It’s rare a movie makes you feel so much raw emotion, absolutely masterpiece of a movie!
it was sad when the hot girl died
@@neglectfulsausage7689damn so tru so tru😢 😂😂😂
Soundtrack defo helps, kino...

Yes could not agree with you more, unlike films to day which have no build up as this one does, especially using the running and loading a rile technique, the anger we feel at the death of his son, the arrogance of the baddy, the music and then the surprise of the father dropping and swinging around, ALWAYS results in me, clenching my teeth and gritting "Yeah" as it slams into his stomach. Then the slow despatching as the father uses his axe to finish him off, the look of shock and surprise of the baddy also adds to the scene, which the viewer can't help becoming involved in, even though seen many times.
Nowadays, I find more and more I am fast forwarding the fight scenes and I used to do a lot of martial arts, so I can get back to the story line. I wonder if we will ever go back to films as good as this one was.
Please Hollywood, I am in tears now. Please go back to the time when you guys make such great movies. Please go back..
I'm so with you on this! Every time I watch these clips with the music playing I weep . I don't know why. When they are burning the British soldier, that gets me too. This movie gets me very emotional and I don't quite know why.
@@dwainsellers6453 Aye. The music has some great emotional pull.
Never again. They now make absolute shit, so that I switched to Korean horror movies.
Why are you so weak?
Agreed but they'd have to replace time dedicated to sex with meaningful conent
The look in Alice's eyes has never left me. Haunting as all hell. Just an incredible set of performances and a masterpiece of a film.
OMG yes! When this came out, I was 12. But I'll never forget that scene... It has definitely stayed with me through the years. ❤
it's been what 2 decades now and that look is haunting. Leaving your comfortable life in England to be hunted and see your sister die. Damn.
Yeah, the first time I saw it a life time ago I was like "she's gunna jump" as I've seen that look before.
Perfect acting.
Queen Calanthe of Cintra
Agreed
The music, the action, the passion. This is one of the most incredible endings ever.
Man, Wes Studi played the hell out of his role as Magua - dude was a villain with a strong cause and absolute determination. He deserves all the credit in the world for making this movie so memorable.
A good example of an antagonist who actually has some nuance and isn't some "evil for the sake of evil" character.
I agree. I saw this when it came out and I thought Magua was the most striking character in the film.
Has no reason for what he does. Revenge is never justified ever.
Com crtza um elenco de primeira eu tenho esse filme em DVD muito bom msm
@@mariorodrigues5796 i dont speak gibberish.
Over 30 years have passed and this movie still withstands the test of time. One of the greatest films of my generation.
Same here.
Loved it as 10 year old in 92' and still love it 80's and 90's movies any day over the trash they make now.
Lol
lmao you american people really weird , first you take these people land next you make a movie that show them as evil
they butchered the source material like Chingachgook butchered Magua
Still my favorite movie to this day. The last 9 minutes of this movie had every you could want for an ending of a movie: love, action, death, closure
revenge
I cry every single time ... their love .. beyond words ...the urgency...
Best last 9 minutes of any movie, ever. Little to no dialogue, just the swell of the score and wordless action. Magua never even stands a chance against Chingachgook.
I haven't seen this movie in years. I wonder why there is not more talk about it.
Same here. Definitely one of my favourites. And, arguably one of the greatest movie finishes.
I choke up and weep every time I see the facial expression of Chingachgook as he rounds the bend in the trail in time to witness the murder of his son, Uncas. And then the intensity on his face as he pursues Magua and eventually exacts revenge with his gunstock war club. The deep sorrow he has in the last scene as he pleads with the Great Spirit to welcome his son's spirit home is deeply touching as well. Wonderful film. So powerful.
Shout-out to two solid Native actors and human beings - Wes Studi and the late great warrior Russell Means. Powerful performances.
+1 from Sweden.
Wes Studi Vietnam vet👍
I thought Eric Schweig was a native as well. A first nation tribe member who was forcibly adopted in Canada or something like that.
Wes has played in a lot of great movies! Great actor true Icon
@@bad74maverick1 He's First Nations and was forcibly taken from his biological family to be given to a white foster family.
There are movies, and then there are masterpieces like this that leave you in awe afterwards. This movie is what the word epic describes.
Absolutely most definitely ❤
I could never have said it better... The soundtrack alone is out of this world. 😭
Breaks my heart knowing that Hollywood will remake this in my lifetime (or anyones lifetime)
Extremely powerful storytelling. People overuse the word "epic," but this film truly earns it. I remember seeing it for the first time in theaters. I remember realizing my heart was racing and my palms were sweating a number of times because I was so immersed in what was happening on screen. It's been a long time since a film made me feel as much as this film did. This kind of quality storytelling seems mostly gone from the world now and it's a sadder, cheaper place for it.
