I am here again and this time I want to talk about a story we have seen in class during these weeks, "Mulan". I am sure that most of you have seen the Disney film about this story but I want to show you more interesting thing about this amazing story.

Later, while they were in am expedition, they met the Huns and they have to figth against them but the Huns are too much higher in number so Mulan decide to throw a rocket to the montain and the snow fall over the Huns. Li, the captain has been hurt and Mulan also but they get to survive but Mulan is very injured so they need help.
While she is in bed, Li discovers that she is a girl and not a boy as she said. Li, very hungry said that he doesn´t want to see her again.
Mulan, stays in the mountains very sad and suddenly she discovers that the Huns have survived and she decides to go to the festival where they partners are to warn them. When she arrives there, Li doesn´t believe her but suddenly, the falcon of the leader of the Huns appears and take Li´s sword and catch the emperor.
Finally, Mulan with the help of Li and her partners fight against the Huns in the palace and they achieve to bit them thanks to the great ideas of Mulan. After that Mulan decides to go back home.

And what about the critics of the film? Most of them was really good, people thoguht that this film was great, the animations were fascinating and the argue was really good. The feminist sector said that this film eliminated the sexist topics but they also said that they didn´t really like the end of the movie because, after showing the power of the woman they return into a fantasy world because Mulan goes back home.

Disney didn´t like so much the idea that a dragon goes with Mulan because they are too big, but she decided to create Mushu because they discovered that Chinese dragons could hace different sizes. As a curiosity, in the Spanish version, this character was dubed by José Mota.
At the end of the class, Raquel ask us to answer two questions and I would like to share with you my answers. The first one was:
What would have happened if Mulan was a boy? I think that if Mulas is a boy there were no problems but the story wouldn't has the same meaning. Instead of his father, the emperor Would have called him to fight and it would be another action film like others.
The second one was:
What do you think about the end? In my opinion the end is very good, Mulan get her goals, safe her father and then she goes back home with him. In adittion, I think that she could stay with the army defending the country because she has shown that she is able to do it and perhaps the society would have change and women could go to the army with men.
To end up with this post, I want to say that, personally, Mulan is one of my favorite disney movies because it changes completely the role of the Disney princess and the argue is very interesting and I enjoy a lot watching this movie.
I hope you like this post ;)
