    Default The New World

    This is a new movie coming out starring Colin Farrell. Its about Captain Smith and Pocahantis as far as I can make out. It was released on Chritmas but I never heard anything about it. Looks quite interesting

    IIRC Smith was a big bear of an man with ginger hair. None of those actors seem to fit the bill......

    So no reviews? I'm hoping it's not one of those tacky PC movies (again).

    It's a Terrence Malick movie, thats why we heard nothing about it. He doesn't do interviews and lives in secrecy.
    I really like Terrence Malick movies. I really really liked the Thin Red Line. What I'm curious about here is how they will deal with the issue that Pocahontas was, like, 13 years old or something and getting boinked by a grown man. The girl playing her is 15.

    I also hope there are lots of boobies in the film, but not 15 year old boobies because that would be illegal. Imagine being a cracker and looking at fat euro chics all your life then rolling up in a boat and being greeted by a bunch of topless little brown sisters, imagine how excited those guys must have been. I bet a bunch of them thought the males in loinclothes were hot, too.

    Having lived remotely near the site of Pocahontas, I find this film offending, and the portrayl of Colin Farrell terrible. I also dislike the entire movie.
    However, if it brings money to Virginia, then I'm okay with it.

    Have you just been dumped?

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

    As I understand it the current, vehement taboo against relations with adolescent girls is more of a modern thing... Shakespeare at the least seems to think that 14 was a more than appropriate age for love and for marriage... (Juliet)...

    The age of consent in Canada is 14. 11, though...I honestly wonder if the girl was developed enough at that age to attract a grown man with anything other than...ahem...innocence.

    Ya I saw the trailer. I thought it was Hernan Cortez at first lol.

    The age thing, didn't Brooke Shield went nude back in the days when she was 16 or something?

    Things are different when you might be die of a random infection/illness/childbirth at any minute.

    I'm sure after however long on a boat full of male sailors, practically any female looked good. Still, 11? Something wrong there.

    Malick also did The Thin Red Line. I liked it, but it wasn't everyone's cup of tea.

    The New World has been getting quite good reviews. Both Ebert and Roeper gave it a big thumbs up, and I think it made one of their top 10 of the year lists.

    Malick movies are strange and different, so unless he does something idiotic with the storyline I think I will like this. The critics haven't been kind to it though, see for yourself http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/new_world/
    Not surprised though.

    Kind of funny reading the reviews posted above. I guess with the MTV-PSP-everyone has a video camera culture, that cinematography, set design, costume, original score etc just doesnt matter anymore. Everyone wants blood, guts, tits and fart jokes and it better all come in 1 hr 30 mins or people will get bored.

    So is there some new style rule that epics (well movies longer then 90 minutes perhaps) now have to have dark posters with gold lettering...
