    One of the many speculations of Townsend that I believed in is her theory that one of the possible reasons why Powhatan sent Pocahontas to Jamestown to try to secure Namontack’s release‚ an Indian who were held in captive by John Smith and his people‚ was because Pocahontas was probably the best translator available. Pocahontas was probably able to know the basics of the English’s language growing up since the English has been coming to their town way before she was born. She also learned more from

    seems to be a lot of disconnect between the Disney version of the Pocahontas/Smith relationship vs. what we know about the “real” Pocahontas because of numerous protests that procured when the Disney movie came out. The Disney version of the story puts the relationship in good light and doesn’t seem to depict some of the brutality that was going on between the two groups. I have reason to believe that the relationship between Pocahontas and Captain Smith was not any where near as “romantic” as what

    (Cameron‚ 2009). When comparing James Cameron’s Avatar with Walt Disney’s Pocahontas‚ you may find several similarities in the movies; but don’t be fooled‚ because it is the differences of these two movies that sets them so widely apart‚ rather than the similarities that supposedly bring them together. Many people seem to have the opinion that Avatar is just a futuristic‚ visually stunning version of Walt Disney’s Pocahontas but in reality‚ they are nothing alike as they have two entirely different

    History of the Americas Rafia Islam Pocahontas Movie Critique The movie "Pocahontas" was released in 1995 by Disney for the sake of entertainment for little kids and their families. However‚ like many other Disney movies‚ people from all different age groups turned to this movie for entertainment.

    Film Analysis: Pocahontas The animated Walt Disney movie Pocahontas is based on a true life story of a young Powhatan Indian girl named Pocahontas who falls in love with John Smith. In the making of the movie‚ Walt Disney‚ attempts to relate to the early 17th Century historic event of Europeans settling in Jamestown; however‚ Disney did not portrait the true story. Disney rewrote the story by making it a beautifully romantic and animated love story like a Cinderella fairytale. In the Walt Disney

    I’ve known about Pocahontas ever since I was a little girl. I used to sit in front of the TV and watch it over and over again until I finally got bored. I think the directors‚ Eric Goldberg and Mike Gabriel‚ did a wonderful job on putting this movie together. Pocahontas is a Disney animated film about romance between a young American Indian woman‚ Pocahontas‚ (Irene Bedard) and Capt. John Smith (Mel Gibson)‚ who journeyed to the New World with other settlers to begin fresh lives. Her father‚ Chief

    Disney’s Pocahontas has a storyline‚ which disregards many elements from the actual history. Disney is also known to apply its own values‚ morals and themes to existing materials. This tendency can be further analyzed when we look deep into what exactly has been “Disneyficated” in the story of Pocahontas. Pochahontas’ Americanized image‚ “sanitizing” of Pochahontas’ age-controversial relationship with John Smith and the exceptional display of non-submissive female traits. Native Americans have
