The differences in the movie Pocahontas and the real story are not the same as some think. The movie was made in 1992 based on a scene set in 17th Century Virginia, about the daughter of a Native American chief who falls in love with the leader of a group of English settlers.
The movie sets Pocahontas as a playful, spiritual, waterfalls jumping and living girl that was the daughter of Chief Powhatan. Who falls in love with John Smith, was a Captain that thinks the Indians are “savages” whose lives can be made better by English ways of life. Chief Powhatan is a leader who opens to new ideas. Who does not go charging off into battle at the drop of a hat. Chief does want to see his daughter settle down and get married like everyone else. Pocahontas
