comment
The Last of the Mohicans is a 1992 film directed by Michael Mann and starring Daniel Day-Lewis. It is based on The Last of the Mohicans, an 1826 historical novel by James Fenimore Cooper which has experienced Pop-Cultural Osmosis and been adapted for film numerous times.A story about the American Frontier, The Last of the Mohicans takes place in the British colony of New York in 1757, against the backdrop of the French and Indian War, the 9-year American version of the Seven Years' War which heavily involved Native Americans on both sides. The story mainly concerns the adventures of Hawkeye, a white man accompanied by the last two surviving members of the Mohican tribe, Chingachgook and his son Uncas, as the three trackers try to protect the two daughters of a Scottish colonel.The novel had been adapted into a number of movies before this one, first in 1911, then again in 1920, 1932, and 1936. The 1992 film has been said by its director to be more of an update of the 1936 film than a straight adaptation of the book.For more on the novel The Last of the Mohicans and other books in The Series, see The Leatherstocking Tales.

Noble Savage: Averted. Native characters are portrayed as ranging from noble to brutal and bent on revenge—in other words, just like everyone else.

Age Lift
 The Last of the Mohicans / int_121b3725
comment
Age Lift: In the book, Hawkeye and Chingachgook were both thirty-four while Uncas was between seventeen and twelve. Since Chingachgook is portrayed as the adoptive father of Hawkeye in this it would seem, based on the fact that Russell Means was fifty-three, that Chingachgook was aged up some nineteen years. However, Chingachgook has frequently been a subject of Mistaken Age, as has Uncas, leaving it unknown if the age lift was even intentional.

Bloodless Carnage: Mostly averted, but played straight in two instances when Cora shoots one of Magua's warriors in the head at close range (which doesn't leave a hole) and when Hawkeye snipes Heyward, where there's only a small, bloodless hole in his head.

Wicked Cultured: Subverted in an interesting way. Montcalm is shown receiving Indian chiefs as equals and receiving gifts of fealty from them, including a Jesuit choir of Huron women. This is treated as a Pet the Dog moment showing the different French attitudes toward coexisting with natives, instead of implying that he is backstabbing his Indian underlings.

Also, the real Mohicans still exist, in spite of the title. Of course, this was something Cooper himself acknowledged and explained that the tribe was dispersed amongst others and the "Last" means "Last Chief and Warrior" not "Last of the Tribe."

Theme Music Power-Up
 The Last of the Mohicans / int_2f50c5bf
comment
Theme Music Power-Up: Almost too many examples to count. Pretty much any time the main characters do something awesome in combat (which happens a lot), there will be some epic badass music accompanying the action. This goes for the villains as well. The battle during the last few minutes of the film provides some of the best examples. Another good example is the nighttime sniper scene. Apparently putting silk in your rifle isn't the only thing that improves range and accuracy. Having a great soundtrack in the background helps as well.

Even Evil Has Standards: Magua seems genuinely perplexed and disturbed by Alice's suicide, though only for a moment. Also, the Ottawa raiders that murdered the Cameron family (and probably others along the frontier), absolutely refuse to trespass into the burial ground where Hawkeye's party take refuge (this is due to a spiritual taboo about disturbing the dead).

Face Death with Dignity: Magua, the only one in the entire film. He simply exchanges long glances with Chingachgook. In fact, he's leaning forward, ready for the final blow. Played with for Heyward. He willingly sacrifices himself, and goes to meet his end fairly dignified. Once he's being burned alive however, he quite understandably starts to scream in agony.

Properly Paranoid: The settlers express the fear that while they are away from their homes as a militia, the French and their Indian allies will attack their homes. Indeed, when Hawkeye, Chingachgook, Uncas, Cora, Alice and Heyward stop by John Cameron's village after the first ambush, the home has been razed and all the occupants murdered.

Curb-Stomp Battle: Magua defeats Uncas pretty handily, but it's still a dogfight. When Chingachgook rushes Magua for some fatherly vengeance, you'd expect a tightly contested clash. Instead, Chingachgook utterly dismantles Magua in a few seconds.

