Hey all! I've started a new dedicated movie reaction channel, check it out if you want to see any of my movie reactions going forward: www.youtube.com/@mikewatchesstuff
The braid in Alice's hair was done by Uncas, as a type of bond to each other. Alice fell off if the cliff for her love of Uncas.
Yes! I wish more people noticed that. It wasn't there at the waterfall but there at the cliff scene.
This movie left a lasting impression on so many of us, not only because of the superb acting, but the scenes and music was awesome and hard to forget...masterpiece.
Daniel Day-Lewis had already won his first Best Actor Academy Award for “My Left Foot” when this film was released. So, he was already an accomplished actor. But, “Last of the Mohicans” brought him up to greater superstar status.
I was about to say that. Ironically for me it's the one oscar I think he shouldn't have won. I say ironically because I just watched few good men reaction & I felt Tom Cruise should have won for Born on the 4th of July
And gangs of New York
@@ryankelly8966 he didn't win for that & Gangs of new york came out years later in 2002. he was nominated but Adrian brody won however if I had my choice I thought Jack should have won his 4th oscar for About Schmidt
Uncas doesn’t wait because that’s the kind of thing you do when you’re in love…. I love how the women understand why he went after her and the men are clueless lol. And if you look at the landscape he needed to get there before it got too steep and they couldn’t get to her. Alice also didn’t know any more help was coming. That sequence gets me every time. The look on her face before she jumps😢I always hope for a different ending every time I watch this
I know! He was simply desperate to get to her.
This is my type of romance movie.
And men who react to this always say "why didn't Alice wait, she could have still been saved!" No, she couldn't be saved. She might have kept her life, but Alice is innocence and love personified. When both of those died, so did she.
It's the look on Magua's face that gets me in that scene. He seems so puzzled.
@@larindanomikos . It's something I have felt in my life..wanting to love ..only having screwed up things that get in the way..maybe because of my own mistakes partially.
Uncus didn't wait because...well...girl. He just couldn't wait to try and save her.
plus, no cell phone reception up in the mountains, so they couldn't coordinate their attack...
@@luvlgs1😂😂😂
This film is in my top five favorite movies!!! It was the first R film I ever saw as a child (my parents were ok with that because it was historical lol) It has a fantastic score as well-we had the cassette tape and would listen to it on road trips (along with a Best of James Bond cassette lol)
I think it’s the second best war movie ever made.
1.Platoon
2.Last of the Mohicans
3. Full Metal Jacket
4. All Quiet on the Western Front
5. Band of Brothers, HBO series
My best friend and I used to play the soundtrack on cassette when we would grab a canoe and row around the Everglades on camping trips.
You just described my childhood exactly….ah the 90’s
As you heard, the Huron Sachem has much respect for Le Longue Carabine. He is known throughout the indigenous world for his skill with the long rifle, and his integrity..
Best reaction to this movie, I've seen. This is one of my all time fav movie.
I always lament about Uncas not waiting for his brother and father. I get the impression, Uncas felt like his brother got his woman, Cora, out of an almost impossible feet.
Maybe Uncas felt it was his job to get his woman, Alice, out of a impossible situation, himself. Since Uncas was younger than Hawkeye, maybe he was thinking with his heart, not his head.
Remember the scene when they found their murdered friends and Hawkeye put a comforting hand on Uncas when Uncas lowered his head? It gave me the impression, Uncas was not able to control his emotional reactions and think as rational. As the way, the older brother Hawkeye is able to do.
And like you, I always feel a compassion for Major Heyward after he sacrifices his life for Cora's happiness. It led me to see the movie from his POV when I saw it again.
From the moment we meet Major Heyward he is looking at the miniature of Cora. It led me to think he stared at it constantly. Plus, she wasnt even his girl and he has that of her. Very telling to how head over heels in love with her, he was.
And I remember his desolation when Cora finally told him no. His "I see" was so empty of life.
Then to see this Hawkeye, who was a deserter in his opinion, get Cora's love, well I am sure Heyward wanted to kill Hawkeye.
I loved the look in Hawkeye's face after shooting Heyward, ending his suffering. Daniel Day Lewis was outstanding in showing his emotions at Heyward's sacrifice.
