Like his superb earlier films, this one has a poetic, faux-naive narration and little dialogue to lead viewers through a story of small people in a gorgeous landscape. On landing in America, Capt. Smith (Colin Farrell) is intoxicated, beatified, by the new land?s abundance. ?Here the blessings of the earth are bestowed upon all,? he declares. ?None need grow...
