真人版《花木兰》中英文影评



在最早看到木兰的预告的时候，我还是有一丝期待的，当年的动画版贡献了众多笑点和泪点，到目前都能回忆起众多经典情节以及优秀的BGM；



然而美国的新冠还远未结束 ，也不敢头铁去影院，只能看看网上的一些消息，但是看到国内平台上的奇低分数，我也开始怀疑，是不是除了恶意差评之外，电影本身也存在缺陷，去找了个Youtube上粉丝数182万的影评youtuber——Chris Stuckmann的Mulan影评（我是第一次看这个youtuber的视频）他给出的评价是C-；






事先声明，我没有看电影，对电影和演员不发表任何个人看法。



视频的音频版本如下，语速比较快，但是用词不算难，发音清晰（美音），可以试着听一听；当然，省去了画面就意味着少了视觉信息，会加大理解难度，因此听不太完整也没关系；







提炼要点如下：

1.  故事情节仍然和动画版本一样，是替父从军的故事

Just like the original animation, this tells the story of a young woman who takes the place of her father at war. he is older and he is injured that he will most likely die if he goes to war. So she pretends to be a man. Suits up and goes off to battle



2. 角色差异包括木须，花家列祖列宗灵魂和蛐蛐角色的消失，著名歌曲Reflection也被放在了结尾的致谢而不是电影中

unlike the original animation this film doesn’t have the spirits of Mulan’s ancestors nor does it have a dragon named Mushu voiced by Eddie murphy or a little cricket.

Christina Aguilera's rendition of 'Reflection' appears during the end credits.  its not in the movie, there’s no songs at all.


3. 电影比动画全方位地差

But this movie is inferior to that film in virtually every way.



忽略细节

One of the biggest problems with this film is that it seems to omit certain things that are integral to the story, or at least to the characters and their journey through the story. And it relies on our knowledge of the 1998 animation to fill in those gap.



举例：下定决心代替父亲的那段能够让人感受到这个决定的重量

It’s when Mulan decides to go off to war in the middle of the night she takes that sword she cuts her hair, she puts on that armor; this incredible music by Jerry Gold Smith is playing; it is very epic and you understand just how important this choice is for this character, that this choice is going to define their life and it’s going to potentially end their life or bring dishonor to the whole family.







电影里直接盔甲上身，剑指镜头，感受不到角色的蜕变

You really feel the weight of that moment in the animation whereas in this film it honestly cuts directly into a scene where she is already got the armor, we don’t even get to see her puts it on. She takes her sword out and points it into the lens. And she just rides off into the night. You never feel the dramatic impact of this choice that she is making, just how much that is going to mean to her life to her family’s life. The change, the evolution of this character, you don’t feel any of it; it is just thrown away.



4. 战斗场面over edited

that high frame rate（高帧率） makes the action look very frenetic in a bad way. Horses are moving really fast. People are running very fast. And it just doesn’t look real; it doesn’t evoke the time period. it looks too fancy. It doesn’t look like it has the grace

失真感也存在于战斗中不流血，演员都说英文，真人版想营造的现实性没有了



5. 木兰人物的区别

木兰天赋禀异，体内有“气” （问号脸）

We understand that Mulan has a lot of stored up chi, she is very powerful and she’s told by her family that she needs to hide that and marry a man and be respectful. We understand from the get-go (the very beginning) from the first few scenes







到了战场，不再躲藏，脱下盔甲换红装

She had a lot of incredible abilities. when she goes off to war, she's still trying to hide that power and eventually she unleashes it. she strips away her father’s armor and ride off into battle in a red gown with no armor of any kind



虽可解读为：不要屈服，不要隐藏，不能活成他人期待的模样

the message of course, could be interpret in a lot of ways. One of them could be that you shouldn't hide your inner beauty, you shouldn’t hide your abilities, you shouldn’t try to conform to what the world wants you to be and you should let all that shine and be yourself and not allow someone to tell you are inferior just because they think you are







实际让人产生距离感，因为我不是the chosen one

my wife said the film actually made her feel more alienated than included because instead of a regular girls training her body and her mind to get to the peak of her potential and achieve what no one else could in her time, we have a character that’s done from the start of the movie and all that’s left for her as a character is to choose to no longer hide that



讨厌这种风气：本来努力才是主题，而主角都有神力

You have to like legitimately work hard to achieve these things and I don’t like how business doing this trend lately where people just are magical from the get-go and they never have to train or work, learn or anything



6. 主角空洞的演技......（神仙姐姐还需要磨炼啊）



the wooden acting

the lead actress unfortunately is very blank and sort of wooden throughout most of the movie and there are scenes that you want her to really be expressing how important the moments are to her. I just didn’t really feel that





以上，我昨天又温习了一遍动画版，也看了几篇评论讲为什么木兰动画版在美国受欢迎；而今天看到纽约时报报导的关于某些地区因为某些原因而抵制这部电影的事情，觉得有些不知道该说些什么了... 观后感 http://www.guanhougan.cc/yingping/19451.html
