Reflections after watching "Mulan"
When I was a child, I had a special feeling for Mulan's poem. Sigh..." Sometimes I will recite these verses casually. I respect Hua Mulan, she is a loyal, filial, and righteous woman.
Mulan Ci, Mulan on the Mosque, and Peacock Flying Southeast. These are three poems in the Han Yuefu praising women. The most widely circulated and familiar to Chinese people is Mulan Ci. It has been adapted into novels, plays, and movies and has been used by governments of all generations to educate people on patriotism. I have been familiar with "The Song of Mulan" since I was a child, and I have also watched the Henan opera "Mulan" many times. However, this time, through the movie "Mulan", I can understand "why Hua Mulan was born as a girl and lived for twelve years on the battlefield." Years, what do you rely on?" doubts. For twelve years, every night, "I didn't hear my mother-in-law calling for a girl, but I heard the chirping of horseback riding horses in Yanshan Mountain"; during these twelve years, as a woman, how could I endure the dark night when "the fresh air spreads to the golden watch, and the cold... "Illuminated Iron Clothes" bursts of sadness? In twelve years, how can we persevere until "a general dies in a hundred battles and a strong man returns in ten years"?
Only after watching "Mulan" can I truly understand what "heroic love, tears of mountains and rivers" means. Such chaotic and chaotic times, such tragic battlefields, such unrelenting love.
In the movie, Mulan disguises herself as a man and joins the army on behalf of her father, leading the soldiers to defend their homeland to the death; the deep friendship and brotherhood between Mulan and Xiaohu, as well as the soldiers; the relationship between Mulan and Wen Tai The undying love between sons and daughters is particularly valuable and tender on the life-and-death battlefield. Love has become the hope of people during the war.
Mulan said: In the past twelve years, because of you, I have the courage to open my eyes every morning, and it will be like this every day in the future!
I shed tears for this sentence because I understand that for Mulan, love is hope and the reason for living. This is true on the battlefield, and even more true in life.
When the two armies were running out of ammunition and food, Wen Tai walked out calmly and revealed his identity as Tuoba Hong, the seventh prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty. He used himself as a hostage in exchange for the lives of Hua Mulan and his brothers. .
I shed tears for such "giving up". Because I understand that for Wen Tai, Mulan is hope and the reason for love. But when the war stops, love has to give way to reality. The soul-stirring love has no choice but to condense into boundless love.
Wen Tai said: If we love each other greatly, please forget each other!
Mulan said: If you really love, how can you forget?
Yes, true love, how can we forget it? It's easy to give up life, but it's so difficult to forget.
The video may be a fabricated story, but I would rather believe that these are all real events.
At the end of the film, the narration was touching: Some people say that if you are too far away from home, you will forget your hometown; if you kill too many people, you will forget yourself. Died on the battlefield, life falls like rain to the earth, leaving no trace. If you fall in love with someone at that time, hope will bloom again from the soil and embrace life passionately...
In the new version of the movie, the story still takes place in the desert, and the film does not exaggerate too much. Mulan's ordinary life before joining the army, but a lot of space is used to describe the heroine's heroic appearance on the battlefield and a bitter love story that happened between Mulan and Wen Tai (Prince Tuoba Hong). The emotional aspect of the movie is delicately portrayed. Mulan in military uniform is a soldier who protects her family and country. After taking off her military uniform, she is a woman who knows how to sacrifice for love and understands righteousness. The lonely smoke in the desert and the flying sand and rocks on the battlefield add a touch of helplessness and desolation to this legendary story. The performances of the two actors Zhao Wei and Chen Kun in the film are remarkable. Zhao Wei, who is the most important part of the film, has also successfully completed the task of transforming Mulan from an ancient poem to a picture. However, the shining point of the character Wen Tai played by Chen Kun should not be underestimated. Whether it is emotional scenes or fighting scenes, Chen Kun has demonstrated the best "level" in history. Perhaps due to the tacit understanding between him and Zhao Wei, and his grasp of emotional dramas, Chen Kun can handle them easily without any stage fright. This may be the inherent potential of an excellent actor.
Among the plots that moved the audience in the entire film, the one that impressed me the most was the elegy that Mulan sang when she was about to lead the remaining troops trapped in the canyon to fight the enemy to the death, "A hundred years of life are like a dream." Fantasy. There is life and death. What regrets does a strong man have in protecting our country? What joy is there in life, and what regrets are there in death? The wind in the north, the smoke in the south, I miss my home, the road is blocked by the mountains. "Long and far." The sound surrounding the theater created the effect of the soldiers surrounding the audience and chanting. This must be the most tragic and affecting scene in similar works in recent years. If "Mulan" were all based on this Produced in style, it will be an amazing work.
In this story of Mulan, there is love, but more importantly, it is responsibility, growth, and fulfillment. In fact, whether a man or a woman, growing up on the battlefield is a very cruel thing, and in this cruel experience, how lucky you are to meet someone who sacrifices himself to fulfill your growth. I was moved by Wen Tai's three successes for Mulan.
For the first time, in the name of death, Hua Mulan was allowed to walk away from the love between son and daughter and become a tiger general on the battlefield. Regarding Wen Tai's fake death, at first glance, the method seems too bizarre and extreme, but if you think about it carefully, from Mulan's bright eyes when she rode alone at the critical moment, to her "this is an order" when facing Mulan's hesitation to kill someone. Roaring loudly, from the gentle and earnest solicitation by the river to the decisive and cold "there can be no love on the battlefield", compared to the tenderness of women, this man's eyes are too sharp and penetrating. Before Hua Mulan understood herself, He had seen her future.
The second time, the price of life was used to exchange for the survival of the dying Mulan and the soldiers.
What I like most about Wen Tai here is the desperate cry of "Mulan" after the wild sand. The man who had been hiding in the dark for many years finally revealed his feelings. When they finally met, they were speechless and choked. The calmness and gentleness of cutting one's wrists for a blood transfusion, the clinging to each other in the trapped canyon, the decisiveness and calmness of walking towards the enemy's position, forcing each other to death, without hesitation, tit for tat, showing no weakness, and leaving the opponent speechless with just a few words. This is a man with a strong heart. Under his haggard and thin appearance, the surging heroism and heroic spirit are heart-stirring.
The third time is the end of love. I often think that Wen Tai is "willing to die for the country but not willing to sacrifice love." However, in the court hall, raising his eyes and lowering his head, he was speechless and endured; there was no lingering sadness in the separation of Penghao and a gentle hug. Farewell in silence. The word "family and country" is a heavy topic. The smoke in the desert and the setting sun on the long river can make thousands of families shed tears after one general succeeds.
I don’t know whether to be sad or happy about this ending, but only endless regret. "The new energy spreads to the golden watch, the cold light shines on the iron clothes, the general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned after ten years." Just twenty words, how much real history is hidden. If Zhao Wei's version of Mulan is heroic and makes me feel real, then Chen Kun's version of Wen Tai moved me even more. Because of great love, it is selfless, and because of its remoteness, it is magnificent.
Who says women are inferior to men? The film "Mulan" once again tells everyone the truth about women being inferior to men. Women can still lead thousands of troops, or they can sacrifice their own happiness for the benefit of the country, choose "big love" and give up "little love"!
Because of love, we can persevere; because of love, the vicissitudes of life can last forever; and because of love, although we have regrets, we still feel that the world is so beautiful.
