So many questions throughout but to answer a few: 1: yes this is based on a true story. There are a lot of things that are different but Mulan was a real person who went to war in a time she should not have been able to. The Huns were real and much scarier than portrayed here 2: this was during a time that women were NOT allowed to go to war. They were there to be good wives. 3: the makeup is a cultural thing. I don't know enough to explain it properly. I'm sure someone else properly will 4: you don't need to apologize for talking! We are here to see your reactions not to watch the movie ❤

Would also like to add that the original Chinese legend spans Mulan’s whole life-the movie condenses some things, though it’s really not accurate anyway-and that moment when they find out Mulan is a woman?

As for 3, I’m Asian but not Chinese so this is partly conjecture, but part of Asian beauty standards back then (that have persisted to today tbh) was that “pretty” women had porcelain white skin, red lips/cheeks, etc. (There’s a saying about the ideal woman from either China or Korea, I don’t remember it v well though.) Darker skin meant you were out in the sun often, meaning you were probably working and therefore lower class. Basically the paler you were, the richer you were, was the implication. 🤷 And for women at the time, the most important thing was getting married, which relied primarily on the woman’s beauty and the family’s social class/wealth.

In ancient Greece Spartans were a really strong military- based city-state.They were trained since they were kids in the ways of war. Their ''moto'' was that you either return with your shield or the shield is returned with your dead body on top. They were spareing no cowards and the ones running away from a battle. They are well known today for fighting the battle at Thermopyles. Around 490 b.c Persians started envading ancient Greece and they won a first battle at Marathon and the Persians left. But then at 480 b.c. Persians came back, and while most Greeks run scared to escape, Spartans decided to face them at Thermopylae a very short passage, (very far from the city) from where Persians couldn't not pass to go further down Greece. The Spartans, with their leader Leonidas were 300, 400 Thebeans, 700 Thespies and were facing the Persians who were 300.000. Due to the narrow passage and their strategy they were winning for a long time, like 2 days but then on the 3rd they were betrayed by someon of their own, Ephialtes (which now is the greek word for nightmear) and he showd Persians a secret route and they managed to come from behind Spartans. So the later were now sarounded and they were facing Persians at two fronts. Unfortunatly all Spartans died along whith the others. No one even tried to escape. And the Persians moved forward and they were finally beaten at a battleship facing the Atheneans at Salamina. Freaking long text but I'm Greek and I'm also studying History and Archaeology so it's like this mentioning of the Spartans were made for me lol

I appreciate how when you discuss culture you’re very clear that you don’t know and aren’t an expert! It says a lot about your character that you can say those things, so thank you! Speaking more on the patriarchy thing-for that scene that brought up the conversation, in that moment it was probably more about filial piety than the patriarchy (though gender roles are certainly very involved here too). This whole movie is really centred around the idea of filial piety and ancestral worship/respect. Children are not supposed to speak back to their elders, especially parents, and especially female children, hence why Mulan’s father got mad-she was being incredibly disrespectful. (I couldn’t imagine yelling back at my parents or grandparents, like it’s wild.) Traditionally she should defer to his decisions. This comes at war with her own love and care for her dad obviously, and it can be considered a type of filial piety in her running away to the army, as she’s doing so to protect her family. If she doesn’t get caught, she brings honor to the family (and it’s established at the beginning that she’s not expected to bring honor via traditional expectations for women). But yeah, hard to separate that from gender roles and patriarchal systems; Asian cultural and family dynamics are complicated and hard to explain to those not raised in such cultures, so for all that this movie kinda butchers the original legend of Mulan, it’s such a fantastic movie, especially in a time where Asian culture wasn’t very known or celebrated in the US. (Compared to now, with anime, k pop, globalisation and internet culture leading to greater interest in Asian cultures.) (Source: I come from an Asian family, not Chinese though.)

