Last of the Mohicans

In 1992 Michael Mann brought us The Last of the Mohicans. TLotM features a love story captured inside of a historical drama, a lodramis, one might say. It tells the story of a family of three trappers who find themselves obligated to protect the daughters of a British Colonel after the Hurons betray a truce and the dreaded Magua has his eyes set on killing the Colonel and all of his descendants. Starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Madeleine Stowe, this movie is expertly acted, made $143 million from a $40 million budget, and won the Oscar for Sound. But does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent, discuss the proper doneness of human heart as we try to determine if this is worth staying alive no matter what occurs, or is best left in the past.
