There is so little wrong with this film that I'll get the incidental negatives out of

the way first. The introductory moments are somewhat confusing, and it takes about

fifteen or twenty minutes to get the characters and situations straight. Madeleine

Stowe's British accent is of the "now-you-hear-it, now-you-don't" variety, although

her performance pretty much makes up for this inconsistency. Finally, the

photography surrounding the waterfall is unconvincing. Other than that, The Last of

the Mohicans is virtually flawless.

Cinematography and musical score combine in a breathtaking mosaic. Historical

accuracy has been prerved (even if the movie takes liberties with James Fenimore

Cooper's story). The battle scenes are easily the best choreographed since Glory --

there's so much going on that one viewing isn't enough to pick up on everything.

From beginning to end, there isn't a weak performance. As the bare-chested

central character, a native-raid white man named Hawkeye, Daniel Day-Lewis

shines, bringing acting acumen to the role of romantic adventure hero. Madeleine

Stowe, Richard Dreyfuss' girlfriend in Stakeout, is equally appealing as Hawkeye's

upper-class British love interest. The major characters are fully fleshed-out, and

there's more audience empathy for the minor characters here than the protagonists in

many other films. As is common in a realistic depiction of a war, very little is

absolutely good or evil.

Finally, there's the story, which, while not all that complex, is of epic nature --

big, bold, and gloriously sweeping. It's about the love of Hawkeye, the adopted

Mohican, and Cora, the daughter of a British commander stationed in America during

the mid-1700s. War and tragedy swirl around them as they struggle to find their own

kind of private solace. Bold and stirring with impeccable production values, The Last

of the Mohicans is a memorable motion picture adventure, and one of the best films of

the year.

The Last of the Mohicans is a 1992 historical epic film t in 1757 during the

French and Indian War. It was directed by Michael Mann and bad on James

Fenimore Cooper's classic novel, although it owes more to George B. Seitz's 1936

film adaptation than the source novel. The main cast includes Daniel Day-Lewis,

Madeleine Stowe, Rusll Means, Wes Studi, Eric Schweig and Jodhi May.

While the film, like the novel, is more of a historical romance, much care was

taken with recreating accurate costumes and props. The film features a Fort William

Henry reconstructed bad on historical documents. The siege of the fort is a good

reprentation of the siege warfare of the 18th century epitomized by General

Montcalm's investment of Fort William Henry and the large scale military actions that

marked the latter pha of the French and Indian War. One scene in the Director's Cut

features Heyward and a group of British Grenadiers using the classic rank and file

advance to decimate a group of French Regulars and enemy natives. This scene fairly

accurately portrays how British soldiers would have behaved in the theatre and how

effective they were in winning the war.

Col. Munro's real name was George, not Edmund. He also did not die in the

massacre but in Albany three months later. He instead fled to the forest with other

survivors and showed up at Fort Edward a few days later.

The movie implies that the Huron tribe were responsible for the massacre yet in

reality, veral tribes were involved. Other tribes included the Abenaki and Penobscot

indians. It is also implied that Magua was responsible for initiating the attack,

however, no individual person was responsible.

Montcalm did not encourage the massacre as portrayed and was said to have

been disgusted by it, but he did however cau it by not allowing his Indian allies to

take the spoils of war from the defeated English. In reality he and veral other French

officers came out of the fort towards the end of the fighting and tried to stop the

massacre. He even paid the ransom demands for some of the captives with his own

money.

Although the movie primarily focud on the same characters throughout, the

actual attack affected many more. As many as 75 soldiers and camp followers were

killed, and between 300-500 were taken captive. Another 300-500 provincials and

regulars escaped or found refuge with the French.
