Customer Reviews

I will find you.

It is the year 1557, a confusing time with the French versus the English and the various Indian tribes taking sides. There are innocent settlers just looking to be free caught up in the conflict. A small contingent of British is escorting two daughters, Cora Munro (Madeleine Stowe) and Alice (Jodhi May), of a British colonel to a nearby fort. They are betrayed, and three trappers come to the rescue, thus setting the story of the “last of the Mohicans” begins. I do not want to go into detail as it will undermine the surprises. Let us just say you will not be disappointed. This story is based on the 1936 screenplay and embellished into a full movie. The scenery is breathtaking. One item you can spot right off is that the people in buckskins blend into the background; however, the British, the French, and the colonel’s daughters conspicuously stand out. Many of the scenes are also surrealistic and have an ethereal feel. This, combined with such songs as “I will find you” in the background, lures you into a timeless feeling. Even at the end of the story, you are waiting for more. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- As with most films today, there are many versions. And different media. Be sure to find the one that suits you best. Be aware of the director’s cuts, as “cuts” is a keyword. If you cannot find a domestic version, do not settle for less; you may want to invest in a region-free player or convert the media using software readily found on the internet.
