The people of the Virginia coastline of Tangiers Island are the direct descendants of the settlers shown in this film and also they speak like their ancestors as well.
What is with the racist quote about John Rolfe? He is someone's ancestor,his partly Native American descendants, in fact. Nice ruin a good video with a racist quote box...
This might be a stretch (but because it is my favorite line, I thought I might give it a try). When Rebecca is speaking of John Rolfe she says, "He is like a tree." I spotted this sentence in Psalm 1:3, "He is like a tree, planted by streams of water."
I'm not sure who I am more impressed with...Auto for spotting the allusions and putting this together, or the screenwriter and/or Malick for insisting on the allusions! Bravo to all....I'll be watching for more of this great work, Auto!
Who did the research for this? Anyone who knows both Hart Crane and John Rolfe gets two thumbs-up from me... That's someone who paid attention in American Lit.
Wow that was interesting great ear!

The American Indian tribes should have killed those crackers for coming in to their hometown instead being nice to these cracker assholes.
