Negative Positive
Title: Not realistic
Review: This film couldn't have been any less realistic. Not only does it take an event in history and insult the hell out of it, but it makes it into a film with horrible songs. Not that I don't like musicals, cause I do, but the fact is the songs are weak in every possible area.Pocahontas, a young beautiful indian princess (who, in reality was about 12, and really ugly at that) falls in love with Captain John Smith. From that point on, it's a total WEST SIDE STORY cheap imitation. Of course, there's the climactic scene in which Pocahontas "saves" Smith's life, although historians now believe that may have been part of a Native American ritual.This film is Diseny's apology for all those Native American stereotypes, in which all indians dance around like schmucks and say things like "How, White Man!" The film is based on all those myths that grade-schoolers are taught to believe. Nice try, Dis, but you should really know better.
