Description

Amid the clash of European and Native American cultures following the founding of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607, the legendary romance of an English explorer, Captain John Smith (international superstar Colin Farrell - Alexander), and a beautiful Indian princess, Pocahontas (Q'orianka Kilcher), is transformed into a sweeping exploration of love, loss and discovery, both a celebration and an elegy for the America that was . . . and the America that was yet to come. The forbidden love of the passionate, noble young native and the ambitious soldier of fortune puts the pair at odds with their undeniable obligations to their own people and the inescapable demands of the human heart in the historical adventure epic The New World.

    I just saw the movie that being said the plot was good. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars wished it was more romantic and the ending was different. The other verison of the movie is different than this.

    This is the film where critics started to hedge their praise for Terrence Malick, who until this point was was one of cinema’s most celebrated directors. It’s a shame, because The New World is an achingly beautiful work of art, nearly on par with Malick's Days Of Heaven. Aside from the stunning cinematography and under-appreciated performances (Colin Farrell’s best work IMO), the film has a fantastic rhythm that comes in waves like wind or water. With Malick’s films, you don’t just see and hear, you touch and taste and smell. His worlds are palpable.
