Scene Stealer | “The Last of the Mohicans” I Will Find You
Every film buff has a special group of select movies that help pave the way to complete obsession. For me one of those films was Michael Mann’s 1992 epic, The Last of the Mohicans. Based on James Fenimore Cooper’s novel and inspired by George Seitz 1936 film, Mann creates a historical saga charged with emotion and feeling. At the center of this vast story of the French and Indian War, is the blossoming love affair between Hawkeye (Daniel Day-Lewis) and Cora Munro (Madeleine Stowe). They are two vastly different souls searching for a place in a world that is as Cora puts it “… on fire”. The two share many memorable scenes together, but the most memorable is the, often quoted, Waterfall Scene.
After a very large and bloody battle Hawkeye and Cora (along with Chingachgook, Heyward, Alice, and Uncas), are able to find shelter in a cave located behind a waterfall. As they realize they have been tracked and will be taken hostage, Hawkeye makes a daring choice to leave the woman he loves. Check out the scene below.

[...] Robert De Niro in Heat, or the equally romantic parting of Daniel Day-Lewis and Madeleine Stow in The Last of the Mochicans. Scenes like those make you wonder if Mann starts his writing process with an idea for a sequence [...]
Where was the waterfall/cave scene filmed at?
Michael Mann states on the commentary for the newly released blu ray of The Last of the Mohicans, that it is actually a sound stage. Using an existing location would have made the dialogue impossible to hear.
