Revisiting Pocahontas

Can you paint with all the colors of the wind with Pocahontas (1995)

Summary: Pocahontas is the daughter of a Native American Indian Chief that expects her to follow Indian customs but Pocahontas feel theres more to life just around the river bend - I did it again. Anyway, Pocahontas is then introduce to the English Colonist John Smith whom both start to have romantic feelings for one another and begin to deal with the struggling acceptance from both the Indians and Colonists.

This movie was deep, as a child I didn't understand most of things that were happening but I did grasp the concempt of racism and the distruction of land. Pocahontas showed open mindedness, patience, and tolerance to all things as well as John Smith's blindness to his forceful ways and teaching him that we as people are all created equally. The music was really good, very cultural and in depth with the Native American culture while channeling earthy feelings about taking care of our land and treating everything and everyone with respect. This movie did show the reality of the whole Engish Colonist taking over and discriminating the Native Americans from their land. The movie sent a good message about how it doesn't matter what you are or what your skin color is, treat everyone as an equal and the world can be a better place. The one thing as a kid that didn't like was the whole John Smith and John Ralph thing, in my mind I portrayed Pocahontas as a slut! But the whole John Smith and Pocahontas relationship was a child's first favorite "celebrity" couple and when they actually broke up it was shocking, its like the equivalent of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse breaking up and then Mickey ends up with Daisy. I was very disappointed as a kid because it was the first time understanding that all couples don't last and that your first boyfriend isn't your last. You go Pocahontas! 

I love pugs! 

They're both named John, so as a kid I thought they were the same guy.
