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

It was lovely! I am really glad I got to watch it and probably I'll end up getting a DVD as it is such a good pick-up movie. (And here it differs from the book which is the saddest thing ever).

I can't stand the book!

I am not a fan of Cooper's writing but I have a little niggle - I would rather prefer if it DDL played Uncas (who was Cora's love interest in the book as dangermousie reminded) . I can't stop myself from thinking that it could have been better if the Native American guy was that hunky and NOT British guy. :D

Since I'm assuming you're watching the UK DVD, which was never butchered the way the North American version was, I can rest easy that you're actually watching the original theatrical film. :)

I think I did – it had that beautiful scene where Chingachgook and Hawkeye are following Magua, Alice, Cora and Duncan and "Clannad’s I Will Find You" is playing. Beautiful!!!!!
