As discussed earlier, film can be an exchange of messages, but a film can also play a role society by portraying a culture or belief in a way that persuades the audience to understand and respect the way people in other cultures live or how one person chooses to live in a society. The filmmakers can insert a culture or belief into a film so successfully that an audience may find themselves with a different perspective of that culture then they had before watching the film. “Pocahontas” filmmakers may have wanted to show the two different cultures in a way that sympathizes with the Native Americans and demonizes the English explorers. “Pocahontas” expresses how film can be influential to the way people perceive other culture. The content of this film serves as metaphor of our culture because most Americans don’t rely on information from books anymore, so they gain their understandings of different cultures, in this case, Native Americans through film. The concepts in “Pocahontas” may not be completely accurate but Americans still choose to accept this understanding because it was conveniently expressed and shown in a way that amuses
