LAST OF THE MOHICANS (1992) Filming Locations | 30th Anniversary | Western North Carolina THEN & NOW

- Опубліковано 31 тра 2024
- My friend Shaun and I had a blast last summer tracking all of these locations from this incredible movie. I lost a drone, nearly lost my wedding ring, almost lost all of my lenses to water damage, and could have died. However, I would do it all over again for that amazing experience. Western North Carolina has such beautiful, natural landscapes. We ended spending about 4 days at different state parks and forests (Bridal Veil Falls, Triple Falls, Linville Falls, Chimney Rock State Park, and more!) to hunt these all down and luckily they weren't too hard to find. After the movie's release, a man named Rich Federici obsessed over the locations and found nearly all of them.

I highly recommend for any locations enthusiast!

Just fantastic, Ryan!
Thanks, Rich! Couldn’t have done it without you!
@@GoingtotheMovies Great use of the drone!
Hey Rich. Miss you buddy.
@@erica.hurley8270 Miss you too, bro. Miss me, as well! 😀
Thanks! We went to the area of the last scene in the movie (“the chimneys”?) and couldn’t find the exact spot. I was going to send up the drone to search for it, but it started raining and then got dark on us. Hopefully, I can go back one day and hit that one and a couple others I missed.
Last of the Mohicans was my summer job in 1991. I spent about 25 days as an extra for the Albany, Ft. William Henry and "Massacre Valley" scenes. We trained in the Asheville area with Capt. Dale Dye for a week or so and we on set every day for almost a month after. Any scene with massed infantry had me in there somewhere. :-) Great memories.
Very good memories! Lucky you 👏👍
Wow that is awesome!! That is one hell of an accomplishment for such a grand scale movie like this.
Great memories for sure and must have been so cool. Did you get to meet most of the leads and keep your gear? That would've been a bonus for story time with the grand kids. Cool story
@jameslusco7256 I met all the leads, they ranged from aloof to very friendly. Wes Studi and Eric Sweig were both very cool, as was Steven Waddington. I didn't get to "keep" any of the props but my step-dad bought me one of the Brown Bess muskets from the production company once filming was over, still have it.
Cool! So was I..
My favorite film of all time. Saw it when I was a kid and still watch it at 27. And I'm lucky to live 30 minutes away from Chimney Rock in Asheville NC. In the summer we swim in the river and fish for trout. Beautiful land thank you for this
Beautiful land, indeed! Thank you for watching, Bret!
I saw it as a kid I remember when it was out in theaters I was to young to watch it in the movie theater, so it was a blockbuster Movie night for me. Circa 1994.
I remember watching this at a friends house in 93, I was 19 or so….. His family had some money and had an amazing Entertainment Room. We had “smoked a bit of nature” and watched this movie…. I was UTTERLY BLOWN AWAY with the Filmography, sound, and amazing acting of this film. I remember walking home after that movie, and I could not stop thinking about it!! I’m now almost 49 and I STILL GET THAT SAME SENSE OF AMAZEMENT when I watch this absolute GEM of a Movie. Great Storytelling!
It had such an impact on me, that Ive trained for 30 yrs in axe/knife combination hand to hand combat.
One of my all time favorites. Was in high school when it came out. One of the best soundtracks in my opinion. I plan on going to the Biltmore some day and surrounding country, stunning. Really great video sir, job well done. Cheers!
This is a movie worth obsessing over. One of the most perfect movies ever made and it will be ageless.
Just don’t do what I did and read about the mistakes, now every time I watch it (which is regular cause I’m obsessed) they jump out at me and I can’t unsee them 😢. The director was apparently a real perfectionist and checked every minor detail a million times but he was told to stop part way through due to time and budget and then the mistakes started.
I cry every time. Such a beautiful film. I love the scenes but the Soundtrack is mesmerizing! This movie is on my top five list!♥️
Heartbreaking film. I cdnt stop crying at the end. Loved the actors. ❤
I saw this in the theater with my dad (I was 11). He didn't want to leave the theater until he knew where it was filmed. This memory has stuck with me. Over the years my fondness for this film just grows. Love the soundtrack, filming locations, and Wes Studi performance is the best villain ever. Thank you for making this. I hope to make a trip to these locations soon.
