DVD Review: Terence Malik brings us a fresh look at “The New World” in a beautiful, but overly long film. You would be hard pressed to find a film with a more authentic sense of period than “The New World.” The film strips away all the lore from the well known story of Pocahontas and her tribe and the English settlers at Jamestown, and imagines how new and strange these people must have seemed to one another. If the Indians stared in disbelief at the English ships, the English were no less awed by the somber beauty of the new land and its people. They called the Indians “the naturals” of the new lands. Watching the film feels as if you have stepped back in time, to another rhythm and another way of thinking.
