What to make of Terence Mallick movies? He made "The Thin Red Line" a WWII movie that was a combination of meditation and war movie. It was poetic, was full of amazing imagery and amzing moments, including an unforgettable scene of a soldier receiving a "Dear John" letter form his girlfriend that is truly heartbreaking. But the movie was kind of pretentious and boring. Well, this one is the same way. There's much poetry in this movie about the story of John Smith and Pocahontas. There's amazing imagery. In fact, a critic said that you could freeze any moment in this movie and you could frame it and hang it on the wall as a work of art. But then it also pretentious and boring full of voiceovers mumbled by Colin Farrell. So what do I feel about it? Mixed feelings. One of those movies that is more interesting to watch than entertaining. One of those movies you have to be in the mood for.But one of those movies with scenes that stay with you.
