If you could snatch just one main character from the jaws of death at the appropriate moment in the film, who would you save? |

I wouldn't mind a peice of Uncas flesh myself.
Me too. I first I despised him for sacrificing so many frontier people for the sake of military standing. Even with that said I hate seeing man take lives especially when they were never intended to do so. |

Magua without question. Take away the villian, - and there's no story left. |

Wow Susquesus, thanks for the info. I wondered why I was "lost in the wilderness" also. Hey, now i'm a pathfinder so it's getting better. It'll take me a couple of years to catch up to you guys.  kidding.... 
I seriously need to stop coming into this website during the early hours, cause I always forget to log on.  I guess my brain doesn't fully function during the early am hours. Anyway, I posted the above comment.... Now i'm going to sleep since I can't think straight. |

AND...I wanted him to have a chance to "be" with Alice, he deserved a little bit of happiness.
Hello UncasGrl,
That is bound to make people go rosy! Although I think I'd have to agree with you...but what I don't get is why didn't Alice do something? Don't give me that "prim and proper" excuse 'cause if it had been me I would have done something. She could have ousted the guard, taken a gun and shot Magua in the back *OR* she could have ran in front of Uncas and refused to move *OR* my favorite and personal choice: Rush Magua and pushed him off the edge of the mountain.

Like so many other people, I would choose Uncas, mostly because him and Chingachgook are the last of their kind, and....well, that's a sad thing! =( |

I would have to pick Uncas, because anyone who is that beautiful deserves to live. I believe when I say this, i'm speaking for many women out there. Besides, I know i'm not the only one that was left craving for more Uncas flesh.... (yum-yum)  |

Hmmm...a lot of people made very good points to who they would want to live. Although, I had to go with Uncas. It just seems so unfair to me that a man who risks his life for the woman he loves, ends up dying in the process. I thought that was the most brave action in the movie. And as someone already stated, if Uncas would have lived it would have changed Alice and Magua's
fate. Plus, I think that Alice and Uncas would have ended up together and I would have liked to see that happen. :)

"Of Course Gollum deserves death! And there are many dead who deserve life--can you give it to them?" More or less a quote of Gandalf to Frodo in the Lord of the Rings. It sets the stage that here, I could raise up only one, not the many.
I do see an advantage snatching one main character, since I chose Alexandra. Since she would need comfort in her widowhood, things might work out well in time. (Since I got married in 1992, wouldn't I be footloose and fancy free in 1757?) How naughty of me! |

I voted for Colonel Munro just because I can't stand to see a good Scotsman get wasted...although I do admit had he lived Hawkeye and Cora probably wouldn't have had as easy a time with their romance. However, I was always sad that Cora lost both her father and her sister...I hold family in high regard and couldn't imagine facing the world with no blood kin left...Plus Colonel Munro would have had great war stories too, and what a fantastic accent... |

I had to vote for Uncas too. I think that Magua would have died either way, whether Uncas lived or not, but at least if he had lived, then Uncas and Alice would be together.
Love,

I vote for Uncas. If his life had been saved then Alice and even Magua's fate might have been different. |