My wife and I saw this when it first came out. When the movie ended not one person moved to get out of their seats, there was complete silence. Then as one the crowd broke out into applause and cheers. An incredible moment.
Well said, my feelings exactly.
The most beautiful film I've ever seen. I still remember the day I went to see it at the cinema, people were crying at this final scene. An absolute masterpiece!!!
Epic. The way Chingachgook goes right for Magua-not a word, never slowing at all, just going straight for the man who killed Uncas as if nothing on earth was going to stop him-that would be thrilling enough. Add in that score and Hawkeye backing him up every step of the way, and you have one of the greatest scenes in movie history. No dialogue- because none was needed. Just epic
Facts! All facts!
I've always loved the roll to avoid the tomahawk and get behind him.
Chingachgook conveyed the portrait of Anguished Fury here better than any character I've seen in anything, before or since. Writers too often seem to think fury = animalistic response, but you can see the pain here as clearly as the fury. There's an entire study's worth of human motivations on display in the moments before he drives that spike into Magua's gut with every bit of force he can muster.
Not only that, the strikes were accurate and realistic. Elbows, shoulder, done. Now just go for the kill.
That emotion is banned from modern movies. Fear, anguish, and pure determination. Great movie!
Father running to his son gets me every time. Taking down everything in his path
Yeah. Nothing was going to stop him.
Dad was Pissed!!
Same mate, combined with the music it gets me every time! 😢😂
The look on his face says everything, when he realized his son was killed.
Wes Studi should’ve been nominated for an Oscar. Magua was ok being used by the French to accomplish his own goal. He laid out his world view and made no apologies about it in front of the council. One of my favorite villains in cinematic history.
Who also appears in Dances with Wolves.
When I think about it, I'm not sure villain is the right description in either film.
yes, definitely not a villain. maybe not a hero, though@@IncogNito-gg6uh
@@user-gs6uu4rk6zhe is definitely a villain bro. Stop simping for the psychopath just cuz he has a sad backstory.
couldnt agree with you more. this is how villans supposed to be. not mindless idiots who wants to conquer universe
My father lived long enough to see this movie. He loved action movies, and this one was special for him----he read "The Last of the Mohicans" in high school. I was glad that I could get him to the movie theater to see the movie, and he was just swept away with the scenery, acting, plot, and music. Some movies will stand the test of time, and this one certainly will.
Filmed in North Carolina? Upper NY State is too developed. When they leave the Fort you can see a production bus in the background for all the extras. Did they edit it out with CGI?? Also fake rock near Ms. Stowe.
when i was a kid this was a series on PBS and i loved it I think they were on Sunday nights around 9 or 10 the finale was on and my dad made me go to bed and it bugged me for the rest of my life i found the old PBS version on ebay and STILL haven't made it to the end which I'm sure will seem lame compare to the newer movie
No CGI back then
@@amastelle Believe it or not, they often go back years later and edit out errors. And yes, there was CGI.... Star Wars??
I love how it wasn’t the hero of our movie that got the final showdown, but the father. Made the fight more tense and untraditional. Love it.
Indeed as it is the father to whom the title of the movie alludes to.
Hawkeye's role was already expanded for Daniel Day Lewis and it's very memorable that they still left it for Chingachgook to avenge his son.
Love how it was so one sided.
@@benjaminbushell agreed. none of the usual sudden recovery and the protagonist almost losing until they remember a secret move or some other deus ex machina.
@@benjaminbushell I also love when they build up the big bad to be the supposed best only for the protagonist who gets overlooked or goes underrated to be the one to absolutely obliterate them ala William Muny in Unforgiven
This film is a complete masterpiece in every category. This finale was perfectly done. The power of the father's love & brutality of was chilling.
Apart from the fake rock at 39 secs :p
@@PEBBLETHEREBEL1985 Once you see it, you can't unsee it. 😞
Still the best movie ever though@@NeilPower
@NeilPower the rock looks real to me
My wife and I left our mountain in Alabama and drove and camped out near Chimney Rock, N.C. and it was a bit scary after seeing the movie. Great American classic and the movie does not in anyway take away from the book. This is a must see from any person on planet Earth.
Absolute masterpiece of a movie. I love it! Every actor in this movie are the finest. Madeline Stowe and Jodhi May forever young and beautiful. Daniel Day-Lewis is a master at his craft.
