An outstanding film for anyone. Truly incredible and beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (9 July 2005)

I watched the movie about three days ago for the first time and I have to say that its just a great movie. It has excellent songs and can be enjoyed by all ages. But be warned: The true story is FAR different then in this movie. Its hard to have the same respect for the film knowing that most of it is fictionalized. None the less, its an extraordinary movie and you should definitely watch it. However, you should do some research on the true story if you want to fully understand what the film is about. Some say that it is so far from the true story that it can't even be considered to be the same story. But the fact is that Disney wasn't interested in facts. They just wanted to make an enjoyable film and they delivered. Now for the music: The song "Colors of the wind" is a truly beautiful song and has a powerful message and I can see why it won so many awards. "Savages" is also a good song. I can't say that there are any faults with any of the songs in this movie. I get agitated when people cut down the film for the fact that its not exactly historically accurate. But the fact is that Disney simply couldn't make a film appropriate for all ages if they had used the actual events. For example: You can feel the chemistry between John Smith and Pocahontas very strongly.In the movie they both meet as young adults. You simply would be unable to feel the chemistry on that kind of a level if John Smith was 30 ad Pocahontas was 12. Now I know what you saying: " This is a Disney movie. How could it possibly be on a adult maturity?" Believe me, if its a mature film experience you want, watch this movie. This is simply one of the best movies of all time and there is no denying it.
