I can watch theend scene at the waterfall over and over. A very well done and emotionally played out scene.

The whole movie was about some redcoats getting killed, again and again, and again..
Nobody used bayonets, and the only dead natives were killed by the "heroic" Mohicans.I remember a scene where a line of british soldiers shot there muskets, and nobody in front of them dies
I mean come on.. heroism in movies, im fond of it..

That movie gives me chills :tonqe:
I just fell in love with you, seriously. LOTM is my favourite film ever; the passion and drama instill feelings in me which are unrivalled by any film in history. My favourite scene is 'Promentory', when Major Heyward sacrifices himself so that Hawkeye and Cora can be together and try to rescue Alice.

I'm only quoting because I agree, and I wanted to say nice choice of a quote there. Btw, the book was classic.

Definitely one of my most favourite of all time. There is not a single thing I don't like about it. I should watch it again soon. It's beautiful and immensely stirring.

Tried to read the book and it was terrible though.

What happened with the Mohicans after all this fighting?

Do they suffered a genocide on the hands of you know whom?
