I was watching Mulan with my brother and half the time all I could think about was how badly they treated women in general and how women's rights was a theme to that movie. Like near the end when the annoying guy says "She's a woman, she'll never amount to anything." Gah! How annoying. Or near the beginning when the townspeople are singing, "We all must serve . . . in some way, boys for bearing arms, girls for bearing sons." I was pointing out some of these things to by brother because he was wondering who the match-maker was and I told him how they didn't choose who they married, the adults chose for them. And then I went on a tangent about how that was all a girl could do: get married. If you fail at that then you pretty much failed at life. Then he asked why the Emperor didn't do something to fix that, because he seemed like a good person. =) Golly, I love that kid. I really hope he doesn't have to read The Good Earth for a very long time.
Anyway, it's just another proof of my nerdiness. I started unintentionally analyzing the themes of a Disney movie. Sigh, I see what my teacher meant about not talking to people about what you really think about movies unless they are an English nerd too.

Your teacher told you that? Funny! I like your blog. I am glad Ali told me about it. I think maybe you and I are similar :)
