The history of Mulan, from a 6th-century ballad to the live-action Disney movie
“There have been many tales of the great warrior Mulan,” says Mulan’s father in voice over as Disney’s live-action take on Mulan opens. “But ancestors, this one is mine.”
It’s true, there are a lot of Mulans out there. The story of Mulan, a young Chinese woman who disguises herself as a man and joins the army to save her father’s life, has been told over and over again for the past 1,500 years at least. It’s both beloved and iconic, and Mulan, who is as virtuous as she is strong and brave, is an essential heroine. And every time we retell her story, we have to make certain that she is still virtuous — whatever virtue means for the time and place where we’re telling it.

Mulan: Rise of a Warrior
Mulan: Rise of a krigare is a Chinese spelfilm which probably inspired some elements of the Disney live action film. It is one hour fifty-four minutes long, and there are subtitles so while I preferred the kinesisk 2009 take on the heroine over the Disney version, inom did not love it so much that inom would want this spelfilm to be your first foray into Chinese or foreign films. If you are interested in seeing it, the full bio is available on YouTube complete with subtitles, and when it starts with a vit guy singing, don’t worry, you funnen the right film.
