The final outcome of this work can be said to be a complete denial of Disney's previous work: at the beginning Pocahontas heard the news that John Smith had died. Because of the mission of preventing the two sides from fighting, Pocahontas went to London to negotiate with the King of England. This time she was accompanied by another white man, John Rolfe (John Rolfe). In the end, Pocahontas accidentally met John Smith, who was rumored to have died before, in London, but at this time Pocahontas found that John Smith was not the right character for him, so he chose the one who was willing to accompany her back to America. Rolf.
The happy ending in my mind is that John Smith comes to America again to find Pocahontas, and the saddest ending is that at least one of the two dies, but Disney gave such a special ending. Despite some comments, John Smith doesn't seem like the right person for Pocahontas in the first place. But I can point out that this is because of his performance in the second part that makes people feel that way, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the original depiction of John Smith in the previous film. Disney can completely shape John Smith as an ideal candidate. Disney has a lot of room for the shaping of this character, so what kind of character John Smith is in the sequel is entirely up to Disney. Think of the male protagonist in "Avatar", and it seems that Disney did not intend to portray John Smith as Jack Sully.
Because I used to dislike the behavior of some games forcibly modifying the settings of the previous game in the sequel, this time I can't tolerate Disney's behavior of denying the previous game. After all, although the ending of the previous work was regrettable, it left a beautiful space for reverie. Although this ending seems perfect, it is a fall, and if this ending setting continues, it is not a good thing.
If you don't consider the previous work, this work is still remarkable. This time Pocahontas is carrying a heavier mission than the last time, and the risk of her actions this time is also greater than the last time. The captain this time became a veritable evil villain. When he saw John Smith falling into the water, he announced his death, and then designed a ball to lure Pocahontas into the bait. He took the opportunity to catch Pocahontas and use this As an excuse to start a war with the Indians, fortunately, he was finally stopped at the last minute, and in the end he could not escape the fate of being caught. This kind of plot is inferior to its predecessor in novelty. Although the soundtrack of this film is not as deeply rooted as the previous one, it is also more pleasant. Unlike the previous work, which mainly depicts the natural scenery and Indian tribes of North America, this work mainly depicts the 17th century London city and the gorgeous decoration of the British Royal Palace, which gives people a completely different feeling from the previous work.
I heard that Disney made this work because the previous work was accused of being unfaithful to the historical facts, but some foreign comments pointed out that this work is not more faithful to the historical facts than the previous work (Disney really thought that Pocahontas and a man named John Rolfe made this work) Is the marriage of the person "faithful to historical facts"?), which makes this work a double failure in both the plot and the setting. Consider putting aside the previous work, this work still has a certain meaning, and I still give this evaluation. It is recommended that those who have watched the first part should never watch the second part, and completely ignore this work; and if you have watched the second part first, then don't watch the first part.
PS: One thing can be assured, if Disney wants to come back for the third film, Pocahontas will definitely not change lovers again. After all, according to Disney's standards, this is "historical". And I guess if there is a third part, it will most likely be about the aftermath of Pocahontas and John Rolfe having a baby, but now it seems that since the second part is more scolded than the first, A sequel is unlikely.
