The last of the Mohicans: the movie.

[alexandral]

I am watching "The last of the Mohicans". (I had to check it up as I have heard so many good things about it). So far very good in a "movie that will make your rainy day better" way and quite different form the book which I remember to revolve more around war and Uncas and his father than around romance. It is STILL all about white people but I really like Hawkeye. And it is sweeping-epic gorgeous! I am looking forward to making some icons from this!



It has been a while since I have read the book – it was actually in our school program reading for the "Literature" class. I remember discussing at a very great length how evil white invaders wiped off the whole population of Indians by making them fight against each other. And that Uncas died and the future of the whole nation died with him. BUT!!! I don't remember anything serious between Cora and Hawkeye. I must have forgotten this completely – was their kissing scene in the book?????????????????

Anyways, this is such a pretty and wonderfully romantic scene:




PS I have to go to the dentist this afternoon - I am not overly happy about this. :D

I've never seen Kingdom of Heaven, but I've heard this from several people - that they much prefer the Director's cut to the theatrical film. And I'll make no comment about the Star Wars/Han Solo fiasco. Ooops, does that qualify as a comment? ;)

Oh and your icon is breathtaking.

I think Kingdom of heaven will always suffer from having Orlando Bloom as the main character. He is supposed to look pained and thoughtful, but it is never believable. But in the extended Director's Cut the rest of the cast is given room to shine and this helps the film immensely. Especially Eva Green's character is fascinating. Also the cinematography is breathtaking and I'm so shallow when it comes to stunning visuals that I like the film better just for that.

Parts of the plot is still problematic though, and historically correct it is not.

And Han shot first. I will fight for that until the grave. ;P