Happily Adopted: Hawkeye is aware of his origins, but he was adopted as a toddler, so his adoptive family are the only ones he's ever known. As far as he's concerned, he is Nathaniel Hawkeye of the Mohican tribe, son of Chingachgook and brother of Uncas. Chingachgook does differentiate him as "my white son," but not in any kind of negative manner; if anything it seems more like a culturally-based recognition of his adoption, and he's shown to be a good father to both of his sons equally.

Artistic License – History
 The Last of the Mohicans / int_56515a39
comment
Artistic License – History: The real life surrender terms for the garrison at Fort William Henry were a bit different than in movie. In the film, the garrison is allowed to keep all their weapons, munitions, and colors, with the requirement that they leave the continent and return to England. In real life, the garrison troops were simply required not to participate in the war for a term of 18 months. They were allowed to keep their colors and muskets, but had to give up all their ammunition and artillery other than a single cannon. The movie implies that General Montcalm knew the Indians were going to attack the survivors of fort William Henry in violation of their surrender and did nothing to stop it. In real life, there is considerable evidence that Montcalm made the agreement in good faith and did everything he could to stop the Indian attacks on the retreating column after they occurred. Ironically, this earned him the ire of both his Indian allies and the British: The Indians for trying to stop them and the British for failing to do so. The film depicts the attack on the British leaving Fort William Henry as a military battle. In real life, it was simply an unhindered spree of looting, kidnapping, rape, and murder. Since the British agreed to give up all their ammunition in the surrender terms, they were in no position to resist the Indians attacks and could do nothing but flee. The attacks didn't begin as a sudden ambush in the wilderness, but were drawn-out and started before the British left the fort. They also mostly took place toward the rear of the column instead of its head. The real Colonel Monroe survived the attack on his retreating army after they left Fort William Henry, though he died a few months later from apoplexy. However, other than this, the movie depicts Monroe quite accurately. He was Scottish, he really did base all his hope of holding the fort on Webb's reinforcements, and he really did threaten to hang deserters who attempted to leave. Reports vary wildly on casualty figures from the attack on the retreating British troops from the fort, with some putting it up at to 1,500 of the 2,300 soldiers, while others at less than 200. Modern estimates as early as 1990 have favored a smaller number. In the film, it looks like a large part if not most of the soldiers onscreen are killed, but since there aren't thousands onscreen at the time, it's unclear what part of the total army this is meant to represent and thus if the amount of death depicted in the battle is accurate. Also, the real Mohicans still exist, in spite of the title. Of course, this was something Cooper himself acknowledged and explained that the tribe was dispersed amongst others and the "Last" means "Last Chief and Warrior" not "Last of the Tribe." An unknown-sized detachment of the The Black Watch are shown during the siege of Fort William Henry. The only British regular formation deployed there was the 35th Regiment of Foot. Also, its highly unlikely a small detachment would have the regimental colour with them.

Heroic Sacrifice
 The Last of the Mohicans / int_6439de78

Heroic Sacrifice: When Magua demands revenge on Munro by burning his daughter Cora alive, Hawkeye offers himself instead. But Heyward deliberately mistranslates, offering himself. The others are released, and Heyward is burned alive. Well, initially, but Hawkeye doesn't leave him to suffer. This is a radical switcheroo from the 1936 film, where Hawkeye (Randolph Scott) actually does get tortured by fire, and Heyward (Henry Wilcoxon) rescues him before it goes too far.

Maligned Mixed Marriage: Partially averted vis-a-vis the book, wherein Cora was mixed-race, but Uncas and Alice turn out to be Star-Crossed Lovers. This is a role reversal from the book where Uncas was in love with Cora.

Carry a Big Stick: Chingachgook's gunstock war club. A traditional weapon of the tribes of New England and the eastern Great Lakes, it is a curved wooden club that loosely resembles a musket stock (hence the name) with a spear head fixed to the outside of the curve. Chingachgook demonstrates its lethality in close combat and as a thrown weapon throughout the movie.

Magua is proficient in English, French, and Mohawk, in addition to his native Huron. His English grammar is slightly off, but this often seems deliberate as he still speaks it in a very smooth, precise, enunciated manner, without any mispronunciations, malapropisms, or thick accent.

