- CuriosidadesBecause of Terrence Malick's habit of cutting and editing his films repeatedly, much of the music that James Horner wrote for the film never made it to the final cut, except for a few fragments. In an interview, Horner said that Malick loved his score, but had no clue about what to do with it. He concluded that working with Malick was "the most disappointing experience I've ever had with a man" and that "I never felt so letdown by a filmmaker in my life".
- Erros de gravaçãoIn the early portion of the movie, the natives are shown harvesting corn (Zea maize), the ears of which are far larger than a human hand. At the time of the Jamestown colony, native corn was typically the size of a human thumb, rarely ever bigger. Large corn, such as pictured in the movie, is a product of seed selection and genetic research, mostly done since the 1860s.

Pocahontas: Mother, now I know where you live.
John Rolfe: [reading letter] "13th of April, 1616. Dear son, I write this so that someday in the future you might understand a circumstance which shall be but a far memory to you. Your dear mother, Rebecca, fell ill in our outward passage at Gravesend. She gently reminded me that all must die. 'Tis enough, she said, that you our child, should live.'"
- Versões alternativasThe First Cut was originally intended as the version to be released theatrically, but after the premiere, New Line requested that director Terrence Malick cut 15 minutes for the film's wide release, which was only two weeks away. Malick and editor Mark Yoshikawa removed fourteen minutes, shortened shots, rearranged material (including voiceover), and added some additional footage. In the First Cut,

- Immediately after the above scene, two shots of Smith and his men on a boat are absent (-00:10).
- When the Kiskiak chief (Billy Merasty) is speaking to Smith during their trade, Smith's mind wanders and he thinks of Pocahontas. In the Theatrical Cut, his reverie includes a shot of her walking along a tree trunk as he stands underneath. In the First Cut, this shot is absent and is replaced with a shot of the chief talking, plus a brief shot of Pocahontas standing in a field. The scene runs the same length in both versions.
- Immediately after the above scene, the scene of Smith and Pocahontas meeting in the clearing is longer and edited differently. In the Theatrical Cut, the scene begins with Smith on the ground as Pocahontas runs around him, followed by him hugging her and asking if she wants him to live with her. In the First Cut, the scene begins with a shot of Pocahontas approaching the clearing from the forest, followed by an additional shot of her touching Smith's chest. Then, the shot where he asks her if she wants him to live with her is followed by a longer version of the shot of him on the ground as she runs around him, then a shot of the two on the ground, then a longer version of the shot of her walking along the tree trunk. Pocahontas also has some additional voiceover; "True. Is this the man I loved? So long. A ghost. Come. Where are you, my love? Free. What do I fear?" This is followed by three additional shots; a tree blowing in the wind, Pocahontas looking at Smith, and Smith standing in a field. The next sequence is also longer. In the Theatrical Cut, there is a brief shot where Pocahontas approaches Smith in the field and takes his hand. In the First Cut, the scene continues, showing her leading him through the field, followed by several shots of the two lying together in the grass. These shots also include additional dialogue where Smith laments their situation; "We can't go into the forest. Could I show you England? No. It's too far", to which she replies, "You've come back." He asks her why he wouldn't have come back and kisses her. This is followed by an additional shot of the two hugging, and she says, "If I can be with you, yes, that is all." There is then a fade to black before the two are shown again lying in the grass. A shot of the sky is then followed by a shot of Pocahontas standing up, Smith taking her hand, and she rubbing his head. There is then a shot of the river (04:19).
- Immediately after the above scene, there are several tracking shots along a river at dusk. In the First Cut, these shots end the scene, but in the Theatrical Cut, these shots are followed by a continuation of the shot where Smith lies on the ground in the clearing and Pocahontas runs around him (-00:09).
- After Smith heads back to the fort, the shot where the Powhatans examine the crops is longer, and there is an additional shot of them making their way through the grass (00:05).
- Prior to the shot of Pocahontas being chased through the long grass by the Powhatans, there is a scene of her still in the Powhatan village, where she takes Parahunt's hand (00:17).
- Immediately after the above scene, the long shot of the fire that Pocahontas starts outside the fort is longer (00:11).
- The scene where Pocahontas warns Smith about the immanent attack is longer, and features several longer and additional reactions shots; the pauses between the lines of dialogue are also longer (00:26).
- After Smith tells Pocahontas she must come into the fort for protection, but she runs away, the subsequent shot of the moon is longer and there is additional voiceover; "Mother. Stay near me" (00:04).
- In the next scene, the shot of Pocahontas walking through the felled trees is shorter (-00:05).
- At the end of this scene, whereas the Theatrical Cut cuts directly from a low-angle shot of Pocahontas to a shot of a canoe on fire, the First Cut has multiple additional shots in between; a close-up of a candle, a shot of Pocahontas rubbing her foot along the ground, a shot of Smith in his cabin staring at a candle, the POV shot looking up through the grating from the opening scene, a shot of a river at dusk, and a shot where Smith wanders around the fort and tells Winthrop (Ford Flannagan), "wake the men up. Silently. Have them report here" (00:51).
- As the Powhatans approach the fort for their attack, there is an additional shot of them emerging from the long grass (00:04).

