The facts of Virginia's first white settlers, circa 1607, have been told for eons and fortified by Disney's animated films: explorer Smith (Colin Farrell) and the Native American princess (newcomer Q'orianka Kilcher) bond when the two cultures meet, a flashpoint of curiosity and war lapping interchangeably at the shores of the new continent. Malick, who took a twenty year break between his second and third films ( Days of Heaven and The Thin Red Line ), is a master of film poetry; the film washes over you, with minimal dialogue (you see characters speak on camera for less than a quarter of the film). The rest of the words are a stream-of-consciousness narration--a technique Malick has used before but never to such degree, creating a movie you feel more than watch. The film's beauty (shot in Virginia by Emmanuel Lubezki) and production design (by Jack Fisk) seems very organic, and in fact, organic is a great label for the movie as a whole, from the dreadful conditions of early Jamestown (it makes you wonder why Englishman would want to live there) to the luminescent love story. Malick is blessed with a cast that includes Wes Studi, August Schellenberg, Christopher Plummer, and Christian Bale (who, curiously, was also in the Disney production). Fourteen-year-old Kilcher, the soul of the film, is an amazing find, and Farrell, so often tagged as the next big thing, delivers his first exceptional performance since his stunning debut in Tigerland . James Horner provides a fine score, but is overshadowed by a Mozart concerto and a recurring prelude from Wagner's Das Rheingold , a scrumptious weaving of horns fit to fuel the gentle intoxication of this film. Note: the film was initially 150 minutes, and then trimmed to 135 by Malick before the regular theatrical run. It was also the first film shot in 65mm since Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet. -- Doug Thomas Epic adventure set amidst the first encounter of European and Native American cultures during the founding of the Jamestown Virginia Settlement in 1607. The film follows Pocahontas (Q'Orianka Kilcher) and her relationships with adventurer John Smith (Colin Farrell) and aristocrat John Rolfe (Christian Bale). This woman's remarkable journey of love lost and found takes her from the untouched beauty of the Virginia wilderness to the upper crust of English society as we witness the dawn of a new America. Review: "We're Going to Live Like Kings!" - I saw this film at the cinema when it was originally released, but it's taken me awhile to buy and play the DVD. It's strange how over the years since then my mind has come back to this film, breaking through momentarily from my subconscious. And when I read a recent article in `The Guardian' newspaper by John Patterson that praised it as the best film of the decade, I knew I had to purchase it and relive it. (Note, this is the 130-minute version; the Blue ray disc lasts 170 minutes.) The opening is extremely evocative with a few shiploads of colonists slowly moving upriver to found the colony of Jamestown in the year 1607. Their journey is made to the sound of Wagner's opening to `Rhinegold'. In fact, there is a very effective use of music made throughout this film. And as the colonists fan out into the undergrowth after their landing, I could not help think of similar scenes in Malick's previous movie, `The Thin Red Line'. Indeed, the film adopts the same expressing of thoughts that was so much a feature of that moving motion picture. The film opens in 1607, but closes in the year 1616. Pocahontas has become Rebecca, a curiosity at the English court of King James I. Ultimately this is a love story between the American Indian Pocahontas and her two successive `husbands', Captain Smith (played by Colin Farrell) and then John Rolfe (Christian Bale). But the film is also a meditation on the founding of America. When one of the colonists within minutes finds some oysters, the captain declares, "We're going to live like kings!" How right - and how wrong - he was! This is no romanticised picture of the founding of Virginia. The extras on this disc merely confirm what can be deduced from the film itself, namely that every effort has been made to ensure the authenticity of the film's narrative and style. It was filmed barely miles form the site of the original colony with the ships of the colony's museum, and all in natural light. The pace is steady, sometimes slow, but never without interest. There are long periods with no dialogue except the expression of the mind's thoughts and feelings. Sometimes there is too much mumbling and there are also some visual inconsistencies, for example in the numbers of men and boys. The editing is often very jumpy, and I notice there are four editors credited, so it sometimes feels that you are watching four films in one. But because the soundtrack is continuous, there is a solidity to the audio-visual experience. The extras include an hour-long `making of ...' in which it seems everyone but the notoriously reclusive director has something interesting to say. In his `Guardian' article, James Patterson declared that "when all the middlebrow Oscar-dross of our time has eroded away ... `The New World' will stand tall, isolated and magnificent, like Kubrick's black monolith." I'm not sure I would go that far, but it certainly is a masterpiece; once seen, it will never be forgotten. Review: A metaphor of eternal struggle between sex, or of the double hypocrisy of western civilization? A unique film either way - Was it made by any other director, I would rate it 5 stars, for the visionary and incredible force of his visual and poetic touch. Being a Malick film, it is "Only" 4 stars, just because here Malick starts to become a little