Last of the Mohicans
After years of being on my to-see list, I finally got around to seeing it... I understand why so many people feel it's a must-see film. It's pretty amazing.
The music was one of the best elements of the film, in my opinion. I was disappointed that it only won one Oscar, for sound. Any other LotM fans out there? |

I couldn't agree more. The music was outstanding. Madeleine Stowe (was soooooooooo beautiful in that film) and Daniel Day-Lewis did a fabulous job. I have recommended it to everyone I know. Great, great movie.

Daniel Day-Lewis was bad-ass as he always is. That was an excellent film.

Really good movie, the book is cool too, but Hawkeye is such a more badass name than Natty Bumpoo (or whatever it is). More than likely the only time I ever cheered for the British in a 18th century based movie.

We watched a portion of it in my history class. I really liked it so I went out and bought the dvd. LINES WERE MISSING FROM THE DVD VERSION. for example: Daniel day lewis didnt say " we're going to have a major disagreament one day." among others. whats up with that.

AWESOME FUCKING FILM!
Reasons- Music by Clannad. The scene where he (Day-Lewis) is running up mountainsides with the music 'No Matter Where You Go I Will Find You' is unforgetable. Characters- That Duncan character seems like your usual unlikeable badguy, but as the movie progresses you realise he isnt all that bad really- and really quite brave etc. I really loved Madeline Stowe in this, she is really beliveable. She is sexy in an old-worldish chaste type way too. Day-Lewis is a giant what more can i say about him. The setting- Well its simply beautiful. Historical accuracy- I think they tried really hard to get the English mixed US accent right in the film. Its those types of things that make the differeance. I really loved this film.
