The Last of the Mohicans (1992)
Action/Drama/Epic Rated 15 Spoiler Free Does an epic have to be filmed in multiple locations or is it just the run length of the movie? Or is it a combination of both? I’ll tell you what an epic is, it’s whatever I decide it is (on Bedsit Cinema). The 90’s was an underrated decade for epics, there are some astounding, dramatic, romantic, shocking and utterly rewatchable films made over those ten years. Legends of the Fall, The Thin Red Line, Rob Roy, Braveheart, Dances with Wolves and of course, Saving Private Ryan would be amongst my favourites. The Last of the Mohicans I had mixed memories of, having enjoyed it, then found it a bit annoying. The Last of the Mohicans is stacked with stock characters: mainly posh English officer types of varying cowardness, in-juns and damsels in distress. Jared Harris is in it playing one of the wimpy English. I bloody love Jared Harris. There’s loads of other great thesps, thesping it up, but I really can’t be arsed to name them all. Director Michae