If people seem angry or rude in the comments about comparisons to Japan, it’s likely not personal. Japan did extreme damage to other East Asian countries in the 20th century including China and Korea and this has led to increased sensitivity about preserving culture and keeping it from being Japanese in some cases bc for so long Japan imposed itself as the superior culture and race. So if anyone gets angry at what are understandable comparisons or confusions on your part, that might be the reason, so don’t take it too personally. Japan’s truly unimaginable atrocities sadly go largely under discussed in japan and non Asian countries

So it's my understanding that the arranged marriages (not just in China, but many cultures) was about a) strategic connections between families for wealth and power, but also b) setting up a marriage to succeed based on compatibility. The matchmaker tries to pair people based on indicators of how well they'll get along, even if those indicators are based on arbitrary cultural structures (such as zodiac stuff). I think the idea was setting up two basically strangers to build their relationships slowly over time, as some consider relationships based on attraction and passions -- marrying for choice / romantic love today -- would be too volatile for successfully raising a family. (in some cases, they might have a point lol).

If I recall what I read in the rabbit hole that this movie sent me down as a kid correctly, the super pale makeup was to culturally suggest that a woman's family was well-off enough that she didn't need to be working outside in the sun to get by, she could stay inside and do more chill tasks, so I think it's kind of a class marker. Coming from a wealthier family made you more appealing as a wife, because dowry. Whether or not that visual indication is accurate in a specific woman's case is a different matter, but similarly to how many people will dress fancier than their normal wear for important occasions today. Like a job interview, you dress to impress and put your "best" face forward.

A lot of the "a woman's place is in the home" stuff came from the fact that women are the ones who give birth, and in older times pregnancy (exactly how it happened, what kind of things might be risky to the pregnancy, etc) and the best practices for child labor were more or less unknown. It wasn't at all uncommon for a woman to die in labor or from an infection contracted during labor or the 6-8 weeks afterward. And if she survived, then she needed to be the one nursing the child and caring for it. In Chinese culture in particular, when a daughter married, she left her birth family behind for good and became part of her husband's family. It was a son's duty to marry so that he could have heirs for the family name and property, and so he could find a woman to bring into the house who would be responsible for looking after his parents in their old age. So, naturally, a family preferred to have sons over daughters because the daughters would leave home whereas the son stayed.

Fun fact: the Great Wall of China in this movie looks like the ming dynasty one (1368-1644 AD) which is also the version that stands today but the group a lot of people assume was an early version of the Huns, the Xiongnu, attacked the Han dynasty (202 BCE-205AD) when the Great Wall was mostly made of mud and sticks.
@LaSuerte36Ай бұрын
Actually this period of history happened after the Han Dynasty. After the Xiongnu匈奴 were defeated, they scattered and fled. One of their families (Tuoba拓拔) later established the Northern Wei北魏 and entered the Southern and Northern Dynasties南北朝 (420-589). Hua Mulan fought for the emperor Tuoba Tao拓拔焘 for twelve years (emperor was actually very young at the time). I think the huns in this movie refers to the Rouran at that time. Shanyu was Xiongnu‘ s honorific title for the tribal leader, not the name of a specific person. The movie isn’t correct, as they don't call shanyu anymore after 420. Both Rouran and Northern Wei called it Khan可汗.
@lizzieheart709Ай бұрын
@ ah yeah now that you say it the Huns being the Rouran makes a lot of sense. I was going off of the Xiongnu being the group implicated often when someone references the huns and China but as you point out, the historical context and original poem don’t actually line up that well with that guess. It’s so funny that no matter what group they maybe mean by the Huns, that ming dynasty Great Wall is still a very goofy inclusion even tho it probably was done so the audience would know it was the Great Wall. Thank you for sharing and correcting me. I really like history, including Chinese history, and this was a cool set of facts

She fought for 12 years and even ended up leading the troops at one point. When she finally goes back home as a declared war hero, everyone discovers her true gender and she finds that her father had died while she was gone and that her mother remarried. Then the opposing emperor (the Khan) summoned Mulan to his palace and tried to force her into becoming his concubine. She ordered her younger sister to deliver and goodbye letter to her fiancée (the general) and she took her own life with a sword because she would’ve rather died by her own hand than serve a foreign ruler.

