Thanks for pointing out the no dialogue aspect because I didn’t notice!

Nice. I had to watch it again. Its hands down cool. I love home. USA

The best

And Duncan was the hero. Badass Duncan!

@@laalki80 he was a bit of a jealous dick through the whole film but he more than redeemed himself at the end. A true patriot. All of the casting was sensational in this film

There was a scene where the father said: no father should have to bury his son. That's the one that gets me

Destroys me

@@TahirAli-eg6hf I think that was Theoden in TTT

@@TahirAli-eg6hf yea that was one of the Lord of the Rings films. A rather stupid statement to be honest though, considering throughout history roughly 4 out of 5 children die before their father....

@@TahirAli-eg6hf thats lord of the rings

Yeah, in the beginning, you hear how her character is excited to be in the colonies even though the Seven Year's War is on.

@natalierozean5989 Thank you for this comment

❤

Absolutely. Every second of this last scene is brilliant. Beyond words

In James Fenimore’s book, the “Dark Child” was supposed to be the Colonel’s mistress’ child, possibly a part black child, who was Alice’s caretaker. That would explain her strength and Alice’s submissiveness at the beginning of the film. ❤❤❤❤😮😮😮😮

Man i just said somethin similar to this in this thread! Awesome dude!

お父さんの息子さんは女性の為にしかも同じ部族では無い白人である会って間もない女性の為に命懸けで戦い命を落とし、その仇を取ったお父さんは本当の父でなんとコメントして良いか分かりません。

Especially after killing his son.

That's a hard saying right there bother 🔥🔥

Am I the only one who views Magua in sympathise way?

"I second that"

true

agreed

The best thing about these 7 minutes is the fact that it's all settled at the beginning. From the moment the chieftain speaks nothing could go otherwise - that was just the trigger, everything after that was predictable. It's just a clear consequence of the way the characters think and act, their skills and ablities... It had to happen like this. And the music perfectly underlines it. It is a story of destiny unfolding - not in a philosophical sense, just very practical. Noone could have really acted differently and no other outcome was possible. The whole film set up these 7 minutes. Some of the characters could have saved their lives... but they would have to act out of character. So much has happened in those 7 minutes... But it was all decided earlier. All this was just what had to happen. For me that's the most touching part of this scene. What do you prefer? Would you choose to survive, whatever it takes? Or be yourself until the last second?

Indeed. Fantastic movie

Movies like this, _Master and Commander_ , and arguably _Dances With Wolves_ : we need so many more of that kind.

@@LordofDeadside. I u dont know... Check out "Lucky Number Slevin"

2024 IT'S STILL THE BEST

BEST OF THE Best!!!

Fantastic in every way, still to this day.

It's a masterpiece

10 years old! It's a bit too young, there are such violent scenes in this movie. Wonderful movie though

@@rosa7479 This is a slight aside, but I watched this film when I was 11 when it came out. I think it was rated 15 in the UK. My parents let me watch aliens, predator, the Schwarzenegger films when I was maybe 10/11 and they were all rated 18. My mum watched The good, the bad and the ugly with me and my brother when we were probably about 10/11 too and that was rated 18 (and still is, I think, although I'm not sure why) because it was her favourite film as a kid. No-one really seems to give a shit about the rating system in the UK. I'm not saying it's a good thing necessarily, but it did instil a love of film in me and I appreciate my parent's honesty and trust. In most of the Indiana Jones films absolutely horrifying things happened but they're PG here and there's a surprising amount of swearing in children's films from the 80's, but it's (rightly, I think) considered reasonable because thats how life is and so why sugar coat it? The violence in these films never made me or anyone I knew want to be violent or replicate it because we recognised it was just a film. Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Mad Max 2 Beverly Hills Cop, Full Metal Jacket...I watched all those films before I was 13. Again, all they did was make me enjoy cinema. Funnily enough, the only film that my brother and I couldn't sit through was Beetlejuice, because it was too scary and I think that was a 12 rating. We actually cleaned the house whilst my parents were out so as to distract ourselves. I think it was the giant striped worms. I haven't seen the film for years.

Instead of tears my small 10 year old mind could only give silence before the badassery that was the old man squashing his son's killer like a bug and then scraping him off his moccasins in disgust. Uncas was a good son but I'm thinking a little less the lover boy and a tad more time spent with dad learning the secrets of mountain top knife fighting and ass stomping techniques of the mohicans wouldnt have been time wasted but its the same with every generation you just cannot get kids to plan ahead and they always need dad to come bail them out.

