  • I prefere the disney version.

  • Terrence Malick is a genius! Nothing less and nothing more!

  • im watching it on my tv right now, very lovely movie.

  • Gorgeous, just gorgeous- and totally ROBBED of the best achievement in Cinematography oscar! Memoirs of a Geisha was a good movie but this was like unlike anything else!

  • @beccael21 Couldn't agree more brother; if Lubezki doesn't win the Oscar for "Tree of Life" this year, they might as well get rid of the award.

  • shortly after this beautiful moment, natives started to die from smallpox.

  • Just as I wish I had the same luck when I was 14?

  • YES, the most beautiful scene in The New World...though they are all beautiful scenes.

  • the girl is on the new neverland on syfy lol she still looks 15

  • in real life, she was about 14 or 15. if you going of the disney version (which i love btw), they made it more appropriate. that part of this movie is actually accurate.

  • The most beautiful scene is the end

  • reading 99% of these comments is so refreshing, aswell as this video. thanks guys.

  • the Indians had advanced dentistry

  • @S2Cents Actually, the teeth of hunter-gatherers are notoriously good. Not sure to what extent Native Americans were hunter-gatherers, though.

  • At 00:1 He is talking in CREE

  • At 00:1 He's is talking in CREE

  • Where was this filmed?

  • @Sketch02000 Virginia

  • The lead actress looks soooooooooooooo young...

  • @jetoftherock She was 15 at the time.

  • uhmm this is a sequence, not a scene you dumbasses

  • Any native american here?

  • Malick's films have always been beautiful, but I think the collaboration between Malick and Lubezki is on a whole other level. This and "The Tree of Life" are two of the most visually beautiful films ever made. Can't wait for their next film!

  • @Ashiman12 YES YES AND MORE YES

  • the whiteman always wants to show himself as a savior or someone decent. why won't they show the whiteman for the racist,savage,murderer,and devil that he really is. why won't they show that cracker devil murdering all the indians on the whole of the americas. because we all know that is history.

  • @Bravesfan4500 The whiteman unfortunately pays for the bulk of these movies XD It's money money money.

    Hey, at least they progressed from "native americans are all savages." I guess. Baby steps.

  • @Yidenia The whiteman is Esau according to the Bible. Moreover, the Native Americans are part of the original twelve tribes of Isreal. The Bible says the earth is given into the hands of the wicked. Furthermore, Esau (whiteman/socall Jew) would have the fatness of the earth. This are the reasons why the whiteman or Jew rules the earth today. In 2 Esdras it states Esau is the end of the world and Jacob (12 tribes of Isreal) is the beginning of the world to come. The scriputes explain everything.

  • John Smith nunca tuvo que irse hasta ahora no comprendo por que se fue? por que tuvo que dejarla ?

  • I wish she chose john smith instead =( i loved their chemistry but nooo she didnt ohh well she has a great story =)

  • music is absolutly magisc in this scene terence malick is a genious!!

  • Colin Farrell Does the best god damn smoulder

  • she was only 14!!!! and Colin Farrel was her first kiss, Christian Bale was her second....not a bad way to start ;)

  • Comment removed

  • This movie is a masterpiece . Terrence Malik's a genius ! This is so beautiful it left me speechless .

  • OMG, ......beautiful narration, cinematography and camera work.

  • This scene is ridiculously beautiful. This movie is in a league of it's own. The music, acting, and voice overs are done so poetically. I can't get enough of it. I want this movie to be in the background of my life. I have watched this clip probably 40 times. I know I'm a bit obsessed

  • i would watch terrence malick direct the birth of a turd....

  • i love how all he can think about is HER.

    the film really lets you get high off of all the feelings and emotions! =)

  • The ending scene made me cry. Mmm

  • Q'orianka was only 15 when this movie was made, Colin Farrel was 29..... Haha! Wonder how old she intends to play though, since the real Pocahontas was only 12-13 when she first met John Smith.....

    Love the movie though, even if it's not what really happened, it's truly great!

