*UGH*.
I can't stand reading pretentious "articles" like these...

"The princess, dressed in Jacobean costume, a ruff collar fluting around her throat, and played by the sublimely lovely newcomer Q'orianka Kilcher, looks both at ease and entirely foreign. When she sees this pitiful captive in the cage, does she see any part of herself?

If that question is never answered in "The New World," it is because Malick, who wrote and directed the film, his fourth in three decades, never presumes to know the answer. For the filmmaker, who is more poet than historian, Pocahontas is clearly a metaphor (virgin land, as it were), but to see her as exclusively metaphor would only repeat history's error."

OH MY GOODNESS.

Seriously, you're not writing a post-graduate comparitive essay on Hamlet here; you are writing a MOVIE REVIEW!!!
