time passed to 2004, Disney launched "Mulan 2", this "Mulan 2" completely lost the Chinese culture, purely export American-style liberal ideas, and advocate freedom of marriage. But everything has to have a degree. The three princesses sent by the emperor to be married fell in love with the three soldiers. Under the encouragement of Hua Mulan, they even wanted to "elope." This is too much. Are you sure that marriages in Chinese history looked like this?
1, 3 soldiers who cannot find a wife pursue 3 princesses.
In the animation, Hua Mulan called these three soldiers the best soldiers in China. It is true that in the first "Mulan", they were really brave. When Mulan almost fell into the cliff, they desperately pulled the rope and saved Mulan's life. Later, when they returned to the capital to save the emperor, they were also brave and fearless, and solved a lot of "shrimp soldiers". But "one yard goes to one yard", even if you have outstanding meritorious service, you can't destroy the important matter of marriage!
These three soldiers have their own criteria for choosing their mates. Ayao wants a girl who idolizes her 100%; Jinbao wants to find a girl who can cook three meals for herself; Aning wants to find a laugh. Girl.
Their mate selection standards are not high, but the matchmaker said that even if the old people go to the world, there is no way to find a girl suitable for them. I personally think that in ancient China, it was impossible for women to meet these simple requirements, especially those who only asked to cook three meals for themselves. This requirement is too low. Obviously, Disney's investigation of ancient Chinese women is somewhat perfunctory in this regard.
The process of the three soldiers pursuing the three princesses was too romantic and idealistic, completely out of touch with reality.
Ayao fell in love with the princess Xiaomei at first sight. When Xiaomei got on the carriage, the shoes fell off. He helped Xiaomei put on the shoes, and then he won Xiaomei’s heart in the subsequent exchanges. Let the relationship heat up quickly.
For Campbell, what he does is much more "simple", but it's too rude, you know, you are facing a princess. I don't know why a father-in-law picked the fruit himself, and then fell from the fruit tree, and then a soldier happened to follow her. In short, everything seems too ideal and incredible.
is the soldier Aning. He claims that he wants to find a girl who loves to laugh, but what he likes is Princess Tingting who doesn't seem to laugh very much. Of course, he managed to catch up with Princess Tingting and turned Princess Tingting into a girl who can laugh, but the words she used in the pursuit are too greasy. There is a feeling of unreliability.
Their methods of pursuing the princess are slightly frivolous, and the result is also very ideal. As for motives, it makes me want to fall in loveNo, it is no longer as simple as "marrying Bai Fumei and embarking on the pinnacle of life". It is even more likely to betray the country.
Disney's "Mulan 2" advocates American freedom of marriage, but it must not violate the patriotic patriotism of ancient Chinese soldiers of "first the country and then the family". For such soldiers, such love, I cannot accept it.
2. The marriage is of great significance, and the princess’s behavior is counterintuitive. The emperor
told Hua Mulan and General Li Xiang that our princesses all know their responsibilities. But the three princesses still asked Hua Mulan on the way to their relatives: "What is responsibility?" Hua Mulan's answer was quite philosophical: "Responsibility is to follow your own feelings." In the end, all three of them followed their own feelings. But their "feeling" puzzled me, because they fell in love with the three soldiers who guarded them. The configuration of
and pro team is too simple, three princesses, three soldiers, Hua Mulan and General Li Xiang, a group of 8 people in total. The princesses did not have a maid to take care of them. Even picking fruits had to be done by the princesses, which undoubtedly created a lot of opportunities for the three soldiers to contact them. In my opinion, the pursuit of these three soldiers is not possible to impress the princess. If there is an accident, then only one pair can be successful. Compared with the collective "fallen" of the three princesses, I am very uncomfortable. What makes me even more uncomfortable is that the animation also uses singing and dancing to show the princesses' carnival after falling in love.
until the end, the three soldiers embraced the princess as they wished.
The three princesses, regardless of national interests, turned and threw themselves into the arms of the three soldiers. Although this is their own choice, it is far from the image of a princess in Chinese history in my impression. "The country is about to die, why do you want to be your home?" I cannot accept such a princess.
3, I cannot accept Hua Mulan and General Li Xiang who believe in "love first". When emperor
explained the task of escorting Hua Mulan and General Li Xiang, he fully emphasized the importance and urgency of getting married. The words
are very clear. If you fail to make a relationship, the country will face an unprecedented crisis and the country will be more likely to perish. They only had three days, but in only three days, the soldier and the princess had already become a pair. After experiencing emotional setbacks, Hua Mulan and Li Xiang finally reached a consensus that "love is supreme".
General Hua Mulan and Li Xiang have different attitudes towards the "princess and marriage" matter. Hua Mulan believes that princesses should have their own freedom of love and marriage, and even encourages princesses to pursue free marriage. General Li Xiang advocated to complete peace and save the country. Their contradiction has been carefully hidden until it exploded under Musu's repeated provocations.
The solution of internal conflicts relies on the impact of external conflicts. Faced with the robbery of a group of bandits, this "8-man" and pro-squad can't stand up to it and feel embarrassed. The rope on the suspension bridge could not support the weight of the two people. In order to save Hua Mulan, General Li Xiang voluntarily fell into the rushing river water. The frustrated Hua Mulan decided not only to complete the emperor's great trust, but also to fulfill the marriage freedom of the three princesses. She decided to marry the prince of the bone and complete the marriage.
At the time of the wedding of Mulan and Prince Qigu, Li Xiang rushed over. At this time, he had completely forgotten "marriage matters" and fully believed in the motto of "love first". "Broken the jar and fell", the pride of death to die together moved me. It’s just that I can’t accept such General Li Xiang, because the ancients’ "loyalty to the emperor and patriotic" thought is really right and wrong.Often important.
Conclusion:
I have no intention of belittling the status of a soldier, nor do I want to portray the princess as noble and noble, but facing the serious issue of "marriage", I feel that I still can't handle it too romantically and ideally. I also advocate the freedom of marriage, but women in ancient China, even princesses, are often involuntary. Sometimes they have to go to the battlefield, and sometimes they have to sacrifice "love" to achieve national justice. The story of "Mulan 2" can talk about "filial piety" or "loyalty", but if it is used to advocate the freedom of marriage, it is really far-fetched, let alone the freedom of marriage between the three soldiers and the three princesses.
Disney’s first "Mulan" was still very successful, scoring 300 million US dollars in the global box office, but "Mulan 2" has the shell of Chinese culture, but the output is American liberalism. Forgive me. accept. The live-action version of "Mulan" starring by the fairy sister Liu Yifei of
, the trailer alone has caused quite a stir. But when will China have a decent "Mulan" movie? After all, Hua Mulan is our own heroine of the Chinese nation.