1996 when i was four. same.

Bruva it hits me the same way no cap

No single scene, choreographed over 5 mins, hits like this overview all cinema productions. This scene is a masterpiece, deserving any and all accolades. Even though Daniel Day Lewis is a master of his craft bar none, in this scene he was secondary to the directors' vision of perfection

The arterial spray on uncas's chin is somehow way more violent than if they showed the actual knife cut 👏

эт точно. остальное всё мура

Accept the rubber stones jiggling.

Duncan was a disillusioned fool. Yes, he did redeem himself but...

Didnt he ... just translated too directly. It was Hawkeye wanting to take him instead, Duncan said exactly this ... and the indians, well, acted accordingly. Always be careful as a translator

​@@voxdraconia4035No Duncan willingly sacrificed himself. He said "take me I'm an English officer take me"

Correct. Duncan intended to take his place. “My compliments Sir, take her & get out” His last words

Eventually be proved himself but he had to be humbled a few times

A scene thats always filled me with mystery and wonder at the intensity and complexity of feeling and pathos. Compelling and unbearable at the same time.

Vc é fera!

Right. Yo I was like running right behind Chingachgook. Omg this shit was too real.

Perfectly stated. Also - the scenery and the MUSIC! Without a doubt a masterpiece and really underrated film.

well said..respect to the director

Why dosent Magua move before Chingachook delivers the final blow?

​@@eronifitiao6660 He is too weak. All the areas where he has been hit now has him stunned.

@@NostalgicGamerRickOShay Plus he faced his death honourably. Compared to the book Magua, Wes Studi played him as simply angry and wanting vengeance, but not shady, underhand and sneaky.

@@eronifitiao6660 That downward chop by Chingachkook with the club would have shattered his scapula. He would barely have been conscious through the shock and pain. Like the fight between Hector and Achilles in "Troy", a good hit to the shoulder means the fight is over. Its just a matter of the victor to finish off the loser.

The roundhouse blow, unforgettable

True. A Native American playing a Native American, and speaking his native Cherokee language, which, coincidently, is similar to the Huron language.

It's Wes and DDL that steal the show.

Wes Studi had me halfway rooting for Magua

Wes studi movie

I think it's the acne scars 🤣

Best villains are not thugs but have a honour code. Wes Studi did not torture his victim, he was willing to kill with some dignity. Its a movie remember, real life is more messy.

@@boshirahmed they make them out to be "honorable villains" which largely conflicts with actual History. Had she not Dove off the cliff, she would be enslaved, raped and even cannabalized

@@Lord_of_the_Pies Yes but films are made for entertainment and made to make people feel good about themselves. It's better than most movies which show natives as just helpless victims. Really life is more horrible and there is real acts of mercy in real life too. Both sides had hero's and villains.

@@Lord_of_the_Pies It doesn't conflict with anything. The movie never says that all acted in this fashion. They're all individuals. Judge them on that score.

And insanely underrated as an actor.

Why is it crazy you watched this? Cartoons had way more violence back then

@ten3195 you read it wrong. I'm just saying after all of those years the song still makes me feel a way.

Same here I am 33 now this movie is just amazing

Yes I'm 35 too, but when I was child it was better. 😔

I have this same reaction. When I hear this music I just must stop. And I feel so much sadness

Love how hawkeye held those guys at bay. It was uncas dads fight not his. Classic!

45 and I know this movie is EVERYTHING. I try to pass on the love but most kids these days don't have the attention span unfortunately. Still on my bucket list to go to the park in North Carolina where they filmed that final scene.

❤❤​@@actuary33

I've barely got a year on you and I've always thought the exact same thing.

There's more films than just Marvel and DC. Your comment doesn't make any sense

​@@robertromero9488the real sadness of modern times Is that people use Marvel films like a comparative model.

Great! making fun of me made you feel good? Congratulations on that you idiots

AMEN! Just good movies. No messages or motives JUST good cinema 😢 happy to have been apart of the 90’s to 2000’s cinema! 🦅🇺🇸

+Sacred Atheist Everyone is coloured

+Paul Cruden Y. But so many great actors in those 10 minutes. My favorite is still Jodhi May as Alice. Even so Russel Means expression when he sees Uncas fall is giving me goosebumps as well...

