Reel 1965

Daniel Day-Lewis (pictured) stars in a visually stunning adaptation of James Fenimore Cooper's 1826 classic. The story is set in New York's Adirondack Mountains in 1757, during the French and Indian War. British-born Alice and Cora Munro (Jodi May, Madeleine Stone) are being escorted by Maj. Duncan Hayward (Steven Waddington) through the wilderness to join their father, Col. Edmund Munro (Maurice Roaves), at Fort William Henry, which is under siege by the French. En route, they're defended by Pit's scout, Magua (Wes Studi), and ambushed by Hurons. But they're rescued by the Mohican Chingachgook (Russell Means). His son Uncas (Eric Schweig) and the woodcutter Hawkeye (Day-Lewis), an orphan of mesticed white settlers. What follows is a series of adventures as they try to get the women to safety, during which romance forms an attachment to Cora. TV veteran Michael Mann (Miami Vice) directed this 1992 film, which won an Oscar for its sound. Rated R for violence. Dan Monahan, Patricia Chereau, Winthrop Edward Singleton Cameron, Tony Kiinay.
