Terrence Malick's gorgeous historical drama that brings the story of Pocahontas to life
This singular vision of early seventeenth-century America from Terrence Malick is a work of astounding elemental beauty, a poetic meditation on nature, violence, love, and civilization. It reimagines the apocryphal story of the meeting of British explorer John Smith (Colin Farrell) and Powhatan native Pocahontas (Q’orianka Kilcher, in a revelatory performance) as a romantic idyll between spiritual equals, then follows Pocahontas as she marries John Rolfe (Christian Bale) and moves to England.
With production designer Jack Fisk’s raw re-creation of the Jamestown colony and Emmanuel Lubezki’s marvelous, naturally lit cinematography, The New World is a film of uncommon power and technical splendor, one that shows Malick at the height of his visual and philosophical powers.
Director-Approved Special Edition Features
- New 4K digital restoration of the 172-minute extended cut
- 135-minute theatrical cut and 150-minute first cut
- New interviews with actors
- New program about the making of the film
- And more

Pocahontas was played by the blissful Q'Orianka Kilcher so comely that it makes the heart ache. Her face blazes like Malick's beloved fire imagery clearer than his unrelenting blue skies. Her feverishly adorning form flows visceral through the landscape like a gazelle in slow motion, like the birds, the rippling water, and the animals in the forest, which, thanks to Mr. Malick's artistic eye, inhabit the film with her. She embodies "form and proportion" to delight the senses and radiates "wit and spirit", so astonishing was she that she "surprised" the sun whenever she came into his presence. Many torments visited upon her during the story all faced with a grace so touching and generosity so uplifting that her promise to herself to find "joy in all she sees" could be a mantra for anyone. A valid question could be how did Mr. Malick draw such a performance?
Mr. Malick definitely has something to say and he says it his own way in his own time. We can second guess his choices with every frame. His motives were no doubt artistic and anything worthy of such distinction is entitled to remove us from servile convention and to make us stretch and flex our imaginative muscles. I don't think he made any of his choices lightly but made his decisions resolutely founded upon a clear vision of the story he wanted to tell and the ideas and images he wanted to show us and affect us to think about. It is lamentable that he averages making a movie every seventeen years.
Mr. Malick's idea of a "special" effect is the natural light at dusk and dawn, God speaking through birdsong, a tear on the cheek reflected in firelight, fire itself, sunlight reflected through trees, birds in flight, deep blue skies, a water snake, a close up of the human ear. No obligatory explosions, no fake lighting or sets, no blue screens here, no over rehearsed acting but telling the story much through improvised movement and expression frequently, from what I understand, filmed when the actors didn't know he had the camera running. No excess, not a trace.
The dialogue is spare and poetic where thoughts sotto voce mingle with what is spoken aloud. When Pocahontas spoke the last time with her uncle in the English gardens, we have the rare privilege of experiencing a conversation in the Algonquin language which articulated a surreal, musical atmosphere. Her last words to Smith, this time in English, fell touchingly like loving teardrops: "Did you find your Indie's, John?" Smith's Reply: "I may have sailed right past them." Their time together in the Virginia woodlands was dreamlike and when recalled in those last few moments they spent together, language wasn't enough to give expression to their memories, across the expanse of time. To recreate such moments, and achieve such an affect through some indescribable medium, where all of the elements of film converge, is why we need people like Terrence Malick.
This work is an elegy, one for Pocahontas and the way of life that that for her was decimated. The final few images gently reveal what was lost in her passing; an empty family bed, an Indian spirit guide, a gravestone, a joyous final cartwheel across the grass(in dreams, in death, or real?) accompanied by a soundtrack laced with Wagnerian flourishes. The final image is a visual symphony of river rapids wherein suddenly the music ends and we are left with pure sound; water rolling over rocks for a few suspended moments. This is the music that we lost, the natural music that symbolically died; Pocahontas, our "little wanton," our "playful one" and the way of life she lost, her vanished wildness. "All things die".
Poetry is not for everyone nor is classical music. If modern film making had a parallel to the more elevated, less commercial, art forms that aren't as accessible to the modern, for profit tastes, this would be it or at least its beginnings. All honor to you.

As someone who loved the original Disney princess film i always wished for a live action adaption, and this is the closest thing to that. The extended cut is one of the most profoundly beautiful pieces of cinema i have ever witnessed. Its tragic, beautiful, emotional, and heartbreaking. The actress is absolutely breathtaking and does a phenomenal job at making the audience fall head over heels in love with her. The film delivers on a romanticized, yet tragic story of Pocahontas, the beauty and loss of our connection with nature, and creates a magnificent and emotional journey.
I must recommend the extended cut of the film though. There are 3 versions here, but the extended cut is a thing of beauty. The theatrical cut loses 35 minutes of much needed footage, and in doing so loses much of the heart and soul of the film. Had i initially seen the theatrical cut first i honestly wouldnt have cared for the movie. The extended cut however is one of the best experiences i have ever had with a film. Just a wonderful experience, one that all people should see. If the story of Pocahontas intrigues you at all, watch this film, you wont be disappointed.
Per quanto riguarda la storia, è una personale visione della "favola" di Pocahontas e, tra nozioni e ricostruzioni storiche vere (basta cercare sul web per capire l'accuratezza) il regista Terrence Malick (La sottile linea rossa, To The wonder, tra gli altri film) vuole far capire, a chi vede il film, di come avvenne la genesi delle prima Colonie inglesi nel Nuovo Mondo. Il contatto con popolazioni cosiddette "primitive", i tanti "approcci" fatti di sguardi, di silenzi, di tentiativi certe volte non conciliati (ovvio che nè gli inglesi avevano mai visto queste popolazioni, e viceversa).
Chi si aspetta azione, avventura e dramma vista dalla "massa" di spettatori rimarrà deluso. Terrence Malick è un poeta dell'immagine, dei silenzi, dei suoni naturali. C'è tutto in questo film, ma scorre lento perchè il tempo è visto da chi è vissuto nel XVII secolo (il protagonista impersonato da Colin Farrell), e ancor più lento è il tempo dei Nativi, le popolazioni che abitarono il Nuovo Mondo millenni prima dei "bianchi". La differenza sta proprio in questo: le popolazioni autoctone sono lì da secoli immemori, sanno come sopravvivere, mentre i bianchi tentano di popolare questa terra selvaggia a forza di stenti, malattie e violenze perpetuate nei confronti dei "locali".
In definitiva, sconsigliato a chi non ha pazienza nel visualizzare immagini, pochi dialoghi e molti suoni. Inutile recensire un film se non sapete nemmeno di cosa si tratta!
