On September 4th, the much-anticipated movie " Mulan" was finally released amidst the endless calls. Since last year, every publicity of "Mulan" has attracted countless attention. From the filming to the interviews, including the casting of the actors, the film is full of a strong sense of anticipation, and there are many praises from the official and fans. Countless. Among them, this movie makes Chinese fans look forward to it. The most special reason is of course: this is the only movie in Disney animation that represents Chinese characteristics and classical culture.
However, after the movie was released, as of the evening of September 5, this movie only scored 5.9 points on Douban. What's the reason, is it still the acting skill of the fairy sister? Fans who have watched the interview know that the director agreed with the acting skills of Sister Shenxian at that time!
So, let's analyze and analyze together, what lowered the score of "Mulan".
1. The cultural heritage is not enough
The theme of "Mulan" is a heroic story with traditional Chinese characteristics, so it must involve many oriental elements, but the movie does not restore Chinese culture well, and does not convey Chinese characteristics well. Elements, decal yellow stills, even made Chinese netizens self-doubt.
On the other hand, the details of the plot lack some Chinese elements, which makes the setting relatively vain and does not bring the audience an experience of oriental beauty. Like Liu Yifei’s hometown layout, it is not only inconsistent with the original appearance of history, but more like a Western architecture. I have to say that it is really uncomfortable for a Chinese to see. The first sentence of
at the beginning of the second paragraph of the traditional literature "Mulan Ci" is "Buy horses in the East Market, saddles in the West Market, bridles in the South City, and long whips in the North City." Even if you are in the army, you have to buy your own armaments. This shows that the dynasty that Hua Mulan was in at that time was probably a government soldier system. The movie and "Mulan" didn't even understand China's military system at that time. To put it plainly, this is the East in the Western imagination, and it does not really touch the deep foundation of Chinese culture, so the plot always stays on the surface, and the whole framework of Beijing appears very thin and unconvincing.
2. The big scene turns into a flowery fist and embroidered legs
Why people are so keen on Hollywood movies, including water plots, but Hollywood movies are definitely big productions and generous, even if the plot is not enough, there are special effects to come together, so often People are also attracted by this big scene and buy it for it. However, the whole "Mulan" lacks basic scenes. The fighting scenes of the big scenes are like jokes, which are slightly inferior to the filming of "Sparta" many years ago, not to mention the fact that it was made in China many years ago. The "Mulan" filmed by myself is gone, and Zhao Wei's version also contains many big dramas and scenes, which are still out of date.
Liu Yifei's version of "Mulan", I am afraid that the only scene that can be called a big scene is a battle between the Rouran cavalry and the army of Liu Yifei. But in this scene, the Hollywood shooting is still cutting corners. There is no more scene display, just a few normalized details. These partial details try to construct the entire battlefield situation, which really shows the crude production of this movie.
3. Sister Shenxian's acting skills
Many people on the Internet question her acting skills, and even think that her acting skills are really average. Because a lot of her performances are that expression fluctuations do not need to be too large. With her looks and a gentle voice, her performance and line skills belong to that kind of performance. It’s one thing. The feelings are expressed, but they don’t seem to be special. strong. Therefore, she felt that there was a big limitation, and in the follow-up she gave up on TV series and became a little unaccustomed to the embrace of the movie.
In this movie, Liu Yifei is almost indifferent, probably to better fit the needs of the role, the identity of a soldier, because it is also an expression to the end. And a person of flesh and blood, even a general, may be a plump character, so there is no appearance of performance level, many audiences will inevitably cry out disappointed.
Fourth, plot BUG
What is the most important movie? The editor thinks that it is telling a story, which is the connotation that must be expressed in the plot of the movie. If there is no story in the movie, then the audience will go.What to see in the cinema!
Is it just watching handsome men and beautiful women? Then I can only say that Hollywood is too perfunctory to the audience this time, and the audience will never tolerate such perfunctory things.
"Mulan" was supposed to be a story of a female surrogate father setting out to defend the country. However, the ending of the TV series has become the core of love for lovers and their families. This violates the fundamental value of this drama and will bring a family and country. The ideal was abandoned, and the love of children was chosen. This is a serious problem in the setting. In the middle of the film, it is necessary to tell the truth, ask for truth, and seek truth to make Mulan suddenly bursting into combat power, etc. It is really a bit idealized. Don’t you know that the ancient Chinese civil and military strategy is far from this, talent, strategy, bravery, These are the cores that support this role!
waited so long, it’s impossible to say not to be disappointed, I can only say that this is not the "Mulan" that Chinese fans want to see, this is not the Mulan who served in the army on behalf of his father, this is not my approval Hua Mulan.
