There are so many things you don't know

In fact, the live-action version of "Pocahontas" is more easily accepted by people. When I first watched it, because there were no subtitles, I was impatiently fast-forwarding and jumping to the wilderness. , language, in such a half-height grass, I don't think this is a movie at all.

Later, after looking carefully from the beginning and gradually entering the picture, I felt a kind of tranquil and relaxing beauty, just as people set foot on the North American continent for the first time, except for the wind blowing grass leaves and treetops, except for the occasional bird song, it was just silence. , The boat slowly reached the deep forest along the river, so primitive that I could not feel that I was a modern person. You can follow the natives to learn what describes sunlight and what describes water, and you can follow Pocahontas to bounce between the trees and grass. They accept the arrival of aliens, but they don't accept the corn seeds that have been stolen. Why should a tribe with such a natural and vivid nature pursue a modern life. Although there are a few ancient sailboats in the picture, which is what I like, it is completely different from other movies with ancient sailboats. The appearance of the ship is also a quiet scene, even if you can make a big move, in front of the new continent, it is still only silent.

Do you feel that the plot is protracted, long, with the soothing music, the rhythm is single, but it is deliberately prolonged, a little bit of emphasis, in order to let you follow the picture, step by step to the depths of the jungle . Some people describe the rhythm as moving forward like a snail, and like from beginning to end, you are in a boat, drifting aimlessly along the river, you don't even need to care about the plot, only care that such a primitive paradise has been preserved, if you I feel that I have been repressed and impetuous in the modern fast-paced life. You can take a look at it quietly. It will be precipitated and the restlessness will be eliminated, but it will be a little long. Don't fall asleep. It wasn't until at last that you followed Pocahontas to the reign of King Jaime I, as if you had just finished a long vacation trip, a dream trip, and there were so many things you didn't understand:

what do you think I am a savage, ignorant and ignorant.
You've been to many places and looked at the world.
But I still wonder, if the wild man is me.
Why are there so many things you don't understand, so many things.

    Pocahontas: Mother, now I know where you live.

    John Rolfe: [reading letter] "13th of April, 1616. Dear son, I write this so that someday in the future you might understand a circumstance which shall be but a far memory to you. Your dear mother, Rebecca, fell ill in our outward passage at Gravesend. She gently reminded me that all must die. 'Tis enough, she said, that you our child, should live.'"

  • Mary: He's left you, Princess. He told you a pack of lies. Forget about him.
