Compare And Contrast Mulan
Everyone knows the story of Mulan either by disney or by live action movies. However does anybody know the differences between the two? I can give both of the movies detail tales with almost pin-point, however, this essay would get too long. So instead you’re going to get the quick run down in 3 or 4 paragraphs. The first paragraph will be the disney Mulan while the second will be Hua Mulan (2009).

The disney Mulan has a very nice art style and coloring. The plot and theme connect really well to form a great piece. Fa Mulan the main character in Mulan is out-going, obnoxious, but really wants to be the honor for her family. So when her father, Fa Zhou, an old person with gray/black hair and a short black beard, was to be sent to the army Mulan took the initiative to take his place. She cut her long, black silky hair just short enough to still be able to put it in a top-knot. The only thing she left her father as was

They kind of start out the same with Mulan going to war in her father’s place, however, Mulan has a friend with her who is human, Fei Tiger. He helps her out by introducing her to people and getting her in the far corner of the tent that the new recruits share. When Mulan meet Wentai (the person she loves later on) she refused to talk to hima and only talked to her horse, Black Wind.

    One of the noticeable symbolisms in the movie would be found in the main characters of the film: Aslan, the Witch and the children. Aslan was portrayed as the original king of Narnia and when Narnia was held deep in the clutches of the White Witch, Narnias looked to Aslan as their redeemer. Aslan was also the one who died so that Edmund may live. He was the only one who was capable of defeating the White Witch. Aslan in the film was an artistic representation of Jesus Christ. The parallelism found in the resurrection of Christ, his absorbing of our sins and overcoming death is seen in the depiction…

For example in the book and the movie the old man still has treasures. He also still has what was described as a “vulture eye”. So the book and the movie were not completely…

    The first scene is set at night time at the Great Wall of China and gives out a feeling of sinister and danger. The only characters which appear are Shan Yu, his eagle, the Huns that attack the great wall, as well as the Chinese guard who tries to escape and give signal. The music and sound effects also helps creating this more creepy and dangerous scene; the second scene moves to the Emperors palace cleverly and gives out a very grand and royal feeling. The transition is also very ingenious as lots of realistic camera angles have also been used to show out such feelings and the characters’ characteristics. The third scene moves to Mulan’s house which is a total different feeling and event happening, it introduces what a girl Mulan is, which doesn’t fit into the Chinese community, the sound effects also suggests the personality of Mulan.…
