Abstract

This study examines the moral values represented through Hua Mulan, the main character in Disney’s live-action film Mulan (2020). It aims to identify and describe the types of moral values reflected in Mulan’s actions, dialogue, decisions, and interactions with other characters, particularly when facing moral dilemmas. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach, with scenes and dialogues from the film serving as the primary data. The data were collected through repeated observation of the film and note-taking to identify relevant scenes and conversations that demonstrated moral values. The collected data were then classified and analyzed using the moral values framework proposed by Linda and Eyre (1995). The findings reveal eight moral values represented through Mulan’s character: honesty, courage, self-reliance and potential, loyalty and dependability, respect, love, unselfishness and sensitivity, and kindness and friendliness. These values are demonstrated through her willingness to reveal her identity, her courage in facing danger, her commitment to protecting the kingdom, and her concern for her family and fellow soldiers. The findings indicate that Mulan (2020) provides examples of moral values that can be explored through film-based activities in English language teaching. Teachers may use selected scenes and dialogues to encourage character analysis, critical discussion, opinion expression, and reflection on ethical dilemmas while supporting students’ language development.
