Title: Had somebody else directed, it would've had potential
Product review: The cinematography, costumes, sets, and the acting for this film is top quality. I love historical movies and I was expecting a lot from this one which deals with the early English settlement in Virginia and the encounters with the native Indians, particularly Pocahontas and her tribe. The problem with this movie which overall greatly ruins it is the artsy fartsy artschool dream sequences which make up a large portion of the movie...maybe if I was a dope smoker (or 10 years ago) I'd really dig this one but obviously there's a reason why this movie bombed at the box office while others of similar historical nature such as Braveheart, Gladiator, The Patriot, etc. were huge and have remained classic films...artschool tactics and dream sequences bore most people to tears.
