The Last of the Mohicans is set in 1757, during the French and Indian War (the Seven Years' War), when France and Great Britain battled for control of North America. During this war, both the French and the British used Native American allies, but the French were particularly dependent, as they were outnumbered in the Northeast frontier areas by the more numerous British colonists. The novel is primarily set in the upper New York wilderness, detailing the transport of the two daughters of Colonel Munro, Alice and Cora, to a safe destination at Fort William Henry. Among the caravan guarding the women are the frontiersman Natty Bumppo, the Major Duncan Heyward, and the Indians Chingachgook and Uncas, the former of whom is the novel's title character. These characters are sometimes seen as a microcosm of the budding American society, particularly with regards to their racial composition.

I was conflicted for a long time. "Should I watch it? Or not?" I am just soooo happy that eventually I did watched this movie. It reminded me the French cinema from past decades. It was funny, smart, emotional and it had its own way to make you consider some things. I tend to categorise it with movies such as "Les vacances de monsieur Hilot", "Le diner de cons" and "The corsican file" although these are three totally different movies, but equally strong. This is the true story about an x-convicted guy gets hired by a very rich crippled guy as his personal assistand-nurse, and very soon a strong bond grows between the two men

There are only a few movies in this world with so many layers that manage to deploy all those layers. In this movie we are dealing with a redneck homophobic that learns hehas AIDS. The movie highlights the problematique American health system, the problematique American justice and the atrocity of pharmaceutical companies, in paraller with the brute social racism at the '80s. In addition, some very good acts causes the movie to "lift off". The evolution of the two main characters through the story is given so consummate that the point of view boosts up vertically. Both Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto have given their very best of themselves, and the two Oscars for both 1st and 2nd men's role don't leave any gap for doubt.