And "The Gael" always brings tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat.
"The greatest 7 and a half minutes in cinematic history. No words are spoken for the last 7 and half plus minutes but it conveys almost every human emotion known to mankind. There hasn’t been a scene before or since that could equal it. Genius!!"
Agreed
100 % 🔥
explain how this is better than the "storming of the anthill" from paths of glory or the mexican stand off in the good bad, or de niro killing the don in the godfather, i understand you like the film but settle down
Don't need words with that soundtrack. Epic!
Agree - truly one of most memorable scenes in all the movies I have watched . As others have already mentioned it is the raw emotions with very little speech, the scenic backdrop, the background score , the storyline, and a great cast. Timeless
Crazy how great this scene was without a word spoken for that whole end sequence until that final fight ended. To be able to convey everything with just the physical performances, music, facial expressions is masterful.
Proof that the guy who directed this is the mann.
Agreed. This scene is to me the most emotional scene in any movie I may have ever seen and with no dialog. Gets me every time.
he spoke nicolas ; D
@@bane1240You know exactly what Alice is thinking.
@@xxx333mmm Uncas.
Admit it, we all thought Nathaniel was the MC, but his dad was the true badass.
Chingahchook's rampage and merciless decimation of the Huron warriors, ending with the brutal execution of the fearsome Magua, truly serves an example of the power of love's labor lost.
In addition, Uncas' death caused additional grief for Chingahchook - while he loved both Nat and Uncas equally, Uncas was his only biological son. His death means that his bloodline now dies with him, which truly made him "The Last of the Mohicans".
His rage, thus, was both that of a grieving father, and the last scion of a dwindled tribe of people.
Your encapsulation of the story behind the story is much appreciated. Thank you for the summary.
Your words my tears. For America!

I believe music is one of humanities oldest languages. It can capture feelings and emotions that we can all understand universally. For over 4 minutes, there is not a spoken word in this scene. Trevors music, as well as the actors and actresses' facial expressions, are amazing!! It's one of my favorite movies of all time. Thank you for posting a final scene that will forever be remembered.
Trevor Jones not Hans Zimmer
We tapped on rocks for a beat long before we had a set of vocals.
The movie 2001, yeah, it should've had a monkey drumming out a rhythm.
Hans Zimmer also ,klasse genau das dachte ich mir ❤
Agreed!
The music made it for me.
A white dude and woman protected by natives as a hangaround in thos times...?
The movie is crap historically..
The score is amazing! It's hauntingly beautiful onso many levels.
What I love about this scene is the father never hesitates. He KNOWS Hawkeye has his back. One of the greatest scenes in movie history.
Bullshit. He doesn't care that Hawkeye has his back. He is ready to die to avenge his son.
@@nacholibre1962 It’s true that he is ready to die to avenge his son. But he is a fool if he doesn’t care if Hawkeye isn’t there. Hawkeye cleared a path for the father to reach his son’s killer. Without Hawkeye, the father might have never reached Mauga. There were simply to many of them for the father to fight alone.
@@markwilliams4024 Hawkeye wouldn´t let his father die in front of him. Because he already lost his brother. Hawkeye himself would die defending his father if it was needed.
In the Wheel of Time the last king of a long dead nation named Lan makes his final stand against one of the Forsaken named Demandred. The only reason he is even able to reach his desperate battle is by the marksmanship of the finest longbowmen in all the nations. They use flaming arrows to light a path through the horde barring his way.
@@nacholibre1962no , he’s ready to kill for his son . And does
I’ve always considered this ending fight scene is the best in cinema. It’s quick and to the point but the way they look at each other before the final blow communicates more than words ever could.
Foi tipo assim ,a cobrança chegô rapido 😂
To me the look just says "You killed my son, you son of a bitch."
Yup, just sweet revenge served quick
You could well be right
Daniel Day-Lewis had to play second fiddle to a once dominant Mel Gibson in “The Bounty”. Now Lewis is considered by many to be one of the finest actors of all time!
Everything about this film is EPIC...
The cinematography
The location
The story telling
The score
The period backdrop & setting
And last but not least the EPIC acting of Daniel Day Lewis
The sandwiches
Absolutely 1 of the all time great movies. All great actors but especially to Wes Studi. His portrayals of natives truly gives you an idea of life for them and who they are. His talent doesn’t get enough credit in my opinion. He’s meant to be the Villain, but yet you find yourself also seeing him as a hero fighting for his people. He gives you both good and bad at the same time. Truly amazing
Russell Means' character at 5:44, the way he looks at Lewis' character. The display of grief in his eyes, of a parent who just lost his child. There are no words needed, simply great acting. You can feel his pain.
