    My favourite part of this movie is that they avoid the expectation of Hawkeye vs Magua final boss battle. Instead the father comes in and rightfully so. An not only that, it’s not a back an forth fight he just destroys him😂 That’s not something you usually see nowadays. You don’t need to build up a fight or create extra drama. The drama was in the act of a father avenging his son with a fury in seconds

      @@DarthCompton Considering Last of the Mohicans is a literary classic written almost 200 years ago, I don't think you'd need a source to make that assumption. It's like a foregone conclusion. It is almost like saying: "I think the anime Sherlock Hound was based on Sherlock Holmes, but I can't find the source." Even without seeing the show, most people would say: "No shit, Sherlock." :D
      Now, I know Last of the Mohicans is not quite as popular and relevant today as Sherlock Holmes (RDJ being the most notable actor recently taking on the role), but it's still influental enough. Other notable literary marksman is Robin Hood, an obvious influence on DC's Green Arrow, especially his appearance. These types of references work as shorthands for establishing a comic book character.

The older films just treated them as savages with no reasons why. It gives a depth to Magua's character, as you picked up on watching this. He had reasons for his hatred.

    Magua is one of my all-time favorite villains. His motivations for what he’s doing are so understandable and visceral as far as his family being destroyed that it makes a person mad just to hear him explain it. When I saw this for the first time, I said to myself, ‘nah, the British did him dirty. I’m on his side.’ But Hawkeye was right though; Magua became what he hated. And that is part of the tragedy, too.

      right. the French called him "La Longue Carabine" or Long Rifle, because he had one of those quintessentially American guns, the "Pennsylvania Long Rifle" which has a longer barrel and was rifled, unlike the British and French muskets, giving him at the time unparalleled range and accuracy.

      "the Leatherstocking Tales" by James Fenimore Cooper (of which Last of the Mohicans was a part) was a classic of Early American literature.

    Chingachgook and Hawkeyes charge through Maguas men is a thing of beauty. just move, kill, move kill, like a hot knife through butter. and I love that the final fight is over so fast, when you have 2 guys who are that good at killing all one guy needs is an opening and its game over.

    The thing about Hawkeye, Daniel Day Lewis' character, in the books his defining trait is literally that he never misses. There's a reason that word and that name are synonymous with accuracy and shooting prowess. Just think about the comic character using the same name... Seriously though the concept of a sniper/sharpshooter being a heroic character all originates with James Fennimore Cooper's character.

  • @iggtastic
    @iggtastic 9 месяцев назад +1

    I always like how they handle Duncan's character in this. His motivation is so clear throughout. The decent but naïve guy turns into the jealous spurned lover. He is then rocked to his core by the intensity of his experiences, and at the end, knows 100% that Cora has a better shot at survival with Hawkeye than with him, so he sacrifices himself. What a great arc. Not complicated, but very human.

    Michael Mann is my second all time favourite director (after Christopher Nolan who paid homage to him in The Dark Knight first scene) and this movie is absolutely gorgeous to look at. You can definetely tell how Mann knows his cinematography even if he's mostly directing, for instance the entire look of Miami Vice (the tv show he wrote & produced, not the movie he directed even though that it's awesome as well) which became so iconic was his choice down to every single car color; in the past 15 years he made some peculiar choice with the way he shoot on digital which feels weird to watch but are definitely interesting and different (he basically doesn't try to shoot digital as if it was film, he goes the other way completely by emphasising the digital look), but his movies are still awesome. I strongly recommend the rest of his filmography. :)

Another great total immersion into the character by Daniel Day-Lewis and his actions show just how much practice he put in to master those element.

They were in the big battle scene with the French when we first get to Ft. Wilderness.

      And the landscape and shots for the most part are very real. The fight sequence at the end is at Chimney Rock in North Carolina, and they're looking out at the Blue Ridge Mountains. The waterfall sequence was filmed at Linville Falls, and I've actually gone whitewater rafting on that river. Obviously not the huge falls, but different areas of it. I just can't describe how beautiful it is in person.

    This is by far one of my all time favorite films. As a history buff, I know for a fact that that ambush after the British surrender Fort William Henry did not occur in the actual historical battle. There were natives who attacked the camps and killed many of the wounded troops. That being said, it's one of my favorite scenes in the film, with the natives coming out from the woods on both sides enveloping the British line with flintlock rifle fire, while the British, trying their best with the European style military training, get absolutely obliterated by the natives.
