Just saw Malick's new movie "The New World" Incredible. He presents about as accurate and even-handed a retelling of the founding of Jamestown and the whole Pocahontas/John Smith story that is taught to every school child here in America.
The best thing about the movie is that he strips out all the special effects, CGI, explosions, and normal crap and presents a movie with incredible cinematography, characters, and soundtrack of simple natural sounds (water, birds, trees, etc). Made me homesick for the East Coast :) Probably best to brush up on your history before you go see it though as they don't do very much explaining of whats happening. -- Brian
