No matter who we are, what we do, where we live, nearly all of us on this message board have one thing in common: a love of The Last of the Mohicans; not to mention a love of some of the characters portrayed therein  , but we won't delve into that just now. 
So, please, do tell - when did this love affair first start for you?
What were your thoughts and reactions when you first watched the movie?
What are your thoughts and reactions when you watch it now, after... (go ahead, tell us how many) times? 
You may just vote if you prefer, but please don't be shy. Make a post, too, and tell us all about your love of LOTM. |

Have to agree with you, Irish. Absolutely love the music and listen to it quite often . However, I do find it disappointing that the "Kiss" isn't longer. If you skip down 2 songs you come across the one that sounds like "The Kiss" but lasts 10x longer and that one I listen to over and over and over and imagine Uncas and me under the falls. Light moves in closer and whispers, "Don't worry for Alice. She knows how to swim. Now where were we? Oh, yes... "
Also Irish...I want to give you a great big thank you for pointing out your status as DeerSlayer! That just brought out the Screaming Huron Lady!!!! What's a girl gotta' do to move up a notch! I've posted my brains out!!!! |

I first saw the movie on tv with my older sister. My mother was not happy about me watching such a "graphic" movie at my age back then but she knew she couldn't pull me away from the movie. My sister was so in love with Haweye and went nutts everytime she saw him on the screen...I thought she was odd until I saw my first look at Uncas and went gah-gah! I have seen the movie a million times and own it on VHS and DVD. |

I must say that I never watched or even remember when LOTM came out in the movie theater. I became interested in the movie simply because of the beautiful music. I was in my kitchen and my son had the tv on and I heard the music and was hooked. I watched what was left of the movie (last 20 minutes or so). Throughout the years I would catch glimpses of the movie when it was on t.v. Finally, in 2001 I rented the VHS, sat down with a bowl of popcorn and fell in love!! I was swept away with the music and just the overall beauty of the location, the music and just Hawkeye!! Watching LOTM is my secret treat, which I do once a month or so. I have the soundtrack in my car cd player, whenver I am sitting in traffic I play "The Kiss" and have a Calgon moment. ...sigh |

  I FIRST SAW LOTM IN 1993...VHS RELEASE....MY MIDDLE SON WHO WAS 14 AT THE TIME AND HIS BEST FRIEND WERE HAVING A SLEEPOVER AND WE WENT TO THE VIDEO STORE AND PURCHASED IT.
WELL.....THEY WERE BOTH COMPLETELY MESMERIZED....AND IN THIS WORLD OF VIDEO GAMES AND HI-TECH. ..I KNEW IF IT HAD THIS EFFECT ON THEM......THAT IT JUST WASN'T ME....AWE STRUCK BY THE NATURE OF IT ALL. THE ACTORS, THE CINEMATOGRAPHY, AND THE INCREDIBLE MUSIC I ALSO HAVE THE SECOND VHS RELEASE, THE DVD RELEASE AND THE DIRECTORS CUT...YOU KNOW ALWAYS LOOKING FOR JUST A LITTLE MORE OF THE MOVIE. I HATE TO ADMIT HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE WATCHED IT--[OVER 500]...I ALWAYS SET THE REMINDERS FOR IT WHEN IT IS ON CABLE...THAT IS USUALLY 4-5 TIMES A WEEK...AND I JUST LET IT PLAY IN THE BACKGROUND WHILE I AM DOING HOUSE STUFF. I AM TRULY IN LOVE WITH THIS MOVIE....OBCESSED ..WELL MAYBE...BUT IN A GOOD WAY....I JUST APPRECIATE THE REALNESS OF IT AND ITS LINK WITH OUR COUNTRY'S PLIGHT IN THE EARLY YEARS....WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE BEEN THERE.
OH YEAH I ALSO LOVE THE LORD OF THE RINGS!!! BUT LET US NOT GO THERE....THAT WOULD CALL FOR A WHOLE OTHER WEB SITE.

I saw it in theater too when it first came out. The whole story line hypnotized me and I'm afraid I've been a brainwashed zombie ever since.
To this day the ending scene has me on the edge of my seat, with eyes glued to the screen, and shedding tears when Uncas and Alice die!

I first saw it at the theater when it first came out...'course I was just a child then...
The opening music and the deerhunt really sunk the hook into me. And then there was Magua...WS totally dominated the whole movie. |

I first saw this magnificent movie in the theater. I remember thinking what beautiful scope and scenery! I was entranced by the whole of it but fell in instand lust/love with Uncas. Yes I know I have to take a number and get in line, lol. Hawkeye takes a distant second place behind Uncas imho. I have since seen it in every imaginable way and would watch it a hundred more. If only we could have the whole movie as it was filmed - uncut and unrated. |

I first watched this movie probably around 93 or so, on HBO (I think) I remember walking into the living room captivated by scenery and music. Then when a scene of Uncas came on, I became an instant fan!! I soon after ran out and bought the VHS and watched in daily. At the time my friends made fun of me b/c I watched it soo much. Probably since 97 I haven't really watched it b/c my life became soo busy after high school graduation. Recently I came across it playing on TV and am now addicted again!!!! I plan on running out and renting the DVD asap. Although from what I've heard on this website I"ll be disappointed in the director's version...I was hoping for the love scene under the falls w/ Alice and Uncas. Before I didn't care for the Hawkeye/Cora love story, but now I do, maybe b/c I'm older. But I've always felt that Alice and Uncas's love story was better and should have had more scenes in the movie. Anyway now that I've typed a book, I just wanted to say after all these years I am soo excited to find this website... I am not the only one out there obsessed with a movie and an indian :) |

My parents introduced me to LOTM. I can remember my Dad telling me the story when I was about eight, this was based on the book though. We've had the DVD for a while but I didn't actually sit down and watch it until last summer. Needless to say I completely fell for Uncas, and was mortified when he died even though the concept of dying for love is so romantic. Hence LOTM was banished from sight. My sister happened to be watching it last week, and well, I just had to sit and watch it with her. This time I was kind of prepared for Uncas' death but still was a bit down afterwards. Normally me and my best friend agree on what films we like so that we can talk over them together - not this time. She has never really liked LOTM - shocking I know, I'm trying to make her see reason, or else. I was then searching on the net for LOTM when I found this website, and the rest they say, is history. |

I was going to say that too but felt it inappropriate since you are so young. Still, for one so young, you sure can pick 'em. |

I voted the 1993 video release. I pretty much grew up on the movie, since it came out in theaters a year after I was born. My mom started me on my love of it, as she loved it herself. I remember watching it as a little kid, always thinking the words "GO good indians and Nathaniel!!" It was a gr8 movie I have enjoyed since I was little and will always be that way. PS the music is excellent!! |

Hmmm ... who couldnt help but want some of that ... He looks so good in LOTM. I get palpitations everytime I see him in it 
My fave look is the one after theyve rescued the ladies and theyre making their way to the Fort. As Alice climbs up a rocky outcrop they show Uncas looking at her ... he looks sooooo gorge there ...  |
