I really think that the live action movie was doomed when they removed Shang, aka, Mulan's character foil. basically, Mulan and Shang are, respectively, raised in femininity, and raised in masculinity. they even have parallel people to impress... Mulan fails early on to impress the matchmaker, and Shang is constantly watched, and his actions recorded, by this smarmy little advisor dude who is literally never impressed. this movie is a critique of both feminine expectations and masculine expectations... and Mulan's view of masculinity from the outside, is what affords her the perspective to realize when it isn't helpful or effective. what we know of Shang and his dad, is that his dad is a general, and Shang looks up to him. it might not even be his father's expectations that are set particularly high... but Shang is nervous about the idea of disappointing his father, and that's why he's so hard on his men. he really wants to whip them into shape, in a way that will fulfill everyone's expectations. compare that to what Mulan is here to do... she's here to save her father from being drafted despite his age and disability. she's breaking every rule by being here, putting herself at very high risk of getting found out and executed, and she's even willing to do something that goes against her father's wishes, if it will keep him out of harm's way. the scene with the burned village, and the scene where Mulan is revealed to be a woman, are a one-two punch of themes coming home to roost. in the scene with the burned village, Shang learns that his father died. it didn't matter how much Shang tried to impress his father... the masculine expectation that men go to war brought Shang's father to his death. and when Mulan is revealed to be a woman, Shang learns that she took her father's place in order to save his life... and it worked. Shang can't really call Mulan wrong for what she did. her father is still alive, safe at home, as a direct result of her actions, and Shang can't say that for himself. if there was a way for him to have saved his own dad, he'd like to think he would've taken it... but honestly, even if there was, he still might not have had the courage to go against expectations like she did. and then we see Shang faced with another expectation... when Mulan's gender is revealed, he's supposed to kill her on the spot. he doesn't do that though, and that's where we see the first indication of him starting to break with his own role as well. she's affecting him. Mulan is characterized early on as an out-of-the-box thinker, and it affects everything, big and small. initially, her problem was "how do I save my dad?" and she came up with an out-of-the-box solution. that goal of saving people she cares about is really the only purpose Mulan's actions need to serve throughout the movie, and if a gender role or societal expectation obstructs that goal, she'll find some way around it, because it's only a nuisance to her. and conversely, if there's a gendered quality or societal attribute that she can use to her advantage, she'll find a way to do that too. she even saves everyone, including Shang, with her plan to cause an avalanche... by the time she's found out to be a woman, she's more than proven herself. whatever she's doing is working, and her only goal is to return everyone around her home safely. with that in mind, it makes perfect sense that Mulan would choose to return home at the end of the movie. and when she does, there's one last trick that the movie has yet to pull with Shang. back in that era, when a woman was matched with a man and they were married, she would leave her family's home and go to live with her husband and his family. but Mulan left to fight, and her father is so happy to have her back in his home, that he casts aside the sword and the medallion. and obviously when Shang turns up at their doorstep, nothing very committed is forged between him and Mulan just yet. but looking at the situation... he shows up at her family's house, her mom and dad are there, her grandmother explicitly calls this "going to war and bringing back a man" and just to make it really clear, when the offer "you should stay for dinner" is made, the grandma says "you should stay forever!" and on top of that, the only family member of Shang's that we were introduced to in the movie is gone, so as far as we know, he might be in need of a family to return home to. this is a gender role reversal that ties in with the matchmaking expectations from the beginning of the movie. literally, if you take Shang out, you take out one of the big main pillars that supports this movie's themes. I absolutely cannot believe that they would leave in Yao, Ling, and Chien Po while snubbing Shang... like, don't get me wrong, I love all three of those guys, and they definitely pull their own thematic weight, especially with the drag part at the movie's climax, but Shang is arguably so much more essential, and deflates the movie's meaning so much more egregiously with his absence. (also, this is why Shan Yu doesn't have to be all that interesting. the main "villain" of this story is restrictive expectations... Shan Yu is just a threat. and the ways that Shang, Mulan, or anyone else is restricted, only makes it harder for them to deal with threats of any kind. the characters succeed when they refuse to let decorum dictate what they're capable of.)

Funfact: While the rest of China back than gave girls limited chances, the Huns on the other hand were the opposite. The boss hun (cant spell his name) fought Mulan as an equal even after finding out who she was. He never questioned why a girl was trying to fight him, and when she revealed herself he specified "Soldier" not "Man" bc for huns, men and women had capabilities for battle as soldiers or generals (too bad they never showed that aspect in EITHER movie) They done did Mulan like they did the last air bender, DIRTY AND SERIOUS

I'm so mad they cut Shang (among other things) because Shang has genuine stakes in the war and has to grow in similar ways to mulan. He's also trying to prove himself and find his place but is forced to take on more responsibility when his father dies, leaving him in charge. People don't give him enough credit as a character who's on a quest to find identity and self worth just like Mulan.

