Damnit. Of course it’s mohicans.
Do we get a shot of Jodhi May?
I await Navaronegun to bad-mouth my movie
One of the great Michael Mann movies. DDL got so into this role it is legendary (he lived in the woods for months before filming, walked around in loincloths, carried his musket EVERYWHERE even when they weren’t filming).
Just one of the great scenes of all time
I also don’t know why Discourse is not resizing my frames. They’re all cut-off to the right. Click on them for the full image.

The music in this movie is amazing (which unfortunately has been adopted by Qanon), and so is the cinemaphotography. It’s downright Kubrickian at times.
No trash talk; fantastic period piece, adaptation, acting and direction/cinematography. Woefully underrated.
New frames in a few hours or so.
Imagur, baby. The app is bad news for showing off frames. Me hates it.

No trash talk here either, I love that movie. A good chunk of it was filmed near where I went to high school in North Carolina. The fort scenes especially were erected near Lake James and were cool to go see while they were being built and filming. A lot of the extras for the movie were also from around North Carolina.
This poor website from yesteryear seems to have some good pics of the production:

Nice choice, Mr. Horde.
Also, I cannot believe Kwai hadn’t been done and even more, that I didn’t get that immiediately. It was my grandfathers favorite movie, I probably watched it with him a half dozen times, at least. Also a nice pick, Mr. Gun. I mean, it’s no BB4L, but it’ll do on a Friday afternoon, ya know?
Thanks for linking these, Matt. Pretty fascinating to see IRL pics of it now.

Let Discourse handle it instead. Put the pics local to you, then upload them with the built in button in the editor. It will auto-scale down the pic for the forum, but also allow click through for the full resolution too.

Ugh, what? How have they adopted the Last of the Mohicans music? It’s bad enough that they’d appropriate the Republican party, but do they have to take Trevor Jones’ sublime soundtrack as well?

It was apparently used in a Q documentary. If you check the song out on YouTube, the comment sections are overrun with Qanon whack jobs talking about taking down “the cabal”.
So essentially your factoid is merely Internet conspiracy theory. Ah, delicious irony…
This Twenty knows the real deal.

The man in the foreground looks like (a shorter version of) de Gaulle.
The Day of the Jackal has already been done though, and l have a feeling this is actually a recent movie. Or maybe a Costa-Gavras?
Grudge Match then?
Also, l can’t believe Kwai hadn’t been done before either. l mean, it is the epitome of the grandpa movie (along with The Dirty Dozen and the Guns of Navarone, all great movies).
IncorRazzieNominee!
I did Dozen in like the last year or so.

lt was a bad joke: “The Real Deal” is the nick name of Evander Holyfield, a (fantastic) boxer who appears in that “movie” (haven’t watched it - l thought it would somehow be so bad l could end up liking both Raging Bull and Rocky less as a result).
Oh, and l actually want more grandpa movies; l generally don’t know all the recent stuff. l arrived too late for Kwai though.
l have to go to Rhodes, where part of The Guns of Navarone was shot, probably next month. l am wondering which scenes were shot there, and if l could try to figure out where exactly.
Now, regarding our new movie, l have a “paranoid thriller” feeling about it.

Seeing a younger Pesci(?) here made me think that, but I don’t remember this scene at all. Also, wtf QT3. Nobody has done JFK either?
I hardly remember any scenes, but I figured there’s probably a short flashback to his time in Cuba in there somewhere.
Imagine Alex Jones performing the above dialogue.
Before Social Media, You Tube, Bloggers, Alex Jones, Vulture, Vice, Loose Change and The Soundtrack of Last of the Mohicans being used for the “QAnon theme” there was the grandaddy conspiracy theory of them all, midwifed by Jim Garrison and then expanded upon by crazy Oliver Stone into a turgid 3 hour+ thingee.
'Tis long.