Lost his son and is the last of his people 😭
Those who trusted whites always got betrayed
Also his verbalization of an internal thought and the weight that it bears “last of the Mohicans”
Pleased Check Russell Means' private life and his activism for Native People
@@inlakesh555 I've seen his speeches in front of Congress. Very articulate and impactful.
30 yrs ago, 30 years!! This movie still gives me chills. The beautiful soundtrack , the superb acting, that's greatness, and it's forever. I'm so happy I grew up in the 80s and 90s Era, where movies were not sociopolitical messages. Daniel day Lewis et al , what a crew!
me too bro. 80's kid. saw this movie with my dad. i still remember this movie while i usually forget movies after i see them. one of the lasting movies in my memories.
I totally agree! I was born in 82. This movie is peak cinema! Today we live in a clown world. I don't even get excited about any newly released movies anymore. I'm surprised they haven't tried to cancel this film by now. What a masterpiece.
Imagine actually thinking that movies form the 80s and 90s like Last of the Mohicans had no sociopolitical messages.
Facts
@@ckotherletters That's what boarding the "everything is woke nowadays" does to people. They see movies from the past and can't see the message. Then see modern movies and see "woke" or political messages everywhere, even when there are none. People no longer appreciate things for what they are but for what they want to see in them. And what's funny is that they think they are not part of the "woke mob" when themselves are thinking exactly like them (aka: "I'm not part of that group, I've - awaken - from that sheep mentality". heh, funny isn't it?).
I remember watching this film for the 1st time in my American History class in my junior year in high school back in '95. And man, this ending scene still gets me to this day.
Watched it when it came out, watched it many times later, every time I watch it the final scene gives me chills, the music is out of this world. Thank you for making such a great movie!
This movie had the best soundtrack of all time in my opinion. It was just perfect throughout the film and adds so much without words. Truly a masterpiece.
I agree The Dances with wolves sound track is also every bit as great.
The bit at 1:54 when she jumps off the cliff rather than take Magua's hand then Magua turns and walks off like it was no big deal....this was the moment the song 'Dry Your Eyes Mate' by The Streets, was made for.
@@hmartinspliff LOL. Don't even mention that garbage in the same breath and LotM.
@@Cheximus Dry your eyes, -mate- Magua
I know it's hard to take, but her mind has been made up
There's plenty more fish in the sea...
The main part is called The Gael by Dougie Maclean. I had a friend who knew him well and when he died, we had it played at his funeral.
One of the the best films ever made. John Barry's transporting score is sublime. Whenever a clip from this movie appears in my feed I feel compelled to drop everything and watch this amazing film again.
Randy Edelman and Trevor Jones.
Not John Barry. He has a very different sound such as Out of Africa or Dances with Wolves.
@@margaretgarside5617the main theme was actually part of a song called "the gael" by Dougie MacLean
@@Valen-xu2wy now how did i screw that up? thanks
@@margaretgarside5617 thank you!
I just love the inevitability of Maguas death once he kills Uncas. Chingachgook is his death and is coming for him, and there's just nothing that can be done to stop him. The way Chingachgook effortlessly dispatches the few who try and raise weapons against him says it all.
Me too, Chingachgook was like an unstoppable force of nature...
The acting from Wes Studi is so sublime. No emotion as he kills people or sees them kill themselves. A great unspoken insight into the life he led.
This movie is incredible. They don't make them like this anymore. The music helps you feel the moment.
Many years passed, more than a few of movies made, but this one still stands the test of time as one of the best in the genre. Magnificent piece of art. Each and every part of it.
Top of my list , the actors and actresses places the theme are top notch, bravo 👏🏼
My late mother absolutely loved this film. She had taste
Can you answer in more detail?
absolutely.
This was made in 1992. It looks like it came out in the early 2000s
This is the second greatest movie ever made in Hollywood, MICHAEL MANN is a master at what he does , an absolute genius
As a kid this was my introduction to Daniel day-Lewis! He has yet to disappoint. He is the greatest actor I have seen in my 30 plus years of watching movies
Wes Studi is so damn good in this film. Magnificent even. I love this scene after he ruthlessly dispatches Uncas and he beckons to the girl to come back from the edge and as she falls his hand drops with her. The momentarily bemused look on his face then the callous mask returns and he coldly turns away. Stunningly beautiful film.
He went like "Da fcuk? Well, whatever."
