My husband and I went to see 3 movies tonight, one of them being The New World. Thanks to Cartooniverse’s insane OP, I spent more time scrutinizing Farrell and Kilcher’s touches and interactions than relaxing and enjoying this quiet, beautiful movie.
THEY DO NOT HAVE SEX. They do not even SIMULATE having sex.
THEY NEVER REALLY KISS. There are light kisses to the shoulder and forehead, and a slight lip brushing, but no actual kiss.
There is NO sexual touching whatsoever. He never touches her breast.
They hold hands. They touch each other’s arms. They look soulfully into each other’s eyes. They swim together (with other people present). They obviously have a connection, a bond. It’s never depicted as a sexual bond.
If Cartooniverse is going to get bent out of shape, he should have substituted Christian Bale’s name for Colin Farrell, since she DOES kiss Bale. Her character (never called Pocahontas, btw, just Princess or Rebecca) marries Bale’s character and has a child by him, though again, no sexual scenes are shown.
I’m appalled by the OP and the fact that people are putting forward opinions about this movie WITHOUT HAVING SEEN IT. Cartooniverse ought to be ashamed of himself. This is a breathtakingly wonderful movie, and Kilcher is astonishing. Cartooniverse’s filthy mind and insinuation has unfairly tainted the film.
This is the Pit? Good.
Fuck you Cartooniverse. Your dirty mind colored my first viewing of the film with a negative tint. Malick is one of my favorite directors and I only get a movie from him once in a blue moon. I’ve been waiting for this gorgeous movie for several years, and I hate that I read your post mere hours before I finally saw it.
Fuck you all to hell.
