Mulan review - Disney finally adjusts the strings

Over the past years, the successes of " Disney " varied at the level of live version films that revive its precious legacy of animated films that found their way to audiences of all ages, including those who were good and striking, despite their small number, restructure the original story in a new way, and some of them were disappointed. For hopes and a large number, it was just a collector of funds, despite that it lacks the known artistic value of the work borrowed from it and is tainted by problems that do not need expert eyes to monitor.

Technical weakness appeared in films such as "The Lion King", "Aladdin", "Dumbo" and "Pete Dragon", where it is flawed not to achieve the equation of combining the essence and the style of execution, as well as between loyalty to the origin and innovation and trying to reach a different element that renews the blood of the experience with something. It has not been presented before, as with the advancement of cinema and the high rates of innovation among filmmakers these days, it may facilitate tampering (and tampering here with a benevolent purpose) in content and adding more dimensions to it, which guarantees a different experience that offers loyalty to what is known and reinforces the reason for the continued presentation of that type of films To include new materials that are narrated for the first time in cinemas.

Mulan 2020 review
Here, the live version of the movie Mulan 2020 tries to break the knot of recent films and introduce a different spirit to several elements of the original work that we loved since childhood by rotating it in something new that draws out the general idea of ​​the story and maintains it, but it differs in the style of narration, the directing structure, the design of the scenes and other details that The makers are betting on the film, which has been subjected to several postponements due to the global health crisis. The result was largely good, not better than the animated version, but it succeeded in creating something special, inspired by the popular legend "Ballad Of Mulan".

Mulan 2020 movie story
The events of the movie Mulan 2020 as it is known about “Hua Mulan” is the daughter of “Hua Zu”, a retired warrior in ancient China who rescues her father from participating in a war against a group of invaders who launched a fierce attack on the country after the emperor ordered the recruitment of one man from each family to join me The Army, "Mulan" disguises himself as a young soldier and joins the soldiers participating in the war, as her situation changes from just an ordinary girl to an immortal legend who wields the necessary strength in order to confront the enemy, confront its danger and save China from a threat that threatens her.

The first sign of the difference lies in the general atmosphere. Those who watched the animated film knew perfectly well the atmosphere of comedy and fun that prevailed, especially with the presence of the dragon “Mosho”, but in the live version, director Nikki Caro relied on a purely dramatic rhythm interspersed with a snapshot or two of comedy Not vulgar, the decision to stay away from comedy is nothing wrong with it at all, rather it is the best decision in light of the quality of the story that the script presents, there is a dramatic coherence and a good escalation in events relatively close to the events of the original film. I did not seem to be affected by the absence of fun at all, although some will point to me. This is one of the shortcomings of the Mulan 2020 movie, and that is of course understandable due to the great love that everyone has for the original work and the breezes of fun that are characterized by it.

On the other hand, this corresponds to the story’s distancing from excessive fantasy and conforming more closely to reality, or in another sense simulating Chinese life in the ancient era with its traditions and difficult periods in times of distress and wars through direct reflections on the character and the transformations that occur to it when events escalate, we are witnessing a completely different version. For the character of Mulan, who is armed at times with lightness and frankness at other times, the last element extends its impact from the beginning of the Mulan 2020 movie to the end and is a justification resulting from many factors known to those who know the original story and are very clear within the context of the story.

Even on the dynamic level, the movie Mulan 2020 is burdened with many fighting scenes and major fighting erupting on the rhythms of graphic music of a stylized character, each one of them on my own enjoys a special weight regarding the multiplicity of sequences and the intense diet between the two parties stemming from the ingenuity of designing these scenes and taking into account the timing of the supposed events in them. Providing a certain type of action and combat skills, which does not suggest the influence of CGI techniques on them in a large way and is close to the real image of war and its conflict.

Perhaps his only flaw is one of the transformations of one of the characters (the details will not go into detail to avoid burning, but the foregoing strengthens the uniqueness of the film from its predecessor and that Disney has already fulfilled the necessary in terms of choosing from competent to present a different film in many details sticking only to a previously known idea woven into Only the thread that spans the events to be recounted.

The easiest thing to say about "Liu Yifai" is that she is the best fit for the character, but must be commended seriously for the physical and physical exodus of the character, according to the vision of the scriptwriters, an ideal improvisation of the nature of "Mulan" before and after moving to the ranks of the Chinese army, her interaction very harmoniously with her father, who The star "Tazi Ma" played the role in several shots, high combat skill and outstanding performance for action scenes without the need for a replacement doppler at times.

But the depiction of the character's sensory state remains the hallmark of the success of "Yi Fei" set within many scenes from the movie Mulan 2020 and until it reaches the final turn of the story. It is difficult to pass the acting performance without elaboration as a result of what Yi Fei presented, which is added to the balance The film is one of the successes to be commended.

In conclusion, the review of the movie Mulan 2020, "Disney" has succeeded in modifying the strings even in the difficult circumstances that "Hollywood" is going through by losing a whole year without many cinematic releases, and provides a good experience that illuminates the appropriate way for them to choose the appropriate works that can be presented as live copies as well as the necessary tools.
