She sails off with John Rolfe back to America....she finds John Smith. Rolfe thinks she'll go back to her first love, John Smith...but she and John Smith realize they have grown in different directions and she realizes she really loves John Rolfe....so see....Disney movies can have their lead ladies end up with someone other than their first love....so...all those who think it has to be Will cuz it's a Disney movie...well, not necessarily....
"I know they couldn't change history...but come one it was an animated movie...they could have just had her stay with John Smith...but I do agree that he is more like Jack...John Rolfe was more boring like Will."-----Lovethemtigers
They changed history all the time in Pocahontas. Her biography says she was only about 12, 14 at the most, when 27 year old John Smith came to the village and she was probably not the daughter of the chief but a priestess in training and any of the priestesses could have chosen to save Smith, but it was Pocahontas who chose to and because it was her, they put him in her care and that's how he picked up the language.
They were never romantically linked (at least not according to anything historians have found yet). When he went back to England, tension escalated between the settlers and the tribe and Pocahontas was taken hostage where she either voluntarily or was forced into changing her name to Rebecca and being baptized into the Christian faith. John Rolf was huge in the tobacco business and when he married Pocahontas, they were mega-rich landowners that supplied England with tobacco. She went to England and found Smith alive, but she was already married and on the way back to America, she died of mysterious causes.
Think Liz as Pocahontas in this vid. Especially watch it around the 2 minute mark!

Watch around the 2 minute mark.
Meeko (Pocahontas' raccoon friend) steals John Smith's compass and he tells her it "finds your way when you get lost." She has a dream throughout the movie she can't figure out where she sees an arrow and it spins, but she wakes up before she knows what it was pointing to. The compass eventually points her in the direction she needs to run to get to John Smith in time before her dad kills him, so the compass is pointing to who she wants.
i love Pocahontas. i remember when i was like 6 or 7 and i was obsessed with the movie.....
anyways, about all this changing history stuff.....you know how pocahontas has the best hair out of all the disney movie princesses/girls(i think so)?
according to my social studies book from about 3 yrs ago, pochahontas wasn't only VERY young, but she was also bald.🙁
