We see Mulan sad here, feeling like she is letting her family down with lyrics like, “I will never pass as the perfect bride, or a perfect daughter.” The audience sees that even Mulan is struggling with the fact that she knows she is not fitting in with her society’s standards or norms.
MY REFLECTION MULAN LYRICS MOVIE
The second song that is in the movie is “Reflection”.But we can also look at this and see that it is setting up the story and what Mulan will soon defy. This song has lyrics like, “Bring honor in one way”, “The men by bearing arms, a girl by bearing sons.” The lyrics here are obviously not helping the idea that women are equal to men when it’s stating that the woman’s job is to bear sons and be in the home. This is when Mulan is getting ready to be presented to the Match Maker to help Mulan become a bride. The first song that is sung by the characters is “Honor to Us All”.The lyrics of these songs really hold the direction of the story, so I think to some degree the audience should pay attention to what the songs are saying. Some of the songs throughout the film.Some rhetorical tools that I noticed the creators used that didn’t go along with what the overall message of the movies are: She even made a man lose his job because she is such an incredible warrior and person. Lastly, the whole recognition that Mulan receives in the end from the emperor shows that she, a woman, did do something incredible for that time. She yells out to him, “Why wont you believe me? You said you trust Ping, why is Mulan any different?” Second, when Mulan tries to tell Shang that the Huns are close and the city is in danger, he doesn’t believe her because she is Mulan, a girl. This helps the viewer be able to relate to the character better. We see that she is slightly clumsy, and is late to things. I also like the rest of this scene because we see that Mulan is not a perfect girl.
I love how the creators of the text put these two pieces together just because it’s obviously foreshadowing what will happen in the end of the movie. The first noticeable rhetorical tool that I found in the beginning of the film was when the emperor said, “One man may be the difference from victory and defeat”, and then it fades to Mulan in her bed hastily eating rice and preparing for her day.
There wasn’t as many BIG rhetorical tools that I found in Mulan that coincided or helped the actual storyline of the film. They would just be watching the film and realizing the certain commentary that we media scholars or feminists could find offensive. They wouldn’t be seeing the film through a media scholars eyes or a feminist. To avoid this particular finding that the creators in fact didn’t put a lot of emphasis on the message we all loved dearly growing up, like MeredithAncret said, is to remember that this movie was targeted to a specific audience that wouldn’t be analyzing each scene or song. Because of this, the movie seems to be ironic in a few places throughout the film.
