A slow and powerful portrayal of love

Rating: 9/10 (12 January 2009)

When i finished watching this movie i was awestruck by its beauty and sensitivity. The animated version of the Pochahontas is of course childish, but this tale of Pochahontas sheds light on what really transpired when the first settlers came to Virginia. It reveals the terrible hardships of the first settlers who came to Virginia, and how they failed to realize the beauty of the land that the Native Americans knew so well.
But what really moved me is the wonderful, selfless love that Roth gives Pochahontas and how he mends her heart after Smith's restless soul crushes it. The different levels of love portrayed in the movie are rich, beautiful and realistic; all shown with the amazing backdrop of a still wild America.
