omg Exile89 you hit it on the head.
there was no dialogue, and what there was i didnt understand! you had to rely on the cinematrography to know what was going on and with all the arty shots of nothing even that was hard to follow.
and you had no idea about how much time had passed i mean come on, shots to distinguish that its a different time are easy to through in!
and not ending up with john smith in the end is was just icing on the cake.
disneys the best, it had awesome songs (even if in pocahontas 2 she got a new love interest)posted 501 days ago -
i can understand why people like this film. i can apreciate the shot compostion, it was really beautiful, but it was boring as hell! it was soo slow, if it was me i would cut about an hour off it, cause all the arty shots were just boring! and i appreciate arty films, i like things that are artistcally challenging (i study media i have to look at that sorta thing all the time, hey were making an arthouse short film now) but this was just badly done, and from a director with that many years under his belt id expect a lot more!
after the whole extended bit of him living with the indians, i just ended up amusing my self by comparing the movie to Pocahontus, and finding reasons why the disney one was better. i was watching it with my dad and he were doing the same thing. by the time they got to engliand we was like "where's all the songs? and the talking tree? raccon?' but then hey they landed and their was a dog, and their was the racoon in a cage! the movie was just a bad Pochontus.posted 501 days ago -
Don't you think the reason why this movie rebukes (apparently) so many viewers is because they expect an epic tale of clashing civilizations, a romance of star-crossed lovers or a novel about the first European settlements in America, and get instead a poem about trees, organic growth and the discovery and acceptance of the self and of one's place in the universe (which is very different from "resignation")? It might be judicious to see it that way before debunking it on criteria (slow, contemplative pace, few direct dialogues and such) which do not apply to it.

I can appreciate all comments on the daring aspect of the film. Its bold in its scope and accurate representation of fact. However when watching it the only thing i have seen before that i can liken it too is a 2hour long perfume commercial; Well not the entire film of course but there were these points throughout the film when he was learning the ways of the indians, when the sun is shooting through the trees and he is holding the indian women in his arms yadda yadda and i just expected it to go "Calvin Klein" or something. Don't get me wrong i appreciate the effort, and liked the contrast between the settlers and the natives, but it prob is the worst film i've seen in along time...and i've seen american dreamz another terrible film so thats saying something