His character seems indifferent to/not even realise that the hand he is offering is dripping with Uncas blood.
He should have gotten an Oscar nod.
This scene is one of the most iconic in cinematic history. The garbage coming out of Hollywood these days does not compare on any level, all the modern CGI and bloated budgets can never stack up to a good story, good characters (thank you James Fennimore Cooper) and good acting.
Yes!
Well and concisely put!
CGI will never look better than practice effects.
Christopher Nolan is the last of the all time greats still making movies imo
This film would never get made now, would be considered too much of a risk and there's no franchise potential.
Saw this in the theater in college. Wow. This scene is so moving. The whole movie is of course. Looking back, it's difficult to reconcile Wes Studi's character with the actor. What a sweet man with an awesome sense of humor. Great actor. Well done by all of course.
Daniel day Lewis should of gotten another Oscar isn’t that crazy what an Actor.
One of the most beautifully shot, acted, and scored movies of all time. 10/10
However it has been CUT A PART OF THIS FILM : Chingachgook still continue talking post glory the memory of his SON . ... He talks to Nathan aswell blessing him and his future with wife....but he is not a Mohican so the race died definitively with him ( something like this )
I watched this film as a 13 year old kid at night with the family on TV late one night, with my knees tucked up into my face and I couldn't believe the emotions I was getting, my little mind watching when the father gazes upon his son falling and his face of complete anguish actually broke me into tears. But it was when the girl stepped up to the edge, I knew something else was happening deep down inside me, I didn't know what love was or what it meant until then.... Love is not only something what we live for but what we'll die for. I just seen my little sister stepping off that cliff and it ripped me apart, I literally gasped! And still kills me to this day watching it. Unbelievable film and watched it recently, cry every time.
Similar experience with it my first go around
Wow. Well said.
I was 10/11 when it was released - the music, the characters, just everything ❤❤❤
You just explained my emotions during this whole scene perfectly I still get chills from it
It's great to see you sharing similar experiences to such an iconic film and brings up storms of emotions, thank you for reading my comment because I remember it like yesterday. God bless.
This was one of those rare instances where the movie did do the book justice. Great story by a great man and an equally great movie.
31 years on this scene still shatters me every time I watch it. It is one of the greatest movie scenes of all time.
Michael Mann (Miami Vice) at his finest in this underrated classic.
A perfect movie. The locations, the cast, the acting, the music, everything is flawless.
Really good movie, but no one ever used long rifles that way, and no one ever paused when someone pointed an empty single shot rifle at them. All that is just dumb.
@@msspi764 How would they know it's an empty rifle? That's the entire point - he bluffed.
I think you have to give a bit of leeway when your trying to showcase the exceptional skills of the protagonist.

This movie was just a 10/10 all around. I never forget how phenomenal it was. Never. ❤
It’s no Indiana Jones Dial of Destiny that’s for sure , lol
Notice he didn't shove him off the cliff.......He wanted his nasty dead body away from those he cared about that fell down.
Hope you got to see it on the big screen. This is one you have to see in a theater.
The Patriot was better
Fully agree .. a movie of all times .
I’ll never forget watching this with my brother back in the day in middle school. I had never seen a movie go so hard from start to finish. And the last part of the movie from when Duncan says take her and get out of here to when pops gets revenge for nacanze, just wow, and the music , bravo.

I must have watched this movie at least 100 times. . It never ceases to entertain and engage me.
Fantastic cinematography. . The land SINGS it's own story in every shot.
The historical accuracy is amazing.
The characters are incredible and the acting superb.
The soundtrack is perfect.
The story is just the BEST. .
I'm sure I will enjoy it 100 times more.
me too
I watched the ending at least that many times! Drove my kids nuts!!!
Except for where it was filmed - the Mohicans lived in the Hudson Valley in upstate NY and they filmed it in North Carolina
@jreifsnyder2225 yeah they historically lived in NY and South-Western Vermont but this was shot very far south of that
@@jreifsnyder2225 the Appalachian mountains in PA still looks very much like that to this day.
Still one of my favorites. Love the soundtrack, too. Beautiful cinematography and excellent casting. I watch this about once a year.
Indeed, few months ago we had a LotM night at our home, where my 30 something daughter (already a fan of the film) and her chap a 30 something decent and olf fashiond enough fellow joined us, he'd never seen the film and was enraptured by it, truly a timless piece of epic cinema with one of the best soundtracks of all time.
Next time its going to be a Dances with Wolves night, joint first with LotM for soundtrack.
