[+14000] #HuaMulan# Do Americans have a very skewed understanding of China?
It's impossible for Northern Wei to recruit soldiers from Fujian tulou*. Pay them? Still impossible. That area isn't part of the Northern Dynasty...
*Northern Wei: 386–535 BC. Fujian tulou: Chinese rural dwellings unique to the Hakka in the mountainous areas in southeastern Fujian built between the 12th and 20th centuries.During the Southern and Northern Dynasties era, the Southern Dynasties reigned south of the Yangtze River, including Fujian.

1. [+8639] Not using any black actors/actresses is already the biggest concession Disney has made  Geography enthusiasts should be very grateful 

[+1024] Not necessarily, who knows, they might use them to play the Xiongnu 
[+165] Using Asian people is already being politically correct

2. [+5740] Look on the bright side, take a look at the mermaid next door, at the very least the characters are being played by Chinese people 

[+1359] In this movie, besides Donnie Yen who reverted his nationality [back to Chinese], the rest are foreign 
[+747] I think Lui Yi Fei is a naturalised American citizen, not too sure though...

3. [+3251] I'm very confused. Isn't Hua Mulan supposed to come from Hebei? How can she be from Fujian tulou? But seeing how upset everyone was, I didn't dare to say it.

[+880] Hua Mulan is from Hebei*
*Province in Northern China

4. [+4105] I was stunned when I saw those tulou. I'm not asking Disney to be too particular with the details but they still can't be this careless. Don't just stick Hua Mulan into a tulou just because you think it looks cool. Hua Mulan isn't a Fujian person.

[+383] We should be grateful it isn't a black person hahaha

5. [+3550] "She bids farewell to her parents at dawn, and sets up camp beside the Yellow River at night.*" Mulan can run to the Yellow River from Fujian in one day which means Mulan is a bullet train 
*Line from Ballad of Mulan

6. [+2625] The setting that Mulan enlists in the army to escape from marriage. It's based off the animated version, but Mulan in the animated movie enlists in place of her elderly ailing father. But this Fujian tulou Mulan... And, if the Rouran have almost conquered down to Fujian, the Northern dynasty would have fallen already...

7. [+968] No matter who Liu Yi Fei acts she's acting Liu Yi Fei.

8. [+584] Americans problem is they don't understand the history of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Also it seems like Disney Hua Mulan is fighting the Xiongnu* 
*In the Ballad of Mulan, they are fighting the Rouran invaders.

[+99] Also possible that they don't know how big China is 

9. [+739] They're filming a Disney Mulan, which follows the animated movie. You'll be able to accept it if you think about it that way. Because this NOT our Mulan, it's the remake of the animated movie.

[+47] But they aren't remaking the movie either, the plot is way worse than the animated movie. I'd be able to accept it if it really was a faithful remake of the animation.

[+30102] #LuiYiFeiMakeup# The Mulan trailer is out. Liu Yi Fei's make-up is very faithful to the original: Soft thick black hair and yellow powder on her forehead! I'm looking forward to it! #HuaMulan #HuaMulanMakeUp

1. [+15827] Even Fairy Sister can't pull off the make-up in the first photo 

2. [+5543] Only she can pull off that make-up.

3. [+5312] Fairy Sister is super beautiful, but what the heck is that first picture ha ha ha ha ha

4. [+3892] Picture

5. [+2576] This is the make-up that was in fashion during the Northern and Southern dynasties*
*420–589 BC

6. [+2102] The first picture is meant to be a joke. Some people saying that it's not beautiful. If it's not beautiful, then they've done it right. This is one of the scenes in the cartoon 

7. [+1895] 

Caption: What you think you look like after make-up.
What you really look like after make-up.

8. [+1025] Perhaps a lot of you haven't watched the original movie. The first image is really good. It's a faithful reproduction of the make-up in the original match-making scene  

9. [+958] Huawei logo on her forehead

Caption: Supporting Huawei through action

10. [+821] Must watch...looking forward to it

11. [+508] Seeing comments placing their own ideal aesthetics above historical accuracy is extremely ridiculous. No wonder historical dramas now are so filtered and lightened...

12. [+306] Why does she only ever has one expression on her face. Her face doesn't even move when she's killing people. She just stares.

13. [+273] Sister!!! 

14. [+141] A bit Geisha-like.

15. [+139] Northern and Southern dynasty make-up. It's the same as the animated version.

[+3311] #Poster# Poster of the Live Action Disney Mulan released! Directed by Niki Caro, starring Liu Yi Fei, Yoson An, Donnie Yen, Gong Li, Susana Tang, Jet Li and Cheng Peipei. In theatres, March 27, 2020.

1. [+1091] So cool!

[+9] This face will look right at home at the army camp.
[+4] Let the foreigners see how bad Chinese actors and actresses' acting can be.

2. [+735] It fits, it's General Mulan!!

3. [+226] This version of Mulan can't even compete with the animated version! Liu's movements look very weak, and lacks the gentle and reserved "masculine air"! Miscast! 

[+405] If you're the boss of Disney then say what you want but if you aren't, shut up.
[+255] They haven't shown enough in the trailer to make a definite conclusion but I don't think there's any need to immediately say that she's a miscast. I can't think of anyone more suited to play Mulan than her. Daddy Disney did a good job.
