The Last of the Mohicans - 5 stars out of 5 stars ( 100th post )

For my 100 post we go to a film released in 1992 and running 112 staring one of my favorite actresses Madeleine Stowe as Cora Munro daughter of a british officer,who falls in love with Daniel Day-Lewis as Hawkeye (Nathaniel Poe)a white who was raised by indians.A marvelous tale of romance set against the  French and Indian war which was just  prior to the  revolutionary colonies war of Independence.I'm not a Day-Lewis fan but he works in this role as does Stowe by the real scene stealer is Wes Studi as Magua,a Huron indian,who works for the French and has a blood feud with the Munro family.There is another love affair that ends tragically between Jodhi May as Alice Munro,Cora's  sister and Eric Schweig as Uncas,a Mohican and Hawkeye's adoptive brother.The rest of the cast is great and the story is as romantic as they come.Set in upstate NY ( but really filmed in north carolina ) the back drop is timeless and so foreign compared to today.The climatic ending proves that point.If by some chance you have missed this film,see it NOW.Trailer URL follows the pix.