So I immediately subscribed to your channel, (which it takes a lot for me to subscribe), because your great comments and emotions in your reaction.
I was 11 when this came out. It was practically my Dad's favorite, and I really liked it but as I got old enough to understand the story, it was amazing and the movie still looks so good today. Holds up 30 years later.
My Dad use to rock this soundtrack on C.D. constantly 🤣
Same! My mother loved the soundtrack. I saw the movie in the theater. At the time I didn’t entirely understand what was going on. As an adult, it is one of my favorites.
I’ve listened to this soundtrack along with the glory soundtrack since I’ve as a kid to get to sleep. Beautiful soundtracks!!!
My compliments sir! Take her and get out!
To answer your question about the fur placed on the cannons, while bombarding fort William Henry the French cannons would overheat so they would be covered with wet furs to cool them. Loved this movie since I was a kid because it more than any other film or show made in NC(my homestate), showed the beauty of the blue ridge mountains. This movie could just be panoramas and the soundtrack and I'd love it.
Thank you for that explanation! And North Carolina, very nice choice for them to film, every location looked beautiful
Maybe had a little to do with overheating but the wet furs were put over the fuse holes after each shot to extinguish any sparks or embers before reloading the powder and ball for next shot. Preventing the powder from exploding prematurely. Watch any cannon reenactment and they also have a bucket of water and basically a sponge on a ramrod that they wet and jam down the barrel in between shots. You know so you don't kill the guys loading it. Lol
I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains in NC where this was filmed so so beautiful
Daniel Day Lewis, who is noted for being probably the most committed actor of all time, spent about a year before filming and during filming living as someone who was an outdoorsman would in that period.
He lived completely outdoors, hunted all his food using a bow or a musket, wore only the clothing of the period and learned to use a tomahawk and build native American canoes.
Apparently he spent so much time outdoors that after the film was finished he suffered with major anxiety trying to readjust to living indoors.
This is my favorite movie of all time. Music, acting, action, everything!! It’s just beautiful!! Glad you watched it.
Your point about a more modern way of fighting is an interesting one. The French Indian War really saw the development of the Light Infantryman in European armies developed by people such as Robert Rogers and learning lessons from the Native warriors and how they fought. This style of soldier would ultimately develop into the modern infantryman as tactics moved away from the big pitched battles of the 18th and 19th century.
Fantastic film, one of my favourites for so many reasons
Uncas was young and impulsive and in love. He just acted, he didn't think and wait. Very brave but so sad.
Great movie! I like to put this film in historical perspective with the following:
1. The Patriot - 2000 ( takes place 1776 Charleston, South Carolina )
2. Last of The Mohicans - 1992 ( takes place 1757 Upstate colonial New York )
3. The Mission - 1986 ( takes place 1750 Argentina/Paraguay Igauza Falls )
I, and many of my fellow reenactors, was in The Patriot.
So So many anachronisms !!!
Exploding artillery shells
Women in sleeveless dresses
Public displays of affection
Etc Etc.
Regarding the opening hunt scene this is from the group that supervised it; "This scene was filmed in cuts. The deer was filmed separately and the actor's aiming the rifle and shooting were filmed on a different day. The real elk was not pursued in any manner but merely filmed running from A to B within a fenced area. At the point where the elk is shot, a taxidermied elk mounted on a dolly on a track, was used. The taxidermied elk was pulled on the dolly in such a manner that when it reached the end of the track, it tumbled. The same taxidermied elk is used again in the scene where Hawkeye and the two Indians take their kill to the settler's cabin for dinner."
I don't know if they have edited it out but back before there were film "editions" being released every other years, the original movie contained several bloopers. One of those was during the deer hunt scene. A man wearing an orange vest and hat can be seen releasing or herding the deer to run in a certain direction. It was really quick but if u paused it at the right time, it was plain as day.
A tragic film that does a great job of showing a tragic history. I've always liked the fact that it wasn't Hawkeye who killed Mogua, and that he was not being portrayed as the last Mohican. I got a kick out of your reference to the Huron battle tactics as the more "modern".
The ending in the book is very different. Hawkeye is the one to kill Magua. Maj Heywood and Col. Munro do not die. Cora is the one that dies on the cliff after being killed by a Huron. At his birth it was Uncas who was to be the Last of the Mohicans, since there were no more 100% Mohican woman left for him to marry. In the end it is Chingachgook that becomes the Last of the Mohicans. He also appears in 3 more books in the Series.
