A sad realization I came to with the father saying she needed to learn her place is that he's accepted he will die if he goes to war and won't be able to protect her anymore. That she will have to follow society's rules because he will no longer be able to protect her. Also keep in mind that our main villain didn't refer to Mulan as (or be surprised she was) a woman. He just referred to her as "the warrior at the pass." The Huns didn't discriminate against women being warriors.

[@lindapao350]

Wow, the enemy were the only ones who weren't sexist😅

[@Bunny99s]

@@lindapao350 Right. This should be a lesson to anyone and applies in general: You're not always right, the others are not always wrong. It's important to not think in dichotomies and strict black and white / good and evil thinking. Reality is much more complicated and many issues even today often have more than two sides and none of them may be in the right. Values differ among cultures. You don't have to accept or value what others value, but at least try to understand and respect other points of view. Yes, some positions are indefensible, but even the most atrocious terrorist has some values you would actually agree with. Trying to stereotyping the other side usually just fuels the division and grows hatred. Always question your own position and try to defend the values you treasure instead of trying to dehumanizing the enemy in order to make it easier to despise them.

[@aidanjanemcintosh6919]

@@lindapao350 less of not being sexist, but more effective. Many 'barbarian' tribe in history usually do not discriminate by genders, like VIking for example, because their mindset is using what they have for more firepower to survive. Conversely a lot of more developed civilization tend to, I won't say discriminate, but they have different roles for each genders as their culture is more developed and thus more structured. Each have their pros and cons.

[@vladimirofsvalbard9477]

@@lindapao350 If you are in conquest (external civilization); there is essentially no need to subjugate women. You simply add each town and city as an asset after you force submission. The growth comes thru war! Civilizations of (internal) growth MUST subjugate women and let me explain why. If women become educated and free; they will choose to have fewer children. Fewer children inevitably implodes a 'growth' civilization. Even one such as ours. Society cannot support the weight of necessity when there are not enough young people to take their parent's place. I'm not arguing for the subjugation of women; I'm simply explaining cause and effect.

I loved this movie as a kid but getting to rewatch and actually understand things as an adult makes it so much better

39:17 - in his culture (Mongolia and that area), due to harsh living conditions, women had to be capable fighters and some became warriors, so he was not surprised to see a woman. Ghengins Khan's great-great-greatdaughter, Khutulun was a famous warrior and was considered the best fighter in her father's army.

[@vetarlittorf1807]

Are they Mongolians? I thought they were based on the Xiongnu and only called them Huns (who were descended from the Xiongnu) to be recognized by westerners.

[@ScarlettM]

@@vetarlittorf1807 I'm not familiar that closely with Mulan's myth to say if they were Xiongnu. From what I know about Mongolia, the Huns looked like they were from those parts, both facial features and clothing and even horses (in Mongolia they favor smaller, quick horse).

[@vetarlittorf1807]

@@ScarlettM Well, the story takes place in the 2nd century AD. And China's enemies back then were the Xiongnu. Although the Xiongnu were basically proto-Mongolians, proto-Huns and proto-Turks.

[@ScarlettM]

@@vetarlittorf1807 I think you are off by at least a century. Mulan was born in either 3rd or 4th century. At that time, proto Mongols were call Shiwei. Maybe it's another name for Xiongnu, but I didn't reference to that.

[@vladimirofsvalbard9477]

Huns are a people that came from just East of the Volga in modern day Russia. Women are trained as fighters in civilizations that focus on external growth; growth thru war. Internal growth civilizations MUST subjugate women or else their birth rates implode and the society becomes vulnerable to inevitable collapse.

[@Nonalhomophobie]

39:18 : Actually he didn't care she was a woman, which ironically makes him the only male character who doesn't treat her as inferior in the entire show.

My favourite detail about this film is that after the group discover the burned down village, there are no more songs. It completely changes tone once they truly realise the seriousness of the situation and find the girl worth fighting for (the child). Also I'll make a man out of you is an amazing karaoke song.

[@tiffanychristinesmith3939]

You skipped my favorite part! Mulan: "Would you like to stay for dinner?" Grandma: "WOULD YOU LIKE TO STAY FOREVER?!" Shang: "Dinner, Would be great."

[@Hamantha]

39:21 fun fact, the Huns were actually a lot more accepting of women being soldiers, so him being surprised by her being the soldier from the mountain and not said soldier being a women was accurate in a way

[@OpticalSorcerer]

Shan Yu is an underrated villain, and Mulan and Shang are underrated Disney royalty. I hope Disney makes a Broadway musical out of this (obviously with more songs).

[@mevb]

Little Brother (who is a reference to the legend where Mulan does have a younger brother but he was too young to be a soilder) is voiced by Story Supervisor Chris Sanders, who would later direct Lilo and Stitch and voice the second title character.

[@VerchielxKanda]

In Ancient China, honor was a big deal. If you and your family were dishonored, you were considered by your peers as less than an insect. "I'll get that arrow, pretty boy. And I'll do it with my shirt ON." is my favorite quote in this movie. Also the Huns had female soldiers as well, so Shan Yu saw her as just that, the soldier who took his army down. So she became enemy #1. In the original legend, Mulan had a younger brother, but he was way too young to go to war. Glad they included a puppy named Little Brother. Also, the original legend ended tragically.