This movie stands as one of the best films ever made, even now. There is no way that a movie like this could even get made today. At what point did we lose the ability to make movies?
I blame Adam sandler
The best movie ever. I wish movies were made like this now. I miss the old days when everything was so much better. Love this soundtrack too.
Haven't seen the movie in years, but sitting here with tears in my eyes. This scene alone is one of the best movie scenes I ever watched.
I agree so much... It's unique and special in so many ways : the soundtrack is mindblowing, the actors are so intense in their performances you'd think they're standing right next you... Just as if you were part of this tragic history. 😭
Crazy how this video came out 3 days ago and it already has almost 2 millions views. Just goes to show how much this movie has impacted people’s lives and keeps them coming back to experience this masterpiece of an ending.
Try 5.5m views only 4 hours after you posted.
No one who has seen the movie can resist wanting to watch it every time it appears.
Insane when compared to the absolute crap they put out nowadays.
Power of old Hollywood.
46 years old. I remember this movie to this VERY day! One of the best movies ever made.
The love of a father ❤
I was just gonna say, the Horror in his face when he sees his own son die.
A classic. Great story telling, great photography, great acting, an all round great movie. Whether it doesn,t follow the book is irrigardless. A masterpiece.
Some of this music was written by Dougie Mclean. I supported him in a folk club in Dartford Kent in England in the early 80s (He is Scottish) I bought him a drink and chatted at the bar afterwards. His Ready For The Storm song blew me away. Mind you, I did play a Blind Lemon Jefferson song (nervously!) at 800 miles an hour which shocked me and my Pal - Ivor Dyer - He was a bigger genius than anyone I ever met on the circuit. Rest in peace brother xxxxx
That's cool to rub shoulders with some of the people who contributed to this movie. This grandiose epic movie is what going to the movies is all about. Entertain ,educate, enlighten, marvel at the adventure and of course there has to be a great soundtrack to make it magical. Photography and cinematography was wonderfull also.
One of the darkest, yet most beautiful scenes in cinematic history.
I still come back to this every few years or so and it's just as powerful. A sweeping epic in every sense of the word.
I remember watching this as a teen with my dad. During the final fight my dad said "never go against a father with old man strength. You will lose" I have a daughter and am getting old and I know what he meant
Because real fathers will muster every ounce of energy they have left irregardless of their age and irregardless if the child is male or female and fight whoever is hurting or harming their child to the bitter end if necessary. I understand that .

I agree
Saw this film when I was 18 and cried so much by the end of it I felt like I couldn't breath, rarely felt that way about a movie ever since... still one of the best I've ever seen and I've seen a lot more by now.
Everything from the acting, writing, the soundtrack to the cinematography just never fails to amaze me. If there's one movie I'm never tired of recommending to people, this has to be THE ONE !
I remember seeing this movie in class when I was in 11th grade, last period of the day. I left the school building silent and deeply shaken. By the time I got home I was sobbing, but I couldn't articulate why. When my dad asked what was wrong, I said that the experience of coming home from school on the third Tuesday in May after watching a movie last period had triggered my PTSD- as the last time I had done that, two years earlier in 9th grade, I had arrived home to find out that my mom was dead. But, again, I had no way of articulating the true reason that I was crying. Watching it six years later, I feel the same emotions I did then- the same gnawing feeling of inexplicable grief, and longing, and emptiness. And to this day, I still can't put my finger on what it is or why this movie inspires these emotions in me. But it does.

I remember watching the with my oldest brother. He always told me how good Daniel Day Lewis was, which ended up being one my favorite actors. This scene is so iconic!
Lewis didn't really shine in this role.
@@jangdi.thing is he wasn’t supposed to in my interpretation. I think he did well as lead actor to portray the part he was rolled for but not so much that it made “last of the Mohicans” about his character and more about the overall story.
Lewis plays every role differently it’s hard to believe he was Bill in gangs of NY.
So many actors people attempt to say are great but yet it seems they fit only one role and are the same across every movie. Almost as if the director must fit the story around the actor instead of the actor fully emerging into the character.
Wes Studi is one of the greatest actors I have ever seen. Not only playing roles as Native American warriors and heroes, but as cops and more. His skills and voice place him high on the board of actors. This is one of the few 3+ hrs movies I sat through as a kid and first learning of Daniel Day Lewis is his almost scary ability to become his character
yes I was rooting for the bad guys in this movie
But he made hardly any money, look how much he is worth, and the see what Daniel lewis earned. Racist hollywood
Great cast! Stowe, Lewis, studi and everyone else. Totally underrated movie. The soundtrack was the best ever, I still play it when I work out. Lol. To bad it was screwed out of an Oscar.
