animations-daily’s 100K Celebration Week: Day 2: Favourite Animated Character → Mulan
“I’ve heard a great deal about you, Fa Mulan. You stole your father’s armor, ran away from home, impersonated a soldier, deceived your commanding officer, dishonored the Chinese Army, destroyed my palace, and… you have saved us all.”
“You’re not helping! Why is that, Leon? They’re just questions, Leon. In answer to your query, they’re written down for me. It’s a test, designed to provoke an emotional response…”
“There’s a type of person I call a vegetarian zealot, or evangelist, who puts people off because they’re preaching all the time. Then, there are people who have every bit the same degree of passion and commitment, but live that passion in a way that’s contagious and expressive in a positive sense. People around them want to be like them, want to be vegetarian, want to live a more compassionate life, want to live a more human life, want to live a more environmentally attuned life. As opposed to browbeating people or hitting them over the head, it’s a question of addressing that which is within them, the spark of awareness and caring, and helping it find expression, helping it to come forward. That’s what River did”
While filming in Oregon’s high desert country, Van Sant was surprised to learn that River was born in nearby Madras, in Jefferson County, which is adjacent to the Warm Springs Indian Reservation where the road and the campfire scenes were shot. “I didn’t know until he told me, and I thought it was an amazing coincidence. That road that he stands on in the film is about thirty minutes away from where he was born”
When I was a kid, whenever I’d feel small or lonely, I’d look up at the stars. Wondered if there was life up there. Turns out I was looking in the wrong direction.
