movie "Mulan of Wushuang" poster
movie "Mulan of Wushuang" tells the historical story of the confrontation between the Tuoba royal family and Rouran in the first year of the Northern Wei Dynasty Yanhe. In order to defend the country, "Mulan" resolutely dressed as a man Joining the army for her father opened her fateful life on the battlefield. To be honest, although this is a low-cost, small-produced movie, the visual experience it presents to me is completely comparable to those "big-handed" historical war films. What is even more rare is the storyline of "Wushuang Mulan" Compact, parallel editing without procrastination. Although it started with "seeking marriage", it was just a foreshadowing for the "end of the battle". Although the film did not inject "love elements", it was replaced by more and more precious "emotional elements". This is what I think, move and sigh the most after watching the movie.
Prince Tuoba Shuo
Moonlight shines in the yellow sand, the wine is slightly cool in the glass, the iron armor is cold in the glass, and the iron armor is not flawless. Gu Hongzhuang
shuts down from the military, no father and mother, the camp is a boudoir, and the beauty reflects the cold... The ending song "Wushuang" full of Wei and Jin style, I can't help but fall into contemplation. Why does this "Wushuang Hua Mulan" add an adjective "Wushuang" before "Mulan"? Does it mean that it is well-made, and no one has surpassed its "unique"? Or does it mean that the heroine "Mulan" is No. 1 in the world, and no woman can compare with her? Do not! No, I overturned all such speculations. I prefer to fully interpret this "unparalleled" concept from the following plot points.
In layman's terms, "unparalleled" refers to the combination of the two, you can only choose one, choose the best one, you can't have both. And this is exactly in line with the logic and structure of the plot development of the film, which progressively highlights the individual under the righteousness of loyalty, filial piety, family, and country that the film wants to express, and the various growth and transformations in the film. Wushuang" choice.
Mulan and Tuoba Shuo
saw the military post last night, the Khan is a big soldier, the military book has twelve volumes, and the volume has the name of the master.
Grandpa has no older children, and Mulan has no eldest brother. She is willing to be a pommel horse for the city, and from now on levying for the Lord...
Since ancient times, loyal and filial piety dilemma
When the Wei conscription army post came, Mulan was still "violently beaten." The street "puss" who bullied her brother, but when she heard that "rouran dogs invaded my territory, each township, soldiers return to camp, and loyal to the country" in the military post, she couldn't help turning her head in distress. An old father with cough and asthma beside him. At night, the younger brother lamented his weakness, otherwise he would be able to share his worries for his father and fight the enemy. When she heard the sound of sharpening knives in the yard mixed with coughing in her boudoir, she only hated herself. It is not a male body, and cannot go on behalf of the father.
Dawei and Rouran are at war
Yes, Mulan loves her family very much, and loves everyone in the family more, so she has learned all the martial arts from her father's "Class 18", she just wants to protect The family will not be bullied, and use the daughter's body and man's heart to keep the family stable. So, how could she bear the heart to let the old father, who is moving but panting, go to the battlefield and fight the barbarians desperately? But he was even more afraid that his father would be punished for disobeying military orders due to illness. So, when her family was asleep, she left a note and quietly embarked on the journey.
The country is in trouble, everyone is responsible! Although Mulan is a female stream, in order to protect her father and defend her homeland, she is willing to go to battle. It can be seen that she is a strange woman with great love and great filial piety. Who says that women are inferior to men? Mulan practiced her "filial piety for the father" by "doing loyalty to the country". After stepping into the barracks, Mulan discovered that the two fellow "puss" who were once ignorant and good at "stealing" have also joined the army for his father. Since then, the three people in the same camp have formed the initial friendship of comrades in arms. .
Mulan led the soldiers to return triumphantly
I tasted Dream Mingtang, the emperor asked for compensation,
did not seek fame and fortune, and returned to my hometown...
Shura field, the collision of benevolence and brutality
remember Mulan in the first scene of "playing the play" When he came out, he captured Rouran's general history with his agile and vigorous skills. When everyone returnedAfter the camp, Tian Aweng asked Mulan, why did he cut off the "spear head " (the metal tip in front of the ancient cold weapon spear) when he was fighting the Rouran people? Mulan just whispered. I came to serve in the army for my father, not to kill anyone. If I don't hurt anyone, no one hurts me. Is this really the case? It can be seen from
that Mulan is a kind-hearted woman's "woman's benevolence". Such an idea is very dangerous on the battlefield of both opposing parties. Then, in the mission of "night attack Shanyu ( started from the Huns' special name for the tribal leader ) big account, rescue the prince Shuo" slapped Mulan's original innocence. Her "retaining people under the gun" was exchanged for the bloody sacrifices of her companions. At that moment, she suddenly realized that the desperate struggle on the Asura field, if the heart is righteous, will be exchanged for the tragic price of a different place. Since then, Mulan has valiantly killed the enemy on the battlefield and repeatedly made military exploits, causing Rouran's army to be defeated steadily, and Shan Yu's throne is in jeopardy...
comrade-in-arms Li Liang
At this time, Mulan's original fellow villager is only "Li Liang". Every time the two are on the battlefield to take pictures of each other and save each other in moments of crisis, here I have to praise the director’s lens for his special capture, vividly portraying the silent friendship between the two of them. One look and one action are transformed into a tacit understanding. Thanks for the great kindness below. In the fierce battle between the iron horse and the sword without eyes, Li Liang can still take care of Mulan's safety. I think in addition to the "hometown" feelings, it is more out of the iron-blood tenderness of a clambering man to a woman. Although it is never mentioned in the film, it is not difficult to see that Li Liang had an admiration for Mulan.
Everyone appreciates Mulan dancing
West wind blows my clothes, cold moon blows my clothes,
woke up with a pommel horse, drunk lying on the battlefield...
