The New World

Rating: 8/10 (30 August 2018)

I am currently in a History through film class. And in this class we have to review movies that we watch in the class. It is about settlers coming to the new world. It shows how the natives live their lives. It shows how John Smith meets Pocahontas. He has to leave her and she meets the second John. Then she loves the other John. The movie was made pretty recently so the technology is pretty good. The acting was good for the time period. I don't know how the natives lived their life so it seemed like good acting. Our teacher was telling us about some of the stuff that actually happened in the time period. And some of the events do not add up to the movie and real life. I have not seen that many movies that have been close to this movie. I liked how they set up the setting in the new world. The fight scenes seemed very realistic and it was cool to see the tactics they used back then. I didn't like how they ended the movie having Pocahontas die. The overall movie was OK. It wasn't an outstanding movie but I would not mind if I had to watch it again.I would watch a different movie made by this director. He does a good job at telling a story and has good camera work. I wouldn't mind if I watched a movie with these actors in it.
