In terms of overall results, "Mulan" has a good performance in the international arena.
"San Francisco Chronicle": An uplifting movie. Although it was not released as planned, it came at the best time.
Associated Press: "Mulan" may inspire some children to be interested in Asian movies. Fortunately, there is a gorgeous and inspiring war movie for everyone.
, especially Liu Yifei, has captured the hearts of many foreign fans and children.
and her "yellow mirror applique" forehead makeup, has been imitated by the whole world, setting off a wave of Mulan fever.
and many children have put on the armor of Mulan, learn to archery, and even do a traditional hand gift, Liu Yifei has also become a new generation of children's idols.
thought that after the epidemic, the launch of "Mulan" could save the sluggish domestic market.
, after all, has always been a harsh foreign word of mouth, which is also a reference for the audience.
However, what is surprising is that when the film returned to China, it encountered serious inaccuracy.
First look at this poster, full of characters, with the classic fonts in this word, really did not feel the film as an international blockbuster advanced.
and many netizens have complained:
"It's really a dream of 90, it's too ugly. The texture of
is not as big as the Internet. Is it sure that the Chinese always feel that there is a kind of 5z
z9, zzzzzzzzz9, zzzzzzzz9?" It was found that the TV series in the memory of
90 seemed to be all in this tune, and they did not violate the harmony at all.
But 20 years have passed, the aesthetics of "Mulan" is still here?
Some netizens copied and pasted the content on the poster-
, the large-scale costume drama "Mulan" to understand ↓
Are genuine DVDs not considered? The popular models that once became popular all over the country...
zoomed in, "Mulan Story of Rural Love" made its grand debut, and ordinary small movies do not have this treatment.
Before there was "Sister Riding the Wind and the Waves", and later there was "The Wind and Waves Mulan", keeping up with the trend of the times.
Although the spoof of netizens is very rude, but this poster is really cheap.
don't talkLiu Yifei's photos were dull and lifeless, even worse than her stunning appearance during the official announcement.
Even the other big-name actors on the poster are no better.
Even if it is the same Asian country, the posters in other places are not as "local" as China.
For example, in the Japanese poster, Liu Yifei’s sword reflects her appearance on the battlefield. The background of
is the snow mountain that made her famous in the first battle, and the incarnation of the witch who is crucial in the film.
Let's look at the Korean version again, which also divides Mulan into two. Different shapes represent her different identities.
The sword in her hand that represents "loyalty, courage, and truthfulness" is right at the center of her eyebrows, which means that whether she is a man or a woman, these are the qualities she will never give up.
, let alone compare with the red silhouette full of texture abroad.
, do you think the Chinese audience is so fooled?
You should know that in 2009 Zhao Wei's version of "Mulan", the poster is already quite creative.
Who would have thought that the 2020 version would not have an excellent domestic poster?
Of course, compared to crude posters, the plot is the fundamental reason why the audience rejects "Mulan".
Douban opened points 4.9, and has now dropped to 4.7. With the score of
6 million people, the film still has a certain distance from the passing line. It is a word-of-mouth crash.
The reason for all this is that the magic change is too bad.
The story of Mulan is too familiar to the Chinese.
has the "Mulan Ci" in the text before, and later this character has been transformed into various films, whether it is cartoons, series, movies, we have watched too much.
Therefore, she has a basic understanding of her growth process and military psychology.
and this adaptation of Disney, to be honest, abandon the most shining point of Mulan.
"Chip re-chip, Mulan is the household weaving". The phrase
is completely familiar to Chinese audiences.
Mulan was originally a lady of the world, but because the Khan had a lot of soldiers, his grandfather had no elder brother, and Mulan had no eldest brother, she chose to join the army for her father.
Her filial piety and bravery are the basis for her to be able to spread through the ages.
But what about Mulan in the movie? Ever since I was a child, I like to dance knives and guns. Even in front of matchmakers, I also made ugly appearances in public, which caused my parents to be taught —
, they failed to produce a good daughter.
By the way, take a look at the couplet in the picture above-
May all lovers in the world become family members, and all family members in the world are lovers.
It seems that foreigners really don’t understand the profoundness of Chinese couplets.
Secondly, the movie deletes the most joyous part of the moustache, and the eagle who cooperates with the villain becomes a witch.
Yes, you read that right, the highly anticipated Emperor Gong played a bird in the film. The movie
wanted to create a kind of witch was the precedent of Mulan.
They are women who are brave and good at fighting. One is blackened into a witch because they are not recognized, and the other becomes a warrior of the country.
For the witch, Hua Mulan has her own shadow, and she can't bear to see her being let down.
but learned that she was recognized by the army of the celestial dynasty, and was willing to give her life for her. Although
is very touched by her selfless dedication, as a witch, does she need to become a bird to resist an arrow?
The big devil who was so powerful in the early stage and ended up being so easy to take the dog is too childish.
In addition, one word is always emphasized in the film, , .
Hua Mulan has a kind of qi in her body, which she does not possess as a male.
Only when she confronts herself and fights with the identity of a female can she truly exert all her abilities.
What?
As a hero, what Hua Mulan admires most is that she is an ordinary person, but she is brave and brave in fighting and winning glory for the country. How did
get into the movie, all these need the help of "qi"? Or the "gas" that disappears once you wear men's clothing?
Sorry, Hua Mulan is an ordinary person with flesh and blood, not those with special functions in Hollywood blockbusters.
If you think this is a movie for children, it is even more wrong.
was rated as PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) (not suitable for children under 13 years old) because of the constant violent scenes, arranged marriages and vulgar language in the film.
is the last and most important thing. The film's depiction of Mulan's growth and mental changes is too scribble.
, whether she is determined to set off on behalf of her father, or face her own female identity, there is no excess.
In this important transitional period, only relying on a phoenix flying by her side to symbolize the rebirth of Nirvana is too low.
Moreover, in the original Hua Mulan story, she is the only one who is determined not to give up, and there is no trace of a phoenix.
We accept the adaptation, but please don't give her a fantasy color, because it is not worthy of ordinary hero Hua Mulan.
Of course, the film is not without its advantages.
For Disney, the grand fighting scene is no different from his killer.
flying over the wall, thrilling; loess flying, majestic. Every scene of
allows the audience to see that funding is burning.
For foreigners who do not understand Chinese culture, "Mulan" is so fresh.
not only has traces of ancient Chinese history, but also has the thrill of foreign blockbusters.
But for people who are familiar with history, such a Mulan will only make us feel nondescript. The
movie has very powerful action scenes, but it seems that there are only these.
I'm really sorry, Mulan is so thin,
