Quotes

Hua Mulan: I never imagined I would achieve any accomplishments, not to mention that one day I would become a butcher on the battlefield. In these twelve years, my heart has never felt at ease. Princess, only when we resolve the cause of this war can we stop the war itself. Your own fate as well as that of the whole world is in your hands.

One of the best films...
23 April 2011 | by (Turkey) – See all my reviews

I first saw the Disney Mulan and thought that it would be something like that. But I met something completely different in a very positive way. There was also no gi jane trying to show the world something, mulan was just a person who grew with the duty and just did what she had to do.

The film left out all the gender conflicts beside and truly presented us a pure touching story.

Hua Mulan being a great general and warrior is after 12 years again a woman of her time at the end. The end of the love story is also sad but otherwise it wouldn't be such a good film.

Hollywood would surely add a kiss at the end, it was much better that there were just the right words...