  • Hard to say which is the most beautiful scene ...

  • My favorite sequence is when he's going through the swamp in the suit of armor.

  • i cannot believe that this relationship between two people was real. This is real love, not that shitty stuff you see in films these days :) xxxxxx

  • looks like fucking avatar

  • he blinks too much

  • it does excuse the fact that the love and relationship between John Smith and Pocahontas is completely fictionalized...because this is FICTION!

  • ...Also STOP CONSIDERING THE DISNEY VERSION APART OF HISTORY. And stop believing what everything the history books in school tell that's just the glorified version of American history. Read books by many historians, then come to your own conclusions about the beginning of America, and whether 'Pocahontas' played as much a part as is perceived in movies.

  • Poetic? STILL does not excuse the fact that the love and relationship between John Smith and Pocahontas is completely fictionalized and she was a child when they first met at 10 or 11 years old. The relationship between her and John Rolfe however is true; which is why I skip to the last 1/3 of the movie. Nobody ever mentions the fact that Smith never loved 'Rebecca' that way and only thought of her as a child. She was never actually considered a 'princess' pop culture messed that up.

  • I don't get it.

  • I love this film, everytime I watch it my heart breaks. All the actors are amazing, the music so haunting, it's just a beautiful film

  • Native Americans have good plastic surgeons this film shows.

  • Colin Farrell is a really underrated actor. I've been a fan of his ever since first seeing him in 'Tigerland'. He's done a lot of crap Hollywood films but in films like this and 'In Bruges' he proves how naturalistic and versatile he can be.

  • Collin's a dead-ringer for a younger Malick here.

    If ever there was to be a biopic.....

  • The most beautiful scene in my opinion is the shot during the storm and just as the camera moves around her face, you see lightning strike on the left of the screen. 

  • This is one of Colin Farrell's best performances. He conveys so much emotion just through his eyes all throughout the film. He doesn't even need to speak. You can see everything he's feeling just by looking at him.

  • I too feel this is one of the greatest masterpieces of the entire history of filmaking, from the actors to the locations, to the direction, to the photography, its got hundreds of little details that just blow me away, I agree this movie makes one feel, that love might just be the answer, love given free, love without anything but th idea of being human.

    Amazing!

  • She is only 14 years old?!?! Wtf isint that like pedophilia or sumthing?

  • Comment removed

  • in reality-the womens group wd be close- women no safety alone

  • The acting in this film is breathtaking. Kilcher's, Farrell's, and Bale's stunning abilities to evoke such believable emotions through body language and composure allows us to read their emotions in such an intimate and beautiful way. We become deeply engrossed in their sorrows, joys, and apprehensions so much so that we feel almost like we are eavesdropping on their lives, American actors--start taking notes!

  • in reality- wd she not be with her clan mothers group?- not off alone like this-there were warring tribes then

  • What is the title of the soundtrack playing under this scene? And what is the name if the one that's played under the proposal scene withe Christian Bale?

    Thanks for the answear!

  • @nemetbarnabas - If you type in "The New World Soundtrack" and go to "Rolfe Proposes", it'll take you right to the song.  It'll also give you every other song that is in the soundtrack. :)

  • The Tree of Life is going to be the best film ever

  • Oh my God he is so SEXY in this movie!

  • @WillowWillowXOX Actually german ten to be really white, but there are no tips of person for every country, i'm portuguese but i really look like pocahontas, i'm really dark, black hair, but here people are white, despite this be a latine country :)

  • This is my favourite movie, definitly <3 it teach me so much, it's like a life lesson, make us think and see life and love of a different point of view, i miss movies like this one

  • It's a beautiful piece of film-making by Mallick, with stunning cinematography, and actors so into their roles. Kinda shameful films like this don't make huge amounts at the box office!

  • this movie describes my soul. It is so refreshing when you see in someone else's art an expression that is dying to be released in yourself. I feel the same connection with nature that Pocahontas does, but never have the nerve to move and communicate with it like she does. I just want to run around and jump in a lake sometimes thanking God for how beautiful the world is.

