Live-action remake ng ‘Mulan’ basag kay Erik Matti: Hindi nakuha ang kaluluwa ng orig
BINASAG ng direktor na si Erik Matti ang live-action version ng Disney classic na “Mulan.”
Isa lamang ang Filipino filmmaker sa mga nangnega sa bagong version ng “Mulan” at bago pa man ito ipalabas, marami na ang nagreklamo sa pagkawala ng ilang sikat na karakter sa live-action remake pati na ang timeless music mula sa 1998 animated film.
Sa kanyang Instagram post, ibinahagi ni Direk Erik ang pagkadismaya nang mapanood na ang pelikula at inilarawan pa itong “overhyped”.
“I’ve waited for a year to see #Mulan. I loved the trailer when it first came out. The animated version was a favorite.
“Watched the original one with my kids over and over again when they were growing up. I know every montage and plot point including all the memorable songs.
“Now, I’ve finally seen the highly anticipated overhyped live action version,” aniya sa caption ng ipinost niyang poster ng “Mulan.”
Patuloy pa niyang pagpuna sa pelikula, “What a disappointment! It feels old and backward than the animated version. Boring, bland and by the numbers.
“They never got the soul of the original. I guess this is what happens when you only want to cash in on a franchise. A movie made by numbers people second-guessing what China would love to see,” lahad pa niya.
Pero naniniwala ang direktor na sa kabila ng mga kakulangan ng movie, tatabo pa rin ito sa takilya.
“Lion King live action didn’t work as a musical. This Mulan didn’t work without the songs.
“Mulan live action is neutered with all the humor charm excitement and flamboyance gutted out.
“But what do I know? I’m sure the suits were right about this. It’ll make tons of money in China.
“Even the action parts look tired and rehashed with lots of parts where the editing jumps here and there probably edited to death on the floor by too many showrunners and producers.
“But I’ll rewatch the animated one again just to preserve the best memory of how I want to remember Mulan before it was ruined by this heavily diluted generic live action version,” mensahe pa ng direktor.
