MY REFLECTION MULAN MOVIE

The CGI and other effects were pretty good. The actors may also hear the line a thousand times in a humorous scene and quickly get bored with the script. With the overly-dramatic humorous characters interacting with the main characters that are maybe more serious, the serious actors cannot laugh.

In a way, not having a slapstick character helped make the story line more believable because those types of characters can make story lines fall flat. There weren’t any characters that were strictly funny, but there were still jokes in it. It felt believable that they were who they said they were.

It’s not enjoyable because you aren’t looking out for anything new and exciting.Īs far as the acting, I felt that the actors did a good job showing the characters as real people and not just as if they were plain fictional characters. When movies are just remade and copied completely they can get dry and wooden and the jokes fall through the cracks. The story did have differences for sure from the original, but I liked the artistic liberties they took because it made the live action of it flow much smoother and didn’t feel like they were just trying to copy the original word for word.

MY REFLECTION MULAN MOVIE

It still had a heartwarming feeling with nods to the movie we had all grown so fond of through our childhoods. The tale told was much more like the legends that you hear of the actual stories about the events that the story was based on. However, I was pleasantly surprised to discover a wonderful adaptation from animation to live action. I really liked the old animated version and wasn’t interested in all the changes that were going to be made that would differentiate it from the original. This was a lovely article! It was just as much fun reading as it was probably was writing for you.When going into the new “Mulan” I wasn’t very excited. I think those songs are more refreshing and admirable.Īlthough I love Mulan, I wish Reflection showed more of what Mulan wishes she could accomplish without being so whiny about what she didn't. Tiana feels passionately about her restaurant and is singing about when she got it and how she will build on it more, Pocahontas is singing about her adventures and goes down the path or excitement like she wants, and Elsa is singing about finally getting her first taste of freedom instead of her procrastination with going after it, and you can see the passion and thirst for knowledge about Elsa's capabilities within her. These girls are taking action and doing what they love and hope for instead of just saying, 'When will my dream come true? I guess I'll go for it.tomorrow, or the day after, whichever.' Like I feel Reflection and Part of your world exhibit. I think these are more the reasons Disney princess songs like Almost there, Just around the River Bend, and Let it go are some of my favorites. I don't like hearing either of these girls whining, let alone in a song that tries making the audience feel sorry for them. Just like Reflection, Part of your world is whiny, self-pitying, and Ariel acts like everybody else is wrong and at fault except for herself. These reasons are also why I dislike Part of your world. I love Lea Salonga's voice, but it was showcased in a whiny and bitter song. The extended version is even more whiny and it drags on for no reason. Acting like NOBODY sees who she is and that everybody else is in the wrong about her and she's in the right. Leftthetrain Very nice analysis! Reflection is actually one of the only things I dislike about Mulan, personally. Well, that about wraps things up! Thanks so much for reading! Adios! I'll bet that you either a) are going to listen to the extended song right now or b) already have, haha.

:) You may want to check out my link song analysis of 'If You Can Dream' from a while back. Mostly just emphasis on her desire to be herself no detectable bitternessĪnd there you have it! I hope you enjoyed reading this, as I had a ton of fun writing it. Bitter about these aforementioned wishes Emphasis on wanting personal freedom from society's wishes

So, let's quickly compare and contrast the two. She's sick and tired of pretending to be someone she's not. Here, though, Mulan seems bitter about the fact that society has set these expectations on her. However, in the movie version, she seems mostly disappointed that her efforts to fit in don't work, and she hopes that she'll be able to make her family proud someday. What makes the extended version and movie version similar is the fact that Mulan obviously wants to be herself. This excerpt makes my point much more clear.
