The Last of the Mohicans Review | THIS film is incredible! 

Ah man... I hate to sound old and nostalgic, but I will stand by saying that the mid-90's was the one of the best periods for film. Movies like The Last Of The Mohicans, Rob Roy, Heat, Goodfellas, Shawshank... epics, with great story telling and deep character development, good editing and pacing, and good, realistic special effects. They just don't make many like that any more...

Last of the Mohicans is one of my all time favourite films, and the score is one of the best, if not the best, score of all time. I get chills every time I hear 'The Kiss' theme.

This is one of my very favorite films. I always end up comparing other films to this when it comes to cinematography and fight choreography.

"The Last of the Mohicans" by Michael Mann indeed is one of my all-time favourite films. You already pointed out the reasons. It deserves deeper analysis concerning its cinematography. Have you ever considered making longer videos on this topic? As a special edition, I mean.

I saw this movie when I was 13, and that age, I thought it was boring. I think this one definitely deserves a rewatch. Also, the meaning you were able to pull out of these scenes was something else! It seems like there are a thousand and one techniques that the layperson wouldn’t necessarily be conscious of, but enhances the viewing experience, nevertheless. Thanks for another great vid, Eric! 🖖😀

A bus? Come on, people! Everyone knows Native Americans of that period and before preferred American muscle cars. Even Pocahontas had a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Superbird! I do recall it being credited for period accuracy, but there were also some significant deviations from the book.

I love that both villains have true motives, and their own sense of honor.

I saw this movie when it came out in videocassette in 1993, I was 12, got a huge crush on Alice Munro, and it got me into all kinds of 'historical" movies.

It’s one of my favorite movies!

My dad and I watched this last night. One of his favorite movies. The music and cinematography are very good.

Subscribed. Your analysis, and insight, is fantastic. Only wish the videos are 3x longer.

Thank you, THANK YOU for doing this! Michael Mann has made a number of hugely influential movies, and I believe this gem really is one of them. Even though it has not really had the credit it deserves, this was a real 'before-and-after' movie in terms of cinematic impact. The outdoor cinematography was so influential, that you can often guess which films were made before or (more importantly) AFTER the Last of the Mohicans by the style of the outdoor photography. The trouble he took over the general look of the movie (including costumes, hair etc.) has also paid off, because it has aged brilliantly, and still looks very fresh. I have absolutely loved this movie since seeing it as a teenager at the cinema (several times) when it was released, and many, many, MANY times since. And (to me) Hawkeye's run to save Cora from being scalped in the ambush still holds up as one of the most a beautifully filmed pieces of dramatic heroism to appear in ANY movie.

Love the video. I always though that movie was underestimated.

I’ve never seen this film. I’ll have to watch it. Thanks for the review.

Great Movie...

One of the best films ever. Great review. 👍👍👍

One of the great war movies of all time!

WHAT A PRETTY LADY

Michel Mann was always thorough about his aesthetics; for example his Miami Vice series became iconic in the way it visually defined not just Florida but a particular 80's style altogether. It's impressive that he could also apply that talent to depict a historic epic set mostly in the wilderness. This movie is a piece of art in many ways.

Excellent insights on how the filmmakers used camera and lighting techniques to advance the exceptionally well-developed storytelling. As a historian, The Last of Mohicans movie convincingly explains how the Colonists and Brits could go from victory in the French and Indian War to fighting each other in a little over a decade. The mutual disdain of the English-speaking allies is evident. This movie is in my top five all-time favorites. Great review and thanks for sharing.

One of the best films ever made

It should have a re world release again especially for the newer generation.

I'd be interested to know your thoughts on the cinematography in "Unforgiven" that came out the same year -- particularly the shooting in low light/natural light.

I randomly found your channel...im an artist/illustrator potentially interested in storyboarding, this kind of info is very helpful to me. :) I love last of the mohicans.---okay side note/edit- I think from a storytelling perspective, I would have loved to see some building up of the love interest of Alice munro and Uncas...like it could have been very short dialogue or something that built the connection...I remember being very moved by her gesture at the end...but then watching it a second time, I thought, 'but..why?" I just felt that there could have been a little more there to pack a punch at the end.

You forgot the crew member wearing a blue ball cap holding a bullhorn loud speaker walking behind the red coats right before the ambush. Micheal Mann, the D.P. and Whoever else watched the dailys didn't do a good job!

Italian Americans right now are like the last Mohicans. Our population dropped so much during the crack pandemic. 😒

If you see dance with wolf and the last Mohican you now the thrue of the colonists and if you now the story of Pocahontas boing her lace in England you will now how is the American people of America

I have to be honest, this is probably one of the most overrated movies I have ever watched.

Boring. You ruined explaining this movie.
