I'd rather there were some elements of feet binding practice. Mulan had her feet unbound, then wished them to be bound again near the ancestors' pond after the war ends. So her feet are bound again. That would be an interesting and close to the actual legend.

I didn't like the trailer so I'm not going to watch it. Looks grey and dusty.

... that seems highly unrealistic to me, though? Foot binding was a practice that tended to render one's feet all but unusable. Not only would that be difficult (and slightly gruesome) to film, but there's not much chance Mulan would've been able to recover from years and years of basically crippled feet and then become a skilled fighter. She would've been barely able to walk without help.

I thought the legend took place way before foot binding became common practice in China, but I guess the version you're talking about could've been written later on.

yeah, it's one of the versions.

The Ballad of Mulan predates foot binding by about 500 years

(Anonymous) 2020-09-22 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Wasn't foot binding invented several centuries after the legend?

I'm really glad I didn't pay for the movie. I watched it because a friend was kind enough to pass me their login information and we watched it together and neither of us could believe how badly Disney fucked up. The cartoon version wasn't authentic, but it wasn't promising to be, and at least the cartoon version had heart and told an entertaining story. I don't know what the hell Disney was trying to do with the live action version, but the only thing it seemed to succeed in doing was piss off a lot of people.

For a weird, brief moment, I thought the flower on the top of the comb (??) at the bottom of the image was a demogorgon.

It's the gift that keeps on giving

Also the animated 1998 movie and Mulan 2009 movie where much better.

On my end, I'm just glad Disney is paying dearly for it all. Their hypocrisy regarding social justice, their xenophobia, their wish to appease the chinese government, the actress that sided with the Hong Kong Police. The thrash fire is far more entertaining than the actual movie.

Don't forget their thanks in the credits to what is basically the Chinese propaganda division of the region with all the Uygur internment camps because Disney just had to film there of all places.

Oh, OOF.
