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.

| + | I have to agree with Kellye, I really liked the Disney movie even if its not very factual. Its still a fun movie to sit and watch on occassion... even though its not all correct by far... a person can get an extremely generic storyline... either way, I've always enjoyed the musical animated movies anyways >.< I'm such a sucker for 'em. --Ashley Wilkins | ||
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. Also, why do you think Disney chose to make Ratcliffe "the governor" when in Smith's account he was one of the captains? --Kelly Wuyscik | Well, Kellye, that's what Disney's good for.
