Responsibility & Love
I decided to do a little Mulan watch part this past weekend where I put on all Mulan movies I could find from China. This one, Mulan : Rise of a Warrior was the first one I found and I was not disappointed.
If you want to watch a Mulan movie that is exactly what you expect from the title, this is the Mulan for you. Out of all the Mulan's I watched, I think this was my favorite. It was a story about a young woman, only daughter, and family of her father who is ill and decides to take his place as the representative on their military family. Mulan is already this kickass fighter who was trained by her father, as well as a wonderful caretaker and giver to her father and the community. All around, she is a 10 / 10. She is found out right away by a young man who grew up with her in her village, and they become best friends and confidants. One of my favorite things about this movie was how they build the relationships between Mulan and these different men.
But with all the good and cute relationship building, we do see a struggle within Mulan. Mulan is a good soldier and general but at the same time with all the struggle and misfortune and death, she starts to doubt herself and the role she plays in the military. It takes a horrific event for her to finally realize what her role is and this begins the Rise of Mulan becoming a Warrior and a great one at that.
I was also pumped to watch this one because, in one of the tags, it read romance. I wanted some Disney General Shang up in this movie! But if you are looking for a movie that is happy and uplifting, maybe this isn't for you? As I said before, the relationship-building between Mulan and the men in the military was one of my favorite things, including the relationship between her and Wen Tai, but there was also a huge representation of responsibility. Of what it means to be a soldier and citizen, fighting for China. I am not going to lie, I yelled at the tv screen a couple of times, I even signed with relief, but the one thing I did the most, was ugly cry. And that tells me that this movie, even for being made in 2009, was a great film. I highly reccomend it, but for myself, I need a little bit of time before thinking about rewatching it again.
