A
As the Disney company put it, they designed the movie to please Western audiences, who care more about the story than the historical facts. That's why Chinese audiences should not expect the film to have accurate Chinese elements even though the story is Chinese and almost all the leading actors are Chinese or at least ethnic Chinese. 2D

C
One has her dressing as a woman, the other with her practicing sword. Obviously Disney described Mulan as a warrior, an independent female who can save herself instead of waiting for someone to save her.4
E
That is generally because gender equality and female independence are now valued in both cultures. It will strike a chord with both Chinese and Western audiences.But whatever styles her clothes and makeup follow, Mulan is a Chinese legendary heroine and she embodies the virtues of Chinese women. 5
G
Chinese scriptwriters and directors can well tell stories about Chinese ancient heroes to the world, instead of waiting for Disney or Hollywood to tell them. Good stories move audiences of the whole world because their hearts are interconnected.A. Perhaps the criticism is unfair.

迪士尼电影《花木兰》的预告片已发布，该电影改编自其先前关于中国古代传说的动画片，中国观众迅速对其提出了批评。
1 正如迪士尼公司所说，他们制作这部电影是为了取悦西方观众，西方观众更在意故事而非历史事实。这就是为什么中国观众不应期望这部电影有准确的中国元素，尽管故事背景在中国，而且几乎所有主演都是中国人或至少是华裔。2
然而，这些差异无法掩盖中西方元素和价值观能够找到共同点的地方。预告片中媒婆描述好妻子应具备的品质（即一位女子要“文静、沉着、优雅、守规矩”）的片段就是一个很好的例子。3 一个形象是她穿着女装，另一个形象是她练习剑术。显然，迪士尼将花木兰描述为一名战士、一名能够自救而非等待他人拯救的独立女性。
4 这通常是因为性别平等和女性独立现在在两种文化中都受到重视。这会引起中西方观众的共鸣。
但无论她的服装和妆容遵循何种风格，花木兰都是中国的传奇女英雄，她体现了中国女性的美德。5 中国的编剧和导演完全可以向世界讲述中国古代英雄的故事，而不是等着迪士尼或好莱坞来讲述。好的故事能打动全世界的观众，因为人们的心是相通的。
A. 也许这种批评是不公平的。
B. 迪士尼因这样的批评遭受了巨大损失。
C. 这是伴随着花木兰以两种形象出现而说的。
D. 它通过西方人的视角展现中国元素。
E. 这是中西方价值观相似的一个很好的体现点。
F. 花木兰的两个形象让中国观众不满。
G. 迪士尼的《花木兰》应该促使中国电影行业更好地利用中国故事。
