Just like Thin Red Line, there is a soft, gorgeous, poetic voice-over narrative that tells the story. This helps the movie because an important part of the movie involves the misunderstanding between English and Indian languages.
It's a wonderful love story. It answers the question all young girls have when they first hear that story from their 3rd grade teacher: "Why did Pocahontas save John Smith's life, and why did she marry someone else instead of him?" The major parts were played very well. The voice-over narrative was a little too similar to Thin Red Line's..."Who are you. Who am I?" That kind of stuff. But if you suspend your disbelief, it adds to the artistry of it.
