: : Has anyone seen LOTM on DVD? I was just wondering how it differs from the original.

: First off, let me welcome you to the board. If you're as hooked on LOTM as the rest of us, you'll fit right in.

: With regard to the DVD version of the movie, you'll definetely get different points of view. Some people like it, others don't. For a review of the version, you can check out the main site and select the DVD Version icon. The Complete Script section also contains the DVD script additions.

: Personally, I'm unable to comment because I don't have a DVD player. From what I've been told, however, the clarity and resolution of the DVD is far superior to the VHS version and while it does contain some additional scenes, there have been some changes in the script. One scene which was not included in the DVD, but which was highly anticipated, was the love scene between Uncas and Alice (*sigh*).

Hi PB,

The answer to your question will be different, according to whichever person you talk to here on the Board. Some people think it's a much better version, some have a REAL Aversion to it!! Again, some like this bit, but not that. In the end, it just comes down to personal choice, so your BEST answer is to - buy it and see how it works for you.

Now WHAT A COINCIDENCE!! You can buy a copy of this DVD by going to your very own, FAVOURITE SITE, Mohicanpress Shoppe!! If you buy this from Amazon, using the Mohicanpress link, YOU actually get to help contribute to keeping this wonderful site alive!! AND it's a mite cheaper there than at some other places!! (I know! I priced it for another new Mohicanite just a few weeks ago! Oh yes, we know ALL about LOTM/DVD/ball headed clubs/fusils de chasse here, friend!!)

At worst, you won't be so happy with it, and can use it as a popcorn dish (if you melt it and reshape it a bit) but at best, you will have an exceedingly high quality DVD of your favourite movie, with many new bits that you will prefer to the video.

BUT THE KEY TO THE WHOLE THING IS - watch it with an open mind. After all, if you already have the video, this is just another version and you can also decide which version you feel like watching, on any given day.

But - I do hope you decide try it and I hope that you'll 'give it a go' as we say here in the Mother Country. The clarity and resolution alone is really something. And where perhaps they may have taken out one of your favourite parts, they have added others that are GREAT! At least SOME say that that is the way of it!!

Kate.