The silent contest between justice and sinister under the glory halo
Any movie, the plot begins to climax And turning point must be inseparable from the villain. In "Wu Shuang Hua Mulan", a particularly "typical" negative character-Xiao Qingquan was created. This person is the same as Mulan and others in his debut as a recruit, but he has "high ambitions" and came to the barracks only for "additional rewards." Therefore, in the face of the Rouran army, he can run back when he can throw his legs away, and he will never confront him if he can hide. In the face of the hard work of his comrades, he will be the first to claim credit. In the face of the general’s confusion, he will immediately flatter him if he can overhear Suggestions...
Xiao Qingquan who feeds the fodder
Although this treacherous villain has always been ill-intentioned, trying to use his companions and fawning on his "supervisor" to realize his dream of "being an official", the reality has given him a head as a man. Soldier, you neither dare to gallop on the battlefield nor fight bravely, so why do you strive for the honor of the hero you deserve? Time is the "touchstone" for testing the authenticity of everything. If it is gold, it should shine brightly, and if it is coal, you should stay honestly. But Xiao Qingquan did not. Because of the unwillingness of all "losers", he was still eager to try and wait for opportunities.
At the moment when Mulan led the whole army to triumph, Xiao Qingquan, who was holding the horse fodder, could only watch their excitement coldly. When the army camp and the people set up a bonfire and sang and danced together, he could only drink alone. He stared at Mulan's uniform with sullen eyes and greedy eyes. He was frustrated and lost. Why didn't all this belong to him. Even when he accidentally learned that Mulan was originally a "daughter body", he still failed to get a chance to "turn over". In short, such insidious villains who "success and fail more than fail" will never end well. The ending.
Xiao Qingquan who is sitting on the sidelines
wants to use the three-foot sword in his hand for a mirror decal yellow,
wants to brighten his body with silver armor, and changes to marry Lang Jun...
The love of children under the national crisis will eventually become a hero Blood
is the only scene in the whole film where I can capture the prince "Tuo Ba Shuo" suspected of showing love to Mulan. This is also the most brilliant point of the director of "Wu Shuang Mulan". He got rid of the previous "Mulan" 》Those cliché plots deliberately infused with "love" in the film, as everyone knows, it is this obscure beauty that seems to be absent and looming is the time for the audience to think about it.Wait.
When Mulan was slightly drunk after drinking two glasses, everyone was stunned at the moment she stood dancing on the tower, including me. How could such a soldier who can be hard, soft, sweet and salty? Not impressive? What's more, she was originally a Pingting woman, so when Mulan "speaks the truth" after drinking, Tuoba Shuo sent a message for a second, but the next second he believed the "drinking talk" and "drinking talk" tape Give him intuition, and began to calmly show selfishness in favor of Mulan. The camera "brought through" the prince's "love" to Mulan in a single stroke, and there was not even a word of extra confession or dialogue about love. Such "cleanness" is really unsatisfactory and at a loss.
Tuoba Shuo said goodbye to Mulan
Because Xiao Qingquan was singled out by the captives, he led Rouran's dead servant into the city, causing life to be overwhelmed. Tuoba Shuo had to choose to "abandon the city", but Mulan and a few companions wanted the people to escape safely. Persist in staying behind to defend the city, waiting for reinforcements in the test of hunger, cold and despair.
Actually, Tuoba Shuo hoped that Mulan would leave with him, but Mulan said frankly: I was not in the army for the country, but for the safety of my father. Now I am not guarding the territory of Tuoba, but the safety of the people of Wei! A few words reveal Mulan’s ideological growth and transformation after joining the army, from the initial narrow "small family" concept to the broad mind of "worrying the country and the people" at this time, and it also reveals to us "Where does the country come from?" The profound reality of "Xiaojia". And all of this comes from the mouth of a woman, so why does Tuoba Shuo, who is a prince, feel so emotional? As a result, his "will" for Mulan finally sublimated into the "sentiment" of admiration, and he promised Mulan: Wait for me to come back! Although
was a bit late, Tuoba Shuo did not break his promise. He rode a tall horse to rescue Mulan from a crisis. Just in response to the "master"'s magical calculation: when the sun and the moon are in the same glory, they will have their own magical soldiers to help them overcome the calamity.
Tuoba Shuo led the army and civilians to abandon the city and evacuate
Ending
For a long time, Mulan’s rhetoric still lingers in the ears: If soldiers fear war, how safe are the people? He An in the world... just as the general said, he was an ordinary citizen, and he wanted to live too. I think this is exactly the realistic meaning of the movie "Wushuang Mulan". That sentence can't be more vivid in our current real life. Recalling the moment when the "new crown" epidemic was raging, countless medical staff left them behind. The young and old in the family, wives and children are on the front line of fighting the virus. You must know that when they take off their white coats, they are also ordinary people, but at that moment, the country needs them, and the patients need them even more. They bear the safety and security of the people on their shoulders. This is an inescapable responsibility to put personal life and death aside. This noble spirit can be extended to all the "soldiers" who sacrificed for the country and the people because of their "burden". Moving forward", in exchange for our current "time quiet and good".
Finally, Mulan blew herself up as her daughter
. So, I think the true meaning of "Wushuang" in the movie "Wu Shuang Hua Mulan" is to tell us that life is a process of constantly being forced to choose and give up. Once we choose , Only to go on without hesitation and move towards the right goal. Rather than saying that "Wu Shuang Hua Mulan" is the history of a woman's war of resistance against Japan, it is more appropriate to think that it is a "spiritual evolutionary history". It is the choice one after another that makes the ultimate determination and determination. And the heroic "Wu Shuang Hua Mulan".
