Absolutely Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (24 May 2006)

I am sixteen years old, I recently pulled this film out of a box I found when moving. Remember, I was 5 when this film came out in England. My first reaction was..."wow" I understand that Disney is well loved and when I was 5, this was just another favourite film, now I can safely say that it is my ultimate favourite film, there is so much depth that is just not obvious to a typical 5 year old.
Like "To Kill A Mockingbird" it shows serious in-depth prejudice, the British settlers do not want to associate with the Native Americans and vice-versa. The British settlers want to completely take over and change the Native American's way of life. The depth touches me emotionally and along with the love story in all the political controversy, i found myself sobbing as the lovers parted knowing that they were unlikely to see one-another again. I know I am sixteen and probably too old to enjoy Disney, but quite frankly, I could not care less.
I watched this film with my sister-in-law as a 5 year old, the other day, we sat together and watched it again as a memoir of the "old days" again, we both sat in tears, it's just a pity that the sequel did not match up to the historical context!