  • This movie has (and continues) to change my life. I actually think the scene directly presiding this scene is even more marvelous.

  • the story of Pocahontas means such a different thing if you come from the Delmarva region. its a landscape that doesn't seem appear to offer very much at first, but on a second glance is teeming with a life force. no mountains, no grizzly bears, no glaciers, just green. that land isn't just "the new world," it's your home!

  • you see this movie then you see atlanta and say how the FUCK did this happen

  • Comment removed

  • One of the most beautiful movies probably ever made. It was a little bit on the long side though, especially at 2 hours and 15 minutes. But it was just incredible.

  • @WillowWillowXOX Actually, most Irish natives tend to be very pale, which is why I said it was odd. I have an Irish background myself and the majority of my family is quite pale. Most of us have even joked about it by saying: "I don't tan; I burn."

    I guess the character would have a tan from being at sea or traveling for such a time and being so exposed to the sun, though. *shrugs*

  • @FantasmaLuna Nothing odd about it there are Irish and Scotish ppl of Spanish descent

  • @WillowWillowXOX That's called a tan, which is odd 'cause he's actually from Ireland.

  • Oh, pilamaya is Lakota for thanks!

  • ........."FREE".........

  • Ok this may sound weird. I watched this movie yesterday without knowing who made it. Today I watched Badlands, found out about Terrence Malik, did some research and just discovered Days of Heaven, a film I used to love, but again i had no idea who had directed it..Glad I discovered a great director so unexpectedly

  • has nothing on aguirre the wrath of god

  • 0:49 on is amazing.

  • lovely

  • I would totally poke Pocahontas.

  • i know colin farrel is a pedophile

  • @biggestspenda And you are stupid...

  • omg I still cant belive that she is 14 years old in this movie :O

  • in what year is this movie portrayed? must be somewhere in the 17th or early 18th century, i think, but not sure...

  • @plagueofangels666 I believe early 1600s in Jamestown.

  • @TheSeattle91 thnx

  • "Love...shall we deny it when it visits us?"

    "Start over; Exchange those false lights for a true one."

    Perfect film. Emotions speak, not characters. Perfect for letting us FEEL this, not TOLD what to feel (like most films). We feel that TRUE Love can make no sense: Harder to wait on, hardest to keep faith in. True Love can be furthest away but your hearts know a closeness beyond past loves-false lights. Do we settle for less if True Love IS so hard to hold onto?

    "My True Light...My American."

  • alright the 218TH COMMENT

  • English translations would be nice

  • The score from this film is phenomenal. It's now being used in a Levi's commercial of all places

  • @swakachi that piece of music is vorspiel by wagner

  • simply beautiful. *o* I only wish I had seen America at that time... it saddens me that a country so beautiful can never be the same again, and that us humans have still not changed our ways...

  • God i love this movie so much. And John Smith is hottt. ((:

  • 'Tis a pity she hardly has time for acting anymore, as her philanthropy and social activism seems to monopolize most of her time—but at least she has given us this, a spiritual portrait of a young girl approaching the threshold of becoming woman (and of course, much more). 

  • This is one of the most beautiful movie's I've ever seen, especially b/c of little dialogue. Sometimes a scene doesn't need words to tell a beautiful story, an d I'm glad this director and writer realized that and put it to use.

  • There's something that I know when I'm with you that I forget when I'm away.

    Tell me, my love, do you wish for me to come back and live with you again?

    Free, my true light. Can love lie? My America.

    Where are you, my love?

    That fort is not the world; the river leads back there, it leads onward too, deeper, into the wild.

    To start over; exchange this false light for a true one; give up the name of "Smith."

    True poetry right there. Absolutely beautiful when paired with the cinematography

  • It is the most beautiful scene in the film! Because of the music!

  • I love this movie so much. I can't help but cry especially during the ending:)

  • Yes, it is! Wonderful scene of love.

