Last of the Mohicans

I've been sitting here listening to the soundtrack from The Last of the Mohicans. The whole world really is on fire.

Such a great soundtrack

Indeed!

Great movie and soundtrack. There’s an elect guitar version if you look up “Last of the Mohicans metal”. Click on the version by Metalhawk.

The long version!

The book and the movie were epic and so is the soundtrack and that cover.
Thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing.

excellent indeed

Thanks for the musical reminder. Absolute chills. Makes a guy ready to put work in.

Agreed. Soundtrack is awesome Movie is great. Book is great.

...time to go further my impending hearing loss in the garage.

Great book, great movie and great sound track. One of my all-time favorite movies.

Reading the book inspired me to read the other four books in James Fenimore Cooper's Leatherstocking series.

love the movie ,never read the book

I enjoyed that, thanks.

Here's a link for anyone interested. https://youtu.be/aVjwBNsiOv0

Yes a trifecta for all the music, movie and book. I listen to that sound track often.

Bryce

One of my favorites too. Also like the soundtracks from "Somewhere in Time" and Once Upon a Time in the West".

Awesome listened to it again this morning 2 metal versions coupla acoustic versions and a symphonic version great stuff loved the movie

Love the bagpipes version of it.

That was incredible. Thanks

I liked the deerslayer more but I think I am the minority on that.

I agree, deerslayer was better.

Are you guys talking about the book Deerslayer, the last book in Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales?

I've never seen the movie.

The book

I've tried to read the book 3 or 4 times and its so dry I just can never get through it. I do love the movie though and the soundtrack, listen to the soundtrack often while I read.

I even have a nice copy of the book with the illustrations by N.C. Wyeth

The syntax of books written 150+ years ago is very different than in modern writing and it can sometimes be hard to follow. Or maybe it's just Cooper's writing style. Mark Twain sure liked to point out what he considered the literary mistakes of Cooper and seemed to enjoy poking fun at him.

I collect books, especially old ones and have become used to the old style of writing so it doesn't bother me. I enjoyed all five novels in the Leatherstocking series despite Mark Twain's criticisms.

I collect old books too, and read many that I enjoyed but that one just makes my head hurt LOL

I am going to have to dig the Leatherstocking Tales back out and give them a reread. Its been 20 years since I last read them.

Maybe Twain was right?

Twain didn't like Jayne Austen either

I did get through the Young Readers Edition of The Last of the Mohicans - does that count?

I can't resist.



(That's "The second to last of the Mohicans" from The Far Side by Gary Larson.)

Absolutely one of my favorite movies ever. Watched it more times than I can count.

That’s great! LOL

I love Gary Larson’s The Far Side. The guy is a comedic genius.

Definitely!

They are difficult to read. Verbose to say the least

There was no tv back then, books were to be read slowly and pondered.
And Mark Twain was just jealous