+Paul Cruden He was an awesome actor, among awesome actors in probably the perfect movie so I guess he blended in. I agree though. He should've had more credit given for this. In my opinion these are probably the top, maybe, four(?) best actors ever, in one movie, in one scene.

+A Van Also, the best soundtrack.

Harry Wakatipu erm .. that should be present tense he's still alive. He was in Penny dreadful last year playing an Apache wearwolf

and watch out for an evil sooki sayer that has falsey hearts

And that man is old for a very good reason

Amen.

With a little help from his friend. But he had probably killed them all single handed.

@@efcpl not friend, son.

I agree 💯. I have not seen any other movie with a fast pace as well as realistic events played out like this one. Hats off to All who took part in this Flick.

@@richardsalas4122 Totally different type of film, but give “The Razor’s Edge” with Bill Murray a view. By far, the most important film this 64 year old has ever seen. Also a huge fan of “The Last Samurai.”

Don’t get me started l! I’M Irish, but everything that Daniel Day Lewis touches is gold

Yeah i still remember this ending when i saw this as child, and im 30 now. For some reason havent watched this since. Man the charge of the old last mohican as his son died stuck to my mind. Also the girls suicide jump

Was it not? Absurd.

It's great because it's not just action. The chariot scene in Ben Hur can't be beaten for pulse-pounding adrenaline but this has more emotional depth and meaning.

My god

Absolutely

Amen!

Masz rację

I think all of the cast was born this. This is truly a masterpiece. This gets better year after year because "Today" can't mimic this. Daniel Day Lewis? Wes Studi? Russel Means? Madeline Stowe? Johdi May? We Native Americans weep to this. I can only imagine what other feel. To see our country's history living and dying at once is truly powerful. I'm just happy we're all still alive. Including you, friend :)

​@@strangerinthealps5874 I understood that you're a Native American, ois that correct? I like Native American culture, especially people of Midllends, e.g. Navajo, Commanche, etc. As far as I know they were nomadic at some point, my nation (Kazakh) is also nomadic and I notice some close similatiries, and that's very interesting. My nation also was colonized and almost wipped of.

8 January 2023....and counting .....

12. Jan. 2023 from GerMONEY the biggest Shithole today. Have seen this film as child, and think the same. Must see this film "again".

One of the best 7 min in cinema

Soundtrack the first CD I ever owned (yeah, I’m old). Objectively, Heat might be the better Michael Mann film, but this one always holds a special place in my heart.

It's amazing

Fuck this. I watched this movie for the first time now. A whole movie. When it came to this last part, I fucking cried. Fuck this.

Can we talk about the drums at 5:15. Just heartbreaking and poignant to the theme of the movie. So underrated. Sad and symbolic.

@Larry Moran movie link plz🙏

@@DarkImplement we all cried!

Still my man Uncas was the most badass in this whole clip, going head first against raining bullets, taking 4 of them down. RIP in peace Uncas

@@whispersilk Yes, unfazed by the round impacting in stone right by his face. He had a job to do and gave it his all.

It always tears me up watching this. Uncas was so in love with her

@@whispersilk No the dad was the badass!

@@gitaaa7740 Yeah he certainly was, he got his Revenge for his son. And I would too.

You may very well be right about that. It still absolutely blows my mind that this didn’t get a Best Picture nomination. Granted that was a pretty damn strong category that year featuring Unforgiven, A Few Good Men, The Crying Game, and Scent of a Woman.

Definitely should have gotten best picture.

@@Mikezilla115 This blows The Crying Game away.

It's DEFINITELY up there. The music, cinematography, action, everything is perfection. Stunning.

It is definitely in the top 5. Have you seen final duel in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly?

absoluytely, u got totally the matter

Yes, a much more difficult thing to do. Now in north america we have way too much show happening, so destructive

Exactamundo, there's more beauty and meaning in the last 7 minutes of this film than from all the crap that is coming out of Hollywood nowadays.

It has to be! There’s no dialogue which is why it’s my favorite scene ever

It's the ultimate don't fuck with Dad scene ever. Hawkeye, the hero of the story can't even keep up. You don't. Fuck. With Dad.

​@@chrisschonfeldt5789abso-freakin-lutely.

This is what made this film so great. Hawkeye is the main character. But his scene is Chingachgooks. If this was 2024, Magua would get the upper hand in the fight to ensure Hawkeye had to join in to save the day. But not in those days. Its Chingachgook's scene, so HE gets his 30 seconds. Hawkeye actually shows all his strengths protecting him - he rifles 2 men, muskets 2 men, then holds another 4 at riflepoint with an empty rifle.

