The New World / USA / 2005
There are strong parallels between this and Malick’s Days of Heaven, foremost the fluctuating relationship between a woman and two men. In the earlier film, this is not a paramount concentration, but incidental, as with every other scene in the film (a summer wheat harvest, a locust storm, or a massive brush fire). Days of Heaven is a meandering and, significantly, coherent assembly of the fleeting emotions, settings, and images that inhabit the lives of the four characters depicted therein. The same can not be attributed to The New World. For one, there is a tangible sympathy for Pocohantas; she is essential instead of incidental, rendering the film’s kaleidoscope of natural images – this is Malick’s chief strength – a cantilever designed to support her utility as an icon of imperialism.
