As someone who hasn’t seen either of the versions, but just seen what people wrote about it. The live-action Mulan succeeds in her endeavours because she is the chosen one with magical powers, while in the original she did so through hard work and being clever.
Cause it was, at least in my opinion and that of many others who saw the original as kids, nowhere near as good as the original, but because it’s China, the criticisms of the movie had to be connected to bullshit anti-China politics.
Regardless of liberalism people here thought Disney bowed to China to get the movie to show there because part of it was filmed in Xinjiang and it was right during the genocide allegations. So you can imagine how that went lol. Also they started imagining that China was making demands to Disney about stuff that could be or couldn’t be in the movie.
And in China they disliked the movie because it was completely ahistorical and slightly disrespectful from what I understand. You can also imagine how that went over American minds.
What exactly was the deal with this Mulan movie exactly? I haven’t seen it but I vaguely remember liberal media freaking out over it when it released.
China bad, therefore a movie which won’t smash the mindless liberal horde with blatantly obvious sinophobia every second is bad too.
Not saying there is no sinophobia there, it’s disney after all, but apparently it was not at the levels acceptable to libs.
