It seems like she goes through similar stages. This also makes us think about coming out, and accepting homosexuality. Mulan is confused with this idea of a dual self: when she looks at herself in the mirror, it doesn’t align with her internal feelings.
REFLECTION MULAN TRANSGENDER SERIES
Butler argues that gender is performed and that it is performative, it is acted through a series of imitations. She sees marriage as a play, so not as something she truly wants and respects, she looks further than only becoming a wife. The lyrics suggest the struggle of the character to be accepted for who she truly is. The film was released in 1998, which was the third wave of feminism, and explains the primary message of the movie: you can be a girl and a hero. There are different meanings to that song.
This kindly suggests a disruption is coming soon and that she is not going to accomplish her role as a ‘perfect bride’. The scene ends with Mulan singing “Must I pretend that I am someone else for all time? When will my reflection show who I am inside?”. Not only that but she also says "who is that girl I see" which means she doesn't recognize herself her reflection so when people judge her as a good and pretty girl she doesn't think that herself.The following shot is her reflection on numerous mirrors, she removed her makeup, she is accepting herself step by step, and the shot highlights her rejection of normative gender roles in the Chinese society: she wants to choose who she wants to be. This song is a lot about judgement because she is even judging herself in this song thinking she will never be good enough that is also what she is saying when she sings "I will never pass as a perfect bride or a perfect daughter" she thinks she will never be good enough for a man or her parents. Also just pay attention to society and you will realize a lot about this song is true in the real world. Anyway that is what I think Mulan is singing about. This song shows that you can't always be the person you have to be you have to be you although sometimes it hurts you or your family and friends and Mulan is saying why can't people see who she really is just for he and this happens a lot it society when she says "when will my reflection show who I am inside" she is saying when will people realize who she is like when will they match there thoughts and judgement or there reflection of her to who she really is.
REFLECTION MULAN TRANSGENDER FREE
She wants to be free of all the illusions and expectations of her image, but doesn't feel strong enough to show her real self to the whole world yet. I think, that mulan struggles to be who she is without being disapproved by everyone who loves her.
This lovely soneg means that she is thinking about who she is insidelost as to who one truly is, and how the outside, is not what is on the in. You do thing that you don't like, but you have to do this because of your love once. Someone not special to yourself because you can't seen to recognize yourselfhaving to hide your true self to protect people you love but it somehow seems impossiblemost important is doing your best than being the bestthe character mulan conveying a loving & protective daugther.
Mulan realizes throughout her struggles she will be her true self and her parents will accept her for who she truly is. Not your true self to protect your family.
