There were a few things that rang true to me throughout the movie. The mention that the tribes eventually played off each other and the warring Europeans was reinforced very well throughout the movie. Magua's evil cunning was evidenced in all it's brutal glory(?) as he literally hacked and slashed through anyone that opposed him, paying no mind to who he betrays in the process. The French-British and British-American hostilities also seemed very accurate to me.

Finally, as Mallory said above, the European imperialism struck me as unfortunately accurate as well. As the intro text explained, it was a battle for control of the nation. -Cash Nelson | There were a few things that rang true to me throughout the movie.

Although it was a bit more brutal than the one Susanna Johnson described, I could imagine they could possibly do something along those lines. --[[User:Shauser|Shauser]] 20:36, 10 September 2008 (MDT) | ||
