The New World review

Rating: 5/10 (30 August 2018)

I watched this movie for my U.S History Through Film class. Now I´m reviewing for the same reason. The film was about this guy John Smith who traveled with some crew into the new world to establish a new colony. During the film he meets this girl named Pocahantus. They hang out for a couple years then John Smith leaves. Then it just shows the life of Pocahantus afterwards. I question Pocahantus being 14 in the film. I question her ever seeing John Smith after he took off. I also question the Indians being so accepting of John Smith when he came to the new world for the first time. There are no connections to any other movies I´ve seen. I like the scenery as well as the people when they actually talked. I like the time period the film takes place in. I also like to see Pocahantus develop as a person. I didn´t like how the characters rarely talked it made the film boring. In conclusion, I can see what this movie was going for but it didn´t work. It ended up being too boring. they didn´t do enough with what they had to work with. They mostly just showed off the scenery and had the characters just mumble a lot. But when they did actually communicate and got the story moving along it was good. So there you have it my review for The New World