@@rjbernard72 very true. But truly great movies usually are looked over
I didn’t know then but when I was a kid I was looking through a bunch of dvds in my family’s collection. This one, legends of the fall and the 13th warrior called to me. I like the last of the Mohicans the most. Then and now.
The scenery, the music, the chase, the fall, the kill, the retribution, the grand epiphany. Brilliant.
I’m 39 now but I remember watching this movie with my dad when I was a kid. Man I’m getting old.
I don’t know why, but I always loved how Magua stood there, neither arm about to work, and just waits for what’s coming.
one of the best choreographed fight scenes ever. no corny prolonged back-and-forth blows between combatants. the impeccable choice of music enhances the suspense and drama of the sequence. no corny dialogues before and during fights. great actors, using eyes and facial expressions to communicate to the audience their emotions.
Well still unrealistic how he shoots first gets the muskets come on
@@cereal_thinker my friend, please read my comment carefully, it's not about historical accuracy or realism in shooting. it's more on the artistic aspects of the movie and how that 7 minutes was well choreographed.
@@j8opoco well all that means nothing if its so unrealistic it takes me out of the movie, at that point it's as bad as a soap opera.
@@j8opoco did you see valhalla rising?
@@cereal_thinker fair enough.
Remember seeing this with my father at the cinema years ago and we were both blown away .. a wonderfully perfect film !
Lucky Guy, I miss my Dad
Acting, cinematography, and score were amazing. I can watch this a hundred times.
Michael Mann is the MAN! One of his greatest movies! Everything about this movie is SUPERB.
He has done some solid films, but this was his magnum opus
My freshman year in Boston University. I saw this in the theater and it was one of the most thrilling movies I ever experienced in my life. What a beautiful movie!
Back when I lived in Paris, I left my 2 million dollar mansion in my Lamborghini...I saw this movie and a friend's house. Agree, it was pretty good.
Wes Studi’s speech explaining why he hated the English was chilling , the loss of his family and culture was so very powerful ! The stories of James F Cooper are wonderful and may be a reference to a wisdom we may never understand. If nothing but a lesson in perseverance , respect and dignity. A truly great movie.
Have you read the last of the Mohicans ? The book is a bit different from the movie depictions.
Deerslayer is good also . But Natty Bumpo can be a bit long winded
I believe Michael Mann hated the book because of the writing but deeply appreciated the story.
That scene, and Wes's amazing acting are why Magua is hands down my favorite film antagonist of all time. If it wasn't for the Hawkeye and Chingachgook and Uncas coming along, this could easily have been Magua's story, and the climax would have been him finally getting his revenge on the road from Fort William Henry, and you'd have been thrilled he got there.
@@danielmcelroy8533not really. He killed innocents brutally, and became more twisted and monstrous than the English and what they did to his family. That shake of the head and look of disgust he was given before he was killed, tells you everything. His death is very satisfying and you root for it.
The fact that he has a sympathetic background gives him more depth but he’s still an absolute monster and terrifying in his determination to get his vengeance and wreck brutality on everything.
I have watched both the cinema and DVD versions of the film and still will say this is the best rendition of the movie. Not to mention the cinematography,and sound track that still rings in my head after 30 yrs
Sorry for the question. Are you referring to alternate edits of the movie?
One of if not the best example of the absolute perfect music and acting for a scene. Incredible.
Lewis always gave 100% to every role he played.
Agree, true artist, shame he gave up acting years ago.
That is really true, he fullfilled the screen with his way to act!!
lol 110%, sometimes 150%. His performance in Gangs Of New York just blasted everyone else off the screen
@@dzonbrodi514 Agreed! 165%!
Wow, how many of us feel like the father was so righteous in taking the enemy out..... excellently done! The movie is so beautiful and powerful and wow I cried a lot too.
Makes me cry and cheer every time. The ensemble - incredible. Wes Studi - perfectly cast.
Great book by Fenimore Cooper and the greatest movie in cinematic history. My all time favorite. Can watch it everyday. First I read it in Classics Illustrated comic books format when I was a boy of 8 or 10, since then the story etched in my heart and mind. Now I am 64 living in India.
Thank you for bringing in the nostalgic moments. God bless.
I will never forget the chills running up and down my spine watching this for the 1st time as a teenager... 😬😭 The masterpiece of a soundtrack, the actors (Wes Studi had me shiver : such an intense performance ! And the look in Jodhi May's eyes ! 🥹), OH MY GOD. Absolute perfection. 😍😍😍
Her eyes! Just perfection.
