Character
The scene I chose is from the movie Mulan. In the movie China is at war, so when Mulan's father is called upon to fight, Mulan begins to worry and become upset. Mulan already feels like she doesn't fit in right with the other women of China, because they are supposed to be proper, and perfect. Mulan makes a decision that effects the rest of the movie, by taking her dad's place at war. But, Mulan is technically not allowed to because she is a woman. Women are not allowed to fight at war, so Mulan dresses up as a man to try and trick the men in charge of the army. Mulan begins to prepare by taking her dad's armor and sword.
This shows good character because Mulan decides to save her dad from the dangerous war he was about to face. Mulan is not selfish because she risks her life by going into a war in which she has had no training for. She wants to keep her father safe. There are many conflicts in this scene, but the one I thought was the best is relationship conflict. The relationship with her father would be diffrent after she secretly took his place at war. But, she was okay with that because she does it to save him.
