My son and I watched a couple of older movies recently. The first was Mulan. Mulan is a Disney movie set in medieval China. I'd never seen it before, and was quite surprised. I liked it. I liked Mulan, who goes to war in place of her aged father, disquising herself as a man and then encountering reasonable difficulties. I liked the way she was clearly a woman, having realistic enough problems fitting into a strictly man's army and overcoming them in a clever enough way. I enjoyed the humor of the situation, and of the movie; the rough humor of the songs the soldiers sing and things they do, the obvious humor of the captain training his troops (including Mulan) and declaring in a song, "I'll make a man out of you", and I liked the bath scene, which was well targeted at adults while not much raising the notice of a young child. I liked the basic training section quite a lot. I liked the setting. I don't know anything about China, and don't imagine this was in any way accurate, but it was appealing enough. I often don't like movies (or books) the first time. I liked this one just fine.