The look on Magua's face when Alice jumps reminds me of things today
The music is epic , beautifully filmed. There used to be a to series of it and I love this just as much ,
The burned out cabin WAS Hawkeye's friends from the movie's beginning. Cora, like John Dunbar in "Dances with Wolves," is "turnin' injun." The heavy fur placed over the vent hole of the cannon blocks out sparks from entering and can help smother by oxygen deprivation any embers remaining from the previous shot's powder charge. You're exactly right, Y, those were mortars, which shot huge explosive shells high and over the fort's ramparts. All the British shouted orders were signals to the Mohawks/Hurons to take cover. I enjoyed very much your comments and revelations of your feelings during this wonderful reaction video.
This is one of my all time favorite movies ever since I was a kid. The soundtrack really adds a whole nother level to it
They cut out almost all of the love scenes between Alice and Uncas because they didn't want conflicting love story lines. I think Michael Mann needs to release and extended version with all of their scenes.
I watched this movie in the theatres and I was only 8, and it became one of my favorites immediately. Totally agree that the acting, cinematography, effects, and story were great! Also, her sister killed her self after because she just watched the man she loved die, so not as simple as just giving up hope of rescue. 👏👏👏
Officers were often not killed in battles but instead ransomed back to their people for money.
You are right, this film is an experience. There are so few films like this. This is an absolutely fantastic film. I never tire of it.
This is a great film. It grabs yourheart and mind. During a research of New England tribes, I found a mention of Mohegan tribe, who had a great sachem named Uncas. I believe when this story was penned the name of the tribe, and Uncas their first Sachem was taken. Uncas was a great leader for tgem, and statesman, and friend to the English. The tribe was an offshoot of tge Pequot tribe, but became independent and small. The time period we are talking about is King Phillips war with the English about 1675. The leadership of Uncas kept his people safe, and thry exist still to this day as a tribe. This man, Uncas, was a great man. Read about him.
Going on a Last of the Mohicans reaction binge. Really love this reaction (and movie, of course). 🤍
Lying to further the interests of the British military makes sense from Duncan’s perspective. 🫤 I can’t agree with it though.
It’s ironic that Magua claimed to be doing so much of this for his people, and the one Huron chief at least said that the path he was supposedly taking for them was NOT the way of the Huron.
I assume Uncas went ahead because of his rashness and urgency being higher than the others? Considering he seemed to be forming a quiet connection with Alice. In spite of his skills, both he and Alice seemed like sensitive, gentle souls.
Bro... those Native Guerrilla warfare modern tactics is how the Colonials beat the British. And Alice and Uncas was supposed to be the love story... he was just trying to save his girl. And Major Duncan went out like a “G”. Good review tho!!
The American Revolution was not, for the most part, fought with "Indian" tactics.
The Revolution is, by most historians, considered the last war fought with the old European tactics.
And how Vietnam defeated the Americans
Officers were normally 2nd sons of aristocrats who could buy their rank almost regardless of intelligence.
The Royal Navy promoted on merit after long training from childhood.
You should do `Master And Comander to appreciate the difference.
This is one of my favorite period films, outside the Ghost and the Darkness. This was filmed in my state and my mom had students who were paramedics and extras on the set. I've been to several of the locations they filmed the big action scenes and let me tell you, very little editing is needed to make the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina look any more gorgeous. Fun fact: the very same mountains is close to the location they based Outlander's North Carolina's Frasier Ridge.
The Ghost and the Darkness and Last of the Mohicans were two of my first R rated films and they are in my top 5 as well! I grew up watching these and listening to the soundtracks all the time. And you are so right about the mountains. I have a friend in Boone, NC, and I love driving around the are and exploring. It's simply gorgeous!
Duncan was an underrated hero… secondly would enjoy seeing a movie called Magua told from his perspective.
At that point, the english BOUGHT their sons rank in the military, so that they were more likely to live and be "important". At that time, rank had little to do with experience or aptitude.
