No need to be wary of spoilers for this 2AM Takeout Movie Night Review because this movie is a hard skip for us.
Live action Mulan was meant to be a key step for Asian-American representation because of its all Asian cast, but has lately been overshadowed by #BoycottMulan and the politics behind the film like lead actress Liu Yifei’ support for police brutality in the Hong Kong protests or Disney kissing CCP (Chinese Communist Party) ‘s ass to film in the Uyghur Muslim Xinjiang territory.
In this episode, 2AM Takeout dissects how Mulan’s all-white crew and director have truly whitewashed this critical feminist story in Chinese culture. We dive right in and point out specific cultural inaccuracies like the appropriation of Qi, the use of Phoenix iconography, and the cringy made-up proverbs.
