: Please, someone just tell me - it wouldn't happen like that - or I'm just nitpicking!!

: Kate.

But, of COURSE you are, Miss Katie! And you do it SO well ... :)

What do I think?

Well ... To me that scene is one of the very best in the movie, ESPECIALLY when Hawkeye chastises Cora! They were in a hurry, in a life or death situation, there was nothing they could do about having 3 Englishmen with them, they HAD to stop & investigate - these were their friends, after all - yet, these considerations to better judgment aside, actually pausing to bury them would have been a dead giveaway that they were foe, not friends ... not to mention Bill's point about time ...

It's, in my opinion, a classicly beautiful scene, from the setting, the characters' stances, the lighting, to the eerie sound, to Uncas' tender touch of Alexandria, to Chingachgook's forcefulness, to Hawkeye's lump (in his throat!), to Cora's backing away ...

I DO love this film!

Good thread started here, Katie!
