: : : After Uncas was killed by Magua and after Alice takes her swan dive over the cliff, the camera pans down to a shot of the rocks below. With these shots, are we supposed to see the bodies of Uncas and Alice lying together on the rocks? My eyesight isn't what is once was, so all I can make out is a flash of white, especially after Alice goes skydiving without the parachute. I've even tried pausing the tape frame by frame, but can't make anything out. As I get older, my eyesight gets poorer, but I'd sure like to know if we're supposed to be seeing something in those shots! Are things any clearer in the DVD version?

: : Hi, Jeri!
: : You will be glad to know that when you see LOTM on the big screen, you CAN make out Alice and Uncas lying next to each other. I paid special attention to that at our first Gathering, and was happy to see it shows up fairly well.

: Hi MMMMarcia!
: THANK YOU!! Next week, my daughter and I are hosting a LOTM film party and will be viewing the movie on a 64 inch TV, so I'll be watching for that particular scene.

Way to go, Jeri! I had my own LOTM party a few weeks ago and it went wonderfully. Just be sure to let me know...how many women in the room go for Hawkeye, and how many are Uncas fans? I had a number of Uncas converts at my showing, despite my constant praise of all things Hawkeye...keep us posted...