Scarily Competent Tracker: It's the Mohicans' hat! Well, that and Super Running Skills... At one point they track a band of Huron down the middle of a streambed. They know it's a band of Huron because there's only one set of prints (underwater) and Huron always walk single file to hide their numbers. During the "I Will Find You" segment, the Mohicans track Cora and Alice's trail (while running) up a granite rock face. They know where the war party is headed to, and Cora leaves tracks at the edge of the rock face...

Grey-and-Gray Morality: The British and the French are both just as bad as one another in this film. The French are nicer to the natives (whom they try to coexist peacefully with instead of the wholesale exploitation favored by the British) but even then, Montcalm tacitly allows Magua to massacre the retreating British forces down to the last man after they surrender the fort to him. Ultimately, the war itself is merely a backdrop to the more personal conflict between Magua and the protagonists.

 The Last of the Mohicans / int_75d6bf40
comment
Belligerent Sexual Tension: Cora castigates Hawkeye for leaving behind the bodies of the homesteaders and later has a rather sharp conversation with him about the differences between colonial and native cultures. They're soon desperately in love. Uncas and Alice's is more subdued. Alice's first words to Uncas are to shout at him for driving off her horse. Almost all of their later interactions involve him restraining or silencing her in moments of danger. While they never share any overtly romantic scenes, Uncas's doomed attempt to save her, and her subsequent suicide, strongly imply some connection.

Interestingly, Director Mann who is known for his neon urban color schemes, says this is the only film he ever did that had no artificial color wash. He wanted to capture the American woods without artificial lighting because he said they are rarely seen that way in media. Of course, this results in some pretty dark scenes.

Bilingual Dialogue: Native characters slide in and out of multiple languages, including the dead languages of Huron and Mohican, which are subtitled. Magua, being a Huron enslaved by the British-aligned Mohawk who returned to his own French-aligned tribe, became a war captain, and then infiltrated the British Army posing as a Mohawk scout, seems to speak more languages than any other character. In the final parlay, he alone understands the whole conversation, and he is not pleased. This part is simultaneously subtitled and translated on-screen by French-speaking Heyward, except for the Huron part which only Magua and Sachem understand. Then there's this: When Hawkeye and company are hiding in an Indian Burial Ground, the Ottawa refuse to enter and their French companions don't understand why :

Braids, Beads and Buckskins: Surprisingly realistic; the Native tribesmen wear homespun like their colonist neighbors, and both they and the colonist wear leather breeches and authentic hairstyles for the most part.

 The Last of the Mohicans / int_a6b14ee1
comment
Hollywood Tactics: Nicely averted. European tactics focusing on tight infantry formations using volley fire and bayonets are very effective on open ground, as seen at Fort William Henry. The French use proper siege engineering, with sappers digging zigzag trenches towards the fort to emplace heavy mortars to fire over the ramparts, while the British bombard them with artillery and send skirmishers outside the perimeter to delay them as much as possible. Magua sets up both of his ambushes in heavily wooded areas (or a narrow meadow very close to the treeline in the second one) to engage the redcoats in close combat without giving them a chance to form up for battle and fix bayonets, and give his warriors cover from volley fire in case they react faster than he anticipated (as happens in the first ambush, thanks to Major Heyward). Out of formation and without their bayonets (which are much more effective in formation), the Brits are quickly cut down by Huron tomahawks, with the best brawlers among them lasting only slightly longer before being overwhelmed. In each case, whoever chooses the battlefield does so with an eye towards negating his foe's advantages.

Deliberate Values Dissonance: Heyward urges Cora to trust his and her father's judgment over her own reservations about his marriage proposal.

Judgment of Solomon: The Great Sachem Tamenund's ruling at the end of the film is a bit of Deliberate Values Dissonance. From his point of view, it was a just ruling; the Huron did not mistreat captive women, but people might be punished for the crimes of their fathers. Women who ran the gauntlet, however, would be respected unharmed; they would be ransomed or allowed to marry into the tribe.

