“Mulan” is a American fantasy action drama film produced by Walt Disney Pictures about a girl living
under a patriarchal regime, cleverly impersonates a man and goes off to train with fellow recruits where
she uses her smarts to help ward off a Hun invasion, falling in love with a dashing captain along the way.

Mulan’s hometown, a small village in Xiamen and the imperial city of Xiangyang in ancient China where

Second, the character of Mulan is a courageous and selfless woman who is always thinking about
others over herself, which is clear from the start when she takes her father's place in the army,
literally putting her life on the line for him. Finally, the theme of how important to defy gender
expectations to achieve the extraordinary is very relevant up to this day. Despite some elements of
of the movie which may be offensive, the movie Mulan is still worth watching.
