You selected an amazing movie because it is exactly the story of the Exploration Age. You totally had me thinking a history based film.
When I watched the movie with my son I described the similarities with the "New World". My kids are half Native American so it was a modern way to show them what happened.
That is awesome. I feel pretty good knowing you were thinking the same thing when you saw it. Not only because you have the Native American connection but because you are a parent. I was hoping parents would get what I was trying to do. Seriously thanks for taking the time to make that comment.