Absolutely awesome. After 30 years the landmarks are still there. Thank you for sharing guys. I was 24 when this film was released. No computer enhanced backdrops, all natural. Great movie.
Bar none, this is pretty much one of my all time favorite movies! I was born and raised in upstate, New York and I have lived in North Carolina for 30 years now. This movie has always checked all the boxes for me with the beautiful NC scenery, the action, cinematography, romance, hero's journey and the story of the French and Indian War that partly took place in New York State. I grew up learning about the various Native American Tribes from New York State and from Canada. The history and the courage of the indigenous people and early settlors really stuck with me. Plus, I did my own "scouting" trip with my family back here in NC around 1995 to see where the movie "Last of the Mohicans" had been filmed including many of the prime locations/scenes. You did a great job overlaying the present video clips with the ones from the movie and the drone footage and other video clips are really stunning, just like the movie.
Thanks for a thoroughly enjoyable video. You did a really great job. We Americans should appreciate and protect our truly beautiful country! (Canada too) The scenery was breathtaking, which I loved about the movie, including, of course, the beauty of Hawkeye/Daniel Day Lewis. Thank you. Keep it coming...
Thank you so much! Agreed, we have some incredible natural landscapes here that can be taken for granted sometimes.
You're an educator too. Documenting and sharing pieces of history, moments, and memories. Thank you. 👍❤
I used to own a cabin in SW North Carolina and have visited many of these areas. It's stunningly beautiful. Now I have to watch the movie again.
I have to put the movie on every time it crosses my mind! 😆 It must have been amazing living there
The best cinematography ever done!
Eric Schweig who played the handsome Uncas also played the evil witch doctor Pesh-Chidin in "The Missing" with Tommy Lee Jones and Cate Blanchard. One of the more startling transformations of an actor I've ever seen in film.
He’s one of my favorites in LoTM! Wish they’d left more of the scenes in with him and Alice
Yeah it took me a while realize it was him...!
Love love this movie. Never tire of this
Hey guys! We filmed this last summer and I finally got around to editing it. Hope you you like it! Check www.mohicanpress.com for the guide book on the locations!
Got here from Scott on Tape, I have spent alot of time over the past 20 years in Chimney Rock and have seen alot of these locations as well as Linville Falls. Linville Falls is breath taking and just shows off God's handy work!! Fantastic video!!!
Thanks, Chris!! Scott is the man. So much natural beauty in that area! Can't wait to go back!
One of, if not, the best movies ever made.
Am from the area. Deal with company was they demolished the fort and built that superb boat landing. LKJ has really gentrified since then, multimillion dollar homes around the lake. Was also filmed for the lake backdrop in the final scene of Hunt for Red October.
The 'cutoff' mountain behind the lake is Short off, where the Linville Gorge ends. LKJ is filled by the Linville River. Was so proud LOTM was filmed in my home area.
Really amazing area there! I wish I'd had time to match up more of the shots from when the canoes took off. Gives me a good reason to visit again one day!
@@GoingtotheMovies My grandparents remembered them building the dam after a catastrophic flood in 1916. My grandma stood on a hill on NC 181 looking over the flooded river bottom where they lived. Our church had several members who fought at Kings MTN.
An enjoyable video. I have loved watching the Last of the Mohicans movie ever since it was released. You did a great job finding the locations and lining them up for your comparison shots. The entire film locations are all beautiful. Great job!
They really were beautiful locations! Sometimes locations don’t live up to expectations but every single one of the spots from LotM exceeded any and all! Truly amazing and I’m glad I get to share the experience we had!
OMG, i loved the video. I have always had this movie in the back of my mind as i hike, visit and canoe the adirondacks ny. truely my favorite movie. great job.
Thanks, Doc! Hopefully I can find some more locations with hikes. I burned some calories making this one!
One of my all time favorite movies. The cinematography and costumes just complete the perfection of it. My son who is 15 was named for Cameron in the movie. We were just at the Biltmore Estate and in the Carolinas after Christmas, and I had no idea it was a location in this movie! It is a small world.
I completely agree, Edward! And, the Biltmore is amazing. I want to tour the home next time I’m in the area, but I was too busy sneaking around the grounds on this trip 😆
This brings back memories. I grew up in this area but left 30 years ago. Moved to the Rocky Mountains. Both are breathtaking. I sometimes miss the lush forests especially in the fall when the leaves change colors. Lots of fun times.
