Strangest movie I’ve seen in recent history. The movie completely abandons standard elements of movie-making such as plot, dialogue, pacing… instead there are just a series of images and music that tell the story of John Smith and Pocahontas falling in love (lots of long shots of faces, shots of running through fields, and so on). The music very much mirrored the imagery, with the main theme being a single measure that was repeated over and over again at different volumes and with different instruments. I will admit that it was extremely beautiful, but its beauty was so static and unchanging that it could not hold my attention for the entire 2 1/2 hours.