Wes Studi was so underrated he should have won am Oscar for this film. Of course Daniel should have won that's obvious but Wes was just as good.
@@arun2995Your words are strong, as fiercesome in their spirit as iron.
Damn! One of my all-time favorite shows! Wes Studi is one of the great Native American actors of our era. When Unca's gave his life for his love it was easy to see how she would do the same for him. Such a powerful film. I love it to this day!
The true beauty and power of this scene is the lack of a words. Such amazing actors and actresses.
One of the greatest scenes of a film ever created. No words, just music (great music) and emotion. Perfection.
I have always loved the part between 1:05 - 1:54 , "Alice's last stand". The way she goes from being afraid, with tears in her eyes, to when she looks back at Magua with fearless determination, before she jumps to not let him win. It gets me every time.
Can you answer in more detail?
Tough to know if she had of waited a minute longer there's a good chance she would have been rescued.
Why would she want to be rescued her love? Her true love had just died for her.
She’s an absolute coward. Very selfish act. Now they lost two loved ones.
Well his whole goal was to erase the generals bloodline before killing him, by jumping she already helped him with his plan.
Recall watching this during my childhood. One thing made me feel VERY uncomfortable and it was the girl choosing to fall to her death. What TERRIFIED me more than that, the indifference shown by captors after the girl falls. It’s still haunting to see, now in my late 40’s. There are classics and then there is this total masterpiece
Her decision made perfect sense. She’s not a brown and wasn’t going to join the browns.
@@andrewalbers856 Exactly, she's a Spencer, she'd never could join nothing but another Spencer... or a Whitman, if he finds one straight. Oh, actually, she could join the MacCloud, once they finish their quarry with the McRain, right?
Her commiting suicide is dumb, she must have known they're coming to save her.
@@kapsi That's actually a great idea, why don't you get a bunch of money, change the ending of the movie and see if people want to see your happy ending? Oh, and once you're there, make the last of the Mohicans to survive the fight, so he abd the girl can make more Mohicans
Magua clearly looked unsettled if not upset at her jumping right before they kept moving on.
I absolutely love this movie…have watched it numerous times over the years and no doubt will watch it many more in years to come. Great story, great design, great time period and great acting. Daniel day Lewis at his very best. ❤❤❤
Masterful.
And not to minimize the wonder of the final scenes, I have been to Chimney Rock, NC, and walked in the footsteps of the last Mohican.
Goosebumps.... Epic movie, gorgeous acting, tremendous music.. Lewis always gave 100% to every role he played..
That's why he's regarded as the best actor ever
There will be blood, Gangs of New York and this movie to me equals 3 Oscars!
@@Takezo5191 I agree. He is definitely one of the best!
One of the greatest movies of all time. From a different era in America, before it lost it’s soul and heart.
This movie has always been an inspiration to me. Every aspect of it works, the story is great, the acting is superb, and the film work and location are tremendous. This movie should have won every Oscar that was offered the year it was shown!!!
Maybe the best scene in all of cinema. No dialogue. Just emotion, adrenaline, and heartbreak.
Wes Studi, one of the greatest actors ever. His portrayal of Magwah is mesmerizing. Best character in the movie.
*Mogwai
That "fcuk it anyway" mood when he turned away after she stepped off
dude has top tier skill... its a great shame he wasnt cast in more movies... he got a spot on a detective tv show and in some movie with a cruise ship with an alien... but he deserved so much more.
@@robertmurry1442 Are you talking about Wes Studi? He's been in dozens of films with many Iconic roles.
I bet he didn’t see them, did he?
Such a sad yet incredible ending. This entire movie with its stellar cast. Amazing scenery and great score. Truly this ranks as one of my favorite movies of all time. The final battle scene where the grieving Father. Takes on the Huron Captain and dispatches him with skill and fueled by his sons demise. At the end before the final Killing blow is struck. Looks upon him with such a look.. ... Truly a great final fight scene. 💪🏻🙏🏻✨
Some of the scenery is off the charts... Just heavenly
That last speech is heart wrenching and haunting...can you imagine being the last of your kind? Superb acting as he turns his head to Daniel day Lewis when he finishes the speech. Extremely sad ...the speech is also symbolic as it shows a continent that will be transforming completely into something else ..as the three look beyond the horizon..
This movie, without a doubt, is the finest example of cinema I’ve ever seen. Everything about it is superb. It should have swept the Oscar’s.
Yes, it absolutely should have
Yes. Definitely.