So brilliant

Had his back to the end❤

That's what drove Magua

@@rossgage9730magia was the bad guy

@@dude2323 that all depends which perspective you have

actually there is something more furious than a father who has lost a child... its a MOTHER who has lost a child... now that is really scarey.

Wrath of Man 2021 must watch!!!

Plenty of special effects but they are all practical. That's what makes it so good.

The great Michael Mann; when he was at his absolute best.

That’s why movies like this never feel dated.

This film, and Braveheart, just epic grand movies. Perfect.

Master & Commander feels like it was made like this. Doesn't have the same emotional depth but it was just quality film-making.

Almost perfect. I still don't understand what superior motivation would have prevented Uncas's father from joining him.

@@robdevaun4168 Fostered son or not he was waiting for his son.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/atxoo7BoyK7WhGw.html

and Russell Means, Eric Schweig and Wes Studi steal it from Daniel Day Lewis It suddenly became a movie where the native actor took over.

@@NormAppleton I like the fact the villain is killed not by the main hero but by the real title character who ends up being the last of the mohicans,and how he knifes that Huron while running through the bush without even stopping is just class,when he’s fighting mogwa is Hawkeye taking out the rest in the background?

Amazing performance

His movements look so natural

The guy you loved to hate.

He got an honorary Oscar in 2019 I think, He's one of the greatest villains I've ever seen.I love the way Magua speaks in the 3rd person when he tells his enemy he's gonna wipe out his seed. Before Magua puts his knife to Gray hair.

He should have received an Oscar!!! He perfectly depicted an intelligent and complicated enemy.

The plot doesn't make much sense in this scene, but emotionally it's super powerful.

Iirc in the books she was 15 and they became close as back then she was a woman in all ways. They made it less a love story between the two due to the age thing.

In the book uncas fell in love with Cora, she was partly Indian. In the book Magua killed Cora and Uncas before he fell down from the rock. Alice was in love with Duncan, they stayed alive and came back to Scotland. And coronel Munro too. So the film has totally different plot, but more tragic for the heroes. By the way, there was a great scene about Uncas and Alice making love in the waterfall. But writers cut it of from the plot, Jodi May was underage, so her mother insisted in it.

Magua didn't kill Cora, he was treating her and one of his men thought it was serious so he killed her

@@scarletjade1041 yep, that's right, thanks. I forgot it.

indeed he was the bravest

And then Hawkeye recognizing it and even though they were rivals, he had the level of respect to put him out of his misery with a well placed shot no doubt to the heart.

duncan is a misunderstoond figure of the movie but in the end he takes all the things that the movied has not showed yet.. clever director.. essential comment of yours..

Piece of cake. I sacrifice myself suntanning at the french Riviera.

Should have stayed in England.

Yes : conan the barbar arnold schwarneger

So true. The art of show and don't tell seems to be a rarity these days.

Lol so right, this scene is a masterpiece, just watched the movie tonight for the first time(can you believe it) I'm still emotional, even the facial expressions of the bad guy, you can see how ripped up and dark his heart is, and he seems to be futally fighting

@ hands down the best climactic good guy vs bad guy movie scene ever filmed in my opinion. No words said, just an ear orgasmic song being played..2 bad ass warriors face to face...5 strikes is all it took to kill magua, exactly how it would go down in real life, not this back and forth for like 5mins that happens in other movies. While I can be sympathetic to maguas pain for what the white man did to his family. It gave me great satisfaction seeing chingachgook take him out, still does everytime I watch it from the first time about 30 years ago as an early teenager till now as a 40+ plus year old man. Top 5 favorite movie of mine...maybe even the favorite.

@@bigmyked8479 wes study slayed that role.

hahaha

Same. I'd avenge my son no matter what.

@@kendrickjames1045 agreed. All bets are off at that point.

I'm not a father but I still felt that. I'm sure there is a TV trope thing about it, you do not fuck with Dad. That moment where he comes around the hill, the look on his face. He didn't care if he lived or died. Do not cross a man with nothing to lose.

ANY GOD FEARING FATHER WILL GLADLY HAVE HIS SON OR DAUGHTERS VENGEANCE.

I knew once the son got done and the father saw it that it was the killers last breath on the spot.

