Who is pocahontas in the disney movie

Nakoma apologizes to her for her actions, and she was worried, that she was trying to do the right thing by admitting that she sent Kocoum after her. She brings Pocahontas to the tent where Smith is held, she tells the two warriors guarding it that Pocahontas wants to see the eyes of Thomas, and they agree, telling her to be quick and let her in.

She apologizes to Smith before leaving, while he vows to "be with her forever". After Meeko gives Pocahontas Smith's compass, which she recognizes as the spinning arrow from her dream, she realizes that she must stop the execution that will lead to war between the Native Americans and the settlers.

She runs to where it will take place, calling out to the forces of nature to help her reach them in time. She reaches Smith just in time to throw herself over him and save him from being killed by Powhatan, who was going to be his executioner and murderer, and also tells off everyone on how they had been led by the path of hatred.

She tells her father that this is the path she chooses and what would his be if they choose to fight. Touched by Pocahontas' love and wisdom, Powhatan then comes to his senses, puts a ceasefire on their fight and releases John. When the enraged Governor Ratcliffe rejects the offer of peace Powhatan offers by sparing and releasing Smith, he shoots at him, only for Smith to push him out of the way and take the bullet himself. Soon after, a wounded John asks Pocahontas to come with him to England, but she explains that her place is in Virginia, with her people.

To comfort him, she tells him that "no matter what happens, I'll always be with you, forever. As it is leaving, she runs as fast as she can to a cliff overlooking the ocean. Smith waves goodbye in the Powhatan fashion, and she does so the same way, as she showed to him earlier when they first met, as the ship sails away. Several years after the original film, Pocahontas has been mourning Smith's apparent death in England.

She eventually decides to move on and buries his compass which he gave her before going back to England in the snow. Unknown to her, his death is part of a plot by Ratcliffe to manipulate England into a war with the Indians. Later on, Pocahontas has a run-in with an English diplomat named John Rolfe, who has recently sailed to Virginia. They do not get along at first, with her disliking his interference in a near-skirmish between the Powhatan and the English, while he dislikes her for rebuking him for said interference.

He later overhears of her role in stopping war and mistakenly assumes her to be the Chief rather than the young woman he just met. Later that night, Rolfe appears at Pocahontas' village with a gift for her but is astonished when he learns her identity.

He reveals that Powhatan must come to England to meet with King James ; otherwise, he will allow England to go to war with the Indians. When Powhatan refuses to go, Pocahontas volunteers instead. Pocahontas visits Grandmother Willow the next day, asking for advice for the journey, and is told to "listen to the spirit within. They come to a truce. Upon arriving in England, Pocahontas is astounded by this "new world".

But at the height of her fun, Ratcliffe appears and grins evilly when he finds out she is the ambassador instead of her father Powhatan. He hands Rolfe a proclamation that King James has signed that says an armada is going to set sail to destroy the Powhatan tribe.

Rolfe and Pocahontas set out for his townhouse outside of London , where Mrs. Jenkins happily greets them and puts on tea.

Rolfe goes off to meet with King James alone. If she is deemed "uncivilized", however, then the armada will sail. Rolfe and Mrs. Jenkins teach Pocahontas how to fit into English society, dressing her as an Englishwoman and teaching her how to dance.

At first, she impresses King James and Queen Anne, but during dinner, she is horrified by a bear-baiting spectacle. Unknown to her, Ratcliffe had arranged it knowing she would not approve. When she disrupts the bear-baiting and comes to the bear's defense, she angers King James by calling him and his people barbarians, and as a result, she and her bodyguard, Uttamatomakkin , assigned by Powhatan, are arrested and scheduled to be executed. Later on, Rolfe and a disguised Smith break Pocahontas and Uttamatomakkin out of the Tower of London and escape into the woods to avoid King James' troops.

She is shocked when Smith reveals himself and says that the rumors of his death were "greatly exaggerated. Smith explains that he had gone into hiding to avoid a treason conviction.

While he wants to resume his relationship with Pocahontas, she is more concerned about the armada scheduled to sail to Virginia to attack her people. Rolfe and Smith begin to argue over a course of action. Smith believes Pocahontas should stay in hiding to avoid being hanged or decapitated, while Rolfe believes she should follow her heart. She runs off, upset at the arguing between them, while Smith realizes that Rolfe is in love with her.

How Smith feels about this seems rather vague. After spending some time at the edge of a river, remembering what Nakoma said back in Virginia, and reuniting with Meeko, Flit , and Percy , she soon returns, ready to face King James herself and face the consequences, whatever they may be, earning both Smith and Rolfe's respect for her bravery. The next day, Pocahontas prepares to face King James, willing to sacrifice herself to save her people.

Upon seeing that he is alive and well, King James realizes that Ratcliffe has lied about everything. Pocahontas says they need to stop the armada, but Queen Anne reveals that they have already left. Pocahontas counters that they must at least try, and it turns out that the armada had not actually set sail just yet. She, Smith, and Rolfe are able to stop them, and Ratcliffe is arrested by King James when he returns to shore, facing severe punishment for his crimes.

Smith is given a ship of his own and a royal pardon, while Rolfe is offered an advisory position to King James. During the celebratory ball, Pocahontas plans to return home on the next ship and is trying to work up the courage to ask Rolfe whom she has fallen in love with to come with her. Smith plans to travel the world and wants her to come with him, but she explains that she feels that they've grown too far apart while assuring him that she does and will always still care about him as a friend.

After thinking it over, he understands what she's getting at and accepts her decision, wishing her happiness for the future, and she wishes him the same. After he leaves, she goes in search of Rolfe, but as she'll be leaving soon to sail back to Virginia, she's ultimately forced to board the ship by herself.

When she becomes saddened that she'll probably never see Rolfe again, he emerges from the shadows, and they embrace. When she asks him, "What about your duty to the King," he responds by saying, "I have a duty to honor what's in my heart.

Set in the post-Civil War era of Reconstruction, it's another situation of a hot potato that Disney didn't successfully handle.

That said, Pocahontas did contribute one culturally significant milestone to the Disney legacy: Irene Bedard, who plays Pocahontas, is the first non-white actress to be the speaking voice of a Disney Princess Jasmine, the first non-white Disney Princess, was portrayed by white actress Linda Larkin. However, it's worth noting that Pocahontas' singing voice is that of Judy Kuhn, who is Jewish.

Voicing John Smith is none other than Mel Gibson. Of course, Gibson wasn't a controversy lightning rod at the time, but he's come under fire over the years for racially incendiary language and rhetoric.

His tainted track record casts an additional shadow on the Disney film. The mishandling of the subject matter seems to stem from the initial concept for the film. On the back, he wrote the tagline, "an Indian princess who is torn between her father's wishes to destroy the English settlers and her wishes to help them — a girl caught between her father and her people, and her love for the enemy.

Pocahontas still has its share of adoring fans, just like any Disney movie. Even so, Pocahontas remains the most problematic Disney Princess movie.
