Disney开年巨献《花木兰》(Mulan)的主题曲《忠勇真》(Loyal Brave True)本周正式曝光,格莱美奖获得者(Grammy winner)克里斯蒂娜·阿奎莱拉(Christina Aguilera)倾情献唱,而她也正是原版动画主题曲《Reflection》的演唱者。
Loyal Brave True (From "Mulan")
- Christina Aguilera
Lyrics by:
Composed by:
War is not freedom
Over my shoulder
I see a clearer view
All for my family
Reason I'm breathing
Everything to lose
Should I ask myself in the water
What a warrior would do
Tell me underneath my armor
Am I loyal brave and true
Am I loyal brave and true
Losing is easy
Winning takes bravery
I am a tiger's fool
Out in the open
No one to save me
The kindest of whispers are cruel
Should I ask myself in the water
What a warrior would do
Tell me underneath my armor
Am I loyal brave and true
Am I loyal brave and true
Cold is the morning
Warm is the dream
Chasing the answers
'Til I can't sleep
Will I be stronger
Or will I be weak
When you're not with me
Who am I without my armor
Standing in my father's shoes
All I know is that it's harder
To be loyal brave and true
Reflection (倒影)
- Christina Aguilera (克里斯蒂娜·阿奎莱拉)

Look at me
You may think you see
Who I really am
But you'll never know me
Every day
It's as if I play a part
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside
I am now
In a world where I
Have to hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me
Why is my reflection
Someone I don't know
Must I pretend that I'm
Someone else
For all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside
There's a heart
That must be free to fly
刘亦That burns with a need to know
The reason why
Why must we all conceal
What we think
How we feel
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide
I won't pretend that I'm
Someone else
For all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside
如果你看过迪士尼98年拍的《花木兰》动画片,一定对这首主题曲印象深刻。它有很多不同的版本,我比较偏爱Christina Aguilera,她演绎的英文版和西班牙语版都是我的心头爱。Christina Aguilera的嗓音很有爆发力,当年她唱这首歌的时候只有17岁,初出茅庐就惊艳了世界。
 这首歌,每次听都会有不同的感受。以前是因为旋律,听不了几句就会落泪,尤其是副歌,她的音越高越能让人催生一种挣脱束缚走出困境的力量,求而不得让我难过。现在看着歌词,依旧感动——她说想要做自己。 正因为年岁渐长,我才知道做自己有多么珍贵。
刘亦菲、李连杰、甄子丹、安佑森(Yoson An)、乌特卡什·安邦德卡尔(Utkarsh Ambudkar)、袁文忠(Ron Yuan)、马志(Tzi Ma)、赵家玲(Rosalind Chao)、郑佩佩(Pei-pei Cheng)、尼尔森·李(Nelson Lee)和钱姆·艾希勒珀拉(Chum Ehelepola)等都在演员阵容之列。
Nearly twenty two years after the animated Mulan became a hit for Disney, the studio has unveiled its updated, live-action take on the property at Monday's premiere at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, the first time it's been screened for the public.
在动画片《花木兰》成为Disney的热门影片近22年之后,本周一,Disney公司在好莱坞杜比剧院举行了首次公映,并推出了最新版的真人版《花木兰》。
据部分美国媒体反馈,《花木兰》在好莱坞举办的首映礼,赢得了大量正面评价。诸如“风格和动画版很不同,更像是一部史诗动作片!”、“影片打斗戏、场景设计都叹为观止!”、“突显了女性意识”等好评,同时也有不少媒体和观众肯定了影片主演刘亦菲的表现。
The first reactions to Mulan are rolling in.
首映礼后,各媒体对影片的评价也纷涌而至。
Insider记者@ KirstenAcuna:
#Mulan is absolutely fantastic. Different enough with great action scenes, but with the heart
of the original film. It doesn't even matter that it's not a musical. If you're a fan of the animated, there are subtle nods to many of the songs. Can’t wait to see this again.
这部电影绝对是很棒的,足够“不一样”:优秀的动作场景,但有原创电影的“灵魂”,它不是音乐剧这件事已经不重要了,如果你是动画版的影迷,片中有对许多歌曲的低调致敬,迫不及待想二刷。
Mashable娱乐记者@ alfaforeman:
Disney’s Mulan remake leaves a lot behind, but offers much more in its absence. Plenty of 1998 throwbacks pepper a story full of incredible action, humor, and heart.
新版《花木兰》舍弃了很多老版的东西,但也给了更多新东西。动作戏很棒、有幽默有情感,不少致敬动画版的瞬间散落其中。
Oh, and the romantic chemistry gets STEAMY. Like chanting “kiss” in a silent theater steamy.
对了,片中那些浪漫的化学反应十分旖旎,就像在安静的电影院中让人想喊“快接吻”的那种旖旎。
Slashfilm创办人@ PeterSciretta:
I’m very surprised at how much I liked the live action #Mulan movie. It’s so majestic, the action is thrilling, it aims for a level of sophistication and beauty you don’t expect.(I was never a huge fan of the animated film, I think I’ve only seen it once. So no attachments)
我没想到自己会那么喜欢真人版《花木兰》,非常壮观,动作戏激动人心,它力求在深度和美感上达到你意想不到的高度。(我并不是很爱动画电影,我好像只看过一遍动画版,所以没什么感情)
GeeksOfDoom影评人@ IamMichaelJLee:
#Mulan is one of the best live-action adaptation of a Disney animated classic. It honors the 1998 film and the ballad by modernizing themes of female empowerment and iconic scenes, while also standing out with great cinematography & battle sequences, which are r
eminiscent of Wuxia epics.