Cant forget that Russell Means is one of the co founders of AIM along with Wes Studi and was there through the Wounded Knee 73' and Trail of Broke Treaties when Natives has little to no rights in the US. ✊🏾
Hayward's youth. In the British army commissions were purchased. The price rose with the rank.
There's a lot of demonizing Europeans going on now, but as this film accurately shows, it's a lot more complex than that. Several relatively technologically complex European civilizations came in contact with thousands of relatively technologically basic civilizations, and it played out how it did. Though the warfare was the most consequential feature, as the film shows, there was a great deal of complicity on all sides.
I like the insight of your commentary, yes there was complicity on all sides in this
Hey, Mike! Great reaction!
This is my second favorite film of all time!
Michael Mann's direction is kinetic and immersive. His compositions are painterly.
Dante Spinotti's cinematography is atmospheric and lush using mostly natural light sources.
The score by Trevor Jones is rousing and sweeping.
The screenplay by Mann himself and Christopher Crowe bristles with authenticity, intelligence and ferocity!
The action is phenomenal and inventive including a canoe chase!
The period detail is assiduous.
Colonial America feels rough-hewn and primeval.
The chemistry between Madeleine Stowe and Daniel Day-Lewis is electric!
The cast is uniformly excellent.
Chingachgook, played by Native American activist Russell Means, has a terrific speech at the end of the Director's Cut where he laments being the last of his tribe. He goes on to say that one day his white son, Nathaniel, will also be the last of his kind, a frontiersman, as civilization pushes westward bending the natural world to its will.
This is based on James Fenimore Cooper's frontier classic "The Last of the Mohicans" written in 1826 but bears little resemblance to the details of the novel.
Cooper wrote a pentalogy of stories about Day-Lewis' character, Nathaniel Bumppo, who went by several names including Deerslayer, Hawkeye, La Longue Carabine, Pathfinder, Leatherstocking and The Trapper. The stories chronicle his life from 1740-1806. "Mohicans" is the second tale chronologically.
The French and Indian War was the North American theater of the first global war, The Seven Years' War, from 1756-1763.
Battles raged in Eastern colonial North America, the Caribbean, Europe, the Trans-Atlantic and the Far East between England, France, Spain and Prussia.
George Washington's military exploits occurred in this war which is one of the reasons he was chosen to lead the Continental Army during the American Revolution.
The attack on Fort William Henry and the ensuing massacre are real events.
The callous and condescending treatment of the colonials by the British officers show the first stirrings of colonial resentment of the British crown which would ultimately erupt in The Revolutionary War.
"Justice...if that is justice, then the sooner French guns blow the English army out of America, the better it will be for the people here!" "Cora, you do not know what you are saying!" "I know exactly what I'm saying! And, if it is sedition, then I am guilty of sedition, too!"
Native American tribes in North America allied with different colonial powers.
Magua is able to infiltrate the British ranks as a guide because the Brits can't tell the indigenous tribes apart.
French General Montcalm, a real historical figure, made it a point to acculturate himself to his indigenous allies and show respect to their people in order to secure a loyal bond.
Nathaniel advised Cora to remain close to her father and the British officers because the French officers would afford them protection as fellow aristocrats.
The enlisted man was considered an unwashed peasant good for cannon fodder. Lol.
Wow !
So well said. I must ask you, given how great this film is what is your favorite ? ( Let me guess --- Master and Commander. )
I watch both every winter and The Vikings ( 1958 ) Kirk Douglas & Tony Curtis -- so good.
When you watch that final part in the Huron village again you‘ll realize that it wasn‘t such a selfless act of Duncan Hayward - what most might not have noticed 1) Duncan was translating all words into french for the Huron elderman, and he translated repeatedly in literal words „take me, instead of her, take me“ then 2) once they grabbed him, he was just as irritated and surprised as everyone else and then simply surrendered … the scene is realistically very fast paced and showcases the language barriers during those times and negotiations…love the movie and you‘ll catch these details only when rewatching …
The subtitles literally say “Take me! A British Officer, Me for Her!”
So unless the subtitles in the movie are wrong, Duncan most certainly knew what he was doing.
She was in love with Uncas. That's why she killed herself.
This is from the second of five novels comprising THE LEATHERSTALKING TALES, authored in the first half of the 19th century by James Fenimore Cooper. The first is THE DEERSLAYER, followed by, in order, THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS, THE PATHFINDER, THE PIONEERS, and THE PRAIRIE.
