Mulan Ii 2005 Dvd

[Curtis Cassel]

Interestingjob in blogging about Mulan. But unlike you, I learned less about its original version that you did. Now that you pointed out the differences between those versions, I congratulate you for the most part.

Our mother introduced us to the Mulan story when we were kids (in the 60s). It was one of the stories (the poem, actually) from China she would read to us as we were growing up. Her telling was that Mulan was from a family of military background and so she learned to fight rather than to be a farmer (which was the only other option in rural China during that era).

There is one issue for which I must give credit to Disney; names. As is the case in most Asian cultures, names are spoken with family name then given name. The Disney Mulan remained faithful to that tradition. I must admit, it has always been one of my pet peeves when westerners speak Asian names (I know, why harp on the small stuff?).

I like Disney story better! I can relate with his mulan, not with weis mulan. The importance of a tale is grater than the accuracy with his origin. Tales are forever re writtten and re interpretated. The strongest and most meaningfull interpretation will prebailed because its helping to resolve and actual problem. Story telling as Disney well Knows, if not at least you know, is not an inocent activity. Its even more powerfull than any dogma that has try to be imposed.

I stubled upon your blog by accident and I wanted to thank you very much for the good read, I thoroughly enjoyed it! Not only is the topic very interesting, but also the effort you put into writing this post is clearly visible. Thanks! It was a pleasure.

Thanks for the comment and tip! I actually have this film and I agree, especially the end decision. It could have been really cheesy at some points but they kept it just right. The editing was a bit hap-hazard though!

thanks so much for this post! I am actually using this as a source for an essay I have to write for college i picked this movie because it is my favorite, and you have actually really helped me get some information

I just finished watching the 2009 version of Hua Mulan, to compare it to the Disney version. The 2009 subtitled version was excellent. I then looked up legend of Hua Mulan on Google and Wa La! I found this site. Loved your comparisons. I am a Mass Media and World History teacher at a high school (of all things will be starting a unit on China in January) and was looking for material for the class (literature, religion, legends etc). After watching the 2009 version I am thinking to recommend a comparison of these two films to our Film Studies teacher for her class. Your comparisons of the legend to the Disney film cinched it for me. I will also recommend your website to her for review. Thanks for all the work. It is also good to enjoy what you do!
