I watched this movie for the first time recently, and it now ranks up there in my top ten. Absolutely amazing.

It gives a fascinating veiw into the world of early-colonial America, an era which is seldom touched on. The cinematogrophy and soundtrack alone make it worth watching, and in the DVD I have there is indeed a version with just the video and music. The acting is all top-class, but the star has to Wes Studi, playing the Huron twisted by his hate for the British. The raw emotion the whole film is what makes it for me though, culminating in a breathtaking climax with the mesmeric music building it up perfectly.

The only thing I find dissapointing is how short and seemingly chopped up it is. I've read this is due to the evil bastards at Fox demanding the Director cut an HOUR from the film. You can kind of tell, and I hope someday the original is released.

So, any other fans here? Are there any other good movies with a similar setting?
