The new world
Saturday, August 5, 2006 ★ 17:01 ★ Category Films
Once again a film about the Pocahontas legend. The New World is an Americanesque film (not my favourite). It happened to show in my local arthouse cinema, otherwise I wouldn’t have bothered…
The main theme of the score is Mozart’s Symphony No. 23, which was written in 1773. The story itself played around 1600, which annoyed me quite a bit. The film itself wasn’t ‘antropologisch verantwoord’ (‘anthropologically correct’, quoting my girlfriend) either, portraying the natives as stupid people not knowing concepts like ‘love’, ‘faith’ and ‘dignity’. Once again, I don’t like American films…