Hollywood, having disregard for literature, changed the name of the hero to Nathaniel Poe. In the novels he is "Natty" Bumppo. They also played musical roles, as it were. In the novel Major Hayward is enamored of Alice, the younger sister, who is white. Cora, the older, is mulatto, being the issue of a relationship that her father had during a posting in the Caribbean. Uncas is in love with Cora.
Kykyapwa and Chahta Oklahoma both parents your the only reactor that showed my cousin. He's an extra in this movie lol. But I dig your channel mh brother and multiple family members joined up. Much respect bro
Hey! Which person is your cousin? Got a specific time mark on the video?
@@Yeedeed 31:40 31:41 on your reaction. He's walking by the tree great shot of him
Yea my mom said you look so cautious lmao. And you know the fam jumped on that lol. You know how we do but much respect to my family bro
One of the few movies that is as good as the book
A wonderful story and even though there are some ‘oh really’ moments the music, cinematography is amazing. I loved the original black and white tv series . Great review Mike
Excellent reaction. Great movie. You pointed out some things I totally missed.
Fun Fact: George Washington helped start the international conflict known as the 7 Years War when he took over a French border fort and the Natives with him slaughtered the French after they surrendered. The Seven Years War has been called the First World War by some historians.
Fort Necessity is a recreated park East of Pittsburgh. Fort Pitt/ Fort Duquesne was recreated at the Point in Pittsburgh, I hope it's still there.
In the real ambush, only a fraction of the English column was destroyed. The rest made it back to safety in good order.
Sadades, Mike. Daniel, one of my fav.
Uncas had to save his Girl.
Great review and perspective on this amazing film.
You understand why we say. free or dead. Americans
They put the sheep skin on the vent of the cannon to keep out the oxygen and prevent next cannon shot from going off prematurely
I always thought Duncan Hayward made that last minute decision to offer himself because he really did love Cora and he knew he couldn't make it out with her alive. He knew Magua would go after him and Nathaniel had a better chance to protect her. Uncas went after them to save the sister and his Dad and brother went to help him. Magua wanted to keep the sister as a slave and torture her all her life. When Uncas was killed, she chose her own death. She didn't think help was coming.
I think this is where most are wrong interpreting the scene - I watched the movie so many times and after the second time rewinding that scene you realize that he, Duncan Hayward is the translator and made the mistake to translate all words literally, so when he said repeatedly „take me, instead of her“ he translated that and that‘s when he was chosen - you even see how his initial reaction when they took him and how irritated and surprised Duncan was initially …
I was struck by the seeds of the revolution coming 20 years later.
Good review, and yes this is one of my favorite movies too. However, there are some major differences from the book. Some understandable, others are like why the hell did they keep that out of the movie.
((Book spoilers ahead))
In the book, MAJ Hayward was actually very appreciative, brave, and humble. He was willing to submit to Hawkeye's woodsman experience and they respected eachother. Furthermore, there was no love interest between the elder daughter Cora and Hawkeye. Additionally, Hayward was to betrothed to Alice the younger daughter not Cora. At the massacre of Ft. William Henry, a true event, it was way worse than what was depicted in the movie. At the start of the massacre, a huron warrior snatches a baby from it's mother's arms and picks up the baby by the leg and then slams its head against a rock. Later, the Huron actually start to drink the blood of their slain victims. Monroe doesnt die after surrendering Fort William Henry he goes with Hayward, Hawkeye, Uncas, and Chingagook to rescue the two girls from Magua.
Near the end of the book Cora is killed by being stabbed in the chest by one of Magua's warriors. BTW, Magua had a thing for Cora and wanted to take her away to be his wife. Just before Cora's death, Magua says to her, "choose Magua's knife or his wigwam." Uncas, who views the women as his to protect, is stabbed in the back while Uncas is killing the warrior who stabbed Cora. He then faces Magua but now one of his arms is useless. They fight but Magua stabbed him to death, then Hawkeye shoots Magua. I prefered how the movie has Chingagook kill Magua.
In the last chapter, during a large Delaware Tribe funeral held for all who fought against the Huron at a great last battle.