  • this girl is so fucking lucky colin its so sexy and hot

  • Q'Orianka has such a beautiful smile! I love her!

  • Kinda funny how in the Disney pocahontas, Christian Bale was the voice of Thomas, but now he actually plays the role or John Rolfe. He must like the story!

  • @SuckMyTom

    Yes, best stick to pictures more on your level. I hear there's a new talking dog movie coming out soon, maybe you should check that out.

  • @SuckMyTom you sir are immature grow up... you wouldnt know a good movie if it hit you in the face.

  • Most beautiful girl ever, I love you Korianka!!!

  • Every Terrence Mallick film is a work of art-- or "visual poetry" as many call it. Cant wait for his next film "Tree of Life." This is easily one of my favorite films ever, and one of the best scenes in the film. I remember clearly this scene when I was in the theater. I immediately thought of someone from my past I wish I had gone back for...and when he doesnt, either, it just hurt. This film is epic on every scale.

  • For those that wanted a Native American Indian to play the part of Pocahantas, let me say this, I saw a movie where they did use a young American Native Indian, specifically for that reason, and unfortunately, the movie was a horrible bomb. There were some really good actors in the film, but unfortunately everyone suffered because of the casting of that young boy. Great actors over ethnicity.

  • @redpod

    agree. affirmative action simply doesn't work when it comes to artistic creation.

  • this movie is soooo freakin long ,but its good.

  • This movie was so underrated when it came out. I loved it so much. The beautifully expressive Farrel and the passionate yet compassionate Bale. And don't forget the Gorgeous Q'orianka.

  • utter perfection..the entire film!

  • '' Q and this gentlemen are breathtaking beauty. Q' orinanka is soo pleasant that she can hold Kings captive.''

  • @BabyIsmellL0ve1on1 the girl who play pocahontas is half whtie half native amerian .. next time they should not pick somone whos half white... WTF how hard is it??

  • @llHyRaXll ' SOO, what are you trying to say?!! I don't care what her nationality is I know she is beautiful and CAN capture a king captive. WTF are you talking about like?? Race has nothing to do with that commet!!

  • @BabyIsmellL0ve1on1 wtf are you dumb? natioanlity has nothing to do with this.. im tlaking about ethnicity.. do you know the difference?? what i said was the should get osmone who is full native american to play a roll of somone who is full native american.. idiot learn to read

  • @llHyRaXll

    Wow, Her blood isnt "pure" enough for you?

    I dont give a crap about her genetic structure so long as she can capture the essence of the character she is playing. You need to learn to look past race and enjoy the movie.

  • @BubbleGumNipples yeah she is not pure enough... u wouldnt use a black man to play the emperor of china would you? fuckin idiot

  • @llHyRaXll I think she's perfect for this movie, and his father is actually a native from peru so she is 'pure' enought, but the important is the movie not they race, there are different types of native people you know?

  • @TamaraTVD natives from peru were different than the ones in north america and besides shes part white....important is the movie as well as the race and accuracy....just like using a white jew to play prince of persia... that is bull shit

  • @llHyRaXll Wait, so Colin Farrell isn't actually a 15th century English captain? My immersion is ruined!!!! Like the director was like "Find me the real Pocahontas! otherwise the internet will think our MOVIE (hint) is bullshit!"

    I included the clue, cuz it sounds like you could use one . .

  • @plateofshrimp80s no you idiot

  • @BubbleGumNipples Yeh , remember when John Wayne played Genghis Khan in "The Conquerer"? I'ts a movie not a DNA test. I can comment cause I'm Dakota Nation on both sides of my family[lakota & blackfoot. There aren't many who can say they don't have European blood somewhere! This is probably the best depiction of Tribal life sinse "A Man Called Horse" with Richard Harris. Cinematography is stunning!  Pilamaya

  • @BubbleGumNipples Yeah you're right, and actually she seems to be perfect to this movie, his father is actually native from peru so she's 'pure' enought

  • anyone know what the piano tune is? As far as i'm aware it's not on the official album... or if it is let me know which track as i haven't found this song yet! :)

  • @asmorrey1 its called all is lost and its number 11 on the soundtrack i believe

  • don't think this movie was given enough of a chance when it was released. it makes you think and in a slight way makes you feel better for having watched it. the movie itself just washes over you just like the nature in the movies does. you just sit back and take it in. that young girl was so good in her first movie role . you would of thought she had been in other things because she was so natural. odd that I haven't seen her since. it was great to see him be so playful with her.