- During the battle, Smith's voiceover has been changed from "Lord, turn not away thy face. You desire not the death of a sinner. I have gone away from You. I have not hearkened to Your voice. Let us not be brought to nothing" in the Theatrical Cut to "Lord, I have gone away from You. I have not hearkened to Your voice. Let us not be brought to nothing" in the First Cut.

- As the Powhatans destroy the crops, in the Theatrical Cut, there is a shot of Smith walking on the battlements, inter-cut with a shot of the English flag. In the First Cut, the shot of Smith is longer and uninterrupted, with the shot of the flag moved to the end of the sequence. There is also additional voiceover; "Trapped. Like a wasp in a bottle" (00:10).
- After Smith and Argall argue about taking Pocahontas captive, Argall tells the men that Smith plans to marry her and make himself "King of Virginia". In the Theatrical Cut, Smith walks up to Argall and immediately shoves him. In the First Cut, he walks up to Argall and they stare at one another as Argall says, "Strike me and you break the laws of this colony. Those are the laws," to which Smith says "strike you?" before shoving him (00:06).
- The next scene, where Edward whips Smith has been edited differently in each version. In the Theatrical Cut, the scene opens with a split second shot of Smith hanging, followed by a shot of Edward speaking about chaos and people giving themselves "airs and graces". There are then two more split second shots of Edward striking the whip and Smith being hit. The next shot shows Edward saying, "I'll pray to the gods for your good health for the rest of my life", but the shot is inter-cut with a shot of one of the men listening to the whipping. In the First Cut, the scene opens on Edward speaking about chaos and people giving themselves "airs and graces." This shot then extends into Edward offering Smith a piece of charcoal to eat before a jump cut to the shot where he tells Smith he'll pray for him. In this version, the two subsequent split second cutaways are both absent, as is the shot of the man listening from outside, with the camera remaining on Edward the whole time (00:08).

- In the Theatrical Cut, immediately after the above scene, there is a shot of the chief's wife looking at the kettle, followed by a shot on the boat as the settlers head back to the fort with Pocahontas, the impression being that the trade went well. In the First Cut, however, rather than cutting to the chief's wife, the scene cuts to a conflict between the settlers and the Patawomecks; as the settlers clamor onto their boats, the Patawomecks are wading out into the water to try to stop them. After a shot of the Patawomecks standing on the river edge shouting, there is a longer version of the shot of the wife looking at the kettle. There is then a scene of the Powhatans launching flaming arrows at the fort as the settlers try to extinguish the flames (01:08).

He replies, "I know what I have to know. I know I love you" (00:22).
- Immediately after Rolfe and Rebecca are wed, a long shot of the exterior of the house is absent (-00:05).
- During the sequence in which Thomas is born, Pocahontas's voiceover has been changed from "You give life to the trees and the hills, to the streams of water, to the sky, the sea, to all" to "You give life to the trees and the hills, to the streams of water, to all."

I had been warned that this film was a snoozefest, but I just thought that's because people nowadays are so used to loud action movies from directors like Michael Bay that they have a problem with any slow paced narrative. But this movie is not slow, because that would require some movement. It is just standing still most of the time, which is a shame because it could have been so good!
Don't get me wrong, there are some great aspects to the film, visually it's a stunner! The cinematography is really really good, there are so many beautiful shots and scenes. But when it comes to plot and narrative something is deeply wrong. I think you could have cut out at least an hour without disturbing the plot at all. It is too long! And just because you have nice nature shots with a voice-over that says something like "mother, you are everywhere" once every minute doesn't make it deep. It just make the film boring. Also I would have preferred less focus on the relationship between Pocahontas and Smith (which consists of them staring at each other with "deep" voice overs), and instead have more focus on the relationship between the settlers and natives.
However, I think that the part with Christian Bale is a lot better and far more interesting. Sadly most viewers won't see it because they are probably sleeping by then. I think they could have shown more of Pocahontas in London, the clash of cultures is an interesting subject.
Lastly, I saw the extended cut, avoid it like plague. It doesn't add anything interesting, it just make the film even longer.
