The new world review

Rating: 3/10 (30 August 2018)

To begin, I was watching this movie to learn about the different types of ways of film making and learning about how different things were during the 1600's. This was also around the time where the English took over the Natives. The plot of this movie starts off on an island in the middle of the ocean where most Natives had stayed and lived in harmony until the English men showed and without an invitation. At first, the Natives seen the English men as a threat but then later on in the movie, both sides learn to work together. This also includes the many journeys and obstacles the English men had to go through in order to get to the island and still be able to maintain food and water. Towards the end of the movie, viewers can start to point out that the bond between the Natives and the English men starts to separate which then makes the Natives see the men as a threat to their culture and civilization. Since this movie was based on the 1600's, and 1700's age period, the special effects and the way everything is set up, it is very different than what it is like today. For example, the castles and the clothing types that people would wear is also very different along with the men style as well. Another thing to point out is that the society is living in a monarchy which means they almost always need a leader, or someone who is in control. In my opinion, there wasn't that many aspects of the historical accuracy that really needed to be pointed out. Yes, history can be rewritten but in this story everything seems to fall in place correctly based on the Disney series movie Pocahontas.
