Review

Rating: 6/10 (4 September 2018)

I am watching this movie for a history through film class. The class is watching it together to see the differences in camera movements and different elements of Terrance Maliks filming. Arriving with the British expedition in Virginia is captain john smith. Is captured by native Americans. They spare his life because of a girl named Pocahontas. She was the daughter of the tribe chief. She had fallen in love captain john smith. John smith was sent away and his death was reported. Pocahontas went on and married John Rolfe and when john smith arrives Pocahontas is torn. For the year of the movie being filmed it was pretty advanced. Terrence Malik new how to capture things in different ways with the movements with his camera. How old Pocahontas was. I am sure there are lots of other connections to movies but i have not seen them. I do think that other directors have used Terrence Maliks movements and thought processes in there movies. I liked the movie in general. I liked the way the camera flowed with the mood of the movie. I like Terrence Maliks directing. I did not like that it wasn't 100% accurate.The movie was good. I would watch it again. I found it pretty interesting because I didn't know much about the Pocahontas story. Yes i would like to watch more movies from Terrence Malik. I like his directing.
