In the first movie, this Asian girl who looks suspiciously like Mulan is recruited a sensei to save umm...the world I guess. So she is trained by him very intensely and she falls in love with him in the process. He is much older than her though but has aged well, I liken him to an Asian version of Richard Gere (I daresay that man is still attractive). Anyway, after her training she goes and does her thing to save the world. Meets a guy who falls in love with her and is like perfect. So he asks her to marry him but she can't because she is in love with her sensei. However the sensei is part of a secret society and a secret village with strict rules who don't allow outsiders. Now that his job with her is done, he must return. But she is so smitten by him that she agrees to live in the village as the lowest socioeconomic person there, basically a slave. It's all so unfortunate, really.
Second movie. Starts out with a Japanese princess who gets kidnapped by these Asian villains. She is so very pretty and helpless, stereotypical of how princesses in distress are portrayed. It so happens that this princess is the child of the sensei! Her name is like Kisagurumi or something long and hard to pronounce like that. Well, for some reason, her nickname is Mindy, so let's just go with that. So dear Mindy is kidnapped and sensei is distressed and distraught. Dear Mulan lookalike, who's name happens to be Cindy, goes to rescue her for him. Being awesome as she is, she successfully does so. Delighted his daughter is saved, sensei tells Cindy that when she returns to the village, things will be different this time. She is hopeful that he will finally love her in return.
Now here is where my dream begins:
Movie three, things have not changed. There cindy is, still a slave in this village where she is considered an outsider. She has made a few friends but they are of lower class, just like her. Being a slave, she wears ragged old clothes and has chains on her arm as she does hard labor and menial work. The sensei she loves still does not love her in return. She's sick of it and she wants to get away. She devises a plan to escape this secret village whose forcefield makes it hard for anyone to get in or out.
On a normal day as she is working, chance has it that somehow, a large ogre gets into the forcefield and starts attacking. She is grabbed by the ogre and screams for help. One of her friends punches the ogre and she jumps out of the ogre's hand. In the confusion, the citizen who normally opens and closes the door of the forcefield, is shocked by the sight and forgets to close the door, letting the winds blow in from the outside and knocking him far away. Cindy lands near the entrance and starts forcing her way through the wind to get to the exit.
Her sensei, from atop a tower on the hill looking over the village, yells what seems to be her name. Cindy looks up, almost losing sight of her plan at the thought that her beloved sensei is worried about losing her. WRONG! He is yelling Mindy. I don't think he even remembers Cindy's name. He only remembers that it is somewhere close to his daughter's nickna,e. Disappointed and further heart broken, Cindy spurs on while a small friend of hers follows, intending to leave the village as well.
They make it through the exit and out the other side. Her small friend gets scared by the outside world so he returns inside. The door is closed and Cindy stands right by near the forcefield as the villagers look at her. She waves goodbye to them and leaves, going to the pier nearby and taking a small boat to go back to her old home.
Her old home is like a farm or a ranch. It has a main house and a lot of land. Her family welcomes her back with open arms and she even gets her old room back. A lot of these comforts, she did not have when she was in the village. As she naps in her old bed, she is awoken by the sound of raindrops hitting the roof. She is almost confused by the sound. In the village, the forcefield drowns out all sounds and lets nothing through, so she had forgotten the rain and what it was like. Her little brother knocks on her door so she goes out to play with him in the dining area. Her house is small but cozy.
That evening, there is a party going on. There are so many people there and they almost take up the whole property. The party is outdoors, of course. She sees a lot of people that she has not seen in a long time. There is this old guy named Chief who is, for some unknown reason, following around her pet parrot. He is trying to grab it or something so he is luring the parrot with its favorite snack: acorns. So she is following him as he is following the parrot. When the parrot is distracted, he sees his chance and grabs the parrot. The parrot does not like that and gets angry and struggles its way out of Chief's hands. He leaves after that.
Cindy takes some acorns and gives it to the parrot. As revenge, the parrot has taken Chief's wallet and gives it to Cindy, telling her to go spend his money on some Chipotle for herself. As tempting as that is, Cindy decides anyway to return the wallet to Chief. The bad news is Cindy has forgotten what Chief looks like. So she asks a family member is she knew what Chief looks like. The description she was given was old with brown hair. That didn't help much but she decides to look.
She looks everywhere for him. On an interesting note, as she is going through the whole party, it seems all the teenagers had a room to themselves where they were all going crazy. Cindy was shocked by the revealing clothes and the alcohol they were drinking. I just thought that was funny. Anyway, so she continues to look for him but she can't find him. Suddenly, everyone is called together to line up for this raffle thing. Cindy figures she'll find him there. So she stands around looking for him. It is actually Chief who finds her first and takes his wallet back.
I know it's sudden but that's the end.
