Hey Scott,
The CSPAN broadcast a couple of years ago featuring JFC indicated that Natty Bumppo remained celebant his entire life.

Scott,
You are quite right. Which means that Sara Donati's books are take-offs from Mann's movie, NOT Cooper's book.
I never really thought of it that way! Hmmmm.
YHOS,

The hero that can't allow himself to be tied down by a female is a time-honored American tradition, which I suppose JFC had a major hand in starting.
And of course American puritanism being what it is, he can't allow himself to get any along the way.
Until the sixties came along, anyway.
And even then, the female often gets killed off.
But then, if I remember my Bond correctly, the English favor this method as well. |

| Hi English Trader. You know, I don't have the the faintest idea who could play a younger Hawkeye because DDL is imprinted on my mind! I read a rumour a while back that "Deerslayer" was going to be filmed, and that Orlando Bloom (who plays Legolas in "Lord of the Rings") was being considered for the role. I don't know what became of that. |

| I reckon Heath Ledger from The Patriot and A Knights Tale would make a good 'young Hawkeye' or even possibly Nathanial from Sara Donati's books. He would need to have dark hair extensions or a wig, but I think he has the right look about him. He also has an incredibly sexy voice and smouldering eyes... |

| Ellie, Heath Ledger has a cute little nose and I've come to associate Hawkeye with a hawk nose a la DDL.:) |

| awwwwwwww no heart scene...like I've said in other posts, I haven't read the book (yes, Ithi, I will plan to...once I find it...no one give it to ithi or vix, they'll make me...me...READ! i dont like to read), but I loved this movie. I know Ithi said the movie was nothing like the book, and when I went to rent the movie at the store, the people there said it was more like the book, minus some of the gore scenes and battles and stuff...but we'll see how it is...I'll post something here...if vix doesnt get to it first *wink* |

| heh heh...i got here first. I would just like to say that I wouldn't watch the old Lotm movie for a million dollars. It was ok, but the more recent one was soooo much better...for instance, Uncas is just plain ugly, chingachgook looks exactly like Uncas, Hawkeye has blond hair and a mustache, Duncan is extremly thin, and there is absolutly no romance...well, we paused it towards the end and couldnt get it to play again, so you never know. The music was just plain annoying. If you call it music. It was more of suspensful cords here or there that didn't last that long...The only person that looked pretty much the same was Magua. The older Magua was fatter, but they look pretty much the same. For an all around rating, I'd have to say, don't watch it unless you have nothing else to do and you want to see the comparison. They also show David Gammit (for all those who read the book) in it, who was probably the best part of the whole film. |
