The New World is an epic adventure set amid the encounter of European and Native American cultures during the founding of the Jamestown settlement in 1607. Inspired by the legend of John Smith and Pocahontas, acclaimed filmmaker Terrence Malick transforms this classic story into a sweeping exploration of love, loss and discovery, both a celebration and elegy of the America that was... and the America that was yet to come. Against the dramatic and historically rich backdrop of a pristine Eden inhabited by a great native civilisation, ‘The New World’ is a dramatised tale of two strong-willed characters, a passionate and noble young native woman (Q’ORIANKA KILCHER) and an ambitious soldier of fortune (COLIN FARRELL), who find themselves torn between the undeniable requirements of civic duty and the inescapable demands of the heart.

Rapturously beautiful... The entire meaning of the film is conveyed in a single sublime edit that joins a shot of the grubby settlement as it looks from outside its walls -- and framed inside an open door -- with its mirror image

Predictable Attempted Masterpiece
We (3 of us) tried to watch it on a Sunday morning but had to turn it off after 28 minutes as the levels of pretension were alarming.

Read the Book/write your own script
Agree with whats been said, beautiful to look at...but is this enough. The big fault with Terence Malick's films is his cavalier attitude towards dialogue. ... read more »

So bored

Released as 'Nuovomundo' in its native Italy - 'The New World' is taken, right? - Golden Door is the second film to reach these shores by Emanuele Crialese, the writer-director of Respiro. Set at the turn of the twentieth century, it's a film about a family of illiterate Sicilian peasants coming to America, spurred on by doctored photographs of money growing on trees and chickens the size of donkeys. They find passage on a great steam ship. Men and women are immediately separated, and such is... Read more
