film, hated the character in the '98 film and the tone of this remake seems to be quite a bit darker, trying to be more accurate to the story the film is based off of, and the comedic character of Mushu doesn't fit that tone.

[@Souls4Roca]

@@TheFancyUmbreon yet all the top-ranking movies in china have a dragon in them... alter the character....

I feel like the only logical question after this is: “Did Mulan just sentence her own friends (and herself) to death, or would they have actually been safe where they were?”

[@Misshowzat]

I'm pretty sure they were standing off to the side on a slightly higher cliff. They were down to their last rocket & thought they were going to be killed when she did that. But she & a few others jumped down to engage the others so they were kind of in danger.

[@aislynnbarry8136]

I mean if they took out the entire hun army but they lost their lives, that’s what they were fighting for. They were willing to risk their lives

[@Disaster3nby]

To be fair, Shang did say “If we die, we die with honour.” And the rest of the troops were prepared to fight an unfair battle in hopes of just dying with honour, knowing they will fail regardless. Shang only said that to make it seem like their death would not be in vain. Mulan went off on the idea that everyone was prepared to die and tried to get rid of as many Huns as possible. She probably expected to be swept away with the rest of the Huns but thankfully the Imperial Army found shelter and helped her out later. It was basically a suicide Mission.

[@yuechenshen5703]

They were out numbered, could not likely to survive the cavalry charge anyway.

[@bradencosier80]

A friendly reminder to all, form someone that has been a lot near and on snowy mountains 1. Move to the Side. Once you see an avalanche heading your way, do not try to outrun it. Find the highground, some mountains have big rocks you can run up on to get away. 2. Grab Something Sturdy. This does not mean run down to the forrest and lock down on a tree as the avalanche will instead of sweeping you away crush you against the tree. 3. Swim. you will be tossed around like a ragdoll inside a avalanche, if you do find yourself inside a avalanche your main goal should be to stay close to the surface as when the avalanche finaly stops it will harden like rock and you will not be able to move so for the life of you try stay as close to the surface as you can. 4- Hold One Arm Up. this one ties in with number 3, if you do find yourself inside an avalanche a life and death changing decision will be getting an arm above the surface as this can save you in a few ways. you might be able to start digging up your face so you can breathe again. you can wave your arm so any potential rescuers can see you and rescue you quickly 5. Create Room to Breathe. do your very best to have some room in front of your face and ensure that your stomach is not compressed by the extreme pressure that comes with being inside a avalanche. the snow will become a cocoon around you and try to press all the air our of you, as an example try breathing with someone sitting on your stomach. 6. Stay Calm. Panic never helps. If you panic you will forget all the important things that might save you when it matters. 7. Look up how to rescue others from the cruel fate of being stuck in a avalanche. there are plenty of tools that can increase the likelyhood of sucsessfull rescue. 8. when in snowy and mountainous areas always come prepared and never go alone 9.make sure to always know the emergency number and make sure you will allways be able to call the emergency number, even if you can save someone they might injuries that must be treated as fast a possible and since avalanches are strong there is a big risk of ripping off the clothes of the one who got caught these are just a few reminders, if you care about you family and friends and plan to visit snowy and mountainous areas make sure you know how to deal with dangers

Saransh Gautam, that gets a bit more complicated-however Matt’s math is still plausible. Sense the arc of the mountain doesn’t interfere with the impending rocket, the height and ground distance remains the same-in fact-it could make it easier. Instead of trying to get a option over a 90 degree slope, hitting the target is like throwing a ball at a slope instead.

@@noahthewright7942 The vertical range of rocket means the maximum height covered by the rocket above the ground "while it moves in its parabolic path".

it seems to me, that you misused thePythagorean theory, is the rocket has a range of... let's say 1km, that would mean, that at an optimal angle (45°) lateral distance would be that 1km, not the hypothenuse, in addition to that, when nearing maximum distance, approximating the parabolic trajectory as a straight line is a bit of a stretch.

When I was a kid, I discovered the Slab Avalanche on a small scale in my back yard. I was playing around, causing little snowfalls with a stick, trying to figure out why some places would work and others wouldn't when my dad came over and told me that what I was doing was the same thing as real life avalanches. It blew my mind. Both because I was doing something that happens on such a devastating scale, but it was also the first time I realized Small Scale Testing was a thing. It was kinda nuts for a kid to grasp that these HUGE forces of nature could be recreated in such a small, controlled environment.
