aleathielScript review for The New World (See previous post) fills me with hope.
Smith made into more of a hero was inevitable - hell they cast Mr Farrell, didn't they - but to be honest the romantic in me is glad about that. I'm glad he's a rascal and not a straightforward hero though.
The bit about the indians ♥ God I hope so. I want to see a more realistic portrayal of their concerns and of their inter-tribal relationships. Please please.
And the mention of the ending. I hardly dared hope. But Pocahontas married to John Rolfe and meeting John Smith again in England? Her more powerful than he could hope and still an ideal in his eyes? ♥ ♥ Yes, just yes. I was so so so afraid we were going to get a tidied up version and this makes me hope that we might just get a romanticised version of a fairly accurate account. and yeah, I go to the cinema for a story, slight romanticism is fine