We lived on Shumont Mountain above Bat Cave and Chimney Rock. I was lucky enough to meet the photographers at lunch one day and offered to show them some beautiful places nearby outside of Chimney Rock park. We had a fun day traipsing around Shumont up to Eagle Rock and Devil's Thumb and down in the side valley off route 9 along the river. I don't know if they ever used any of the sites, but they knew where to go if they needed them.
Bridal Veil Falls has been one of my favorite places to visit. I ride the mountain bike trails frequently and try to stop there. Been behind the falls quite a few times.
‘No matter what happens, I will find it’. In describing the waterfall scene. Nice Easter egg.
Couldn’t help myself 😂
My favorite movie of all time!
The wilderness scenes of this movie make it the BEST High Definition movie to get!!!
I have pictures of North Carolina that are Fantastic!!!
I hope they give it a 4K release soon!
@@GoingtotheMovies There isn’t any movie like those scenes!
G'Day From Australia,
Thanks for locating and filming these "Last of the Mohicans" locations. This movie, along with "Jeremiah Johnson", are two movies that I can never tire of watching. Have subscribed.
Cheers,
Steve
In the top 10 of my favorite movies
Loved working on that film. Great memories. Thank you for the video. I still visit there time to time. 🙂
I bet that was an amazing experience! Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@GoingtotheMovies I was one of the British soldiers and probably died around a good 7 times. Late nights and hot days. I'll never trade those memories. 🙂
Though filmed in NC this film and soundtrack always gives me goosebumps when I think about how much I love the Adirondacks for its natural beauty and history.
Going to the Movies : My father had a first cousin, Angus, who lived in Tampa, Florida. Angus and his wife Judy, used to own property near where some of this movie was filmed. They're no longer with us. We had an ancestor, Frederick Williams, who was from Duplin County, North Carolina. Frederick fought for the colonies in the American Revolution. This movie was the last movie my wife and I saw together. Great movie. North Carolina is a beautiful state. Northern Florida is turning into a desert. They're cutting down all the broad leaf, hard wood forests. That's what provides the air we breathe, the broad leaf, hard wood forests.
I live about 30 minutes from Hickory Nut Gorge. Went there so so many times. I remember going to see LotM in the theater as an 11 year old kid. This just made me want to watch it again. Haven't seen it in 20 years probably.
One of the best movies ever.
Definitely one of my top 10 all time films!
Thank you, gentlemen, for producing this excellent exploration into one of the most memorable films ever made!
The green open area across Hickory Nut Gorge from the waterfall was the site of the Huron village. I hiked there, probably in 1995. I was amazed to find the village pretty much as it was in the film except for weeds growing in it. My visit was prior to cell phone cameras, so all I have are the memories.
It must’ve been amazing to come across that set still standing! I would’ve loved to have seen it
Thank you very much - it was a fantastic and beautiful sight. I still watch this film once every couple of years, and the disc with the music for it lies on the shelf and is not covered with dust. And as 30 years ago, so now tears well up in my eyes - looking at the sad ending of the film. Thanks again for reminding me about the beautiful views of this film. I hope someday I can afford to walk through these beauties myself. When the WAR ends in Ukraine, and I will have a decent and well-paid job. For now, I'll look at it through your eyes.
What a wonderful comment to read today. I hope you get the chance to see these spots one day, my friend!
I’ve been wanting to visit these locations for 30 years, finally going to this area next month. Fantastic video, very helpful!
Just found your comment. I hope that it was as wonderful as you expected it to be!
@@TropicLuv It’s a beautiful area - well worth a visit!
@@SR-ob3wnI love the Southern Blue Ridge Escarpment region. There are many incredible natural features that even locals often don't know about. The Whitewater River slot canyon (sculpted falls is gorgeous and unique), Paradise Falls in Tuckaseegee, the largest cliff in the eastern U.S. near Cashiers (can be seen from Lonesome Valley), and so much more.
Our favorite movie, what an excellent video.
Thank you so much!! 🙏
Today my wife and I went to Chimney Rock, watched Last of the Mohicans, and then watched this video. A++++! Great work! I love how you overlay the shot with the location!