Keep in mind Disney is not an accurate representation of the history of other cultures, it's a fictional story loosely based on an old fable- Mulan served 12 years in the military until fellow soldiers realized she was a woman and they were just surprised but celebrated her. Mulan had an actual brother who could have gone to war but Mulan decided to go even so because she felt it was what was right. This is an old fable and unknown if based on a real female solider. Yes there have been matriarchal societies in history, and China did have periods in time where women could write books, do important jobs, depending on their social status and other factors. It has not always been extremely oppressed against the people. Be careful not to stereotype other races or countries based on what you see in fictional films and if you're curious , look up and educate yourself on what other countries and their history was all about.

Also Chinese dragons don't breathe fire but water. It's western influence that gave rise to fire breathing dragons. But the chopsticks at the beginning being in the rice would've caused hands to be thrown. The chip sticks in rice look like incense they use for prayer. So doing that around others is telling them to go die 😂

The reason they put on that much make up on. It’s a traditional thing to look like a porcelain doll it was all in the first song

War never changes. I'd highly recommend watching the Fallout series! Great series, and relatively short, only 8 episodes (only 1 season out right now, but its been renewed for a second season)

The story of Mulan likely originated in Northern China during the Northern Wei Period (386-535 CE). The original version of the story, The Poem of Mulan, was written in the 6th century CE. Even tho there's no evidence that Mulan was a real person, the story may have been inspired by the wars between the northern Wei dynasty and the Rouran. The ancien China or any old culture of a country pretty muchbis based on the patriarchy and hierarchy of traditional Chinese society, also the makeup Mulan was wearing is supposed to have meaning & its of the whole the whiter you are the more desirable & from a wealthy family you are while if you had darker skin the you are pretty much poor or even a commoner in the eyes of those from high status families. Women were pretty much forbidden to join the army & were ment to stay at home to cook clean & even take care of children if married. All the songs are amazing in the movie & my favorite song is Reflection, I'll Make a Man out of you, & A Girl Worth Fighting For. The song A girl worth fighting for was the last song & its to implicate that the little girl was who they were fighting for since even tho they never showed the dead bodies of the innocent village people especially the girl who lost her doll, its really sad. This is my absolute favorite Disney movie. Also idk if you knew but Eddie Murphy voiced Mushu it's not hard to tell lol 😆

The reason they wear that much makeup is because it was a beauty standard in older china

Bruh what are you talking about, in India there were brutal arranged marriages, but not not anymore, you are right dont talk about something you dont know without understanding it properly, im literally an architect and im gonna get married to the guy my parents choose for me, parents do a lot of research before getting you married to someone, 90% of the people in are arranged married and they did not fight against it and they are totally happy and yes my friends were asked if they like other people…and YES WOMEN DO WORK, having a proper degree is very important in India, even when u get married they see the education the both sides , and most men prefer women that work and if they dont want to they support the women. Such a baseless western mentality bruh. I was so excited to watch this video man

My friend has a construction company all of the family members are civil engineers, he did tell his parents that he has a girlfriend and they said it’s ok but then later he decided to go with the girl that his family chooses even the girlfriend was like ok coz parents are more important to him, then they found a girl who did her masters in finance to handle the finances of the home and the company, and now they are totally in love and living happily ever after. So don’t be so quick to judge please

You saying "you see how china went" (obviously in the past) but not acknowledging that the christian catholic bases of the US were exactly the same "The woman shall not wear men's clothing, nor shall the man put on women's clothing" 22:5, it actually meant: no man will evade war nor will any woman fight... like... those were also THE AMERICAN PRINCIPALS!! And this is a story (legend or mythology) was banned from China because of the American Disney view on it... You know.... Mushu (looking dragons interpreted as something sacred in China) interpreted as something a comedic thing.... Like... I think you understand the insult.

Also: in Asia there were Women warriors.... So... It's not a gender belief (that is SOOOO of the western belief)... and thus the Chinese CIVILIZATION (not sayin we should be like them because thy are way more "civil", just acknowledging it) actually found this movie insulting, while in the US was SOOO new and SO innovative
