TOM's Film Club: The Last of the Mohicans (1992) Film / Cinema

Daniel Day-Lewis plays frontiersman Hawkeye, a white orphaned settler adopted by the last member of a native tribe, who falls in love with a

Torn between two cultures, Hawkeye refuses to give up the causes of the Mohicans who raised him, while also fighting to save Cora, who is the set piece in a revenge plot aimed at bringing down her father for his past actions in battle.

Daniel Day-Lewis is renowned for his in-depth preparations before signing on to any film. For several months before production began, Day-Lewis lived off the land in the Alabama wilderness, built several canoes, learnt to track and skin wild animals, cut firewood with a tomahawk and perfected the use of a 12-pound flintlock gun, which he took everywhere he went, even to a Christmas dinner. To be fair, it’s hard to imagine the film without Day-Lewis running through the forest with his raven mane blowing in the wind as accompanied by a soaring orchestral rendition of Dougie MacLean’s The Gael, all while carrying that gun of course.

“Daniel would carry his gun around all the time. When he went to lunch he’d have that gun with him, when he went to the bathroom he’d have that gun with him. He’s sort of not of this world, Daniel.” Madeleine Stowe, Cora Munro in The Last of the Mohicans
