The film Mulan 2020 tells the story of the life of a soldier named Mulan. In this film, female characters are depicted as active narrative objects and carry the message of feminism.

To achieve the objectives of the researcher. The researcher uses a qualitative approach with semiotic analysis based on television codes which are divided into three levels, namely the level of reality, the level of representation and the level of ideology.

At the level of representation, feminism values are shown through camera codes, characters, actions, conflicts and dialogues. At the ideological level, the values of feminism which are represented by women and nature have a close and inseparable relationship.
