Abstract
Different cultures are the treasures of different countries; every single point in life constitutes similarities and differences between cultures. Because of different cultures, Hua Mulan’s images in Chinese and American films are different. Being influenced by the ideas of collectivism, filial piety, loyalty and masculinity, Mulan in Chinese Hua Mulan is brave and kind, but also implicit and forborne. While her role in American Hua Mulan tends to be more active and daring, sometimes a little crazy, eager to achieve self-realization as a result of individualism, feminism and egalitarianism in America.
By comparing and analyzing the differences and similarities between Hua Mulan’s images in Chinese and American Hua Mulan, this study will elaborate the cultural reasons. It is the different cultural modes that construct Chinese and American Hua Mulan’s unique images which affect modern women from diverse aspects.
Key words: Hua Mulan; China; America; similarities and differences between cultures; women
