This ending brings me to tears, I hesitate to watch the film for a second time because it was so impactful the single time I watched it. I mean every single thing about this ending is absolutely perfect. The shot selection, the music, the voice overs, the acting, the editing of different timelines. Q'orianka Kilcher's first leading role and it is absolutely magnificent, I cannot imagine anyone exceeding her performance. Malick is a true visionary, all his films carry a deep human spirituality that is rarely seen in cinema.

Am I the only one who wished the movie had shown her getting sick, Rolfe trying to nurse her back to health and them have a deep, meaningful conversation-instead of rushing it with Rolfe’s voiceover ? I wanted to hear what she said straight from her own lips. That would have made her death scene ten times more emotional…Does that make me heartless that I want to make the audience cry?

Whats the name of this song ?!

I love how Malick uses Das Rheingold at the beginning and end of the film. So clever.

Everyone talks about Thin Red Line, but for me this is Malick's best by quite a margin.

"mother, now i know where you live". i can say, when i had my daughter, my mother (who had already passed) was reborn in my heart. GREAT line.

James Horner's music is just great for this film. Today is the ninth year of his death. RIP. Terrence Malick made the right choice of getting to write the score for this film.

She kills the role I don't understand why she didn't get better parts after this. What a performance.

Très beau film ,collin farrel ,christian bale ... magnifique paysage,romance, histoire ,bravo...

I loved this movie so much I watched it twice back to back…I’m happy she got to live a life of joy…he son will never want for anything ..I’m crying just typing this …what a great movie

Such a beautiful movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I could only dream of someone loving me as much as Christian Bale made it look. Amazing actor... beautiful perspective of Pocahontas.

Damn does the sun ever come out in this movie?

I remember watching this movie?

The awe , beauty and poetry of malick and chivo. 🎬🪻🪻🌲🦬🦢

You cry about these fictional scenes, but miss the real scenes life provides when you turn away from people being poor, from a different background... cognitive dissonance.

Who was the native at the end?

My name is Sean Geraghty too!

Does this film inspire you to read/learn about American Indian history, culture, and heritage?

i was fourteen when this movie came out and i went to see it with my dad. i remember the movie ending and us leaving the theater and driving home and both of us being silent. we were truly gobsmacked by how beautiful it was.

Best use of Das Rheingold in a film since Nosferatu.

The Pocahontas they choose was perfect, she had this beauty that I can’t describe. Mysterious, innocent, warmth, ahhh just everything. Such a beautiful and peaceful film.

The way this scene initially shows the death from the perspective of the child, suddenly having his mother disappearing mid game, and then breaks into Pochahontas’ exuberant return to nature, is just stunning. I also found it deeply moving.

The minute she died her spirit was freed she went back to her ancestral ways , it’s so bittersweet

The first time 9 years ago I felt impacted why her? Life it's so unfear. She died also too far away of her family and buried on England, far away of america

Now watching this Pocahontas infance ruined 😭

The saddest st scene

Damn we’re all going to die

A very great film

By far one of the best endings to a film I’ve ever watched. The sadness mixed in with the peace of the situation, mixes perfectly to create such a bitter sweet ending. Oh and God, that music… Just so beautiful. It’s like it’s speaking to us. That no matter the bitter sweetness of the situation, always remember the good times and strive for the future which holds accomplishment and a new day. A new world.

I was actually a actor in this movie. I so happy so many of you enjoyed it. Being part of this was amazing

Absolute marvel of a film. Malick creates magic in each of his movies, especially this ending. All of his signatures are there, the tall trees, the flowing grass, the running water, the bird flying from left to right, which you also see in Days from Heaven and Tree of Life at least, the somersault as in Days of Heaven......this is so beautiful and emotional, no matter how many times one watches that ending

This is the most profound film ending ever, 2001 be damned.

I got so upset when she walked away from smith

What’s the name of the music at :29

It's historically inaccurate.

Remembering the baptism of my mother ann and the times we played hide and seek in are garden long long ago in them golden years of my childhood and has i see her touch the tree of life she is now to me a wild spirit and has free has a bird to dance endlessly were and ever her spirit desides to take her and has i look into a new dawn and into a new life i look back to were she lays with great sadness but with great joy for i no now were she lives.

Beautiful, beautiful cinamatography.

❤❤❤

Chef-d'œuvre absolu

Wagner

The song?

I only ever watch the last half of this movie

loved the movie...hated the music score of what sounds like an orchestra tuning up for 2 hrs....

I thought I was weird for finding this ending so captivatingly powerful...the spiritual and mystic bridge between live and death is not a far distance. As a mother we all wish to be there to witness and attest to your child becoming an adult. But is not up to us. It is in the hands of destiny...we are just a vessel for the divine act of creation. And at the end of that blessed act Death sits waiting for comfort and relieve us. May I have given all the Love I could and served as Best I could. Remember me as kind and helpful. And have pity and mercy for my faults. Oh! Come Sweet Death Be Thee Gentle Yet Unyielding My Work Is Accomplished.

Words can’t even begin to describe how beautiful this is!

Christ. This is film folks. A masterpiece.

I saw this in its subdued Austin debut. Terrence Malick's wife was quietly in attendance in the rear of the theater and at the end commented that Terry saw his films as little poems. This ending is the quintessential example of this.

Malick IS the perfection ❤️

Such a masterpiece of a movie. I also loved the ending credits roll as the camera moves east to west over a somewhat primitive engraving of the North American continent. The background sound of birds and insects is enchanting as well
