Disney inauthentic? You don’t say!
“Mulan” is inauthentic? As opposed to those authentic movies, Bambi, Snow White, and Cinderella.
When I see “based on a true story” I view with a somewhat jaundiced eye.
I am not watching a movie to get my history-I am watching for entertainment.
For example, I am currently reading “Gates of Fire” and in the middle of the book, watched the movie “300”.
Now, I didn’t watch it for historical purposes...I watched it to get my mind visually into the period. Now, I understand there is nearly nothing historically accurate, but...the fact there was a battle.k. I just did it for...flavor.
I didn't know that. The earliest change I remember, and nothing to do with China, was the movie ET. He was flying off on a bicycle and they removed the gun from the cop's hand and replaced it with a walkie-talkie. This was 1991 or so

They removed Japan and Taiwan's flags from his jacket.
Chinese historical epics tend to be very “inauthentic” to the historical material.
On the other hand they can make very good movies.
Look for “God of War”.
Disney’s credits thanked the NAZIS, er, the Xingiang Security forces who run concentration camps for 1,000,000 muslims, destroy mosques, murder thousands and harvest organs.
Way to go, Walt.
