Since MuLan is shown online in the U.S., you can watch advanced on-demand for 30 USD, so many netizens in China have already seen the English version of MULAN. But overall, Disney’s live-action version of Mulan has not been accepted by Chinese audiences.
MuLan has a large number of Chinese elements that are "modified by magic". It caters to the curiosity of Western countries through weird character shapes, and creates the "real" scenes of ancient China out of thin air. Even the movie posters are in the old-fashioned design style. Does the director really think that the aesthetics of Chinese audiences is still in the 1980s and 1990s?
, especially this photo of "When the window is in the clouds, the mirror is yellow," has been complained by the majority of netizens. Are ancient women all wearing powder thicker than the wall, dressed like a clown, this It is basically a prejudice in the bones of Western countries towards the image of the East.
is ridiculously Disney’s live-action version of Mulan, which costs US$260 million and is the most expensive of all live-action remakes. It costs hundreds of millions of dollars, and even the most basic background and culture of the times are not clear. Perhaps this is not what the director cares about at all. In the whole movie, only Donnie Yen is Chinese.
So compared to the Disney live-action MuLan, Mulan starring Zhao Wei Chen Kun is more suitable for Chinese audiences. The movie
is directed by Ma Chucheng and written by Zhang Ting. It was released in mainland China on November 27, 2009. It was because of this movie that Zhao Wei successfully won the Golden Deer Award and the Hundred Flower Award for Best Actress.
This movie focuses more on the development of drama and characters, putting war and action in the second place, which can be regarded as a large-scale war movie. It is more appropriate to the folk song "Mulan Poetry", and more realistically shows the themes of war and darkness, especially Zhao Wei's screaming on the battlefield, and the scene where he was splashed with blood when he was cutting an enemy. The first half of the
film may be too slow, and focus on sensationalism. It lacks the image of acting as a father in the army, but the emotional portrayal is more delicate and the characterization is also very exciting, combining Hua Mulan’s loyalty, filial piety, and love of children. Together, dig out the true inner world of Hua Mulan.
Although this movie is not the best one among all Mulan versions, and the storyline is not bright (because the audience knows the story of Mulan), it has a relatively high degree of restoration, compared to the Disney live-action version. Said it is more suitable for us to watch. Many netizens gave mixed reviews on this film, but in terms of the awards it can win, this film is still worth watching.
