The importance of mastering multiple languages

If I were to classify, I would put Pocahontas and Snow White and Cinderella in the same category. These three films are named after the heroine, which is enough to reflect the importance of the heroine in this film.

The heroine's tribe was invaded by outsiders. This was inseparable from the gold rush in the society at that time. Everyone wanted to dig gold to make a fortune, no matter how the aborigines lived here. In short, those who stand in my way will die. . This has something to do with the West's aggression and expansion by force, occupying the mountains as kings, and because of its small size, it has to continue to colonize other places to help the local economy.

This story can’t be played out in China at all. Thinking of Zheng He’s voyages to the West and constantly sending money to small neighboring countries, who would want to dig your gold, our own gold is too much to count.

In the play, what impresses me the most is that the heroine meets a foreigner for the first time, but she can speak fluent English. Although the tribe also speaks English in the movie, it is to help the audience better understand the development of the plot. The tribe should really speak the indigenous language. Because the heroine speaks fluent English, the scenes with the hero are more romantic and touching. Otherwise, a bunch of chickens and ducks will talk to each other, and you really don't know what you mean for a long time. Even in the end, the two sides could stop the war because the heroine took the initiative to solve the problem.

In the end, the male and female protagonists embraced each other and kissed each other, which moved people. These days, there are still large-scale protests about black life matter, but as early as decades ago, there was love across skin color and race. Black hair and black skin can also love with blond hair and yellow skin so much that they will always be by your side. Of course, Granny Willow is an absolute god, and all kinds of gods assist. Although it is not a happy ending, it is acceptable. I believe they will end up in the end. They will still be together, the male lead has a better chance of coming back than the female lead going to London.

ps Now the various preferential policies of the United States for the aborigines are also to make up for the mistakes or guilt made by the colonial expansion that year, and their ancestors will also feel relieved.

    The look and feel is not bad, and the production quality of Disney is maintained, but it involves the bloody history of colonial aggression and racial conflicts, and also comes up with sweet stories of coaxing children to sleep, which is really inappropriate.

    The solution to this conflict is too simple... The heroine's betrothal partner just received the lunch box so conveniently, and as a result, no one avenged him//After hearing the true story of the heroine's archetype from a friend, I couldn't look directly at the film , the history of blood and tears of white people's invasion of Indians is so downplayed by love&peace, it really shouldn't be

Pocahontas quotes

  • Governor Ratcliffe: [after witnessing Thomas' lack of proficiency in using a rifle] Learn to use that thing properly. A man's not a man unless he knows how to shoot.

  • Governor Ratcliffe: Gentlemen, to work! You men, get the ship unloaded. You men, build the fort. The rest of you, break up the shovels. It's time to start digging.

    BenLon: [both] Digging?

    Governor Ratcliffe: Why, of course. Let's not forget what the Spanish found when they came to the New World. Gold! Mountains of it. Why, for years they've been ravaging the New World of its most precious resources. But now it's our turn.
