An actor’s, touching, and immensely realized version of the legendary animation has just hit theaters.
In 1998, for release hit animated adaptation of the Chinese legend of the brave warrior – Hua Mulan , who decides to trick enlist in the army of the emperor of China to defend his family, as well as all over the country against invaders from the north.
The acting adaptation of “Mulan” is a film rich in various costumes, colors, beautiful landscapes and, above all, an unusual cast , made by the New Zealand director Niki Caro .
“Mulan is a film whose premiere has long been awaited by both fans of the cult original from twenty years ago and young viewers attached to Disney films. This is great and exciting entertainment at the highest level, which can be enjoyed by viewers of all ages. It is also a confirmation that we always find a place for films for younger audiences in our repertoire, ” notes Katarzyna Opertowska, Marketing Director at Cinema City Poland.
The filmmakers focused very much on capturing details such as decorations, makeup, weapons, clothing, and architecture that make up the amazing image of China during the Tang Dynasty . Equally, and perhaps even more crucial, were the outdoor locations in China, which were filmed in about 20 locations across the country, which gave the picture a unique realism. The title role was played by the talented Yifei Liu , alongside the greatest stars of Chinese cinema, such as Tzi Ma, Donnie Yen and Jet Li.
The Cinema City network has made available to viewers 4 different formats . In addition to the usual 2D, “Mulan” will be shown in full 3D, as well as in ScreenX technology, which uses not only the central screen, but also the side walls of the room, as well as 4DX, which thanks to movable seats and advanced environmental solutions offers a cinematic experience full of special effects .
