Excellent Movie and Soundtrack
So, I have close to 9,000 mp3s after I burned the several hundred CDs that I owed plus miscellaneous mp3s that just appeared on my hard drive by themselves, I swear.
Lots of time when I listen to music on my computer, I load all the mp3s and hit the "Shuffle" button on WinAmp just to see what I get. If I don't feel like listening, to the next song we go.
Tonight, while spinning the music roulette wheel, I got a track from The Last of the Mohicans soundtrack. Not only is that an incredible soundtrack, the move rocks. Every time I see it on, I am forced to watch it, even though I own the DVD and can, theoretically, watch it any time I want to.
I've read some of James Fenimore Cooper (though not this book) and I found him impossible to get through, but this movie is just perfection to me. Michael Mann's direction is wonderful, the cinematography is gorgeous, and it's an incredible love story, both the one between Hawkeye and Cora and the subtle one between Alice and Uncas. At the end of the movie where Magua is gesturing to Alice to come with him and instead she makes the choice she does (don't want to spoil it for anyone that hasn't seen it), just grips my heart every time.
So, no real point to this post, just felt like waxing rhapsodic about one of my favorite movies.

It's one of my favorites, too. And the soundtrack is unbelievable. Sigh. Wax away! ;)
