We also anticipate that there will be no nice Mushu or people singing while going to war. This is a true story, with a woman who becomes a legend thanks to her strength and talent in battle. However, the director wanted to pay her own tribute to the original animated film, respecting some detail that will make us smile. For example? There will be an epic moment in the film where an epic theme also resonates. And we will have a Witch on the "bad guys" side.
During his time in Madrid we have seen three scenes of the film that allow us to confirm in broad strokes that we are facing a realistic story, with many fighting scenes that could well be perfect choreographies, and a tone that moves away from Hollywood to get closer to the Great Chinese directors. We do not have the video yet in our power to be able to share it, but we already anticipate you, the work that Caro has achieved points to the top, even for those who do not see with good eyes to have left aside their childish pull.
The first scene shown is an intimate moment between Mulán and his father. As you will remember, the young woman decides to dress as a man so she can go fight instead of her father. In this scene we see Mulan's father taking his sword with a trembling pulse. Then he prepares to sharpen the tool while Mulán looks at him in shock. It is a dramatic moment, attentive to details and with a very deep conversation between father and daughter. She asks about the war, he tells her that in order to talk about her, she must have lived it. He confides that he must have courage and take care of his mother and sister (the new character that Caro has decided to introduce and that will serve as the antagonist as far as the personality of the protagonist is concerned). Then when he leaves, Mulan takes the sword making the decision that will mark the history of the film.
We jump to the second scene. We see Mulan already turned into a man, with her hair pulled back, in the middle of a training session within the Emperor's Chinese army. The battle is coming. She trains with another military. At first he wins; but suddenly, we can enjoy Mulán's mastery with the sword. He is, by the way, Chen Honghui. This is another of the new characters introduced, which will be played by Yoson An, and will become a friend (and something else) of the protagonist.