Monroe cries bitterly over Cora's lifeless body that has been wrapped in birch bark and adorned with flowers by the Delaware women. Uncas' remains are sat up adorned with all kinds of medals, trinkets, feathers, and wampum by the Delaware to greatly honor him as a highly respected war chief. As expected, Chingagook speaks over his son's funneral and tells the Delaware not to be sad as Uncas was a great warrior who fought with honor and earned the reapect of his cousins the Delaware tribe. It's explained earlier that the Delaware Tribe is closely related to the Mohicans, although this village of the Delaware tribe were recently allied with Magua and the Huron but were turned to support the Mohicans and Hayward and Monroe after Hawkeye pleades their case to their aged chief. This was similarly depelicted in the movie. At the end the patriarch chief of the Delaware tribe says he has "...lived to see the LAST warrior (Chingagook) of the wise race OF THE MOHICANS."
This book's last chapter, the funeral scene, made me weap. This was an exceptional book, I highly recommend that, if this book is on your bucket list, stop delaying and read it. It's a little hard at the beginning to read, as it was written in the language that was spoken over a hundred years ago, but you adapt quickly and once you start you can't stop.
Not sure but think Hawkeye in long long running tv series MASH was inspired by the character from this book made 3 times I think in to a film format.
This is one of my favorite historical-fiction films. That ambush of the Huron on the British line in the field is my favorite scene in this film. Shame it never happened in real life like that. But I think the ambush earlier in the film where the British reinforcements get annihilated by the Huron war party would be more accurate, as the British and French armies (Redcoats and Whitecoats) were trained in open field combat, so it's clear that they would never be able to take the natives in the forest. In the French and Indian War, there was a battle called the Battle of the Monongahela, where the British got annihilated by French and Indian forces.
British succeeded and defeated the french in North America. Hence why the continent speaks English.
Dad got a lot of smart ideas, Magua thinks he's about to fight a Mohican. Chengachu is the last of the Mohicans, Magua not about to fight, Magua about to get wrecked by some old man who would call a white baby his son.
Uncas and Alice were the youngest main characters which unfortunately made them the most impulsive.
Hey man, that was such a good review. I'm subscribing to your channel, very nice work on this epic movie!
Daniel day Louise practiced that double gun shot until he could do it. So it’s as real as it could be
Absolutely fantastic film with one of the greatest endings ever.
The soundtrack is absolutely fantastic as well. The song you said is beautiful is by an Irish band called Clannad. Both the band and it's lead singer, Moya Brennan, have been on pretty all the best soundtracks of epic movies and TV shows since the 80s including Gladiator, lord of the rings, king Arthur (2004) and one of my favourite childhood TV series Robin of Sherwood that they did the entire soundtrack for. You probably know more about the lead singers sister though Enya.
Its CLANNAD... the song u said was great... ENYA is a backup singer to her sisters band in this song... lookup ENYA
... you will love
Unkas was impulsive and reactive and it got him killed, poor guy. When we saw this in the theatre and Magua killed him , the theater errupted in a nooooo. What an impressive and hauntingly beautiful movie.
I watched bits and pieces of this with my mom when I was younger - I didn't always get what was going on but I knew it was important to her. I definitely got the nuances better as I got older. From what I understand, the original book is a bit cringeworthy, so Michael Mann and the crew got big credit for making this movie such a classic.
When war is made upon women and children the perpetrators will often justify it through one of three ways: One) Vengeance upon the whole tribe of evil doers, you are one of them and must die. Two) It is better that the whole family remain together in death rather than be apart, broken, and improperly nurtured. Three) They would take up arms and avenge themselves if given the chance, so no chance will be given.
Filmed in the mountains of Asheville, NC.
You know Uncas loved Alice…and I believe Alice loved Uncas. That’s why when he died and she thought no further help was coming, that’s it, calling it a day.
I could never understand why Uncas didn't wait for his companions either. Somewhere back in my childhood I read the Fenimore Cooper book this is based on, but I can't remember it anymore. This film has completely replaced any memory of the story from the book. However, it would not be the tragedy it became without those needless deaths and sacrifices. So even though it feels a bit contrived, it fits with the overall storytelling of the movie. I'm not talking about the countless soldiers and settlers that died, but rather that the ones we had come to know and care about, had to suffer and die.