Don't forget about brave heart from Mel Gibson.

If you’re into these type scenes and music and tranquility then this one is a must..I have many and glad this is one of them

But from 4:00 mins and on is it really hits

@@wherleybienaime6256 Honestly Braveheart was a hollywood tale, not even resembling the actual history.

What I find sad is ''knowing'' she would have been rescued with Magua's death.

She's strong.

If she had just waited LOL I guess she thought only one guy had come after her... stupid.

@@madquest8 she loved the brother . So him dying was like the final straw. She came to the west for a better life. But instead lost her father, a friend, and now a lover.

Yes, I agree. But let’s be real, without Wes Studi as the antagonist, this film would not be the same.

You mean the Huron? The Mohicans are the ones doing the killing in the scene

@@BlueDebut He probably meant the first Mohican to die

Good for him, it must be great experience.

@@belattai9435 there were only 2 Mohicans left Uncas and Uncas dad so I think he was either Huron or Mokawk.

@@therealfanboyz9646 my friend was also in the movie as extra actor. He died as a moron err a Huron

The dude was fully prepared to burn to death so the guy he hated could take the girl he loved to safety.

Until the father prays to the great spirit along the horizon

What about when DDL shouts Uncas

Dont forget Uncas's father screamed his name too as his body was sent tumbling over the cliff.

I keep thinking, what if we were in his place, would we have been able to make such a heroic sacrifice?

They portrayed him as a bit of a dick throughout the film. It distracted the viewer from realising he's actually very brave. When he sacrificed himself, that's when we realise how we've been misjudging him. The guy was torn between honour and duty.

@@harrywakatipu2547 he really loved the girl but he got friendzoned, he lost faith in his country and his army, his authority was questioned by the guy who his dream girl loved. I would be kind of a dick too. Really human character.

No doubt best scene to have ever graced the screen. Doesn't matter if you consider the movie as a whole to be one of the best ever (I do), no piece of film can trump these 7 minutes. Magic. Genius. So special. And besides Michael Mann, Randy Edelman and Trevor Jones are exactly equally special, this soundtrack is out of this world, it absolutely baffles me how any human can come up with such insane sound. Thank you all for bringing this into my life

@@mondrasik Literally couldn't have said it better!

just a movie bro

I don't see indifference at all in magua's face. I see stupor in his face at first when Alice approach the cliff and a defiant look: "you are not serious" he's thinking. After he sees the determination in Alice's gaze the expression change, he realize that she would never retrace her steps, but he still make an attempt to call her back. He's incredulous. Alice throws herself. At that point, defeat appears on Magua's face, Alice has beaten him and he can't do anything but accept it. A flash of rage. He mask it. He swallow it. "ok, you made your choice" think selfishly and start to move on and shame kick in, he look down, the idea to be rejected so bad that she preferred to kill herself instead of pass one more minute with him. He swallow it and finally rise his chin and move on. All of these without a word...amazing actor

@@elite_eight4486 I thought he offers his hand in a way out for her, like "ok girl, there is strength in you I can see it, dont throw your life", he kinda respects her right there. When she does throw herself over the cliff he is shocked, he is in an emotiinal turmoil, but still he takes it at his stride "I did not had this in mind but so be it..."

- Magua´s look towards Uncas "What are you waiting for. Fight!" (03:22)

There is also one little thing many people overlook - Hawkeye actually holds the rest of Magua's war party hostage with an EMPTY rifle while Chingachgook axes Magua. Watch it again. Just before they break through the final bushes, Hawkeye has his long rifle in one hand, with a bullet in it (he just shot someone and reloaded), and a musket he picked up from a dead Indian, with a bullet in it, in the other. Chingachgook has his 'axe' in one hand and a musket , with a bullet in it, in the other. They face 4 Indians. Chingachgook muskets one and kills the second with the 'axe', then discards the musket. Hawkeye kills the other 2 using his rifle and musket at the same time, then drops *his* musket (but keeps his long rifle), and then picks up a musket with a bullet in it from a dead Indian. Chingachgook then breaks through the bush, and kills the Indian on the other side with his axe. Another Indian levels a musket at him, but is stopped by Hawkeye who drops him with his newest musket. Hawkeye then discards that musket and levels his rifle at the remaining Indians, who admit defeat and refrain from fighting. There is no way he could have got a bullet in his rifle offscreen as he was holding two weapons. That rifle he held up the Indians at the end was EMPTY.
