最后的莫西干人影评作业 There is so little wrong with this film that I'll get the incidental negatives out ofthe way first. The introductory moments are somewhat confusing, and it takes aboutfifteen or twenty minutes to get the characters and situations straight. MadeleineStowe's British accent is of the "now-you-hear-it, now-you-don't" variety, althoughher performance pretty much makes up for this inconsistency. Finally, the photography surrounding the waterfall is unconvincing. Other than that, The Last ofthe Mohicans is virtually flawless. The classic James Fenimore Cooper's novel is brought to screen is thissuspenseful adventure.We're in 1757, Seven years wars, between French and Englishsoldiers,French supported by Hurons and English by Mohawk and settlers and tribesallied to each side.The story is partially based on true events ,it's a historic fiction.Thescout,frontiersman Hawkeye(Daniel Day Lewis)raised by Mohicans,and Munro's(Maurice Reeves)daughters.Fort Henry is defeated by French colonel(PatrickChereau)and the expedition is attacked by the nasty Magua(Wes Studi) and theHurons,causing an authentic massacre .The brave Hawkeye save to sisters and alongwith the Mohicans and an official(Steve Waddington)flee ,being pursued by therevenge-minded Magua. This is a thrilling film,plenty of graphical violence,blood,love with interracialromance included and breathtaking outdoors.Excellent action sequences with bloodyattacks and spectacular and realistic battles.Charismatic performance for all casting.First rate acting for Daniel Day Lewis as a valiant Hawkeye.Madeleine Stoweis wonderful.Special mention to Wes Studi as an appropriately villainous in apowerful performance.Look for secondary actors to Peter Postlethwaite,DylanBaker,Jared Harris among others.Rousing,memorable score by Trevor Jones andRandy Edelman.Colorful cinematography by Dante Spinotti.The film 1 / 3 achieved Oscarwinner for best sound.The motion picture is marvelously directed by MichaelMann.Another version about this classic story: 1922, mute adaptation by MauriceTourneur and Clarence Brown with Wallace Beery as Magua; the classic 1936 byGeorge B Seitz with Randolph Scott as Hawkeye ;1985 TV movie by James LConway with Steve Forrest and Ned Romero. Rating: Terrific film ,better thanaverage and well worth watching. The Last of the Mohicans is a 1992 historical epic film set in 1757 during theFrench and Indian War. It was directed by Michael Mann and based on JamesFenimore Cooper's classic novel, although it owes more to George B. Seitz's 1936film adaptation than the source novel. The main cast includes Daniel Day-Lewis,Madeleine Stowe, Russell Means, Wes Studi, Eric Schweig and Jodhi May. While the film, like the novel, is more of a historical romance, much care wastaken with recreating accurate costumes and props. The film features a Fort WilliamHenry reconstructed based on historical documents. The siege of the fort is a goodrepresentation of the siege warfare of the 18th century epitomized by GeneralMontcalm's investment of Fort William Henry and the large scale military actions thatmarked the latter phase of the French and Indian War. One scene in the Director's Cutfeatures Heyward and a group of British Grenadiers using the classic rank and fileadvance to decimate a group of French Regulars and enemy natives. This scene fairlyaccurately portrays how British soldiers would have behaved in the theatre and howeffective they were in winning the war. Col. Munro's real name was George, not Edmund. He also did not die in themassacre but in Albany three months later. He instead fled to the forest with othersurvivors and showed up at Fort Edward a few days later. The movie implies that the Huron tribe were responsible for the massacre yet inreality, several tribes were involved. Other tribes included the Abenaki and Penobscotindians. It is also implied that Magua was responsible for initiating the attack,however, no individual person was responsible. 2 / 3 Montcalm did not encourage the massacre as portrayed and was said to havebeen disgusted by it, but he did however cause it by not allowing his Indian allies totake the spoils of war from the defeated English. In reality he and several other Frenchofficers came out of the fort towards the end of the fighting and tried to stop themassacre. He even paid the ransom demands for some of the captives with his ownmoney. Althoughthemovieprimarilyfocusedonthesamecharactersthroughout,theactual attack affected many more. As many as 75 soldiers and camp followers werekilled,andbetween300-500weretakencaptive.Another300-500provincialsandregulars escaped or found refuge with the French. 3 / 3 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/5811e4cb53ea551810a6f524ccbff121dd36c584.html
