This is the original Walt Disney Pocahontas movie!
Pocahontas Specifications
Disney's take on this historical confrontation between European settlers and Native Americans follows the paths of two future lovers. One is British adventurer John Smith, who travels the Atlantic with the Virginia Company to establish Jamestown. On the shore is Pocahontas, a typical Disney heroine: bright, beautiful, mischievous, and motherless. The two meet in the untamed wilds of America (the first meeting is quite divine), fall in love, and try to ward off the warring factions. It's Disney's version of a Native American West Side Story. Two Disney trademarks do not quite muster up: the villain isn't hissable and the score's only high point is the Oscar-winning "Colors of the Wind." Calling it "historical" is a stretch, but Disney created a very natural look at the two cultures. The Native American characters are handled especially well, and kids should be intrigued by their world; the movie is a far different lesson from the one their parents and grandparents learned. Disney has discovered a few things, though: you don't have to kill to solve your problems, and you can end the film without a happily-ever-after, illustrated by a touching final visual.

After the old VHS version of Pocahontas for the first time yesterday, I was a bit 'ambivalent film. Reading the post, but I noticed something strange that Pocahontas has done, especially for a cartoon: the U.S. has seriously discuss aspects of our history together. I remember the excitement when Pocahontas came out that Disney had finally created a heroine is not white. I think we can still feel the waves of excitement today asTalk about the difference between history and legend that the Indians were and are, and the impact of these issues for people living today.
As for historical accuracy, a person could be confused to think of a Disney movie, they would "see the story" on the screen to go. Pocahontas is a legend, and Disney, as usual, has created his own version of this legend. On the surface, the film is a love story between two people of different cultures. Again,The conflict between Indians and white settlers, "presented in this film are some references to historical aspects of the two groups, and what happened as a result. We can not expect an agreement with Disney-movie following the genocide.
The character of Pocahontas, that Disney has created so powerful that it overshadows the rest of the film. This is not a cardboard shape cute, but a mature woman, majestic, a source of inspiration for all those who should be watchingFilm. The character of John Smith is not quite the same quality, but still admirable. Smith is committed to the New World and ready to have a relationship with someone who previously served as a breeding ground "wild" to explore, as well Remain silent when the natives have accused him of killing one of their warriors. But it can not, as a noble gesture of protection Pocahontas Smith's body and told his father, he will kill her if he's going to kill the white man. This isPowerful stuff.
The basis of the love story is the message of honoring the land, captured beautifully in the song "Colors of the Wind." In Pocahontas, Disney artists are natural to life, rivers and majestic mountains of wonderful friends and Meek Flit Pocahontas. In color and sound, is a good movie.
In summary, everyone should see this beautiful film. Much more fun that you do, think seriously about what we are as Americans, asand the way we treat the planet that we all share.
