Other Asians

        Let's get down to business to talk about...Mulan. One of my favorite princesses, and not just because she's Asian. Mulan is a very strong, very underestimated girl. She lives in China with her family when her dad is informed that he is needed to assist the emperor  in protecting China. Her dad, who is now injured faces death if he does not fight in the army. Mulan goes in her father's place and fights in the army. Her journey is tough but she makes it through. Along the way she falls in love with the General.
         General Shang is tough and well-disciplined. Our young heroine has a hard time resisting the stand-offish, hot-headed general. Of course the road to love is never easy and Mulan is found out. She is given a dismissal but later returns for the greater good of China. Much to the General's dismay he ends up falling for Mulan. What started as a mutual hatred turns out to be a great love story.
          Throughout the whole movie people are singing like crazy. Kind of weird for having a movie talking about war against the Huns. My favorite songs is Let's Get Down to Business, a song all about training people for war. I was way to amazed as a kid and am still enamored with it today. Mulan is such a great character because  she is a strong person.
             Mulan being the strong person she is teaches us two things; the first,to be a great person to others and second, a strong person in your family. She is a genuine person on the inside as well as how she conducts herself on the outside. Her tale of success happens because she makes it happen. This is what we should really take away from this movie, not if you join the army then you'll marry a general. Be a strong person and you will shine above the others. Signing off, Asian Out!!!!
