Movie Reviews of The Last of the Mohicans (Director's Expanded Edition)
Movie Review: a slightly more realistic version of a great film
Summary: 4 Stars
FILM: Having only have seen the theatrical release of Mohicans, I'd always been meaning to pick it up on dvd, and opted for this Director's Cut version. Lots of little things have been added or cut, but the story is the same and the best parts (the battles) have remained intact. I would have liked a Mann commentary, but from what I understand he was frustrated with the prodcution because of studio interference, so has probably since washed his hands of the film - a shame, considering how well it still holds up as a period piece today after being almost 15 years old. But Mann's always been obsessed with realism and authentic detail, and having him explain the lengths he went to for this film would have been very cool. Neverthelees, it's still great to have another grreat Mann film in my dvd library.
DVD: Not a great NTSC transfer, with the over-saturated reds of the British soldiers coats being an unfortunate stand-out. Decent enough for fans.
Summary of The Last of the Mohicans (Director's Expanded Edition)
An epic adventure and passionate romance unfold against the panorama of a frontier wilderness ravaged by war. Academy Award? winner Daniel Day-Lewis (Best Actor in 1989 for My Left Foot) stars as Hawkeye, rugged frontiersman and adopted son of the Mohicans, and Madeleine Stowe is Cora Munro, aristocratic daughter of a proud British Colonel. Their love, tested by fate, blazes amidst a brutal conflict between the British, the French and Native American allies that engulfs the majestic mountains and cathedral-like forests of Colonial America.Wildly romantic, daringly exciting, Michael Mann's film of James Fenimore Cooper's novel created a new babe magnet out of Daniel Day-Lewis, he of the heaving pecs and flowing mane. As Hawkeye, he plays an American settler raised by the Mohicans who is forced to serve as a guide for British adventurism in upstate New York. But the British have been outflanked by the French (and their Indian allies); then British honor is betrayed when a band of renegades assaults them during their retreat. Mann captures the viciousness of this era's hand-to-hand combat in startling battle scenes. But he also invests the film with heartfelt romance, as the feelings swell between Day-Lewis and Madeleine Stowe. The ending is a stunner, a long, nearly wordless sequence of battle and loss. Strong performances all around, particularly by Russell Means as Chingachgook and Wes Studi as the evil Magua. --Marshall Fine