Additionally I noticed this pattern where they seemingly cannot have the female lead learn from a male (elder/superior/what have you) Like Belle is now an inventor and her dad is just a sad clock maker widower (no longer an inventor). Mulan 2020, couldn’t learn the basics of combat from her father, that’s just from her in-born chi. She doesn’t really learn with the men in her camp, because she always had the ability thanks to the magic of chi. Captain marvel, where carol’s mentor and idol was marr-vel gender-swapped in the film version. I don’t get it, I’d be curious what mental gymnastics are involved in being allergic at depiction of such a relationship. I think Mulan 2020, just did it the most blatantly and even other lefty/progressive reviewers have to acknowledge this isn’t great story telling. It’s NOT because you have a woman in the lead or being stronger/smarter/whatever. Just that these characters are flat cardboard statements.

Oh yeah, I forgot something. In this version, there was no reason for Mulan to replace her father in this draft. The captain fellow says straight away anyone that doesn't live up to their rather high standards will be sent home. In the original, Mulan was only told to shove off because she was basically useless at everything. In this movie her father, who is even older and more frail than the original, would certainly have been sent home quickly. In the original he was subpar, but he wasn't nearly as bad an option as Mulan. He WAS a soldier, and Mulan is just some random little girl with no experience doing, ANYTHING relating to war. Hell she doesn't even have experience in manual labor. Why would THIS Mulan need to replace her father if their standards are oh so high? If their standards are so high, why would they recruit an old man in the first place?
@insulttothehumanrace3807

Bear in mind, live-action Mulan has different motivations and values than animated Mulan. Live-action Mulan has magic that would make her a great warrior, and she what she desires is the chance to prove herself as a super awesome warrior; she has to put aside that desire to honor her family and culture. This Mulan sees replacing her father as a chance to be the fighter she feels she is meant to be; she probably would have gone regardless of whether it would have spared her father. But to address your original point, there are two possibilities for why they'd still want Mulan's father... 1. They're just that desperate. Considering Boring Khan and his forces actually have magic abilities this time around, and the Chinese troops are shown to be massacred, the recruiter might have been willing to just take anybody, then later put the weaker ones in other roles than direct combat. (though, considering Dad couldn't even stand for long enough to accept the conscription, I'm not sure what role he could be put in...) 2. He might be brought along for military advice. He does exposit that he served in the army in past battles, so his experience could be useful for strategizing. (this one also falls apart, though, since if that was why they wanted him they would have sent Mulan back when she/"he" is carrying Dad's conscription and Dad outright said *that he had no sons* ) ... Not that either of these would help the movie in any significant way. It's still garbage.

They copied that whole "[insert anything wrong here], Penalty: Death", from a Chinese Mulan film and they still found a way to screw up the stakes by giving a method of expulsion. Part of the point of the animated was that Shang spared Mulan against custom because she had saved his life and not been a problem at any point after training. No one but that one secretary wanted her end, so they left her behind so she could 'get away' as far as anyone else would know. The Chinese Mulan (I believe its called "Mulan: Rise of a Warrior" and has an english subtitled version on youtube) film that Disney plagiarized some segments from lets her have1, 2 friends later who know her identity. Then she fights FOR WELL OVER A DECADE eventually becoming a general. She makes some great moves & bad ones that cost lives. She gets the final kill needed to end the war and retires. Bitersweet

I hate that the ending spits in the face of the original. Mulan's father says initially that he didn't care about his lost sword and that none of her actions mattered to him, he was just happy to have her back. THEN the army comes in and says "The emperor made you a sword," and the father's like "The Sword says you are all 3 virtues! You have brought honor to us all!" At the very least, they could have reversed the two scenes. Have the army come first to hand Mulan the sword and have her give it to her father, only for him to throw it on the ground and say that she brought honor to her family even without the emperor's sword. I guess Im just echoing the original...

