When I recorded this I had low expectations. I didn't now how good of a job National Geographic would do with a movie, but I decided to watch it just because I love anything historical. The movie is chock full of really good actors who all do a great job. There is a lot of tension between the English and natives that feels real. Even though we all know how this story ends there is a lot of suspense. I got worried when things seemed to go against the pilgrims and it seemed like the natives would attack them. I also cheered when the Pilgrims were victorious over their enemies. I don't know how accurate this movie was, but it felt like they were trying to be accurate, and if it is accurate, I feel like I learned something. This movie did what a good historical film should do, and that is really give you a feeling for what it must have felt like to be in that place at that time. On this score, the movie was excellent. I highly recommend this movie.
