A film about heroes, heroines, bravery and deceipt
This is one of my favourite films marred by the fact that my copy, bought eons ago, has an irritatingly small pillarbox to view it in. I'm not sure if this is still the case for current purchases.
The film is set in North America during the time when settlers and their families are trying to eek a living from the land whilst all around them the English, French and Native Americans are fighting for teritory and power.
Day-Lewis is superb as the adopted Mohican thrown unwillingly into this maelstrom, where he meets Stowe, the(drop dead gorgeous) daughter of Colonel Munro who is trying to protect one of the English Forts from the French.

After Manhunter and his TV movie prototype for Heat, 'L.A. Takedown', he turned his hand to this grand version of James Fenimore Cooper's novel of colonial life and strife in 1757 America (first published in 1826).
Neither the novel itself nor the 1936 film (which Mann says provides his earliest movie memories) can have much claim to historical veracity, but Mann gives his movie precise period details. Replete with 'authentic' clothes, bows, tomahawks, muskets and sun...
Last of the Mohicans, The
An ambitious but unsound epic wager: the characterization is as shallow as the photography, the action is redundant, the history lacks nervousness and the romance is unconvincing, with Cooper' s self-reliant woodsman here tamed into domesticity.
Last of the Mohicans, The
Set in the mountainous far reaches wilderness of the colony of New York in 1757, this charts the job played beside Hawkeye...
