    Notice that the Chinese army made a huge deal that Mulan was a woman, but Shan Yu just referred to her as the “soldier in the mountains” and didn’t care about her gender. Women in the Huns had high statuses, even amongst their own army and had freedom of choice in many aspects.

      Genghis Khan was remarkably progressive for his time, too, coming from a similar background as Shan Yu. Abolishing the practice of bridenapping (literally a guy could come to a girl's home and steal her, take her back to his home, and declare her his wife, and it was binding and legal, if the girl's male relatives couldn't fight the dude off) was a HUGE deal, and under his rule, women were treated far closer to equal than they had been before. He also established the first organized postal system, repatriated architects, doctors, scholars and other skilled craft/tradesmen throughout his lands and compensated them, to promote higher skills and better learning, always fought to take libraries and universities intact, and redistribute the knowledge he'd captured for the betterment of his people, and always gave cities and towns the chance to surrender. Was he an over-s*xed barbarous brute? Yes, but not really any more so than other warlords and leaders of that era, and many after. But he did a lot of good, too.

    After "A Girl Worth Fighting For," there are no more songs in the whole movie, which is very unusual for a Disney Movie. The major tone shift happens because they HAD found a girl worth fighting for... the little girl who never got her doll.

    This movie is perfection. Mulan's relationship with her father is a good driver for the plot but then it's about more for her. She constantly shows that her cleverness is her main strength - gets her dog to do a chore, figures out how to retrieve the arrow, aims the explosive at the mountain and so on. In the remake, they destroy or take away all that, I think that's why I get so mad at the remake haha.

    I always thought those women picking rice were thinking Mulan was a really shy boy so they thought that's cute. Mulan just looked away from them because she's just not into girls like that. And the fact that when Mulan said,"How about a girl who has a brain and speaks her mind?" And the guys dismissed it.

    Not sure if someone said this already but I love how they sing "A Girl Worth Fighting For" and they are originally singing it to give them motivation in the form of finding a wife to marry after the war to motivate them to win and survive but then they see the burnt down village and the little doll and they realize the girl that's actually worth fighting for is the little girl who died and they really need to win this war for her and all the other little girls who could die if they don't 😭

    Growing up Mulan was my favorite princess because (at the time) she was like the only princess who’s “happy ever after” wasn’t reliant on a man coming to save her from her plight. Like she actually went out and did sht, and kid me loved that (and I still do).

    Funnily enough, one of the first times I saw this movie was when I was in a kind of 3-week Chinese language course in middle school. I had seen it when I was really young, but hadn't since then. What was cool was that my teacher had us watch the Chinese dubbed version with English subtitles as a way for us to hear what Chinese actually sounded like for an extended period of time, which then helped us relax some when it came to recognizing tonal differences and not rushing when we were trying to speak Chinese. Ever since then, I've had a relatively hard time listening to it in English because it just sounds better in Chinese, it's hard to put into words. Like Mulan calling her dog "Little Brother," which is 弟弟 (di di) in Mandarin Chinese and it rolls off the tongue a lot easier. Anyways, there are a couple things in the movie that I just kind of wish they put fully in Chinese (i.e. place names, titles, names, nicknames, etc.), but I get that it's a product of its time.

    here's actually a poem talking about the legend of Mulan.
    According to the poem, Mulan had one older sister and one younger brother. And her father didn't have a son who is old enough to fight in battle, that's why Mulan left the house to fight for her father.
    After she returned from the war, the emperor was going to give her a job and titles and rewards. But she turned down the offer to be the emperor's secretary. The emperor asked her what she wanted, and all she asked for is to return home.
    When she returned home, her parents go out to welcome her, her older sister is getting ready to meet her while her younger brother decided that it's time to kill some livestocks to celebrate.
    Mulan changed back to the clothes she wore at home and put on her makeup, when she went out of her room to meet the soldiers that had fought with her, they were surprised because they never knew she was a woman even though they fought together for 12 years.

    During the sequence when Mulan gets ready to take her father's armor and disguise herself as a man, you can see dragon imagery throughout the entire thing, to symbolize the great dragon that watches over the family.

      Adding to that, technically it was forbidden for common folk to use dragon/Phoenix emblems because it was the symbol of the royal family, emperor/empress respectively. To use that would be declaring yourself a royal, which was taboo.
      Although there might've been some exceptions for which both symbols were used; that's why it was such a powerful moment when the emperor gave Mulan that crest, like, _Medal of Honor_ & pass it down as an heirloom & family status elevated _powerful._

If you want to write fanfic about this more power to you but please stop presenting headcanons as irrefutable facts, Mulan is one of my favorite childhood movies, and I've seen this done with this movie for years, and it always bothers me since this is not what the movie was about, and you and others are basing these things on sentences taken out of context that can be interpreted in 100 different ways. I don't want to be hurtful but just because it's your headcanon doesn't make it fact, heck I wouldn't even trust what the directors said, because this simply wasn't in the movie. Once again sorry, I might seem sensitive on the subject but it comes from the place of passion and love for this movie, and I truly think that all those fan theories that, sprang out of the snow like daisies in recent years, take away from the wonderful and empowering story this movie presents to us, if those fan theories add to the story to you and you love them, great, more power to you, but just remember that there are fans like me who like it for what it is and don't need some extra content. Anyway, good luck with this fanfiction if you will ever get to writing it. Peace.

      @@aquamarina5216 Okay, you really need to put the brakes here, because you've already done this in another thread.
      1. This version of Mulan is not historically accurate. Some sections of the great wall, colored fireworks, and simplified Chinese weren't around when the legend of Mulan was written. This isn't the only movie to do this. In fact, a lot of movies and series aren't historically accurate. (Vikings for its timeline, Reign for its costuming, Apocalypto for its depiction of Mayan sacrifices are some examples).
      2. No one in this comment section is idolizing Shan Yu and calling him a "feminist icon" just because he recognized Mulan's military merit outside of her sex. He still killed men, women, and children. On the historical aspect, there have been historical records of Mongol women having some form of power (there are records of them having some roles in the military, but scholars contest on its authenticity, though they did have more say in raising their children, being part of the royal court and having some form of authority overall compared to women in China at that time) but again, this movie isn't fully historically accurate. The Mongols are not the main perspective of the story. Plus, I doubt they had that much time to squeeze in this complicated detail in an hour and a half movie where they are not the focus.
      3. It's *way* easier to simply ignore something on the internet rather than actively comment on it. I tried to ignore your comments, but you have responded to other people rudely and in a condescending manner just because their perspective does not align with yours, and there is nothing peaceful about that.
