Never noticed before, Colin Farrell has feminine eyes. Or was it the DP loved him so?
Were the naturals childlike, fun-loving innocents or fuming warriors? Make your mind up, Terrance.
So many fields of waving grass and flowers, reminded me of Thin Red Line.
That leather dress-thing Pocahontas wore was *very* fetching, hanging on one shoulder.

Christian Bates as John Rolfe looked, as usual, golden and acted it -- the only clear winner here.
All in all, a very *pretty* movie.
