***^ Pocahontas (1995): This movie portrays the conflict between two
cultures. It has the wicked colonists who are seeking freedom; and
gold. It also shows the people of Pocahontas, who are in perfect
harmony with nature and the earth, even though they have their own
conflicts between peoples. Mel Gibson gives voice to John Smith, and
Irene Bedard to Pocahontas. Judy Kuhn provides the vocals for
Pocahontas. David Ogden Stiers is the gold-seeking governor.
Pocahontas is coming to a crossroads in her life, and has to decide
whether or not to marry Kocoum, the warrior. She consults the willow
tree to get direction.
The best part of this show is the meeting of John Smith and
Pocahontas in the mist of the waterfall, and the relationship that
follows. Another highlight is "Colors of the Wind:"
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
A beautiful song.
