The Last of the Mohicans: Director's Definitive Cut [Blu-ray] Review

While significant points have been changed from the original classic novel, this is still a wonderful movie. I especially like the music in it. Hauntingly beautiful.
The love story is very romantic and well-done, the historical aspects very educational. Well drawn characters, well acted by all and the scenary is gorgeous, filmed in western North Carolina. A great adventure.

The Last of the Mohicans: Director's Definitive Cut [Blu-ray] Overview

Wildly romantic, daringly exciting, Michael Mann's film of James Fenimore Cooper's novel created a new babe magnet out of Daniel Day-Lewis, he of the heaving pecs and flowing mane. As Hawkeye, he plays an American settler raised by the Mohicans who is forced to serve as a guide for British adventurism in upstate New York. But the British have been outflanked by the French (and their Indian allies); then British honor is betrayed when a band of renegades assaults them during their retreat. Mann captures the viciousness of this era's hand-to-hand combat in startling battle scenes. But he also invests the film with heartfelt romance, as the feelings swell between Day-Lewis and Madeleine Stowe. The ending is a stunner, a long, nearly wordless sequence of battle and loss. Strong performances all around, particularly by Russell Means as Chingachgook and Wes Studi as the evil Magua. --Marshall Fine