  • @christm5 it's probably not popular because it marginalizes Native American culture and the story is cartoonishly lopsided.

  • I wasn't trying to tell you anything. I was just attempting to provide a little intellectual support to what you said earlier. That is all. I went a little overboard myself but I'm just sick of people not giving films like these a chance.

  • @christm5 . They know in their heart of hearts there missing something important. When I think of the face their true emotions would express it looks much like Adam Smith's face at 1:02. Banished from paradise as it seems

  • @christm5 . Everything element of the film is there to convey a message, and through lyrical films like this, invoke and emotion or feeling thereby conveying a message through different means. They know that what it is they can't understand is beautiful and profound and gives the more enlightened viewer a feeling of spiritual comfort that is worth more than any happiness they could purchase at a store.

  • @paintedturtle what the fuck, bitch u need some dick.

  • @christm5 your blithe remark did contain a very true statement. The "artsy" films are ignored, and when not ignored derided by the majority of people simply becuase they can't understand the statement made by the film. Most were fed Michael Bay trash most of their lives! They don't realize that not one element in a single image of this film was placed there haphazardly or without thought. .

  • 48 sec to 1:32 is such a moving and profound little moment of this scene. The poetry of the writings coupled with the symbolic imagery of the frames....felt like I was glimpsing the soul

  • The poets rhymes are merely words; the painters portraits are simply paints, and nothing more. It is the individual which gives meaning to a work of art originates, not from the meter or thee stanzas or style of the painting, and it is from that individual which the artwork achieves poignancy. No two people experience a single artwork in precisely an identical manner.

  • @zacattack214 is it so?

  • Right, because you are oh so qualified to undertake such an endeavor. It seems the meaning of my comment was lost on you. And, by the way, one cannot explain the way in which a movie profoundly affects a person; one cannot measure poignancy in terms of technicality, because to do so would be a farce and shallow method of attempting to explain individual experience—which one can never hope to grasp. Thanks for trolling.

  • @christm5

    I'm sorry... how does that relate to my comment again?

  • The first time I saw this film, the beauty and poetry, all depth was lost on me, for I was too young and naïve to understand. Yet despite this, it somehow managed to reach inside of me, and left an impression. Now, I have grown, changed, and returned to this film with a renewed sense of self. Now, it is one of the most important films of my life. Now, I understand.

  • @zacattack214 You are SOOO RIGHT! A natually BEAUTIFUL FILM! Some people don't try 2 understand the film but I agree with you..IT is worth some TIME to see the AMAZEMENT of this film. I quess that what makes it so BEAUTIFUL and Valuable because it is uncommon and hard for others to understand the real meaning.

  • PEDOOOOOOOO

  • i always wanted to be one of those first english/french/whatever settlers that ran away from home and was accepted into native american society as one of their own. and live my life that way.

  • i watched this scene and then bought the extended cut on amazon. I went to this scene and its a lot different from whats on here and unfortunately not as poetic. Is this scene exactly like this in the theatrical version or has this been edited for youtube?

  • Virginia is for lovers

  • It was a perfect film - the photography, the story - it was stunning. It was also a sophisticated love story that made some effort to explain the psychological ramifications of love that can only suit a particular moment or environment.

    I thought Q'orianka Kilcher's situation was very sensitively portrayed, as was her relationship with the man who became her husband (who was beautifully played by Christian Bale).

    Because it didn't have a "pat" ending of happily ever after, it didn't do well.
