Oh, yay, you watched it! I LOVE the film, and it's tons better than the book. The novel, of course, has a much sort of of sunnier take on the end, since the last of the Mohicans means that the white man has finally arrived! Yay! Cooper is very concerned about (enforcing a lack of) miscegenation and while the natives are very, very noble and very, very exotic, they have got to go. Cooper was pretty enthusiastic about the rise of America. What's shocking to me is that undergrads always LOVE the novel. Sigh.

And I have to say, my favorite scene with Alice is when she goes over the edge. It's the most proactive thing she does the whole film! At least Cora is awesome and grabs a pistol after the first time they're ambushed!

Also, Uncas and Natty are HOT. And that cheers me up every time, melancholic end be damned! :D