Dies Differently in Adaptation: In the book the Munro sister who dies is stabbed to death, then Uncas kills her killer before being killed himself by Magua. In the movie she (the other sister, to boot) defiantly jumps off a cliff to join Uncas in death. In the book Hawkeye shoots Magua after the latter nearly falls trying to jump a cliff and is dangling from a shrub, in the movie Chingachgook kills Magua in hand to hand combat by the cliff's edge.

comment
Cunning Linguist: Many characters are at least bilingual, though no less than four different languages (two of which are extinct in the modern world) are spoken on-screen, so there's still a need for translation. The Marquis de Montcalm speaks English and Heyward speaks French, facilitating parlay at various points. Magua is proficient in English, French, and Mohawk, in addition to his native Huron. His English grammar is slightly off, but this often seems deliberate as he still speaks it in a very smooth, precise, enunciated manner, without any mispronunciations, malapropisms, or thick accent.

 The Last of the Mohicans / int_c8c968c3
comment
The Alliance: In a Slice of Life montage, we see settlers and Iroquois assembling peaceably at Cameron's frontier cabin for a Harvest dinner and a traditionally violent Indian-style Lacrosse game with basketball hoops (settlers vs. Indians).note Ironically, the reason for the gathering is a militia levy to go fight the French and other Indians, but the British herald is disdainful of both groups.

Foe-Tossing Charge: Chingachgook at the end of the film. While running toward a Huron about to slit Cora's throat, Hawkeye gets bumped into by another random Huron and just pushes the guy aside. This seems to be a Throw It In! moment. Uncas tears through Huron to get to Alice in the climax, only to be stopped by Magua.

 The Last of the Mohicans / int_dbc93276
comment
This Is Going to Be Huge: Downplayed and Zig-Zagged. Cora speaks of the French throwing the British out of North America, but only sarcastically and in the sense that it would be better for the colonists seeing how the British treat them. However the colonists later suffer far worse at the hands of the French and their Indian allies than because of any dispute they had with the British. The French also win every battle in the film, but later in history they will lose the war. It also never occurs to her or any other character that the colonists will break with the British and form their own country after the French are gone, though this should be obvious to the audience.

Red Herring: At one point, Heyward pisses off Hawkeye to the point the latter darkly promises, "Someday, I think you and I are going to have a serious disagreement," hinting one of them will come to blows in anger.

Reasonable Authority Figure: Colonel Munro, compared to the other Brits. He refuses to honor the colonists' agreement, but he does so for legitimate military worries of losing his fort. Had his superior officers honored their commitment, he wouldn't have needed the militia. Needless to say, the colonists blame Munro for British duplicity. The Great Huron Sachem, too, From a Certain Point of View. He agrees to burn one of the girls alive as a form of justice for the killing of Magua's children by Cora's father, but is willing to accept Heyward in her place. When Magua protests his ruling not to kill both of them, he lets the others leave in peace.

Color Wash: Autumnal orange and green. Interestingly, Director Mann who is known for his neon urban color schemes, says this is the only film he ever did that had no artificial color wash. He wanted to capture the American woods without artificial lighting because he said they are rarely seen that way in media. Of course, this results in some pretty dark scenes.

Shame If Something Happened: Montcalm gives a version of this trope when he laments what a shame it is that he can't break his word on the terms of surrender he gave to Munro. He then gives Magua a meaningful look before departing. Sure enough, Magua understands implications as well as he understands English.

War Is Hell: Getting involved in a war just because you gave your word and fighting alongside allies who don't like you. Worse is when the war comes to your home and you can't defend it. Then you have the native war parties who come out of nowhere and slaughter everyone, including women and children.

Together in Death: A case can be made for this at least being symbolically done with Uncas and Alice. The two had been developing feelings for each other throughout and after he is killed and his body falls from a cliff she quickly jumps off following him. Their bodies lie next to each other at the bottom of the cliff.

 The Last of the Mohicans / int_fed07537

Mighty Whitey: Definitely present, but mostly subverted. Unlike most versions of this trope where a white male goes native and quickly learns all their ways, Hawkeye was orphaned as a toddler and adopted by the Mohican tribe and grew up with them. While Hawkeye is established to be the best shot of his band of three, and he seems to be the one always taking the lead, it's Chingachgook who defeats the Big Bad.

Shown Their Work: One of the first installments in the trend towards super-detailed historical reenactment. The director built a full-scale model of Fort William Henry and blasted it to smithereens, authentic reproduction muskets were made, leather items were all tanned on-set; a linguist was hired to reconstruct a dead Huron dialect for subtitled scenes.
