Pocahontas Is So Underrated!

I think Pocahontas is the best disney original ever. I was so mad when I found out it has the lowest rating among other disney movies. It's mature and realistic (has a rational ending), the message was one of the most powerful, the music's good, and didn't overdo or lose its humor. So what if the movie is "historically inaccurate"? It's a disney movie for god's sake, what do you expect? A movie for kids, rated U, the reality was rather gruesome and inappropriate, don't these at least ring a bell? And what movie is ever "accurate" to its real event?

I can not say I liked this movie when I was a child either, I only watched half of it because to me it was the weirdest disney ever (what disney movie sang about war for very long minutes instead of about boys or wicked woman?) and it just bored me right away. But now I can relate to her so much while watching it. I love especially the moments when she was singing around the river bend, colors of the wind, the song "savages", the moment when she stood up and made the best speech ever, and the good bye part which is very saadd. If you're looking for a perfect princess in a beautiful dress with lots of magics and a feel-good ending, you won't find it here. Instead, you will find a different princess with dreams and courage who wanted to change the world. You will see love (not the spoiled-teenage-girls-kind-of-love) and self-sacrifice. You will see the problem of this world, from race, war, stereotyping, ignorancy, miscommunication, narrow-minds, desire of power, and man's blindness to others' despair packed in a light and simple way. But most of all, you will learn to find your heart, speak with your inner self, and listen to the sound around you. So yeah, I think pocahontas is one of Disney's maturest movie ever.
