wasn't it Ariana Grande who got that tattoo? I think it was lol. or, wait, was I NOT supposed to say that lol?
but yeah, i heard about this as well lol. so um.......its always best to consult a Chinese person if you want a tattoo with Chinese characters lol.
Well........Little Brother was a dog. And I specifically said YOUNGER sister, not LITTLE sister so......think of that as you will lol. Why are you waiting til the weekend lol?
Ama: DID YOU WATCH IT YET!?
But well the words used on the sword DID mean what they were supposed to mean. But still......if this was supposed to be culturally accurate, they shoulda done it in a more culturally poetic way, like in some kind of half couplet or something. Iunno, my verrrry Chinese parents raged about it lol.

I'm waiting for the weekend because mom has dr appointments all this week and they've been exhausting me.. I've been missing out on certain battles in SINoALICE because I've been falling asleep.. x-x
o3o ah right... Younger Sister/Little Sister always meant the same thing to me.
They shoulda made it a cat! xD But I'm guessing it's an actual person this time around.
I think that was her name. I'm bad with names... good with interesting facts tho xD

I was beautiful.
I recognized sooo many people too OAO
Spoiler
Li Gong was the "Witch" (I call her Falcon)
Jet Li was the emperor!! JET LI!!
The dude that played Khan was Mowgli from the 1994 Live Adaption of The Jungle Book!
Mulan's father was in Hell on Wheels oxo
I heard the original Mulan's Voice Actor! OAO
I LOVED the gender bending that went on >:3
(I cannot spell his name) was totally questioning his sexuality! I SAW HIM FALLING FOR MULAN AND BE QUESTIONING HIMSELF! He was relieved to find out he was actually a she >w> fufufu
The Emperor's clothes were a mix of different asian cultures.. o3o
Did Ninja/Shinobi originate from China? I've only seen/heard about them in Japan's history so I need some Chinese history lessons on this part here.. oxo
The match making make up looked weird... oxo sorry but it did...
The sword was pretty.. and I agree with you that the writing should have been in sentences of some kind that read out what was needed.
When put together like they did, what does it read as? I'm curious.. oxo
Jibberish?
Something insulting?
Something funny?
Something Idiotic?
They kept the chaotic chicken... changed it a bit, but it was still a chaotic chicken <3
Missed little brother.
Crikee was in the movie! AS A HUMAN! His name was Cricket!! OwO HE WAS THERE!!!!
Yao, Ling, Pao... they were there just not as... promanant? Yao wasn't as awesome as he was in the animated version. Mulan's boyfriend stole all the spot light >w>
I really liked the chemistry there was between Mulan and the Commanding officer. It's like she gained a second father. >w< I was all "AWWW DADDY MOMENTS!" hehe... "Come home and marry one of my daughters" "owo..... yeaaaa........"
And I cried when Falcon died QAQ She just wanted a place in the world too!!! I swear though, Li Gong makes for a really good female antagonist. She was Hatsumomo (I think that was the name) in Memoirs of a Geisha.
And the emperor.. I saw his face and was all "I KNOW THAT FACE AHHHHH"
And bloody hell did I keep seeing Khan as a near nekki hawt guy every time I saw him.. x-x I didn't see a grungy bad guy... i saw Mowgli... uuughhh... he still has those eyes!
REFLECTION HAS A CHINESE VERSION! >:O I needs the OST NAO! I love hearing my favorite songs in different languages!
Like December Lovesong by GACKT! It's got Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean (prolly others but those are the languages I have)
BoA sometimes does her songs in Japanese, Korean and English
ONE OK ROCK did a Japanese edition and a International edition of their AMBITIONS album (why the Japanese edition got to have Avril Lavigne in "Listen" where the international version didn't I don't know)
Avril's "GIRLFRIEND" song has a Japanese version >w> was fun watching japanese guys go "hey hey you you i don't like your girlfriend, no way no way i think you need a new one, hey hey you you i want to be your girlfriend!" haha
And this song called "All this Time" by Trish (something something... sorry bad with names) some Japanese guy did a Japanese cover calling it "Ichiban"
Anyway...... I want the bluray of this movie NAO >:o
I put my feels in a spoiler because people may not have seen it.
I love that it was different from the animated version. While I do adore the Lion King remake and how it followed the original, I do like it when adaptions also become something new too.
My internet went out while I was watching Mulan. I came on to type out my feels for it and it was all "YOU HAS NO NETS GO WAY!" x-x so from Noon to 9PM.. I had no internets and I am now heading to bed QnQ
Like it wasn't just mine, it was a internet/phone/cable provider blackout! OAO my neighbors had no internet or phone.. x-x
I ended up watching "The Green Mile" and "Cats" waiting for it to kick back on...

one person that i recommended the movie link to didn't recognize whom the emperor was. xD i told her and she was like "WTF REALLY!?" my parents had the same reaction when i told them lol.
Spoiler
yes, the original Mulan voice actor made a cameo at the end when she introduced Mulan to the emperor.
Yeah the emperor was wearing a mix of cultures which was weird, someone i know who watched it mentioned it as well. the make up for the matchmaking scene was weird too. it looked like geisha make up, although i'm sure somewhere in chinese history, they might've had similar makeup practices....
Oh, it does actually say "Loyal Brave True" but if this was truly culturally Chinese, you wouldn't just smush three words together like that, ancient chinese people would probably do it with a lot more finesse, poetry (possibly in a half couplet meaning "loyal, brave and true")
my mom liked Cricket lol, he was the "cute fatty" lol.
the witch was kinda sad. like just because she could use chi, she was discriminated for it and called a witch. all she wanted was a place to belong. and then she dies. it was very tragic.
i'm not surprised Reflection has a chinese version. after all, Mulan is a chinese folk tale lol. i also heard the korean version and its lovely. i also liked the new song by Christina Aguilera but my mom was iffy about it lol.
aww your poor internet lol. well i hope you finished it in the end. xP

I go to mom:
Me: OMFG YOU KNOW WHO THAT IS!?
Mom: who?
Me: JET LI!
Mom: dunno him
Me: >:x -gets red dragon dvd out- THIS!! KUNG FU STAR JET LI! -starts complaining how her dvd didn't have original chinese audio with subs cause eng dubs on Live movies give her headache cause the lips don't match up-
Mom: -shrugs- ok...
Spoiler
I've never seen geisha make up have yellows and oranges.. White face, red lips, eye shadow, and a little bit of red/pink on the cheeks and that's it. the whole part on the forehead was weird.. like they ignored 'geisha' make up ways and wanted her to look like a phoenix, because that was their guardian deity.
yea but, when put together (like 七輪 is charcoal grill, not seven rings) does it say anything? oAo
THERES A KOREAN VERSION?! OAO
I had torrented it so it was downloaded. The loss of internet didn't affect it.
