The New World (2005)
horrible
I dont need historical movies to be 100 % accurte, but i am so tire of the romanticizing and sexualizing the story of matoakas life.
She was about 10 y/o when she met smith. There is 0 evidence of a romantic relationship between them.
According to oral history she was raped while being held captive. Her husband was killed by her captors.
Matoaka was being used as a political symbol, as some brits disapproved how indigenous people were being treated and of all the atrocities that the settlers commited. She realized this, and wished to returned home to her tribe.
In 1617 she was perfectly healthy and in good condition to return. But after a dinner with rolfe, she suddenly died.
She was burried in the uk, against her fathers wishes.
Stop romanticizing a 21 year olds tragic life.
