Love, nation, freedom

The last Mohican is a commendable business card for many people. But I always watched the US commercial blockbusters first, and I only started to appreciate some of my collections after watching the DVDrip of the blockbuster film.

That was the case for the last Mohican.

The so-called plot, I don’t need to talk about the introduction, there are a lot of online, and there is no need to mention the background story. People who like it very much can just buy the book and read it. Dangdang has everything.

I talk about my favorite place. The last Mohican in the film is actually Chikaya. His words at the end of the film are very meaningful. White people will come to the land of the Indians. When the local peoples disappear, assimilate, and colonize the concept actually no longer exists. This is an inevitable historical development. You can foresee it, but it is irresistible.

Speaking of the most touching scene, I think it was the scene where the British officer Dele replaced Haokeyi to replace the British defender General Monroe’s daughter Gorna, who was about to be burned to death. Dele was the eldest daughter song of Monroe. Na’s, but Gorna fell in love with the native Huron. When Gorna was caught by another native Huron and wanted to be burned alive, Haokei interceded and wanted the Huron elders to agree to burn to death. In exchange for Gorna's life. As the translator of Haokei, Dele could have seen his love rival burned to death at this time, and he would have a better chance to be with the surviving Gorna, but he deliberately said that he was himself when he translated To replace being burned to death...Choose to be burned alive to bless your lover and your love rival. This is a choice that a person could not possibly make, but he did. So great, really great.

Another plot is also deeply moving. Monroe’s youngest daughter, Alice, is admired by Haoke’s brother, Yungga, but she is coerced by Magua, a Huron activist, but Yungga goes to save Alice but is killed by Magua. And fell from the cliff. At this time, it was amazing that Alice, who had been weak in the play, saw this scene, and she jumped into the cliff resolutely. The bravery and firmness of that weak woman is admirable.

You can say that this is a war movie. In my heart, it also talks about human nature, love, and freedom.

Very good movie, recommended.

    This film is adapted from the second part of the American writer Cooper's "Leather Socks" series of novels. The epic of the Western War, directed by Michael Mann and starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Madeleine Stowe, sings the song of freedom for Native Americans against foreign colonists in the eighteenth century. The plot between the film and the original work has been greatly revised, and most people think the revised version is better. The shots of Daniel Day-Lewis running wild in the film are very handsome.

The Last of the Mohicans quotes

  • [last lines]

    [Director's Expanded Edition]

    Chingachgook: The frontier moves with the sun and pushes the Red Man of these wilderness forests in front of it until one day there will be nowhere left. Then our race will be no more, or be not us.

    Hawkeye: That is my father's sadness talking.

    Chingachgook: No, it is true. The frontier place is for people like my white son and his woman and their children. And one day there will be no more frontier. And men like you will go too, like the Mohicans. And new people will come, work, struggle. Some will make their life. But once, we were here.

  • Maj. Duncan Heyward: Might I inquire after the situation sir, given that I've seen the French engineering from the ridge above.

    Colonel Munro: The situation is that his guns are bigger than mine and he has more of them. We keep our heads down while his troops dig 30 yards of trench a day. When those trenches are 200 yards from the fort and within range, he'll bring in his 15-inch mortars, lob explosive rounds over our walls, and pound us to dust.
