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

being untrue to the literature

Especially when the "literature" in question is James Fenimore Cooper - a very minor talent (AT BEST!) and probably more historically important than stylistically important, I think. (IOW, he ain't no Melville. Or Poe. Or Hawthorne.)

True! I have to say that it's not exactly my favourite book out there, but I can understand the frustration when it poses as an adaptation of the same!