Thank you so much for this video. It was beautiful. This movie is my #1 of all my favorites. I am today still in love and follow at least 6 of the main characters. 👍💕
Such a great movie! Thank you for watching the video!
You did an AMAZING JOB... in all the effort to visit the locations, and in your editing to align the movie clips to actual locations. You deserve to get a million views on this one -- and since it's "evergreen" perhaps you will.
I’m just hoping to hit the 100,000 mark! Thanks so much, Illinois Channel TV 🙏! Glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful, ..amazing underrated movie…look at the sites…beautiful..
I will find it..I will find you..good stuff..
Simply Wonderful!!! Great Job! I travelled back when I first watched it. Thanks.
One of my favorite movies. Thanks for the review of the scenes, they are so beautiful.
Thanks for the great location re-caps. This is the reason I moved to Asheville, NC. I had visited a few times, then watched the movie and noticed all the familiar locations in the movie credits. I especially love the shots at Tripple Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. The only shot I wish you would have gotten was the scene where they are hiking up the side of High Falls in Dupont State Park. Don't let the ranger catch you doing that...they'll kick you out for sure. I found that out the hard way after many ascents. 🙈
Movie making was pretty much in its infancy when this movie was made in NC , so there were not a lot of people supporting the infrastructure. A good friend of mine ran the construction company that built the sets, including the fort, I think he also handled catering and did payroll for the movie. After the movie came out on DVD, we were out sailing and watched the movie and he told us where and how everything was done. The actor and actress that fell off the mountain was all green screen. They were not on location as it would have been too dangerous to have them fall on that location.
Daniel Day Lewis, was a method actor. If memory serves, he arrived early for the movie and camped the way his character would have done. I don’t think he mingled to much as he didn’t want to get out of character.
My friend do mention that the fort was incredible and he was given a plaque by the cast and crew for the incredible fort he built. I gather it was pretty realistic.
As many have said, this is one of my favorite movies, not because of the story but because every scene is like a painting. I’ve lived in NC all my life and feel blessed that I live in a place of such natural beauty from the mountains to the sea.
I grew up in Virginia right near the state line. I always loved going to North Carolina. There are so many different areas in the state that are beautiful, but I don't think anything can beat those mountains. It must have been amazing working on LotM back when they did!
My old stomping grounds! The scenes for Fort McHenry and the French/Indian Camp were shot on Lake James. Back in the 60s, my grandparents assisted the Warrens in running Linville River Boat Dock, which is now a private community of mobile homes on the lake. It is adjacent to the fort site. My grandparents lived there in a mobile home, and I played in that area from the time I was a toddler. When I was five years old, my parents took over Mimosa Boat Landing on Lake James, and I lived my life on the lake until I joined the military when I was 20 years old. This was literally my back yard, and many of the other locations are well known to the locals, and we're all familiar with these places. I was deployed overseas when they filmed the movie, but I came home on leave and got to see the Fort before they tore it down. The mountain you see from the lake, that kind of rounds off on the end and drops straight down is called Shortoff Mountain. My buddy and I used to ride dirt bikes up Wolf Pit Road to get up the mountain. The road starts near where the fort was located. I've hiked some of the trails up in the Linville Gorge and I've been to the Linville Falls. For the movie, they covered the asphalt road with dirt. The old burned out ribs of a ship that you see in the movie, were right there on the shore just next to the public access boat ramp, near that small island. It was still there also when I was home on leave. It was rather exciting for us to have that movie filmed in our back yard. Another movie that was filmed nearby was "The Hunger Games". District 12 was literally filmed on the road where my sister lives, just a few miles away, in Hildebran, NC.
I can’t imagine how cool it would have been to grow up there. There are so many hiking trails, waterfalls, and geographic features. It was just such an amazing place to be.
That's so amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Guys thank you for this amazing video. I'm halfway across the world and I'll probably never set foot in north Carolina but to see the locations of this classic is really really cool
Thank YOU for watching, Dizinii! NC has so many cool places to visit!
I am so glad I found this. I have nothing else to do but surf the internet while I wait for cOvid to pass. This is my favorite movie. You, sir, are a hero. Now I have some hikes planned with the kids and my drone.
Hopefully, you got through the covid ok! Enjoy those hikes and views!
Wow! Just....wow! Each video seems to be better then the last as this was absolutely amazing!!!
