Mulan-Disney Is Not About Knight In Shining Armours

I had recently watched Mulan, the extremely old Disney film, set in ancient China. I think it was one of the best Disney movies I’ve ever seen.

            The movie showed the olden ways where one man from each family had to volunteer to fight in the war. Mulan was the daughter of an injured veteran and did not fit into the society’s version of a woman. She desperately wanted to do her father proud but after being rejected by the society, she decided to take his place in the war. She posed as a man and went to the training camps. The movie beautifully depicted how she trained and worked hard to be as strong as the men. This movie portrayed all of Disney’s usual humour, animal sidekicks, love, but most of all it portrayed a strong female lead. The movie opens the eyes of the chauvinistic men and shows how a woman is not inferior. It fills you with a lot of motivation to achieve your goals and fight for your respect in the world. The movie makes you understand that a woman is an independent individual and doesn’t need a man to protect or provide for her.

              This movie definitely brings out your inner feminist and I highly recommend watching it. Its for children and adults alike and there is no scene in the movie where you would feel as if you’re watching a clique Disney movie. The movie will definitely fill you with determination and push you to persevere in life to achieve what you want and stand up for yourself and know that being a girl is doesn’t automatically mean that you’re weak.
