Hua Mulan joining the army on the battlefield for his father can be said to be a household name, which is mainly attributed to the folk song "Mulan Ci" of the Northern Dynasties that has spread the story to this day. In people's minds, Hua Mulan has always been a fortitude, tenacious, gentle and filial, with great courage and a strong legendary image. We have already seen the animated film "Mulan" produced by Disney before, so this time the live-action film "Mulan" will surpass our previous understanding of Mulan and get good reviews, or it will be a lifetime of nothing. Or is it too packaged and the content can only be given one star? I will tell you whether the movie "Mulan" is worth watching.
First, let’s look at the cast. We are familiar with Liu Yifei, Donnie Yen, Gong Li, Jet Li, and Zheng Peipei. These are all actors we know very well. Although we are not familiar with the male protagonist An Yousen, he once played a thug in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2" and participated in movies such as "Megadon". He is proficient in martial arts and has a very good Kung Fu foundation. Foreign actor Yuan Wenzhong has participated in "Fast and Furious 4" and served as an action director. Many actors, including other actors, have a wealth of experience in film participation and a good foundation in martial arts. Everyone should know that there are many martial arts scenes in this movie, and it is still worth looking forward to. So it is very worth watching.
Next, we were worried about the heroine Liu Yifei. Because she has always been a spirited little fairy in our hearts, and the role of Hua Mulan is very different, so can she play this role well? We can find out through stills.
From this still we can find that the movie "Mulan" is not as we thought, the heroine has too many decorations from beginning to end, and actually thrown into the barracks, if we are not familiar with Liu Yifei , Can't recognize it, just think it's an ordinary soldier.
We can also find from the trailer that the feeling of that era is coming. The room was dim, yellow sand was rolling, and the face was facing the sky. It should be mud or mud. Wearing the clothes of an ordinary soldier is an ordinary soldier. Only when she wears that red dress can she bloom with her own elegance. You can also see the martial arts scenes are very exciting, including the horse riding scenes are very real.
Let's take another look at what a red-dressed Mulan looks like. Do you feel like a weak but courageous heroine in your heart.
and people who don't pay much attention to Liu Yifei actually don't even notice that she started experimenting with different styles of movies after the hit. We can see the double-faced characters Lingju/Diao Chan in "Tongque Terrace", Elsa in "Night Peacock", and Yingzi of "Fang Huo Fang Fei". And the most important thing is that Liu Yifei has a fairly good martial arts foundation, which is the most important point that we overlooked because of her aura.
Finally, when Liu Yifei participated in the audition for "Mulan", she set off from Beijing to Los Angeles. She tried five scenes without a break, and went through a brutal physical fitness test that lasted more than an hour. The director of the film "Mulan" also said something like this: "The reason why I think she is the most suitable candidate is not only because she is a smart, strong, and gentle person, but more importantly, she has never shouted tired. ." And Liu Yifei has always been an actor who is unwilling to make a vase, takes her role very seriously, and can endure hardships when filming. You can search for relevant information and you will find that the editor did not brag on this point.
Therefore, everyone should not look at a person because of their own inherent aesthetics, and deny her self and the role she has devoted herself to. Finally, the editor believes that "Mulan" is the most anticipated movie in 2020. Whether it is a strong cast or a historical scene, it is worth looking forward to. Hope that after the epidemic is over, we can meet him in the cinema soon!
