The cartoon disney "Mulan" came out on the screens back in 1998, but then the story of a brave girl who pretended to save his patient a man and went to war, found a response in the hearts not all. Chinese spectators considered the ribbon in many ways offensive, and more than 20 years later, the studio decided to correct their mistakes, and at the same time turn the cartoon in the full-length picture.
Journalists of the leading editions have already managed to watch the new version of Mulan, and the first thing they paid attention to, there was an explicit positioning of the plot as a product for China. Disney In this regard, it is easy to understand who will not want to enlist the support of the most large-scale film market of our time. So now the satellite Mulan will not be a dragon Mushch, but Phoenix, the magic "Qi" will be celebrated for the magic element, and the main antagonist of the tape will be an evil witch. Representative Variety Peter Debrugg even noticed that a new version of the film could well create a person who did not like the original.
Reporter IndieWire Kate Erbland also emphasized the differences between the remake and the original and noticed that the new film "Mulan" looks like "an outstanding epic action that goes on its path." However, even in many respects the tape is focused on the Chinese viewer, the director also did not forget about the reference to Western culture. The film condemns sexism and excessive traditionalism and illuminates the female emancipation, much more focusing on this than the original.
"The remake moves towards the conversation about the rights of transsexuals," said Debrugg.
However, despite the overall positive assessment, there were also critics that were caught Mulan in too weak disclosure of complex topics and characters. Must dummy, much more attention the creators paid battle scenes, which, although impressive their scale, is distracted by the importance of the path of the main character.
The representative of The Hollywood Reporter Inca Kang even said that Mulan, of course, looks great with his "professionally curly hair", but it would be much better, "if under these hair we saw at least some kind of person."
It seems that those who love large-scale spectacles, full of faunions and fights, "Mulan" will definitely have to taste, but it should be borne in mind that in general the cinema turned out to be entertainment, and therefore should not be expected from the premiere of something phenomenal. In Russian cinemas, the tape starts on September 10.
