Mulan is a movie that at least everyone who was born in the
90’s has seen. A tale about a girl who takes her father’s place in war and ends
up saving all of China, yes a classic Disney tale. A message the movie clearly wants to make is
about finding yourself. There is a song within the movie called Reflection
which shows Mulan finally comes to the realization that she can’t be herself
and also make her family proud. Mulan is stuck trying to please her parents
that she gets lost in their ideal image. And by her trying to be someone she’s
not she ends up creating a disaster that shatters her parents’ dreams for her.
Mulan tried to please her parents to the point that she lost who she was. As
soon as the song begins she sings, "I may never pass as a perfect bride or
a perfect daughter." Mulan believes that if she does not get married she
would bring her family shame and dishonor. Apart from the music video towards the end of the movie Mulan soon realized if she
really that she had the choice if she wanted to be married or not and her parents should have respected any
wishes that she had towards marriage. You should never try and change yourself
to benefit others.
