One of my favorite movies. Daniel Day Lewis (Gangs of New York and There Will Be Blood) was great and so was Wes Studi, (played Magua, very similar to the evil Pawnee he played in Dances With Wolves). The soundtrac is awesome and was the first thing I went out and bought after I saw the movie. The Mohicans were the original evil New Yorkers

I do love that movie, and used to have a crush on Madeleine Stowe.

How can you "used to" have a crush on Medeleine Stowe?

It was a pretty good movie. Danny -- that is, Sir Daniel Michael Blake Day-Lewis -- gets pretty intense about his roles, learned to fish/hunt/skin/shoot/camp for the role, weight trains, starves, whatever is necessary for the role, stays in character throughout shooting, apparently always carried his long rifle with him while filming was in progress.

Wikipedia says Madeleine Stowe lives near Johnson City, TX with her husband and daughter.

I admit to owning the DVD and having watched it several times.

I still do. First saw her in a Richard Dreyfuss film, I think. it's her eyes....

My favorite on the soundtrack is #3 "The Kiss," because of the beautiful violin solo.

I own the DVD, although I haven't watched it in some time. It is certainly in my personal "top 20" movies of all time, but it is up against some pretty stiff competition. Daniel Day Lewis is a brilliant actor. As a young boy, I read the James Fenimore Cooper book on my dad's recommendation and loved it. For a young boy in the 1950s/1960s, it was right up the same alley as Treasure Island and Moby Dick. "Last of the Mohicans" is the second in Cooper's "Leatherstocking" series, the first of which was "The Deer Slayer", which I read too. I don't remember if I ever read the other three titles or not, so probably I didn't.

Yes, along with Jack London's writing and Kenneth Roberts "Northwest Passage" and many, many more...

I too read Cooper, along with Thurber, and all the other more contemporary greats like Steinbeck, or Michener when I was roughly 11 or 12 years old. Reading these people simple whetted my appetite for more. I've never read enough, though my reading total in books alone must now be in the tens of thousands.

I couldn't read enough and still can't, but some of what I read today is rather dreary for some, like the writing of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn who wrote "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" which I really enjoyed as to a certain degree his experience is something I've experienced, not in a Russian labor camp, but as a younger guy something akin to it...

The writing of Jack Kerouac also struck a similar chord with me as I experienced parallels of his journey in life...

Now I am going to definitely have to watch this movie.

My guess would be she's like a lot of us is ....rather wrinkled and not appealing as once...

I remember when Liz Taylor was adored waaaaaaaaaaaay past her prime, like she wasn't in the circus fat lady status, sorry but when we get beyond years that knock out our youthful good looks, we have to admit it and look to the next generation. (who'll go through the same ugly time constraints...)

Not too bad for a 57 year old woman.

WildBill,

If that's a recent photo, she's still stunningly beautiful!