14:45 here's another problem. It's small, but shows the mentality many amateur writers have: they confuse edginess with maturity. In the original movie, we can see the corpses. But it's still a movie featured for children, so we have our main characters foreground and the corpses are on the background. Mulan 2020 put the corpses on the foreground and the main characters on the background because "wE r n0t f0R chIldREn!" mentality. But, ironically, in the children's movie, they show better the horrors of war. They didn't want to show dead bodies to children, so they decided to show us the characters expressions: horror, sadness, even nausea. All of them react in some way, and it doesn't matter if they are comic relief or an antagonist or background nameless characters. That's one of the reasons that scene is so memorable, because many times we are more shocked by how other people react surround us, instead by the horror itself. And if we add that scene is a huge contrast with what we see previously...there are not more songs (this song cut one), they changed the colour palette to more red and less green and blue until the end, and they also change the soundtrack from there. But Mulan 2020, the only thing I think is...oh well, those are dead bodies. Moving on...

^ All of this, plus... It isn't a new sight for the audience, either. This scene came after several scenes of the Borons (or whatever they're called) massacring outposts and defenses. We have seen the force that did this, we have seen how they do it. No build up or tension, just repetition. The original smartly built up to this moment. While we've seen the menace of the Huns in a few scenes, we don't quite see what they're really capable of or willing to do until this one shocking moment. THIS really hammers in to both the recruits and the audience how much of a threat the Huns are.

I didn't think about that before either, but damn. That adds another layer to that scene and helps flesh out her motivations. She went to save her father yes, but didn't go home when Shang gave her an out because she wanted to prove her own worth to herself. After her sex was discovered she fully intended to go home. She instead chose to go to the city because people she cared about and her country wete in danger. She was the only one who knew. She could have let them deal with it after how they treated her, but she is a better, stronger person than that. There's too much to loose and too many people who have suffered already. That doll is the perfect representation of this motivation. I hate how this film reduces her to I know my place and must protect Emperor-sempai. Where is the struggle, the personal risk, the inner conflict, the 2nd thoughts? They have NO IDEA what made people love Mulan in 1998.

One review of Mulan 2020 (don’t remember which one) sums up how they feel about Shan Yu and I think it fits really well. So basically the review stated Shan Yu isn’t a villain, he is a device that moves the external plot forward. The real conflict was with Milan’s inner turmoil with herself and who she is/is supposed to be. Adding that they have subtle details about how much a threat Shan Yu is, that you don’t even fully realize it until someone points it out is amazing in my opinion. It creates dialogue for people to discuss and talk about. Just blatantly stating/telling the audience, “Oh look Shan Yu is so resourceful, look at such a menacing person he is” like the audience is too dumb to even subconsciously realize it is insulting to your audience. Not to mention that it kills any dialogue that might happen when discussing the movie. I honestly didn’t realize that Shan Yu did this stuff until you mentioned it. Then it was like a light bulb moment where I went, “OMG! He does do that in the movie!” I knew that he was resourceful and a big bad that Mulan would have to face, but I didn’t realize how much he was that till now.

If you're a Woman and not born as the Chosen One, trying is futile and even ridiculous. You could never hope to achieve what Mulan did. SO THE SEXIST SYSTEM OF THE NATION WORKS!! It's right!

My absolute favorite moment in Mulan is when she realizes that she cannot accomplish her goal of reaching the top of the post with brute strength. The film is very honest. It doesn't obfuscate the reality that women are physically disadvantaged; we have smaller frames, less muscle mass, smaller hearts and lungs, etc. Most films would either ignore it and pretend otherwise or would introduce a (usually magical) equalizer. Mulan chooses to, instead, teach us that women can use our ingenuity to overcome obsticles in our own way. Mulan uses her lithe frame and superior dexterity to shimmy to the top. It was so inspiring to me as a little girl.

Then went one on one with the villain with a fan to grab his sword! She fought like a woman and a man without any powers! That’s why she is one of my favorites!

She's the absolute Exception - no other female Chinese could have done what she did. It cant be done by others. So trying is obviously useless. Get it? If you're a Woman and not born as the Chosen One, trying is futile and even ridiculous. You could never hope to achieve what Mulan did. SO THE SEXIST SYSTEM OF THE NATION WORKS!! It's right! Sexism WINS! Get it??? Mulan was just the Exception and if you're a Second-Class Citizen, just keep your head down!! Oh, and fun fact: This highly funded project only hired chinese actors, which is dumb enough, but then they did not filmed it in Chinese or in Chinese AND English, but no, only in English.