[@SusanaCanales1]

How did the original legend end?

[@thopazonyx4440]

​@@SusanaCanales1Until the end of the war, no one knew that she was a woman. She obtained a high military rank. After the war, she returned to her family home, and after a few years the soldiers wanted to visit their commander. Then, instead of a man, they saw a woman working at a loom.

[@Doodle52]

@@thopazonyx4440 i was expecting something much darker when the original ending was described as tragic

[@thopazonyx4440]

​@@Doodle52If you want something darker, I recommend Mulan from 2009. It's based on the legend, but they also took things/plots from the Disney version.

[@SablePhantom]

🤣 Actually it was one of those water spitting moment for a lot of Asian who watched in the same movie theater with me. We were definitely the minority during that showing so about 20% in a sold out showing are Asian. When Mulan called out "Little Brother!" And a DOG showed up, ALL the Asian in the theater chuckled... followed by ALL the non-Asian audience staring at nearest Asian like we're all crazy and not getting what's so funny about that 😂

[@Pochitaman30]

Everytime i hear the soundtrack when Mulan was about to be ready for war always gives me goosebumps and teary eyed. One of Disney's best movie ever

Reaction recommendation: it’s not Disney but it’s dreamworld. Spirit stallion of the cimarron is quite literally a masterpiece and there’s no movie like it. The soundtrack is legendary!

[@disneydatenite]

Thanks for the recommendation

[@justin_b.]

I absolutely love this movie, but these days whenever I think about it it I get a tinge of sadness because of the appalling disgrace that is the remake. All of the Disney remakes are terrible and insulting, but the Mulan remake is the one that made me legitimately angry

Thank you!!

[@laticiadavis8627]

This is one of my favorites Disney movies mushu (eddie Murphy definitely outdid his self in this movie,I loved this movie because it showed that women were not dependent on men. They are and can be strong and heroic on their own.

[@MiniDebz]

in regards to the Great Stone Dragon: Mulan was sitting on the statue when she decided to take her fathers place in the army. The theory is that the Great Stone Dragon spirit is within Mulan already, hence the statue was empty when Mushu tried to awaken him.

[@zsmate2526]

[@bad-people6510]

The Great Wall of China was built little by little, restored and rebuilt, over the last several thousand years. It's not a single construction project or anything. What people think of most when they think of the wall was from roughly the 1500s.

[@DannyBedo]

Booya. This movie is the definition of feminism, a beautiful portrait of culture, and so god damn catchy with its songs. The importance of this movie for identity and representation is SO big important for the Asian community. Accented Cinema has an absolutely amazing breakdown of the true masterwork this movie is. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJTGeGCtqdlofKMsi=KflcYyENLydsUnDu PS. Don’t ever watch a Disney “live version”. They aren’t live, they’re 3D animated and all of them are worse than the actual love and effort put into the original animation, plus they cut out all the good songs.

[@DannyBedo]

@@gg8264 oh no. Nah. I think you fundamentally misunderstand feminism. It hasn’t changed since ancient china. It hasn’t changed since the entire history of women, coloreds and queers. To say todays feminism has some overarching power destroying the system as we know it is inherently wrong. We would not function without feminism, or defense of the minorities who are historically discriminated against.

[@jch6809]

@@gg8264 i still don't consider today's "feminism" to have any merit. it's come about due to the echo chambers that chronically online people create and participate in. feminism today is just misandry. as a woman, it should be to equal opportunities between the sexes.

[@siobhonc]

I love how he asks her "did you ever have a childhood?"😂😂😂

[@fawfulfan]

It is actually period-accurate that the matchmaker would be on the large side and criticizing Mulan for being too skinny. In that era, being overweight was considered beautiful because it was a sign you were wealthy enough to eat however much you wanted.

Fun Fact: Singing Mulan and singing Jasmine i si just one person named Lea Salonga. She's probably the first and only (so far) one who became Disney "Princess" 2x.

You guys should watch "Spirit" if you haven't seen it already

[@disneydatenite]

We have not! Thank you!

[@mevb]

That thing that Mushu was riding on to get to the tower where the fireworks are, is a kite. Kites originated from China. In swedish it becomes a bit of a pun since dragon and kite are both called drake (pron. draah-keh, plural drakar). On a side note, the guys who fire the fireworks and later jumps off when Mushu appears, are caricatures of the directors Tony Bancroft and Barry Cook.

[@RandiPoitras]

So, funny story. When I was a kid my brother watched wwe wrestling and the first time I saw mulan I thought the ssong line "scarier than The Undertaker" was talking about the wrestler because I didn't know what an undertaker was yet xD

The farmer ancestors (whose the husband say that the family will lose their farm if Mulan's being discovered) is prositioned as the farmer wife and husband in the painting American Gothic by Grant Wood.

[@silvermisst]

Fun fact, the writers intentionally cut the "girl worth fighting for" song short with the implied death of a little girl to show that they aren't fighting for glory or a bride but for the future generations. The " girl worth fighting for" is a little girl who gets to grow up in a world of peace.

The name “Ping” means flower vase, which in turn is a slang term for like gay/queer. Like, the Disney team might not get everything correct when they do cultural stuff (especially 25 years ago) but dang they do always have some hidden stuff in there that you’ll never understand until someone explicitly tells you about it, or if you happen to be from that specific cultural context yourself.