He asked his dad, dad said get her run if you love her, just before Hawkeye shot Duncan. He asked, and he ran for Alice.
Maybe Dad thought he could win? Dad will win the fight with Magua.
Alice knows she's not in wonderland anymore.
This version cuts out a speech the dad had at the end. Its beautiful and, in my opinion, is the perfect cap-off to the movie. I wont repeat it here but it speaks to the changing times and how those times will affect every new people that will come to this land. Its really a very sad speech because the father knows the time of the Natives is passing quickly. Also, people say that Alice jumped cause she loved Uncas. This is not true. Alice jumped because her mind was broken by everything she had seen and lived thru. Remember the life she came from. She was a pampered, very fragile girl.
When were u in Brother? I was in 2006 to 2011? I can tell u were in. This is my first video seeing u, even now. Love and respect Brother ❤
The movie specifically told you the Huron village was attacked by Mohawk not British soldiers. Magua said Munro was "the father of all that". That doesn't make it so. You are not told to what extent that is true.
I will finish this later when I can.
You missed it. This is talk of Independence. That is why they have these fights. The colonies are starting to attack back
Talk about love at first sight
"Damnit! MATH!"
😂👍
You’d enjoy the semi historical Gangs of New York
a very powerful movie
I know the answer, Danieal
Day
\Lewis went in the woods for a year before he played, "Hawkeye"
That's the last time I'll call him that.
Fun fact: Magua's heart WAS twisted.
Trivia is Daneal day lewis went in the3 woods for a year to learn how to be native. Bullshit of course, he's not an Army Vet.
Hawkeye is behind dad, they also ran up that hill.
Sceans were Shot at chimney Rock NC
Nathaniel was also known as La Longue Carabine
Michael Mann and DDL are both gods.
That is actually what happened to These Frommheit fort
Only one person Alice fell in love with, and he's down there.
The younger brother n younger sis fell in love without words cuz they similar n same with the older brother n older sis but with words. Father new his son n let him get his love back but younger brother was to fast in tracking which it says in the start. Its all a native warrior thing man. Younger brother did needed more training n magui was trained but not a chief cuz he had no love. The father was a chief n why he beat magui easy. This movie shows how chiefs where boss level. Same in the prey where the chief brother vs predator like a boss n predator cheated which shows why he aint chief yet. Its a native thing.
Because actually Duncan was the hero all along... And the last of the Mohicans wasn't who you thought it would be.
"In the Name of the Father" is DDL's best film in my opinion. I suggest you watch it
The fur is to immediatley cool them to the touch to be moved, Brother
Why are they not in formation? Bro, that line is at least half a mile long if not more. You ain't hearing shit from one end to the other. Do you understand the level of confusion and miscommunication in a march a mile long while not expecting to be attacked after signing a truce? And why did he not wait at the end? He didn't wait because the whole point is he needed to slow them down. The other weren't even out of the camp when he left in order to get ahead of them and slow them down while the other caught up.
And also its stated thru the movie, that the Huron knew about how the britts/euro fight tactics were and how to take advantage of, been not let them to form. By the way, many people miss that cool extra scene with Duncan leading his grenadiers outside the fort, fighting the french regulars and destroying them 🤷♂️
You should read the books now that chronicle frontier life in America at that time. That is real history being told and it used to be required reading in US high schools
A tragic reality for so many tribes. The count is too high to measure.

Since you asked you what might have happened to the returning english soldiers: VERY different times. Up to World War 1 such agreements were normally honored. There are masses of examples of SOldiers and Officers who were released under the agreement they would not fight e.g. against the capturing nation no more. Even in WW1, I remember a case where a german colonial officer was set free under these preconditions and could get home - and only fought on the eastern front to honor the agreement.
As weird as that sounds today, and belive me, I will not romanticise "honor" at all, especially not when it is used to justify unnecessary deaths, here and there it had such peaks.
Actually, you have such agreements today sometimes. LAtest example I could think of: In the russo-ukrainian war the conditions of release of several popular Azow Steel Defenders was that they don`t take up arms against russia again and wait for the end of the war in Turkey. This is honored. You would simply loose the possibility for future arrangements of that sort if you wouldn`t.