Chi isn’t even magic, it’s life in every person and things. Think of it as a soul. And the sorceress doesn’t even make sense because technically in ancient China witches were normal and even praised if anything into powerful positions in court. If her being shunned, it were to happen she would’ve been called a fox spirit for using “dark magic” then outcasted but not a witch because the term witch is different and eastern culture versus western culture. And can we talk about those three Chinese charcters on the sword. Like they literally have nothing to do with each other, they are just three random characters that were just put on there like some western Soldier’s sword. In traditional ancient Chinese if you were to put characters on your sword, they would have a message like “honour for my country” “fight for my emperor” “long live China” and stuff like that. Not “Peace, Justice, Virtue” “Honour, Tranquillity, Virtue”. Oh and we have the same name lol.

I had a really big problem with this because it's clear that Mulan and Shang's respect and love for each other isn't caused because she's a subordinate and he's a superior. And guess what? Women can be subordinates and have crushes on their boss, while the boss would be completely oblivious to it. To have this standard where because he's a man and her boss should imply it's problematic is highly damaging, not only to the actual problems of power dynamics but to the men who just want to live themselves. There's been an ongoing trend of male bosses being afraid of being alone with female co-workers and vice versa, so Disney just hit multiple birds with one stone with this one.

When my older brother quit taking lessons with me I didn't know if I could do it without him but Mulan did so I could at least try. I earned my black belt because of Mulan. If this was the Mulan I'd grown up with I would've never joined cause I'd have felt like there was no point in trying unless I had super powers to help me be as good as the men.

I remember when I was younger I had to go do this surgery thing. The doctor asked if I were scared, I said no, doctor said why. I responded with "Because Mulan was so brave and awesome!!! I wanna be like her 😍!" Same thing with your story, if the new ver. came out when I was younger and I watched it, I would have felt like I could 'poof' the doctor away with magic and make myself 'perfect' and 'fearless'🥹

If they needed the "they hate my powers" thing for her, they could've hit up Laika or watched Paranorman. That movie does it very well. In the movie, the big bad is a girl who was executed for being a "witch", all she did was talk to ghosts she could see. So they could've made it so the witch couldn't control her powers, such as pull an Elsa, maybe when she has extreme negative emotions she'll cast an extreme negative spell or something like that, maybe when she gets angry she ends up killing plants around her from the negative energy, so then the people around her are scared of her powers because they view it as a threat, making her feel like an outcast. Is easy.

God, I remember seeing it for the first time in theaters and coming out just loving it. My Dad, to this, day, will stop what he's doing and watch Mulan WITH me. We are both grow ass adults but, we still will watch this film together and have a fun time. Also, I have this memory as a little girl when I watched the film when it came out and looking at my Dad and saying, "I'd go to war for you, Daddy." My Dad said he about cried, so he gave me a hug.

There was a quiet confidence and competence about them, specially in the scene where they analzie the doll: This showcased tehy were experienced, ruthless and methodical, this something actually rare on the villain side, shwocasing them as actually competent across the board which in turn makes Mulan nd her gang of msifits victory over them all the more satysfying underdog triumph.

Aside the fact that they are competent, fearsome, serious, tactical, smart and skillful in many regards, have beautiful and amazing designs, they are never shown as sadistic psychos, think about it, they were shown as basically an horde, they weren't unnecessarily or unrealistically cruel, they used terror tactics (a common thing in the steppes folks), leave no one that could go back for revenge, and even when they came back after the mountains fight, they went to the imperial city, they could have go for the army remanents to kill them in revenge when they were weak, but they continued to what they went for, even when they were in the imperial palace, they didn't kill any innocent (they only wanted the emperor), and Shan Yū wanted him to surrender, showing him respect, and only tried to kill the emperor when he saw that he would never bow to him, the Huns were AMAZING.

Personally ; i love Shan Yu just because with just a few scenes here and there, the team come up with some ideas to show the type of man he is. A brute force of nature who is served by competent subordinates and want to crush the empire of china. That's it. He is not as great as other bad guys in disney's movies, he could not be well described and complex given his time on screen. But he do the job. What i appreciate with him is how he appear in the movie ; during the scene in the mountain he appear like a shadow along his army, in contrast with the white snow. How he hides and reveal himself on the roof of the palace in the latest scene. How his expressions goes during his talk with the emperor. He is not great, but they do what they can with a few scene, and he is well defined in his simplicy. And when i think of a villain, i always think of Shan Yu because he is well designed, well explained and the embodiment of a true menace coming down on the protagonist. And some people just tend to ridiculise him because of his extravagant facial features...

