Though the book, "Last of the Mohicans",ta k e s place in New York state, it was filmed right here in NC, at the Biltmore Estate. Beautiful. Man,I love this place.
The soundtrack, like the movie, is beautiful. Jones and Edelman outdid themselves. May they always. |

Why do you even need the rest of the soundtrack when you have a main theme like this? Seriously. One of the top five film songs of all time.

The score to this music is so amazing, it exhibits the right amount of passion and adventure that you know right away it's a love story with an amazing adventure attached. I love this music!!!!!! it's my favorite soundtrack!! ! ! !

(Haha that was 500 up exactly, right on my word "abrupt"! Excuse me for chortlin', but the clock reads 1:46 --you guess morn o' af'noon-- and now: cont.) "abrupt creative shift, but proves greater than the sum of {His Intoxicating l y divided halves} thanks to a series of impressively epic orchestral themes." Art as the Lie that tells the Truth. And so God proposes, Man disposes. Yeah, the proverb's supposed to be the other way, but maybe it got mixed up in the translation from the Hebrew or Greek

(cont.) how empires rise and fall, schizophreni c a l l y shifting our fortunes along with them. But perhaps this was --is-- how the World have to work to restore balance to the Life Cycle. And all we could ultimately do is proclaim "I Will Find You" to one another, and forget that this "feel goodery" is indeed in real life "a little much to swal low."
Because this is why we have movies, and music; this is why God invented Art --if there is a God-- who also went Schizo with His "abrupt |

So ridiculously romantic its epic themes, and yet so finally clear its heroic vision. If you listen to the score independentl y of the film, "the abrupt creative shift" per AMG, actually helps in a surprising way --primal meets gloss.
And those deeply immersive pools of cataclysms and opportunitie s ! As quickly as one myth dies, another stirs up --with electric synthesizers ! - - to swiftly take its place. You think, "Injuns" & blind colonials! Or now, "bancos" and foreclosures : this is ho |

Capture the spirit of fighting a brave cause and to go against all odds-Brings back my time in Iraq 2005 when things were bad and many young men strapped on a weapon and rode into the night to battle terrorist.

In my top ten of favorite movies, very powerful songs that I enjoy listening too.
|
||
I haven't seen the movie, but I love the music. It is so pretty.
|
||
This is my all time favorite movie! I used to watch it all the time, I was a tad too young then 7 or 8, so when I listen to the music I feel this homely feeling. Music is beautiful!
|

Well I know what the critic talks about; and agree to an extent but the main theme is a soaring theme flying into epic histoy, too good to ignore. One of my all time favorites. Esp the end of like Promentory where it shines brightly and sends out electric spine shivers.

........this score combined with the beauty of smoky mountain cinematograp h y . . . . A N D DDLewis's acting...... a triumph.
