Loved it but a tad annoyed

Great movie! Soundtrack astounding and passionate! Of course, Daniel Day-Lewis! Virginian mountatins scenes are fantastic with the fog rolling in. Annoyed that some of the best dialogues are cut from this and they called it a Directors Expanded Edition.... Hey! It should be expanded and not deleted! ArgggH!

love at first sight-Lastof Mohicans

I've already warned my husband that if "Longriflr" ever came after me, I'd live in the forest with him! I fell in love with him at first sight, and his Indian brother wasn't bad either. Play the DVD frequently now that we have an HD tv.

A Great Movie

This movie is really good. If you like "Braveheart" you will like this movie as well. Now I admit that I haven't watched the original theatrical version, so I can not say if the original version is better than the dvd version or not. But I really liked the dvd version. A good mixture of adventure and romance.

One of the Best Movies of the 90s

This stands out as one of the best movies of the 90s, and was under fire by certain Native American groups depicting the Mohicans as racial stereotypes. They're really cutting down on Native American mascots, except for maybe Red Man chewing tobacco. The movie itself is about the Mohican war- British and French troups (the pilgrims) against the indians in what has to be a sleeper hit. I'm watching this again today just to see it again and relive the controversial history of the pilgrims fighting the Indians- join us or die they were given a choice.

Watch it on VHS

I cannot think of a film where I didn't enjoy the Director's Cut more than the theatrical release of a film. This one is a strong exception. A few of the scenes that were expanded were nice to watch, but none were essential. With one exception: Russell Means' long lecture at the end about the fate of the American Indian. His character was a man of few words, yet here he is giving a speech that sounds more like one he would have given as president of AIM. (and by the way, the work he has done outside of film is worthy of respect, and it has earned mine, so it wasn't the content of what he said that bothered me--it was that it was out of place and out of character and destroyed the flow of the film at the end). It is what was cut that was troubling. Some scenes (graveyard) are incomprehensible now, and some of the best lines (and of course that "song" as they are searching for the women) were omitted, and it isn't clear why. Overall, the original release tells a more coherent story. We have learned why Michael Mann isn't an editor. Great film on VHS.