@@MargaretRodriguez9GenY "By building his wall, he challenged my strength" That's enough motive for me, at least for a villain: wants to prove himself the baddest chieftain of all by conquering this great nation. Sees the wall keeping him from what he wants as a challenge. And as many people, even a few commentators here, have pointed out, Shan Yu not being sexist makes the empowerment stronger. He doesn't see Mulan as just a woman, he sees what she was capable of. "The soldier from the mountains..." then immediately perceiving her as the main threat and focusing all his anger and killing intent on her... that's a level of recognition and respect that beats out beating any number of sexist pigs. (Also in Hun/Mongol tribes women sometimes also hunted or did other men's jobs, so Shan Yu would be no stranger to strong and capable females)

The Mulan (animated) story has many themes. One being how Mulan basically starts at the bottom wrung of society where the best she can hope for is to be a man's wife and to bare sons. One she was ready to accept just to do right by her family. Wanting to do right by her family, and keep her father alive, she joins the army. The movie ends with her having the Emperor himself and all of China bowing to her. That's growth. That's story telling.

Its baffling how this movie seems to have completely missed the underlying message of the first movie. In the original film, Mulan's greatest strength was not some corny chi magic, but her creativity and ingenuity, finding new and clever ways to achieve her goals. We see it early in the film when she uses her dog to feed the chickens faster, then later we see her get the arrow off that pole by rappeling with the weights. An in the climax, her comrades learn from her outside-of-the-box thinking to get into the palace, using the previous rappelling technique as well as disguises to sneak around, thus saving China from the Huns. It shows the true folly of sexism: when you arbitrarily render half the population as inferior, you lose out on gaining new insights and ideas.

There is no Li Shang either, but the male lead is also great. I seriously recommend it if anyone wants to watch a good movie instead of this garbage.

What I love about the cross dressing pillar climbing scene, is that the song that is playing while they do it is called ‘We Are Men’. It’s just so full circle, and honestly made me emotional. Seeing Mulan’s friends value her more than their commander, and drop most of their masculinity like Mulan drops her femininity, in order to save China WHILE STILL BEING AMAZING?! AND WHEN SHANG JOINS THEM IN CLIMBING THE PILLARS! disappointed he didn’t wear a dress, but still. It shows just how Mulan evolved throughout the movie. That scene was a golden move from the animated film.

Y’know that really iconic hair cutting scene that literally everyone who watched Mulan remembers? The live action removed that scene because it wasn’t accurate for Mulan to cut her hair since men in that time also let their hair grow out (at least that’s what I heard) So they removed a super iconic and cool scene because it would be culturally inaccurate…… then proceeded to make worse and even more culturally inaccurate scenes to replace it I think it would have been better if they’d just left it in At least that would have been a cool scene (and something I’d love to see in live action though I’m not sure how they’d do it since it’s actually pretty hard to cut your hair while it’s bunched up with only a sword)

Someone else said that it actually made her animated self more interesting and realistic, since criminals actually had their hair cut as a punishment, and so the reason everyone assumes that the reason "Ping's" father doesn't talk about him much is because "he" broke the law and "his" father is ashamed of that.

Here's the part that makes it fun. Back in the olden days, even if they got alot wrong, most of Disney's creators had to actually travel and learn about the places they were working on. In some way or another. People like Favreau and Caro just looked up youtube videos and google images for research and went to the latest hashtags to pander and just said: Done! We got it down.

Apparently one of the writers did go on a paid trip around Europe to look at... Chinese artifacts in museums? And I think around China too. But in this case, I feel like they could've just hired even one Chinese writer because of how insanely well-known Mulan is there. The ballad is apparently taught in primary schools. Just seems a bit odd.

Speaking of Shan Yu. I also thought he was a bland villain until I realized something years after watching the animated Mulan. The movie is about people trying to prove something. Mulan wants to prove that she can do things that men do. Mushu wants to prove that he can be a great spirit guardian. Shang wants to prove to his father that he can be a great general. Shan Yu wants to prove that he is the best warrior and general. He took the Great Wall of China as a challenge; something to prove that he can overcome.

I love this point but I would I would say that Mulan wanted to save her father from military conscription and prove that she was capable of bringing honour to her family As much as defying traditional gender roles is a main theme in the movie, I don't think it was ever her motive, just something she achieved in trying to protect her father

You can tell Disney is running out of ideas and originality when all they can do is make inferior versions of themselves. Also I can understand why the original Mulans villain was bland. The story was set mainly on Mulan and co. and few scenes for the villain. But the remake or whatever gave more scenes on him, and more screentime so you'd think they would try to improve on him. But they wasted it, and made the problem worse by adding a second bland as well. And it being a woman I knew they'd go with the "I'm bad, but strong Independent Woman Protagonist said something and now I am good" thing they do in such a bad way.