I just love this movie. I do not get tired of it🥰
Thank you for this I was under the impression that it all took place in upstate New York. I always loved the scenery of this movie and everything else about it. The book is somewhat interesting too but Daniel Day Lewis, and all of the other actors really brought it to life.
I agree, Gayle! And, the music is a big part of it too, in my opinion!
@@GoingtotheMovies I just went back to edit out the unintended word which was meant to read as "book."
I love this movie
Same here, Bartosz!
I love this movie! Ever since it came out.
You did a great job. Thanks.
My favourite movie still....👍❤ - 2023 ✌️
One of the greatest epics produced
Agreed!
Maybe the best sequence in film history at the end, unforgettable.
Another excellent job. I spent every summer in that area visiting my Dad , he lived in Hendersonville NC. We used to go to Chimney Rock all the time . 👍🏼
Thank you! It’s an incredible area. Like a different world there!
@@GoingtotheMovies You could ‘ve done a few episodes in that area. They filmed Hunger Games near there and the Lift in the Lake from Dirty Dancing 😂
Locations look so much like Yosemite, where I vacationed as a kid, and lived and worked summers during college. A fave movie
Yosemite is another place I’d love to visit, Mary!
Thank you! I loved hiking there 24 years ago. This is one of my all time favorites! great job:)
AMAZING JOB GUYS!!!
I hope one day I can visit that paradise
Regards from Spain ❤
I hope so too! Hope I can visit Spain one day soon!
Loved the movie and have lived my entire life NC - within a reasonable drive of all those locations!
You live in an amazing place, dap!
I live in Asheville now. This movie made me fall in love with this place. Visited twice and eventually moved here.
It is breathtaking!
I grew up in Bolton Landing, NY on the shores of Lake George. These locations are almost as gorgeous as the places they are based on. 2/3 of the eastern shore of Lake George are designated forever Wild by NYS constitution
Wow, what gorgeous country we have here in America 🇺🇸
Very true, Thomas!
Absolutely Beautiful
Thank you 😊 guys
One of my fave movies
Epic work you guys! I wish I could travel to the states and just explore your amazing country. I live in Sweden.
Come on over! I want to explore Sweden! Ingmar Bergman is one of my favorites
As a kid I have been to the Huron village, I believe I was 17 which would have been 1997 and it was still there in tact, over grown a bit but all there. There was a gem/pan for gold place in the chimney rock city. The old man charged us and we went hiking. You could hike straight up the mountain and get there. Supposedly there is also an Indian burial ground up there 2 which we never found. There is a spring and another waterfall which is very cool on that side of the mountain.
I would have loved to have seen that! It’s too bad they didn’t keep up with everything. So many great hiking spots in the area!
@@GoingtotheMovies Grandfather had a house at Buena Vista Dr. There is a way to get to the hickory nut falls, I have been on it pre condemned trail. It was awesome. I'll try to remember other cool things worth looking for.
I hiked there too, probably around 1995. I was amazed to find the village pretty much as it was in the film except for weeds growing in it. My visit was prior to cell phone cameras, so all I have are the memories.
Beautiful!! They really did a great job capturing the essence of the Adirondacks.
It was mind blowing to be there, Sue!
Oh this was wonderful. Thank you so much for taking the time to produce this content.
One of MY FAVORITE movies. Thank YOU!
I live in Mills River, by the Asheville Airport
Beautiful
Maravilloso video gracias 👌😃👌😃
Awesome work, finding all this locations.
Thank you!!
I’ve always loved that movie. Now I’m 43 and my 3 sons love that movie even more😊
It’s so good, Chris!
Thank you! This was very nostalgic trip down the memory lane...
OMG! I am a super fan of this movie. It came out when I was 14 and spurred on my love of all things that go into movie making. This is one of the best scores of all time in my opinion which really makes the movie. Thank you for doing this tour. I live on the west coast, so this is amazing to watch. Thank you!
Thank you very much for filming this!! INCREDIBLE!!
Thank YOU, David!
Great video. Movie was amazing. And the soundtrack was also classic.
Very nice! Thank you so much!
Best Wishes to you & Uncas,
Eric Schweig! He is great!
