About this episode
Terrence Malick gives us "The New World", a visual epic of the story of America, but in a romance between John Smith and Pocahontas. It's a really good film depicting the settlement of Jamestown in what is know as Virgina at the time. We see how it goes down, how love can be new and destructive to someone and how it navigates they way order and growth goes. I enjoy this film for its simple but poetic plot. We just don't see Native Americans fighting for theirs against the Jamestown people, we see how actions and decision are laid about. We see how emotions unheard of are formed and how it really shapes people into how we know them by. Malick, you can see that he really put himself in this film by the shots we see. We see how things came to be and it goes across to what I'm typing at this moment. And this film came out over 20 years ago. It's still fresh and very consistent to his work.
