I'm puzzling over not how much it matters that Malick "got it wrong"-- but
what we make of the "errors," which seem more choices than errors. It's not like
the film maker didn't know at least the main points of what we know-- that
the romance is probably hooey, that Pocahontas was 11 or 12, etc. That the
Powhatan's didnt attack the fort with Pocahontas inside it. That she wasnt tutored
by an English nanny-type. etc. How do we analyze this film?