self-derivative, but still staying at such sublime heights that you can't help being amazed by his style. It is the second film he made after 20 years of silence, following, few years later, his magnificent return on the big screen with The Thin Red Line. The New World is a sort of sequel or prequel of that, although set in another story and time. It is made of the same stuff as the previous film and somehow even more extreme than that: a constant Voice over of the two main characters, that alternate and interweave with one another and with the unfolding of the story, mixing with the magnificent music and ambient sounds of the scenes, and creating, along with the wonderful photography that captures intimate moments as well as spectacular landscape and magic nature, a flow of consciousness suspended between beauty of purity and the sudden and shocking realism of human violence. The New World is the story of a slow, inevitable path to destruction cause by the irruption of civilization. But it is not so simple, because Colin Farrell and Colin Firth, the threat and the solution of the story, represent the two faces of western world, two sides of the same domination, one brought by violence, the other by culture. The latter, representing the old world, has to bitterly face with the former, trying to get wrong things right, but once the conquest has started, there is no way to stop it. And so Pochaontas get stuck in the middle, only left with the choice between one of the two cages. In a sense The New World is also a gigantic metaphor of human and sentimental relationships, with the woman torn between two ideal kind of men: the brutal and physical one and the more educated and rational one. So you can enjoy it on 2 different layers and decide if you want to approach it in an emotional way or a rational one. And this is one of the main values of this maybe unresolved but extremely fascinating and unique film, whose incredible cinematographic aspects are so perfectly exposed by the fantastic blu ray transfer ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | August Schellenberg, Ben Mendelsohn, Christian Bale, Christopher Plummer, Colin Farrell, David Thewlis, Q'orianka Kilcher, Raoul Trujillo, Sarah Green, Terrence Malick, Wes Studi, Yorick Van Wageningen Contributor August Schellenberg, Ben Mendelsohn, Christian Bale, Christopher Plummer, Colin Farrell, David Thewlis, Q'orianka Kilcher, Raoul Trujillo, Sarah Green, Terrence Malick, Wes Studi, Yorick Van Wageningen See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 1,332 Reviews | | Format | PAL | | Genre | Action & Adventure | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05017239193743 | | Manufacturer | Entertainment in Video | | Number of discs | 1 | | Runtime | 2 hours and 15 minutes | ## Images ![The New World [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71d7JcZAPkL.jpg) ![The New World [DVD] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71s3zSxMleL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "We're Going to Live Like Kings!" *by N***Y on 27 July 2010* I saw this film at the cinema when it was originally released, but it's taken me awhile to buy and play the DVD.

I love the beginning of the film that slowly drifts into tranquillity in beautiful film imagery and music: The three ships arriving in view from greenery land where the sun captures the light in shadow from the sky: The unusual dance movements and playfulness of the Native Americans' -'inquisitive and gentle like deer' -it all intrigued and captured my attention: "They are gentle, loving, faithful, lacking in guile and trickery. "The words denoting, 'lying, envy, slander and forgiveness' -have never been heard: "They have no sense of possession. " 'Real' -is what I thought was a dream." And yet, in a dreamlike quality and tale, this is how the story unfolds -but how very different this film would have been in mood without the haunting and lovely musical score: from a long journey to form a new settlement into a colony among Native Americans'? The words are often spoken in quietly voiced, and imagined thoughts -in confrontation, in harmonisation to communicate in division of languages between two very different cultures from ancestral nations. There are no horrors to witness to unsettle the viewer in alarming terror: but there are hardships, hunger, fighting and poor discipline, and a constant threat in fear from the natives to be conquered, to be colonized in control of their freedom? I like the eventual pageant meeting at the Royal Court with King James and the daughter of Chief Powhatan: 'Pocahontas!' -the girl, hypnotic to mesmerising beauty to Captain John Smith -and to the camera lens itself! The beautiful filming and music drifts and lingers along in 172mins of viewing time -and a piano concerto by Mozart ( no.23 ) is prominent throughout to enhance a sadness of a love story that I had not mentioned -but in a longing desire that the film seems intent to convey! Directed by Terrence Malick Music by James Horner Cinematography by Emmanuel Lubezki Starring Q'orianka Kilcher, Colin Farrell, Christopher Plummer, Christian Bale, August Schellenberg.... I saw the film in the cinema at the Tavistock Wharf ( Devon ) on Thursday, 30th March 2006 ( I still have the box office ticket! ) : An afternoon viewing at 2.00pm that drifted into an early evening visit to the 'Tavistock Inn' -in a reflective mood to engage my imagination and enchantment -with my thoughts, not so very far removed from 'The New World' in beauty of this film. . --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/61105025-the-new-world-dvd](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/61105025-the-new-world-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
