Film Review: The Last Of Th Mohicans
I really enjoyed reading your discussion post about how the Appalachian Region was betrayed in the movie The Last of th Mohicans. You said, "the scene that stuck out to me the most was the scene where Alice committed suicide to free herself from Magua." This scene is one of my favorites as well, when talking about seneray. Throughout the movie, the mountains display different meanings. Just like you said, the mountains can be depict as somewhat of a safe haven.
Up until this assignment, I have never put much thought into the scenery of a particular scene of a film. Thus, this understanding now gives a scene that much more meaning.

    In the film ‘The Last of The Mohicans’ directed by Michael Mann, an important idea that was shown throughout the film is loss of innocence. Loss of innocence is something that often involves a new understanding of the nature of humanity and its potential for good or evil. Cora is a character that portrays this theme well. The director uses close ups, medium shots and point of view shots to capture Cora evolving into a strong and courageous woman.…

    For this essay I will be focusing on the scene in which Melanie is heading to the school to see Annie when they are suddenly attacked by numerous birds while trying to get the school children to safety. I will be focusing on the two micro features, sound and cinematography. The sound that is used in a film can be used to deliver information about what the atmosphere of the scene is or what a character’s state of mind is during the specific scene while cinematography supplies the audience with appropriate ways to ‘read’ the specific scene.…

    The Last of the Mohicans, written by James Fenimore Cooper, represents colonial American people through a romantic view. This movie is during the French and Indian war in the 1820’s. The war was going one all throughout the movie and was used for many of the scenes in the movie. The movie was about love and romance between a couple of the Mohican men and a couple of the British women. The Last of the Mohicans is a movie of romance and blind love. The movie shows that people will follow their heart for their love instead of them following their brain and having a better chance of living. It also shows that love will always prevail.…

    Last Mohicans

    The Last of the Mohicans: A Narrative of 1757 is a historical novel by James Fenimore Cooper. It was later produced and directed into a movie by Michael Dunn in 1992. Both the novel and movie have been hugely successful. But after reading the novel and seeing the movie I could see a huge difference between the two. For one, the movie portrayed characters very differently, and also left out characters from the novel. In addition the movie showed more of a personal relationship between Hawkeye, the Mohicans, and the colonial men. Plus scenes from the movie didn’t match up properly with what Cooper had written.…

    Conflict resolution is at the forefront of the film’s basis, whereby the sombre and moody lighting schemes, the fast paced alteration of camera angles, and the isolation of the setting create emotional undertones that form a dynamic film. Whilst it is easy to underestimate the power that mis-en-scene and visual effects have on a film, Gran Torino would undoubtedly be a much less riveting story, had these film techniques not worked together in unison. Ultimately, Gran Torino’s visually stimulating narrative allows the audience to understand that even the most trying of situations can be interpreted positively through improved conflict…
