I think this movie is the best Mulan compared to other Mulan-related movies, especially the Disney ones. This is not child-friendly, obviously, but every scenes are much more logical. Mulan wasn't instantly become the best fighter. She had to practice and went through ups and dows, even had a depression period when people around her died. The battle scenes also were shot perfectly.

One scene that successfully made me cry a river is when she was pushed to kill her own horse, the one that had went through numerous battles with her, "In the next life, we will switch sides and you can kill me". NOOOOOOOO

Btw, THIS MULAN hates war. She hates it even when she won any battles because she knew that war never worth human's lives.
