Pocahontas

Pocahontas

Disney's version of the story of the brave native girl. 1995. Directors: Mike Gabriel, Eric Goldberg.
John Smith is a brave and handsome, and he's going to be captain of the ship that will take a bunch of men to America to explore the country and search for gold. The leader of them is the selfish Ratcliffe who just want the gold for himself.
John thinks that this "new world" isn't going to be any different then any other "new world" that he has discovered. But he couldn't be more wrong.
In this new world, John won't find the gold that he thought he would, but he'll meet the smart and gorgeous Pocahontas, daughter of the leader the indians there.
Pocahontas is troubled because her father wants her to marry the great warrior Kocoum, but she thinks that he's to serious and grumpy. She has dreamed about someone else, someone who she don't know about.
When the ship with John and his crew arrives to her land, he explore the forest and meet her at a waterfall. They spend time together and she teaches him that just because she's not like him, she's not a savage. They fall in love, but their love seems impossible when Ratcliffe wants to get rid of the indians.
I just love this film. It's marvelous and really great. The music is great and it's all very beautiful. The colors are all very good and creates the right feeling for the envorinment there and the nature.
It's kind of funny that Pocahontas falls in love with a man, so alike all others in his world. John Smith, very usual name, but for her, it's very different. He's blond and has blue eyes, very normal for us but all new to her. Fascinating.
