Tragic Love Masterpiece! Disney Movie "Pocahontas"

"Pocahontas" is the 33rd animated film from Disney. Released in 1995, the story concludes in a way that is thought-provoking and not exactly a happy ending, which is rare for Disney.

Set in early 17th century America, the protagonist Pocahontas is an Indian girl living in a tribe amidst nature. She is proposed to by Cocoaam, the village hero, and struggles with her feelings about her life.

At that time, many Englishmen arrive with the intention of colonizing the land where Pocahontas and her tribe live.

Pocahontas meets the English youth John Smith, and they fall in love as they overcome the language barrier.

However, Cocoaam, who witnesses the meetings between Pocahontas and John Smith, attacks John Smith out of anger for having taken Pocahontas, sparking a battle between the Indians and the English.

Her lover, John Smith, is shot down by a bullet fired by his fellow countrymen towards Pocahontas's father.

John Smith is severely injured and is forced to return to England. Pocahontas must choose whether to go to England with her beloved or to stay in the Indian land where she was born and raised, ultimately choosing to stay.

The fated couple faces a sorrowful ending due to their conflicting positions. Nevertheless, "Pocahontas" deeply moves many people, leading to its continued popularity and a sequel being produced.
