I'm sorry, I want to change my burden (original question: whitewashing is not as deadly as a trick)

The first time I watched this movie, I just vaguely felt something was wrong. I was afraid of offending other audiences, so I used the words euphemistically. Yesterday, I saw some small science popularization of Native Indians. I was so polite!

If you have already wasted 90 minutes of your life to watch this movie, I hope you waste another 15 minutes to understand a bit of correct history. This is very, very, very important to your perception.

▶The truth of primitive capital accumulation in Western modernization: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Si4y137NR/

I'm going to cry! IQ was humiliated! The descendants of the white colonists actually beautify + lust + consciousness rape the global audience? ! What do the Indians think when watching this movie? What is it?

If you think my words are too much, two simple numbers: 1. The Native Americans had a population of 30 million before the colonists arrived. After the colonists invaded their homes, the population was only 3 million. 2. A country that clamors for "human rights" every day has not given the native Indians the legal status and protection that they deserve. The rate of rape of women by the whites in the settlements of the native Indians is as high as 30% (just publicly reported statistics)

Some people, what they can't do, they are best at crimes against humanity. Please think about the fundamental issue. Behind the brilliance are countless lives and unrecognized human rights.

I was very lucky to be born in China. Maybe I did some good deeds in my previous life. I believe that the people who come out are always to be paid back, not because the time has not come.

(But if you look at the situation in Europe and the United States in 2020, it may be that God will accept them)


After someone saw my title, they started to argue with me and labeled me pink fifty cents. It turns out that you will be scolded if you just speak based on objective facts. So, I will ask a few questions.

1. Isn't it right to resolutely oppose crimes against humanity and resolutely support peace/justice/civilization?

2. As aboriginals, isn't it right to defend your homeland against foreign invasion?

3. Regarding the strong as our masters and willing to be "spiritually colonized" shouldn't we reflect on it?

People who label indiscriminately, please open your eyes and see the real world.

Because a favorite musical actor sang the song Colors of the Wind on his personal Live , he felt that the lyrics were particularly beautiful, so he supplemented this cartoon.

The plot is actually quite simple. Governor Ratcliffe and a group of gold diggers set foot on the American New World, hoping to dig for gold. Governor Ratcliffe is a careerist who dreams of making a fortune and is recognized by the British royal family, and John Smith is a strong figure, handsome, handsome heart, and kind heart. Silly white sweet blond caucasian male. John met Pocahontas (female protagonist) while searching the jungle, and they fell in love at first sight.

The plot begins, paving the way for Pocahontas to dislike Kocoum's serious (stiff) man, dislike the marriage arranged by the patriarch's father for her, and she has the dream of running like a river and does not want to settle down. So it seemed reasonable that she would be curious about John, fall in love with John, and have idealized filters for their love.

But things are not that simple. The reason why the male and female owners can meet is that the Governor Ratcliffe from civilized society wants to invade the homes and properties of others. These invaders believe that the Native Indians are "thieves" and hide the gold. Western civilization does not allow thieves. Exist, so Ratcliffe said, as long as we encounter Indian ghosts, we will shoot them to death.

Seeing this, I really want to complain, shameless, invincible in the world.

The war is ready to go, and the hostess is still in love without knowing the hatred. The patriarch gathered the warriors together and was about to have an alliance meeting. Pocahontas stopped his father and asked him: Is it necessary to go to war? Can't you talk to those invaders? The patriarch said: It's not that simple, and those people won't talk about it. Then Pocahontas showed his father why you are so stubborn and continued to ask: If they are willing to talk, you will listen, will you? ?

My OS: hostess, be more sober! ! !

So Pocahontas ignored his father's advice and ran to Granny Willow for a tryst with John Smith in the middle of the night.

——Actually, I personally think this plot is the best in this drama, because the ignorant and stubborn combination of the male and female protagonists, for their humble love, led to a tragedy.

Nakoma found Pocahontas sneaking out because he was worried about her safety, so he asked Kocoum to follow her; at the same time, John ran out of the camp and was spotted by his partner Thomas. Unexpectedly, after the praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole, Ratcliffe orders Thomas to follow John, and also uses the aggressive method to let Thomas kill the Indian An in order to prove his ability and masculinity.

