OKAY, the real Pocahontas, from what history can tell us, was pretty awesome. I mean, she was a BOSS.
But the Disney Pocahontas, in my opinion, is pretty…small brained…to put it nicely.
Half of the horrible things that happened in that movie wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for her actions….
Can we take a moment to reread that?
“If she had stuck to the tribe, kept to her chores like the other women, and been a good daughter, things would have been a LOT better off.”
Doesn’t that sound eerily like today’s dickwad joke of “women belong in the kitchen”?
I’m not saying I agree with all of her actions in the movie, but that’s not the rationale to take to prove she’s wrong. Plus, Disney is all about their leading ladies breaking the mold and not doing what is expected of them as just females. It made the story.
