: Gee, I hate to follow up on my own post, but I think maybe it didn't get noticed, since I posted so late at night, and I wanted to get others' input on this.
: So far we've mentioned a number of incidents in the film where sound was used exceptionally well, either in the engineering of it, or in the creativity of what was put in. To wit: the elk bugles during the elk hunt; a hawk cries overhead as Uncas looks at the devastation in the Camerons' cabin; the sheets billow and snap in the wind as Cora and Duncan sit talking in the field; we hear the mechanics of the rifle working in the courier scene, like rifle is right next to OUR ear!
: Anyone care to add to this list? Other than the general overall high quality of sound in this film, are there specific moments of sound that impress you?
: Myrrh
How about the Bullets zipping by Duncan as he stumbles to his feet by the river?