Lot's of Love! ❤️💐
Realy realy amazing mate, I remember when this movie came out back than....now in 2023 I still have it on dvd.....and you made a vid about the locations 30 y later ....amazing man, back in the day I was so hyped.....so hyped....now beeing almost 40 now......still amazes me....and I do still watch the movie believe it or not......from small boy to 40....and watching this....bring back ol memories omfg...greatings from the Netherlands....ur the best! I so understand why you did this trip....omg
Thank you so much guys for all the effort, finally, filming locations for my favorite movie. Fan from Christchurch New Zealand.
Thanks, L Naf! I need to come do a certain video in your neck of the woods!
Excellent Investigation! This film was the last of it's kind. They don't make 'em like this anymore!
Timeless great movie. Thanks!
Amazing work! I recently came across this video after re-watching LotM. One of my all time favorites. But it was a bit disappointing as I mistakenly thought the movie was filmed in the Adirondacks in upstate NY. Which is equally beautiful and as breathtaking as North Carolina. No matter the movie was great, the scenery is fantastic and it only enforces in me an appreciation for how blessed we Americans are with the abundance of outdoor and natural gifts. Let’s all make sure to appreciate what we have and be good stewards for future generations to come.
I completely agree, msioug. We have incredible landscapes here! I believe they filmed in NC because it was less developed or had less resorts or something. I’d love to go to the real Adirondacks one day!
@@GoingtotheMovies In my comment above I mentioned I had read that the director or who ever makes the decision thought the NY mountains hadn't recovered enough from the excessive logging in the past. From what I've read though there is no shortage of waterfalls in NY.
The “mountain range” you point out in the background at about 15 minutes is actually the southern most rim of linville gorge down stream from the falls. Backpacked the gorge half dozen times in the 1970’s and 80’s. The gorge is especially beautiful in an ice storm. 😏
Wow, that must be incredible to see! Its funny, many of the locations are somewhat close as the crow flies, but driving around the mountains adds quite a bit of time.
@@GoingtotheMovies trying to sleep in a cold wet tent was no fun but it was worth the sights. And yep it is hard getting a to b in the mountains as you found out.
Beautiful country ☺ Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching!
Excellent work, Kind Sir! You keep getting better and better! We were just at Linville in Aug. 2018 and Biltmore in Dec. 2019 and saw some of those and ofcourse the Downton Abbey exhibit. :)
Thank you, my friend! Such an incredible area. I wanted to make it down there for the Downton exhibit so badly! Hopefully, I can get out to Highclere Castle one day…
@@GoingtotheMovies It was wonderful and a tip if you go on the night time Christmas tour. Take pictures of the tree first because they're off when you get out lol! But, luckily you can return the next day which we used for Downton and it was fabulous! We'd love to go to Highclere someday, too! : Great job finding your ring and protecting the camera btw!🤘😊
It was so weird seeing Wes Studi in a suit as a cop in ‘Heat’ after this movie. Maugua is one of the best villains of all time.
He really is, Deja Voodoo!
Grew up hiking Linville Falls trails. Was on Lake James not long after the movie and saw the remains of the fort before they tore it down and replanted trees....Still live 20 mins. from Chimney Rock state park, cruise thru the town of Lake Lure(Dirty Dancing) and Chimney Rock a couple times a month... Awesome Video!!
Thanks, Tim! I would have loved to have seen that set. I bet it was incredible.
Great movie 🎬 and I salute folks like you who do these vids.
Was always disappointed nothing was filmed in NY, especially Fort William Henry and or anything around Lake George.
Cheers 🍷
Just wow, just WOW…wonderful…this was the best..take care..
Thanks for posting this is so interesting
Great presentation and tour. I worked for one of the 2nd Set military directors and have been to almost all the sites then, and have brought my wife and daughter to most of them on vacation drives. I now live just below the NC line in the mountains below Murphy.
I do miss the Fort William Henry set. I wished they left it up, but it would be a dangerous feature and have no significance to the park.
I have to content myself with Fort Loudon and Tellico Blockhouse in Vanore.
Thank you! This was excellent. Very interesting and well done🙂
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank, Nicholas!
The ambush scene after they all left the first was also filmed at the Biltmore Estate 👍👍. One of my fave ever movies, the end ten minutes combo of visuals and music is just masterful.
Amazing work guys 👏👏👏 the determination and incredible to get it done.
Makes you appreciate the movie even more. Especially what the cast and production crew had to do to get it filmed.
