Mulan (2020) is the live-action remake of Disney's classic Mulan (1998) animated film. Unlike other Disney's adaptations, this film tells the "legend" differently compared with the original one.

The story unfolds in medieval China. Mulan is hiding her "chi" because women are not accepted as warriors. Then a Mongol invasion happens and through conscription Mulan joins the army by pretending to be male and also hides her exceptional combat skills.

Some faithful fans are disappointed with the adaptation for not being faithful to original material. I admit that I haven't watch yet the 1998 animation. Only judged the 2020 live-action film for what it is, a good movie.
