Beautiful film

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2007)

Having been pleasantly surprised that this film did not have the usual Disney-like take on it, I watched with full attention and in the end left feeling that I had just watched a beautifully-made movie. The love story was honest as it was innocent and Q'Orianka Kilcher's portrayal as Pocahontas was brilliant for someone that slipped under my radar of rising young stars. Her character portrayal reflects the innocence of a young indigenous Indian and also the transformation into a western cultured lady. Colin Farrel and Christian Bale also added great performances. I highly recommend this film and it will definitely make its way into my personal movie collection.
