"Mulan" (2020)


I'm pretty sure Mulan's village is Belle's village from Beauty and the Beast, just redressed.
I am bummed that Mushu won't make an appearance in the movie, but it may be for the best. Honestly, the original film was really the Mushu Movie because he's all everyone really remembers from the movie, with the exception of "Be a Man".
With that in mind, did they substitute Mushu with a witch? I don't recall anything magic in the original film. Do we really need magic in a film that already contains martial arts?
We see Mulan's father collapse on the ground when he tried to accept the call to arms. That should have indicated that he is unfit for combat. Would they have exempted him for his injury but commended him for his honor and heart? Or would they be assholes and put him on the front lines, be the first to die? If they were indeed willing to exempt Mulan's father from combat, then there wouldn't be a reason for Mulan to go. She would be going because she was bored.
The story that this is based on says that she died in a harem. Will they follow the story more closely than the animated film? Will it be a musical? I have so many questions.
In theaters: March 27, 2020

Taking a Break!

Since theaters are closed and movie premieres are being pushed back because of the Coronavirus, I will be taking a break reviewing upcoming movies. When the pandemic subsides, I will return to looking at new movies. In the meantime, stay safe, avoid contact as much as you can, and stay home if you're unwell. We will get through this together.
