Disney has done it again! Actually, this is a first! I'm
not
Asian, but I really love this film! It brings tears to my eyes.
I think Mulan is the best Disney film since Beauty and the
Beast. Mulan isn't about sleeping princesses in enchanted
castles and endless and pointed plots, it has something much
greater. It has family love, self sacrifice, and most importantly,
a seemingly and worthwhile plot line. I think it's worth seeing.
here is a short review of Mulan:
Five Stars *****
Mulan is the story of a girl who doesn't fit in. At her
meeting with the Matchmaker, Mulan spills hot tea all over
her, and to top
that off, Mulan catches the Matchmaker's butt on fire!
When her ailing father
is called to war, it could only mean one thing, certain
death. Mulan's
irrepressible spirit compels her to do the unimaginable-
she would fight in Fa
Zhou's place. That night, she sheared her hair, thrust
on her father's armor,
and stole away into the night. When her parents found out,
it was too late,
Mulan was already on her journey. Getting blamed for a
fight that MUSHU
started, Mulan becomes everyone's enemy. Then, she claims
to be Fa
Zhou's son, Ping. Failing at everything in training, Mulan
is left with choice,
go home humiliated, or trust her spirit to give her the
strength to climb a tall
pole and retrieve an arrow. After fulfilling the task,
she gains the respect of her
fellow soldiers. At Tong Ho Pass, she causes an avalanche,
and has to save
her comrades. in the act, she is wounded. When her secret
is discovered by
the others, she is abandoned, far away from home. Then
a horrifying fact
comes to Mulan's attention- Shan Yu and a few members of
his "army" had
surpassed the deadly avalanche! However, when she tries
to warn
Shang, he won't listen to her. Only Mulan knows this terrifying
truth, and
only she can save China from the sinister clutches of Shan
Yu. When face to
face with the ruthless Hun leader, Mulan must search deep,
down inside of
herself to find the courage and strength to defeat Shan
Yu, save her country,
and become a legend.
