Beautiful but boring at parts

Rating: 8/10 (30 August 2018)

For an assignment is a history through film class. So we can be introduced to Terrence Malick. Malick is telling a story about Jamestown and its settlers. Specifically the natives, Pocahontas, John Smith and John Rolfe. He tried to capture what life was like with the natives and settlers. He also showed the difficulties Pocahontas had with loving Smith and trying to balance him and her people.
Something that gave away the time period was definitely the way of life. It was very primitive and uncivilized. Very dirty and lack of technology. The clothing was another thing because like no body where's dresses that stop you from breathing properly.
I don't really know anything about the history of Jamestown so there wasn't anything i caught until i was told. Things like Pocahontas meeting Smith back in England Also the exaggeration of her saving Smith's life.
I haven't seen any movies based in this period of time. Therefore I can't make any connections.
How it showed the natives as friendly and playful until provoked. The expressions of the actors. It wasn't all serious, there was light heartedness.
They didnt show what happened to the settlers, yeah we know they got sick and starved but what was it like?
It was a good movie overall. It was the closest ive seen to it being the real story even with the added junk. I do want to see more movies by Malick and movies with the same actors.
