| Actually, somewhere, way back in the Archives of the old board, there were those proclaiming him to be THE HERO! Really ... |

Yikes! And to think that both my boys had teachers who did show LOTM in class!! Fortunately, they know Hollywood when they see it (my children, anyway - I don't know about the teachers). I saw the movie for the first time when my oldest son told me it was worth watching. 1994, I think. This thread reminds me of a conversation I had years ago with my husband (a serious history freak) re the dangers of Hollywood history. I think the JFK movie was the impetus of the discussion.

| I hope you don't mind a woman's perspective on the historical accuracy of the Last of the Mohicans! Although I can't say that I know a whole lot on the F and I other than what I learned in high school I do know that the movie was awesome. I think that if they were more focused on the historical accuracy they probably wouldn't have made the romance as good as it is. I like the movie the way it is because it is not only somewhat historical but also fantasy. I wouldn't change a thing! |

It was a good love story and I know that movies are meant to entertain,but it really wouldn't have taken that much more effort to get some details correct.While not reaching documentary status,it would have been cool |

What, is it true? Were the 42nd at the great massacre? I've not seen any documentation that the Black Watch were there.
