While Chris was here, one of his Christmas/birthday presents was the new movie Mulan. I told Chris that I had been really wanting to see this new version so we watched it. It has Yifei Liu, Donnie Yen, Jet Li, Jason Scott Lee, Pei-Pei Cheng, Jun Yu, and Ron Yuan in it.
Big Warning: there is violence.
Since most people have seen the animated version, here's a quick summary. Mulan decided to substitute herself instead of her injured father when there is an order for soldiers. She dresses as a man and goes into the battle. Unlike the animated movie, a phoenix follows her to watch over her in this movie. After saving the emperor, she is asked to be part of the army, but she refuses.
I loved this movie. Chris didn't like it. He kept saying that she wasn't a real person. But I think some folklore can be based on real people. For example our legend of King Arthur and Robin Hood. Here's an article about the origin of Mulan:
The original ballad has a long history of transformation and adaption

Oh, apparently this is a remake of the original. I didn't know they had done one actually.

We watched a few months back ans we thought it was pretty good in general. The kids hadn’t watched it all the way though yet.
