There has been much discussion about what may have happened between Hawkeye and Cora in "The Kiss" scene in the Fort, that we viewers did not see. I thought it would be interesting to take a Valentine's Day Poll on this subject. Please feel free to give your comments and reasons below, but Please! Keep it clean and tasteful!

Whatever the case may be, it's pretty much perfect for the scene!

Well, if you can't remember where you found it, then maybe you did write it and just forgot. One of the advantages of growing older. Lack of memory. When convenient. |

Can't claim credit, WW, but I forget where I found it. |

Whew..... feeling a little breathless right now......
Did you write that, Sachem? If so........ wow. If not..... still wow. Beautiful words put together beautifully.
I went back to the beginning of that thread (because I thought I remembered that I started it), and that was a fun trip down memory lane. It reminded me how much I miss Scott Bubar, for one thing. And it's difficult to believe that it was nearly 10 years ago! 10!!!!! |

And what is a kiss, specifically? A pledge properly sealed, a promise seasoned to taste, a vow stamped with the immediacy of a lip, a rosy circle drawn around the verb "to love." A kiss is a message too intimate for the ear, infinity captured in the bee's brief visit to a flower, secular communication with an aftertaste of heaven, the pulse rising from the heart to utter its name on a lover's lip: 'Forever'. |

I dunno'...that jittery feeling gets a lot of us to "WooHoo" and then "DOUHT!" later on.
No this is not a confession, Obi!

Sorry to interrupt all the talk of WooHoo, though it leaves me wondering just what kind of movies Obediah watches! "Horizontal drilling"?  Reminds me of "Log Jammin'"..."Big Lebowsky," anyone?
I voted for a lot of kissing but not all the way. Don't get me wrong, I like the thought of WooHoo, but I can't see it happening here. First of all, Hawkeye and Cora are at the top of a fort, just around the corner from a whole bunch of other people. Cora's father and wanna-be husband are also at the fort.  WooHoo doesn't seem likely to me at this point, but, then again, they are in the middle of a warzone and may not live through the night, so why not? 
As far as their satisfied looks go.... I figure that if Cora's considering marriage to Duncan (whom she clearly doesn't love "that way") she maybe hasn't really been "in love" before. Nathaniel is probably unlike any man she's ever known--dangerously, rough-around-the-edges attractive--and his mutual attraction to her is undoubtedly magnetic (who can forget "I'm looking at you, miss"?).  But I think that lots and lots and LOTS of empassioned kissing may be satisfying enough to someone in Cora's situation. Think about that wonderfully jittery feeling that comes from just kissing someone for the first time--especially if that someone is your first real "love." That could be enough to create some satisfied faces, I think, without WooHoo.
I'd rather save the WooHoo for later, when there's more time and fewer people around to interrupt!  |

'Horizontal polka' huh?
This reminds me of some lines from a TV movie I saw a few years ago. The hero was asking the girl about oil wells...
Q: Do you know what 'horizontal drilling' is?
A: Yeah, it happens right after making out.
WooHoo! |

There's a lot of Woo-Hoo'ing going on! Pretty cool that we're all in the same mindset. Or is it just plain scary?

That's ok, nekut. Slow-mo has always been one of my favorite things!
Do you think they could slow-mo Uncas and Alice? |

Hey Tony! I didn't know you haunted over here too!!!
I voted WOOOOOHOOOOOO
You can't tell me with their expressions before, during and after there wasn't more than a kiss.
I thought it was beautifully and tastefully done tho.
Just made you wish your man would do the same....haa haa haaa..... I'm married to an Aussie soldier, I have two chances Buckley's and None! |

Spontaneous combustion IMO.
I cant see Hawkeye or Cora for that matter just being satisfied with a kiss, especially since their circumstances were in itself so tenuous. There might never have been another opportunity ... so Woo Hoo all the way!!! |

Yep, next year is also the 250th anniversary of the fall of Ft. William Henry. A release of the entire LOTM movie would be a great marketing tie-in. A pipe dream I've mentioned in these parts before.
Anybody know M. Mann or the folks at Fox?

Yeah Keira we all do. We can only live in hope that someday Michael Mann will release a DVD with everything that was shot on it. It would sell like hotcakes. Next year is the 15 year anniversary so who knows. |

Irishgirl and Raindrops you have a good point there.I just wish I could see the Uncas and Alice love scene someday.. |
| Irishgirl |
Posted - May 15 2006 : 11:42:47 PM
Raindrops you make an excellent point about Uncas. Since they had a "love scene" in the cave, I guess going by lonewolf's explanation of things, they were as good as married. This would definitely throw some light on why Uncas raced like a man possessed up the steep rocks to rescue Alice. I still wish Michael Mann had left that scene in and it would have avoided a lot of confusion and questions as to why Uncas raced off by himself, throwing all caution to the wind, to save a girl he barely knew and to whom he had hardly spoken at all. He did feel obligated to save Alice from whatever fate Magua had in mind for her. |

Thinking about it now, I wonder if lonewolf's explanation can help us understand the relationship between Alice and Uncas. Considering the cut out love scene it makes more sense that Uncas was in such a hurry after Magua took Alice away. Did he feel obliged? |

paazau I totally agree with your beautifully written comment to lonewolf's post. 
I am very interested in Indian culture and it's so great to get information from the source. I admire their way of life and agree with you about the world benefiting from adopting their ways. 
Unfortunately,living in the UK I hardly have a chance to come across any American Indians. 
Regarding "the Kiss" I always thought that what we see on the screen is all that happened. I didn't take Indian perspective into consideration (I didn't know what it was anyway), I just felt that way when I first watched LOTM. Realistic or not, it's a beautiful scene.  |

Thank you for the link to this topic Wilderness Woman! What a treasure trove the archives must be...
I initially said "all the way", and still will as that was my inital feeling on it. I can't add anything to the many and varied reasons already given, so will simply say "I agree", with a from the terms and ideas expressed.
I must add, though, after reading lonewolf's post I see that I was interpreting the scene using 'my version of the truth' and not considering the characters' realities. Thank you lonewolf for the wonderfully enlightening information you shared. Yet one more aspect of the Indian culture which is fascinating in it's sensibility. The rest of the world could truly benefit from adopting some of these ways. |

Might be the plains Indians were a tad different that the eastern Indians, - but a good read is Lewis & Clark's expedition. Journals was kept by some of the expedition, and sexual shyness wasn't a problem for any concerned, - long winters on the plains etc. One member from Boston I believe, thought he managed to get to heaven without dying. |
