Last Of The Mohicans

[ApexClipper]

The Patriot thread got me thinking and I've just remembered I've got this on DVD. What a film

Any other fans here?

[grass widow]

Yes I've got that film on DVD, love it.

[4WD]

Watching it right now, how strange. Not bad.

[viper_larry]

I only have about 4 DVD's, this in one of them. A most excellent film...

[Jaglover]

Only saw it once, I thought it was a decent film.

[vixpy1]

Yes.. Micahel Mann is my fav director..

Watched it with the ex and she said it was cheesy american rubbish ..

huh!!

[Size Nine Elm]

Got it out the video shop, didn't like it.




Can I have my money back?


Only joking, haven't seen it, but did start to read the book a few months ago... might even continue soon.

It's a great film. Atmospheric, cool soundtrack and just the right amount of brutal violence to make it realistic.

This film has one of the best final sequences i've ever seen, if not the best. When Chingachgook, Hawkeye & Uncas go after Magua to get Alice back.... almost leaves ya breathless when its over....

Edge of the seat (The chase), heart renching (Uncas) , moving (the shot of Alice's face as Magua reaches out his hand to her, and her decision... ), exciting and uplifting (Magua V Chingachgook ) all in one extended scene ... all set to music with no dialogue.... classic movie sequence.

One of Micheal Mann's best films if you ask me just for that final sequence alone (although the rest of the film is great too)

Recorded it from the TV years and years ago! Brilliant film, moving in places. Havent watched it for ages tho. Ya know I might just dig out the tape tonight

You guys have got seriously good taste (or maybe that's me!)

The chase at the end? Oh utterly brilliant, and to be honest I have yet to watch a film that has such a well matched soundtrack - especially the backing music to that final chase.

Yes, I have the soundtrack too!

agree 100%.. one of my favorite films and one of the best final sequences.

How come the main character does not have a Mohican haircut ?

Have both the film and CD. We used tbe music at my Dad's funeral - he was the last son and the last to carry the surname, seemed appropriate, plus he was interested in the Native American culture.

The starting sequence of the soundtrack I also associate with the Lancaster emerging from the hanger at St. Athen after her rebuild.

Makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.

good Movie

Moet & Chandon shouldn't be drunk out of cans, only poured from a proper bottle into a proper glass.

I for one would like to see them stop selling it this way. In fact, I'd be glad to see the last of the Moet cans.

sorry

A VERY good film - and, from what I know, a pretty accurate portrayal of the complex alliances between the competing colonial powers and the native American tribes. They even got the Union Flag correct for the period (i.e. no cross of St Patrick as it is pre 1801).

[porkus]

Brilliant Film and the music was good too

Its also losely based on David Crocket and his rescue of his daughter.
