Currently, the much-watched Disney film "Mulan" is in the "slobber period" before its release. Affected by the epidemic, the domestic release date of the film has not been finalized.
movie "Mulan" released a set of new role posters, Liu Yifei played Hua Mulan, Donnie Yen played General Tang, Gong Li played the priestess of Rouran, Jet Li played the Northern Wei emperor Tuoba Shi, Li Ji played Shan Yu, An Yousen As Chen Honghui. The movie with Mulan as the theme has been reproduced twice by Disney. The first time was a traditional Disney animation film. This time it finally ushered in a live-action film, but the style of painting is indeed a bit strange.
Judging from the current character makeup photos, it is still partly loyal to the historical background. Hua Mulan's deeds took place during the Northern Wei Dynasty. The character costumes have wide shoulders and big sleeves. I wonder if it is to cater to the European and American audiences’ understanding of Chinese culture. In the stills, the author can always find some styles of the Tang Dynasty. You must know that the Northern Wei Dynasty is in the front of the Tang Dynasty. Although it is an artistic process, the perception still has a sense of age.
We all know that it was the Rouran country that was at war with the Northern Wei Dynasty. The tribal khanate that rose after the Huns and Xianbei on the Mongolian grasslands, with cavalry as the main fighting force, was very powerful. At the time, the Northern Wei Army, headed by "Marshal He", was actually not capable of defeating Rouran in a single round.
General Tang? ?
General Tang, played by Donnie Yen, is either an artistic process or a blank understanding of culture. The first is the style of armor, not the rigorous style of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It was the Rouran country that fought against the Northern Wei Dynasty. On the Mongolian grasslands, the tribal khanates that emerged after the Xiongnu and Xianbei, mainly cavalry, are very powerful. At the time, the Northern Wei Army, headed by "Marshal He", was actually not capable of defeating Rouran in a single round.
Let’s talk about Jet Li, who played Tuoba Hong, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The appearance of this character is also too strange. The Northern Wei Dynasty, the regime formed after the five chaos of China, was an important policy at that time, and the costume culture moved closer to the Jin Dynasty. The dress system should be similar to that of the Three Kingdoms and Jin Dynasty.
Hollywood produced these costume films, not to mention loyalty to historical facts, even loyalty to language and race. It’s not difficult to understand why Liu Yifei’s version of "Mulan" uses English dialogue throughout. In addition to these, there are of course Westerners On the issue of Chinese cultural understanding, some people joked that Victoria's Secret Asian female models can see the peculiar understanding of Asian aesthetics by Westerners. The author personally does not support Hollywood’s over-distorting of Chinese culture and template-style TV shooting, which is not a good thing from any angle.
