So, I didn't expect to feel this strongly against Mulan 2020. I expected it to be soulless (which it is), like the new Lion King . I expected it butcher the story with virtue signaling (which it does), like the new Beauty and the Beast.

But I did not expect the film to goes absolutely counter to everything Mulan is stood for. The progressive message. The inclusive nature. The empowerment. Nothing! It has nothing!! All it has, is a harmful message.

Sorry for being negative. But allow me to justify my frustration in this... Jesus, 18 minutes!?

But to me, it is an insulting experience. I can forgive it for all the inaccuracies in depicting Chinese culture. But I cannot forgive this film for what it did to the character of Mulan: Turning her into a symbol of submission. ------------------------------------------ Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/AccentedCinema Follow us on Social Media! https://www.facebook.com/AccentedCinema/ https://twitter.com/AccentedCinema
