“Mulan” (1998)

Mulan



This story always intrigued me when I saw it in books, and I wanted to give the film a shot. I loved it. I loved the themes, I loved the characters, I loved the plot. But I couldn’t reconcile several things with my conscience: the ancestors (I didn’t know they were such a part of the plot), and the cross-dressing (I know, its a part of the story, but it really bothers me). I hate to quit, but I don’t feel right going on, so it’s a DNF.

  1. Never commented here before, so...hello! *waves awkwardly*

    I've never seen Mulan in its entirety, but from what I have seen, I expect large parts of it would bug me - I doubt I'll ever bother seeing it.

    ...but, that being said, I do have quite a weakness for "I'll Make a Man Out of You." (Let's get down to business...to defeat...the Huns...)

  2. Hi, so happy to hear from you!! <3

    Yeah, it wasn't what I expected, haha. I don't recall the songs, but personally I LOVED the dragon XD and I've seen enough memes to know I would love many parts of the film. Oh well. XP

    1. I think the only songs I really listened to were that one and "Reflection," which didn't really do as much for me :P Hehe, it seems like he's pretty much the universal favorite character xD It's a shame when they do something to spoil a movie you'd like otherwise, isn't it?