Pocahontas and John confirmed their love under the willow tree, and they were kissing each other with affection. Kocoum was furious when he saw all this and rushed out to fight with John. Thomas thought that his partner was in danger, and pointed his gun at Kocoum. He, who used to have poor marksmanship, actually gave Kocoum a fatal blow at this critical moment. Although the old-fashioned but reliable Kocoum was sacrificed in this way.

I think, although Kocoum doesn't have many portrayals, he actually loves Pocahontas very much. He rushed out to kill John, not only because John was an enemy, but also because Pocahontas was in danger. It was because his beloved Pocahontas was kissed by a white ghost.

The tribe rushed over, saw Kocoum and the lovers who fell on the ground, and tied John up. It is useless to say anything at this time, and war is unavoidable.

I really like that the patriarch scolds Pocahontas here: Kocoum sacrificed because of your ignorance.

The patriarch is the one who has wisdom and reason.

What follows is a conversation between Pocahontas and John:

"I'm sorry if we didn't meet each other, nothing will happen"

"I would rather die tomorrow, and don't live a hundred years without knowing you"

Maybe my next words will make some viewers feel uncomfortable. This line of the male lead is considered to be a famous line and the highest point of the show- because your actions led to the death of an innocent person, because your romantic wants Leading to war, many people will lose their lives and even their homes because of your ignorance-what mood do you still have, sitting there, smiling and tenderly speaking to the hostess?

In the face of the general trend, the so-called love may be a tragedy or a joke . John's impression of me is the latter.

After laying two-thirds of the plot, the war is finally about to begin. The music and lyrics of this cartoon are very well written. Both camps think that the other side is a "barbarian", and there is no distinction between justice and evil, because their position is correct anyway.

The patriarch wants to execute John, Pocahontas rushed out and hugged John in awe, and said to his father: I love him! I do not want! See for yourself, it is hatred that made us embark on this path! I chose this way. How would you choose, father.

The patriarch froze for a moment, thought for a while, and said: What my daughter said, wisdom beyond her age, we all come with anger in our hearts, and what she brings is courage and understanding...

My OS:? ? ? Pocahontas what are you thinking about? Your people are indeed dead, and your homeland is indeed threatened. Isn't it right for your father to repel the invaders? Isn't the war just because of the outbreak after the anger reaches its peak? For the sake of harmony and the protagonist's aura forcibly reversed, Disney is invincible, and it has also let the patriarch, a wise person, temporarily IQ offline...

After watching this cartoon, I feel that certain ideologies are very good at whitewashing peace. I borrowed Guevara’s famous saying: watching certain movies and television works feels like going home. All of them are talents, and they speak nicely. I like them very much. inside.

    Unlike other Disney princess movies, the protagonist thinks he wants to save her, but the princess feels that she does not need to be saved. We are free and equal. She also leads the audience to think that when life is sailing like a canoe, she chooses the rapids to flow in. Still a calm lake, the pictures are beautiful, the animals are also cute, the characters suddenly sing and they are cute, the story forcibly beautifies the white people, the magical magic appears to make people no longer have obstacles in communication, and then the white hero will let people eliminate the barriers.

    It is simply a glorification of the invasion of Indians by European powers, and it is disgusting. The style is also weird. Why is it a white man and an aboriginal girl, the truth is too arrogant. Indians are smeared by white people, and a bad guy chasing wealth represents all the bad things done by the invaders? Deceiving the world, it's really disgusting!

Pocahontas quotes

  • Powhatan: My daughter speaks with the wisdom beyond her years. We've all come here with anger in our hearts, but she comes with courage and understanding. From this day forward, if there is to be more killing, it will not start with me.

  • Kocoum: Nakoma, where is Pocahontas?

    Nakoma: I-I haven't seen her.

    Kocoum: Pocahontas can't keep running off. It's dangerous out there. Tell her that. She listens to you.

    Nakoma: [sarcastically to herself] Huh. Sure she does.
