    Movies are made to be sold and not history to be perfectly told. If movies include a complete history‚ it wouldn’t be known as a movie anymore. However‚ it would be called a documentary‚ which most people get fed up of. So interpretations‚ exaggerations and idealistic scenes are added to the movie to make it more interesting for the audience.

    The issue in Disney’s Pocahontas Movie is that there are arguments of whether the movie is responsible‚ accurate‚ and respectful or not.

Furthermore when enlightening your children with false evidence they are most likely going to go throughout life with that false mentality. In the description of Pocahontas the only truth we know is ”In 1995‚ Disney released an artistically beautiful animated film showing the supposed events that unfolded between John Smith and Pocahontas.” Nowhere in the story does it say that Pocahontas was
