    I mean sure whatever but at the end of the day you’re just remaking pocahontas poorly for the third time.

      People keep saying this kind of thing, without understanding there are only a couple dozen stories. Literally, every good story is a version of something else. Maybe at best, a mash up of a couple.

      Edit: here is a decent page that covers them all.

          Plot and story are overrated.
          If that’s what really made a movie, a synopsis would be just as good. And way cheaper to make.

        I bet Pocahontas itself is also a version of something older, but I’m not versed enough in classical literature to know what it might be.
