Can't Help Falling in Love. Ultimate [From Freaky Friday]. Our Lips Are Sealed. Reach [From Ice Princess]. The lyrical content expresses the way Mulan feels about wanting to show the world who she really is instead of pretending to be who she is not, but is afraid to disappoint her family by doing so. This scene takes place at Mulan's home in its surrounding gardens and ends in her family temple, where she removes her makeup to reveal her true appearance in sadness. Look at me I will never pass for a perfect bride Or a perfect daughter Can it be I'm not meant to play this part?
Why is my reflection someone I don't know? When will my reflection show Who I am inside? Who is that perfect bride? It's not me Though I've tried. How I pray That a time will come I can free myself From their expectations On that day I'll discover someway to be myself And to make my family proud They want a docile lamb No-one knows Who I am Must there be a secret me I'm forced to hide?
And it's tuff. To tray to be as good as her all the time. To tray to be someone like I don't are! But I going to be on her side. For ever and ever. Honestly this song is really hard to be described in a short review like this. If you haven't already watch this film I seriously urge you to do so. This movie might be old but it certainly will remain gold, watching this movie will not only allow you to understand this song better but also to let you enjoy the amazing movie "Mulan".
This song has so many layers of meaning but I feel the best way to sum it up is simply this you have to live your life for yourself, as much as you may want to make everyone else happy by playing the role they have planned for you that will end up leaving you hollow inside without any idea of who you are. Milan in this sing is coming to terms with the fact that she must live for herself and hope those she loves will love who she is and not who they want her to be.
When Mulan sings "I will never pass as a perfect bride or a perfect daughter," to me she's saying that what they see isn't matched up to who she really is. When she disguises herself as ping, she's seen as who she really is. Because I'm not the girl everyone knows me to be. I'm a boy. For me, in this case discrimination is being applied.
When she does think that nobody accept the true her and being scared to hurt somebody family or being judge by anybody she decided to hide the true her. She was afraid but at the end "acceptance is the key" which she accept herself and felt being free. For me Mulan is afraid to show her true self because she might hurt the feelings of her family or love ones.
Because they have expectations from her, and those expectations doesn't reflect or show her true self. She think that being her true self make those people disappointed. And they may not accept her.
Mulan want to be free to expressed the real her that free from judgements of people. Sometimes an armor isn't a metal. Nowadays, to conceal what's inside, you have to deviate from the norm. For example, if all the girls are trying to be slim to be attractive to men, you shouldn't follow them because if you do, you'll be leaving lots of people behind who are important to you. Your family. There is greater fulfillment in overcoming one's personal desire for the common good.
We're not meant to live our life for our own sake. Life has greater value through sacrifice. Well, being human, you sometimes look in the mirror and say "what if I live life without thinking of some other important people other than myself? Mulan just want to be away from her family not be nice her farther get made so mulan ran away from her family so mulan can take her father place so her father does not need to die mulan is just saving her father. Mulan want her father to be save for the bad guys but her family and her father and mush help mulan and mulan tell thrut to Shang mualn save shang.
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.
Anyway that is what I think Mulan is singing about. Also just pay attention to society and you will realize a lot about this song is true in the real world.
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. 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.
Hope you agree with me! Mulan trying to be someone else based on people expecting she is. But when she saw her reflection, the time that only she can see her self, she can't deny her true self, which is different from people expecting on her.
Like me I am trying to be someone else. I am trying to be a smart student, to be friendly, to be perfect. But I know I'm not that kind of person. Pretending and acting like someone else is so hard.
I've experience it, many times.
