Behind the scenes of the last Morgan warrior movie

The director's creative ambition is quite great, trying to make a war epic film with a sense of the times. However, the description of the protagonist's character is superficial and the narrative of the story is not smooth enough, but the photography and soundtrack are quite imposing. The novel was shot many times in 1920, 1932, 1936, 1985, and the version of 1936 had a great influence on the new edition.

Wonderful tidbits

Jodhi may, who plays Alice, is supervised by her mother on the set and restricts her daughter from shooting sex scenes.

As we all know, Daniel Day Lewis went to extremes to mold his role. Take this movie as an example. Before filming, he hunted and fished in the wilderness where the character might have lived, and lived nearby for several months.

Director michael mann has never read the original novel before and after filming.

Jodhi may said that many of her scenes were cut.

The original name of the hero Hawkeye in the novel is Natty Bumppo, but in order not to make the audience laugh, it is changed to Nathaniel Poe.

The original length of the film was 3 hours, but Fox asked the director to cut it short, which also delayed the release date of the film from the summer of 1992 to September. Michael mann, the director, was very dissatisfied with the two-hour version, thinking that it was hastily completed under the tight time. Later, Fox agreed to re-edit it on DVD 1999. Although this version is only a few minutes long and has not changed much, it is the director's preferred version and the only DVD version released in the United States.

A (movie) fiasco

The shadow of the helicopter can be seen in the scene of the first canoe escaping from the waterfall.

At the beginning of the film, Hawkeye can see the fence in the distant background when hunting.
