Breathtaking, Clever, Virtuous
Featuring one breathtaking scene after another, Mulan is a stunning remake of the animated version.
A well-written screenplay that left out the silliness and trivialness present in the first movie. The weighty subject of woman soldiers/warriors is dealt with intelligently, elegantly and powerfully.
The spectacular sets, richly- colored costumes and glowing scenery all add up to make this one of the best movies released during the pandemic.
The all-star cast was led by Liu Yifei, a relatively unknown actress, who was absolutely superb in the role of Mulan.
Includes a very clever and well-choreographed phoenix.
The only criticism would be a few weakly delivered lines sprinkled throughout the movie by several of the Imperial conscripts.
Unlike many Disney movies, this movie's ending is both meaningful and emotional.
