    I was with Russell Means when he made a phone call from a payphone at our local TV station in Cleveland, Ohio. He wanted to contact his agent. When he hung up the phone he jumped up and down and said “I got the part, I got the part!’” His long leather coat and his long braids were flapping in the air as he jumped for joy. Little did I know that the movie was going to be The Last of the Mohicans.
    Thank you for these interesting videos on the making of the movie. They are greatly appreciated. I am a woman Navy Wave Vietnam Era Veteran and I appreciate the incredible hand to hand combat scenes in the movie. My grandma Eliza was a full-blooded Cherokee Indian. I have an ancestor who escaped the Cherokee Trail of Tears. That is why I am alive today. The location and the incredible work that everyone had done to make this film is deeply appreciated. I thank you from my heart. A timeless classic has been made.

      I've had someone explain all the lack of originality in books and movies nowdays to me. in book publishing, unless you are already famous ( a Steven King or JK Rowling) publishers agree to publish your book if THEY get the later rights to movies and merchandising. after a few times of this, people quit trying to publish, or they go to tiny publishers. In movies, you present an original script, the good ol' boys only work with people they already know. so they bring in a known script writer to redo and modify YOUR script, and either then put their name first, so people take notice of it, or you get left off altogether. Again, people quit trying to present original stuff.

    I also have to say about that score: As long as I have been hiking and treking various wilderness locations, each time I come to a breathtaking vast open view there is exactly one bit of music that fires off in my head as my internal soundtrack. It's that moment the entire orchestra builds into the theme. Over 20 years it almost never fails.

    Unlike the book, the movie presented Magua, not as so much as a villain, but an adversary. He was my favorite character. I've been an outdoorsman involved in historical reenacting for 40 years and this movie captured the period like no other I have ever seen, but this was not history and should not be viewed as such. This was theater in a historical context with absolutely stunning scenery as a backdrop. It was a magnificent artistic creation.

    Brilliant cast, the very best! Day Lewis, Studi, Means, Schweig, Stowe, May, Roeves & Waddington. Exquisite music, one of my top 10.
    And yet, amidst the main story of war, the British & French, the Native Americans and Hawkeye and Cora. There is also the story of the love of father and son, Chingachgook and Uncas and Hawkeye too. But on a deeper level, there is the lightning quick and yet profound love story between Uncas and Alice. When the heroic brave Uncas dies trying to save Alice, it is so distressing. But when the brave Alice steps off the cliff, backwards, sacrificing her life too; for Uncas, the man who she loved...is absolutely heartbreaking. They did not have the luxury of speaking, nor being together like Hawkeye and Cora. But through their amazing acting you felt their love was just as palpable. It's in my top ten of movies, up in the top 3 actually. 5 stars,

    Most movies have a great deal of background and foundation work, if you will. Then there is an epic film such as "The Last of the Mohicans". Seeing this 3-part documentary really conveys the depth, breadth and length of research and recreation necessary to accurately portray the expanse of this film. Dante Spinotti's cinematography is breath-taking, and Trevor Jones' score is outstanding. Michael Mann's insistence on perfection pays dividends that movie lovers will enjoy for decades to come. The actors become their characters, and their performances leave an indelible stamp upon our minds. Kudos to all for this stupendous achievement.

    That moment when the blonde sister, contemplating her fate with Magua, adopts a peculiar look of serenity, and simply leans back over the abyss and plummets out of sight-WOW.
    30 years on, it’s still emotional to recall that moment, which is both agonizing and strangely beautiful, in its own terrible way.
    Only film, and a great director, can give you that moment. The actor’s instinct in the moment, the brilliant slow blurring of her falling body, becoming something like spirit before our eyes, then replaced in the frame with only thin air - WOW.
    And that was just ONE moment in a film full of them !
    What a true work of art on every level.

      The entire character of Alice is a type and foreshadow of my love life... And Uncas, desire, devotion, unspoken, yet deeper than any could imagine. So tragic. Pure loss and pure regret. Not to mention bad timing and fated to doom and misery and death. Sad? Yeah. I know, I've lived it. But the romance and poetry of the way her character was depicted... and the loss and relationship and so many things so much greater than her controlled her and her destiny. Uncas and Alice were fated to never love. That is the true tragedy. That is how I feel such connection and relatability to their plight.

    Jesus Christ I love this film... it is my favorite film of all times... The actors are incrediable, the soundtrack perfect the director view of the entire context is simply marvelous , we may say this film is old but still it can touch the hearts of many around the world, specially us, americans; despite of being from South America, I can feel the conflit of the natives and the europeans and from that conflit a new thing came about , and it was the america colonised and it gave birth to a new identity, no longer native and neither european. Throughtout history of mankind it has happened so many times, the celts gave away to the romans, the romans to the germanic and etc.. this film is a vivid representation of this period of transmutation and it also shows how ephemeral life can be but at the same time it is so meaninful and adventurous...

    The greatest act of physical and mental courage was called "counting coup". To run out alone, to touch the enemy warrior, and to run away without yourself being killed, was the highest honor in many native cultures. Killing from a distance was not as esteemed as touching your enemy. The scene where the lone warrior ran from the woods then killing the English soldier was such an example.

    The film is art. Art lasts forever. It was an astutely cast ensemble, well trained, and a set of finely trained, multiple-tasking extras. Dialogue was superb. Special effects were seemingly authentic and colorfully appealing. as with weaponry, costumes were more authentic than any I've ever seen in a film, myself being a life-long movie buff, now at age 80. I, being a nit picker re: film continuity, saw only 4 small flubs in the film, along with one too stagey scene. The theme music was hauntingly 18th century: a work so yearning in its story and telling a different story to each listener. The use of natural lighting was astonishing to the eye. You're not supposed to compare works of art to other works of art, but this film is as artistic as China Town. A thank you to every single person who participated in producing this piece of art.
