The 1992 ‘The Last of the Mohicans’ was great. Michael Mann took a stodgy relic of a novel and turned it into a piece of expressionist art.

My one problem with Last of the Mohicans was how not Michael Mann it was. Good movie, good story, well told, but Mann has a certain visual style that I really enjoy, admittedly it’s not possible for him to use that style in any movie that takes place before about 1950 maybe 1940 because it revolves around using hyper modern buildings with a particular look. He still found some amazing vistas, but a Michael Mann movie without those funky buildings just felt like it was missing something.

Tells me all I need to know. That movie was a dreadful bit of post-modern garbage which morphed an American classic into a a shallow propaganda piece.
