The Last Of The Mohicans

This was one of those movies I didn't expect that much when I first saw it so I was very pleasantly surprised.

In essence, The Last of the Mohicans is an epic adventure/romance set against the panorama of a frontier wilderness ravaged by the French and Indian War.

First I saw the movie and got carried away by the beautiful backdrop scenery. Then I found out that the two main historical events depicted the siege and fall of Fort William Henry and the subsequent massacre, actually happened. So I saw the movie again. Then I read the book. Then I read a good book about the French and Indian War.

Brilliant movie, and if you haven't watched it already, I recommend that you do.
