disordered film

Rating: 5/10 (26 March 2006)

if only see the name 'the new world' I will think it's fictional film. On the contrary it's about past(a story about clash between Native Americans and English settlers in the 17th century) The monologue of the leading actor and actress wholly take up the movie(it's be perfect in this film). When the first and only big battle scene, there comes the monologue of the actor 'Lord,turn other way of your face. You desire not a dead sinner.'That touches me a lot. But what make the film disordered one is bellowing when director hasn't show us a detail cultural clash he turn to describe a common different race's love story. Finally, director makes the local girl civilized. That's all reasonable.But it seem director want to show us more mean beyond the common modern style. He always let the girl ask her mother in heart to find her way. At the last scene, Director tell us she ultimately get it. But tell me where? She finally decide who is her true lover between the two guys? The son will merge two culture? As she said everything will die expect her son? I really get mixed. There is no deny the a perfect marriage of sound effects, music and visuals as the film nowadays. But unfortunate, director doesn't get a clear way to show the exact subject.
So 5 of 10 is what I voted.
