So that her Father doesn’t have to go to war, Mulan (Ming-Na
Wen), disguises herself as a man and joins the army in his place (to defeat…
THE HUNS). She’s a bit rubbish in training to start with but undergoes a
dramatic transformation and ends up being amazing. She deals with the Hun
problem, restores honour for her family, and gets a man. Top marks!
I love how different this film is to yesterday’s Cinderella.
Cinderella doesn’t stand up for herself and eventually marries a man who she
just met because (I’m guessing) he was attractive and danced with her. Mulan,
however, tries to do what is right for her family while still remaining true to
her character. She saves her Father and the rest of China from death at the
hands of the Huns, and she is respected by the men she has trained with in the
army.
Really like this film. And the songs are great.
9/10
