    “One.”
    Most cold blooded villain line in a Disney movie ever.

    Something I love is that Shan Yu said “the solider from the mountain” not something like you’re a women? Because the huns had female worriers fighting alongside the men so to him it wasn’t a shock to see a woman fighting

      Well, even today, i have played video games with female gamers, some have beaten cause they were better at the game, but they seem to think its a humiliation to be beaten by a girl......what i said, silenced her and laughed at by other players in voice chat, i said 'are you implying that girls are worse than boys at video games?' and she said no, but then i said, 'then why would i be embarrassed to be beaten by a girl?' the others laughed and agreed and she just left.....it just shows, the most bigoted people are the ones that complain about bigotry so verbally loud.

      @@lithari1480 look,it was said in Friends season 3 ep 9 all the way back in late 90s by Monica, we all grew up on it. Boys and men
      also keep using this phrase constantly to humiIiate each other. Boys tell other boys ha ha, you got beat up by a girl. Ted Mosby's son literally mocks his father
      for it in How I Met Your Mother, season 1. it's all around, in every real life group and every fictional TV show for decades. a "gamer girl" is clearly just repeating what her family,school and society is teaching her. she's using "you lost to a girl" as a phrase bcs she
      hears it everywhere she goes. Boys do it to. like all the time.

    The fact that Mulan was told to go home but she refused, I think at that point it was more than trying to keep her family’s name respected, it was her trying to prove herself that she’s worth it

    The singing voice of Mulan is Lea Salonga, a Disney legend from the Philippines, who also provided the singing voice for princess Jasmine! She’s the genius behind the song “A Whole New World” ❤️

    I love this movie so much! It's been one of my favorite movies since I was little. There are a couple historical inaccuracies though. One of the biggest being that the people we call the Huns in modern times never actually attacked China. The people that would have most likely attacked would have been the Mongolians or other Nomadic peoples who lived close to the Chinese borders. Another big inaccuracy is that Mulan was discovered early on and quit the army after that one war. In the original poem of Mulan she is in the army for over a decade and rose to the rank of general without ever being discovered.

    I like your reaction good job. Your observations were on point, and compared to others, well, even though you probably don’t know much about Chinese history or culture, your comments were respectful and not frivolous, understanding that it is not your culture and only judge by non Chinese standards. Others seem to comment and thing ancient China should be like modern times culture. Thank you.
    FYI, the legend of Mulan is kinda legendary, there wasn’t a historical Mulan although there are a few Chinese woman who gained fame in war that most likely inspired the legend. Kinda like Robin Hood.

    I heard that at least some people from the Chinese audience were unhappy with the hair cutting scene, because, apparently, the soldiers used to keep their hair long, and cutting it was a sacrilege, not what in some Western places people tend to think: a new beginning, a new self. The producers did not take that VERY important fact into account. Disney makes movies of several different places and cultures on Earth, but always from a Western point of view, so is it really inclussive? By the way, I am sure that many people complained about the Live Action movie, that it didn't have some of the most epic moments of the 1998 movie, like the hair cutting scene, and many other complaints. The elimination of that scene for me is a point for the Live Action.
    Now, taking into account that for me Mulan also has a Western POV, let's move on to the next point. I noticed that, when Mulan dresses as a male soldier to save her father and China, the audience doesn't complain about it (as they shouldn't). But, when the boys dress as concubines to save China is usually taken as a joke by the audience. They all dress up as concubines safe Shang. I know he is general and that his face is very well known, but the the boys put some fancy dresses and make up on, and they change their voice, and it works. In my opinion, the producers didn't want to "put at risk" the "macho-man" figure of general Li Shang, who by the way, is the love interest of our protagonist. So, of course, she ends up with the "real man". So, does Mulan really change our perspective on gender roles?
    Don't get me wrong, I feel an emotional attachment to this movie. I certainly do NOT want to ruin this movie to anyone, but if what I say has some kind of truth to it, I think we should question to what extent is this and many other movies really inclussive and revolutionary.

      @@idk-ye7ur the only criticism I had for the LAR Mulan was that they should’ve incorporated some of the songs as background music and that the Phoenix should’ve been a dragon to subtly represent Mushu. However I understood the Phoenix representation with Mulan’s Journey.
