"The Last of the Mohicans" is a thrilling, fierce adventure movie tempered with attention to historical detail, melodramatic emotion, and a sympathetic tense depiction of the French and Indian War era. Hawkeye a white man who was adopted by the Mohicans, finds himself on a perilous journey to escort a couple of British sisters to their father's fort. This journey brings him, and his companions, into conflict with Magua, a sadistic Huron warrior seeking revenge on the girls' father. This movie is an epic adventure and romance set against the panorama of a frontier wilderness ravaged by the French and Indian War. It focuses on the plight of three totally different civilizations (The English, The French and the Native Americans) with their battles for the continent of North America. Director Michael Mann brilliantly captures the essence of the 1750's era with the hand-to hand battles, the scalpings and the harsh life in the wilderness. The action scenes are quite realistic and border on being enormously powerful. The scenery of the filming locations in old-growth forestlands and mountains in North Carolina looks beautiful and breathtaking. The characters are colorful and have a lot of personality. The casting is superb. The actors and the actresses have done an excellent job for their roles. Daniel Day Lewis gives an excellent performance as Hawkeye, the adopted white son of Chingagchook. Madeliene Stowe was excellent in her role as Cora, Colonel Munro's oldest daughter. Both Daniel Day-Lewis and Madeleine Stowe generate excellent chemistry with rich material for their characters. The performances of the Native American actors, Wes Studi, Russell Means, Eric Sweig and Dennis Banks were very remarkable. This film indeed gives a brilliant look at a certain point in history as one point in a huge timeline. The music score is epic and hauntingly beautiful. A timeless tale of the 18th century frontier and the virtue and tragedy that results when the uniquely different cultures of the French, English, Native Americans, and colonists collide. A perfect mix of adventure, action, drama, and romance. Highly recommended.

A beautifully shot film with an amazing soundtrack and an outstanding performance by Daniel Day Lewis. Some others commented on the picture quality being poor for the HD version, but the only sequence that dipped in quality for me was the night scene at the fort due to the darkness. The rest of the movie was perfect as far as picture quality goes. The ending sequence of this film is a masterpiece and the soundtrack makes it even better

My all time favorite movie. I was 11 when it came out. It was the first R rated movie I was allowed to watch. And I loved every second. My dad thought it would scare me. He was shocked. Then I grew up and started appreciating it in other ways. I still listen to the sound track. You cant loose buying it.
