:I noticed the following, and hope you folks will comment. Prior to being under the falls, Alice's hair hangs straight down in disarray. When Uncas grabs her from stepping out and giving their presence away her hair is the same. Immediately following their 'moment'when the Huron's enter the cave we see Cora and Alice confronted by Magua. Alice is sporting two braids, one on either side of her face. She carries those braids with her to the death. Likewise, I noticed after running the tape slow several times, Uncas is sporting two slender braids, one behind each ear, following his 'moment with Alice.

Danalee,

I noticed that one awhile back -- that point at which her hair shows up looking like his. I like to think that in the gaps between footage (those moments they DIDN'T film, darn it), she's done her hair like his on purpose. She would have been young and silly enough that that would have struck her fancy to imitate him or something, and after having had that body contact at the burial ground and then the soon-to-be-seen kissing scene behind the waterfall (fingers crossed), braiding her hair like his is JUST the kind of thing she would have done.

Heck -- I'd have worn a mohawk if I was in HER shoes and that's what he wore!!!

Cheers,
Sarah
