God the main thing I remember thinking about new Mulan isn't even any of the weird cultural stuff It's just... not a good movie It's so BORING

Mulan isn't really even acting, she's posing for photos It feels like the whole movie only has action for the purpose of moving us into specific gorgeous still frames you can screenshot as your desktop wallpaper

Like whatever about the accuracy I've watched so many episodes of goofy costume dramas on low budget Chinese TV that were absurdly ahistorical with cardboard sets and Party City costumes that were WAY more entertaining

Just let the actors act And if you can't, then let them OVERact Cripes for a movie in this genre going too small is absolutely fatal compared to going too big

I don't even care about the other stuff The most insulting thing to Chinese people about this movie is it portrays Chinese people as unable to act

It's the whole thing about making Asians into robotic emotionless drones - this ugly stereotype they somehow tumbled headfirst into while trying to be respectful Nobody in this movie has *feelings*, they just have honor
