I know that it is really unrealistic and not factual but I like the movie Pocahontas better than the real story. The real story just seems so depressing. -- Kellye Sorber | I know that it is really unrealistic and not factual but I like the movie Pocahontas better than the real story.

| + | Well, Kellye, that's what Disney's good for. The movie version of the story is pretty far-fetched that it makes me wonder how many kids took this for truth once they saw the movie and how many parents didn't realize how innacurate it was. I know I was shocked to learn that Pocahontas and John Smith were not really together and that another man entirely was involved (talking about Rolfe here.) And regardless of how many times I've seen the movie, I still can't believe there wasn't a single mention of John Rolfe, anywhere. --Kelly Wuyscik | ||
I read John Smith's journal before watching Pocahontas for this class and I was amazed at how much I picked up on. While I was watching the movie I had the tendency to think well that's not what John said happens. I know his journal is not totally reliable but it does provide an interesting foil for the movie. - Christine W. | I read John Smith's journal before watching Pocahontas for this class and I was amazed at how much I picked up on.
