Movie Reviews of The Last of the Mohicans (Director's Expanded Edition)
Movie Review: A Woodland Journey
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Last of the Mohicans" is a film which combines fine cinematography, good acting, an excellent musical score, and very well filmed battle scenes. Both the modern film and the nineteenth century novel were set in the French and Indian War and have some of the same characters. However, anyone who has read the book will quickly realize that the film is very different. That said, the movie is actually very good and an excellent tale of adventure, love, courage, and brutality. There are some historic errors (the massacre in the film looks more extensive than what actually happened and Col. Monroe actually survived the real massacre). As far as I remember, this film has relatively little cursing and no nudity. It is a very violent film, especially in its last quarter. However, the violence is realistic and actually less than some of the things which actually happened on the frontier (see some of Allan W. Eckart's books). The natural scenery (filmed in North Carolina) is beautiful and makes an ironic though scenic backdrop to the chase scenes as well as battles that occur in the film. Particullary memorable scenes include the bombardment of a British fort (Fort William Henry), a large massacre of retreating British soldiers, a canoe chase, and the final pursuit along rocky cliffs. I should mention that some of Hawkeye's shots seem a little far fetched considering rifles of the time, but that doesn't take away from the film. Overall, I enjoyed it considerably.
Summary of The Last of the Mohicans (Director's Expanded Edition)
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 FineAn 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.
