	Pocahontas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pocahontas is said to have stopped her father from executing colonialist John Smith in the year 1607.
		In 1612, Pocahontas was captured and held hostage by the Jamestown colonists, in the hope that they could ransom her for the release of some of their own people held in captivity by Pocahontas' tribe.
		Pocahontas was the namesake for one of the richest seams of bituminous coal ever found in Virginia and West Virginia, and the Pocahontas Land Company, a subsidiary of the Norfolk and Western Railway.

	Review: Pocahontas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In reality, Pocahontas was a 12-year old Powhatan girl who never had a romance with English settler John Smith (although she later married John Rolfe, the man famous for bringing tobacco back to England).
		Pocahontas presents a fictionalized chronicle of the arrival of English settlers in Virginia.
		Meanwhile, a young native woman, Pocahontas (speaking voice of Irene Bedard, who was also the physical model for the character; singing voice of Judy Kuhn), observes the newcomers with a mixture of curiosity and trepidation.

		Pocahontas is the better picture, for the Disney craftsmen are too professional to ignore altogether the demands of plot, characterization, and visualization.
		Pocahontas sometimes partakes of this magic, as when the princess sees the sails of John Smith's ship as very strange clouds and the Disney artists show us just why she makes the mistake.
		And there is a delightful moment (perhaps the best in the movie) when Wiggins, the daffy hairstylist-manservant of the villainous colonial governor, in an excess of designing fury, turns a sizable part of the forest primeval into topiary.

	The Pocahontas Myth - Powhatan Renape Nation - the real story, not Disney's Distortion
		Most scholars think the "Pocahontas incident" would have been highly unlikely, especially since it was part of a longer account used as justification to wage war on Powhatan's Nation.
		In 1612, at the age of 17, Pocahontas was treacherously taken prisoner by the English while she was on a social visit, and was held hostage at Jamestown for over a year.
		During Pocahontas' generation, Powhatan's people were decimated and dispersed and their lands were taken over.

		And although Pocahontas is and was the point where the schizm occurred, in retrospect, it's a pretty damned good movie.
		Pocahontas, following on the heels of this bad boy, was not going to live up to expectations.
		While Pocahontas didn't have the grand ending that the Lion King had (it was a downer, remember?), the story bucks tradition by making it about people instead of animals, and its' message outweighs the "historically inaccurate" complaint.

	Pocahontas Movie Review
		I believe Pocahontas herself would have said that 'grading or comparing the movie is like chaining an eagle: you can do it, and it makes the eagle easier to look at, but robs the creature of its spirit and dignity.
		It is about the Pocahontas in all of us, the restless spirit who longs to bridge the chasm between what is right, and what should be right (but it not), the Powhatan in us who clings to what is familiar, and the John Smith who would like to gain the new without losing the old.
		It truly deserves the name of POCAHONTAS, for it is less of the legendary romance between John Smith and Pocahontas, and more of one young woman's fight to save all that she loves while still changing with her changing world.

		Pocahontas not only includes that message, but it expands on that by including the forest, in Grandmother Willow, it incorporates fire and smoke, the wind is definitely a part, and with them all interacting with the human being, the message children have is nothing but wholesome.
		And Pocahontas proves out to be wiser than the wise man, wiser than her father, and stops a war.
		Also, the movie doesn't mention the fact that Pocahontas was later taken prisoner by the English and held for ransom.

		This is exactly what mariners would be using at the time, as the wheellock was too delicate and expensive and the snaphaunce (forerunner of the flintlock) was still too new and unreliable for general use.
		Originally, the animal characters in "Pocahontas" were going to have human voices and Pocahontas originally had a turkey named Redfeather as a companion.
		Both the Turkey and the voices were dropped when the directors of "Pocahontas" went to the rule of "Silence is Golden" for animal characters.

		His goal is plain enough: to affectively and honestly portray the love Pocahontas experienced in those first years that Europeans cut their first, fresh swath from the New World.
		The first and most important of Pocahontas' (Q'Orianka Kilcher) romances is with the infamous John Smith (Colin Farrell).
		These scenes of first encounter are shot in windswept, overgrown grassy fields, with Pocahontas dancing and twirling about them with her brother, catching the spry interest of Smith.

	"Pocahontas" H-Net Movie Review
		That is to say, the animated Pocahontas is necessarily located within the entire colonial tradition of noble savagism: the natural virtues, cultural critique, and self-sacrifice she embodies are those found in Montaigne and Rousseau and Cooper and Kirkpatrick Sale.
		Disney's Pocahontas is not a cultural interpreter but first and foremost a "child of nature"--an unfortunate impoverishment that produces a truly awkward moment in the film.
		That "Pocahontas" is rife with tensions and ironies is also a testimony to the limitations of serious cultural critique in an artistic environment devoted to the marketing of dreams.

	PEACE PARTY - Author's Forum
		Also, the movie promotes the Disney ideal that fulfilment comes through being in love, and that a woman's primary goal is to be married.
		Quite in contrast, the marriage between Pocahontas and Rolfe is less sensational because it was legalised: she was baptized, educated and therefore was a full member of the Jamestown community.
		Pocahontas, highly romanticized by him, is a heroic and virtuous character, her features are in accordance with white standards.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: Pocahontas
		In real life, Pocahontas was an Algonquin Indian who is said to have prevented the execution of colonist John Smith in 1607 by her father when she was only 12 years old.
		In thanks, Pocahontas was later captured by settlers at Jamestown, taught English, and taken to England where she was celebrated as an "Indian princess" and married off.
		In Disney's movie, Pocahontas (Irene Bedard's voice) is a nubile teen who romances John Smith (who arrives via ship with a Governer in tow), can speak to racoons and trees, and prevents a wholesale war between the British settlers and the Indian tribe.

		The movie may not be as good as "Mulan" though for a Disney movie based on a legend, but it's still a must have for every animation collector's DVD library, this movie is guaranteed to make the viewer cry and laugh then have fun.
		Pocahontas is a strong woman, not afraid to stand up to her father, although I am disappointed she didn't go to England with John.
		The animals in the movie were cute and entertaining for the youngsters; but the story itself is for adults and was beautifully told in a Disney kind-of-magical-way.

	MMI Review: "Pocahontas" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		A chick movie means no lines around the block after the first weekend, no five-year-merchandising plans and no compulsive filmgoers who will see it umpteen times and word-of-mouth it to anyone who can stand to listen to them recite the plot verbatim.
		Pocahontas is a chick, she's real and she's Native American, a group that has been maligned beyond recognition by virtually every movie studio for the century, including Disney.
		But its heroine is gutsy and resourceful, none of her little animal friends talk and the English settlers, for a change are shown as the opportunistic greenhorns they were.
