New Project-Media Makers: My movie Review on "Mulan"

Watching scenes from Mulan while looking for values was very different. You end up not only just watching a movie, but getting an idea of what the person who wrote it, might have been trying to say by throwing it out there. Some of the values I noticed that are shown in the movie are these: Having a border for protection, communication with their ancestors or being active with their religion. Also, helping with household chores, for woman to be graceful, or to be a specific way, to bring honor to their family, the food they eat and I think that man valued beauty over insight. I imagine that the person who created Mulan has definitely experienced some sort of all of these values. I think if they hadn't, they would not have been included them. Thinking upon the fact of weather Mulan reflects the "Real China" or not I think is a bit of a complicated question. After I read the article Kay gave us, I had a better idea. It seems that in some areas it does. But it mostly displays a picture of an American view of China. Which isn't necessarily bad in my perspective. After all, this is America. But the problem is that we get our ideas of certain places so often from things like Disney movies and such. I think if you want to learn about China's values, you should definitely look into many other resources. Not just Disney.
