: : Hey all!!
: : I happened to come across the website a couple of weeks ago and I must say that I'm very impressed!! Well done to the web authors!!
: : I haven't had a chance to read all the comments but I do have a question one of you all-knowing mohican land people might be able to answer. It's actually such a minor little detail but I'm curious about the braid in Alice's hair after the waterfall scene. It wasn't there before her interlude with Uncas and though that whole section was cut out of the movie I still wonder about its significance. Maybe it signified their relationship? I'm just wondering what your take is on it. Hopefully, the DVD version will clarify. I'm having a great time exploring this site and I LOVE the music musings!!

: Hi Tammy --
: Welcome to the site! Glad you could join us. I too noticed the braid, but only recently. I'm one of the one's who is a bigger fan of the Uncas-Alice relationship than the Cora-Hawkeye relationship, so I find that hair style fascinating (have you seen the way Uncas holds Alice's arm and watches her as they approach the Fort in the dark? I love that little touch!). Anyway, essentially, the hairdo came along when he braided his the same way, so there is something in the timing of it. MY theory is that we won't see it in the DVD because I can't image a scene of him braiding her hair or her braiding her hair to match his, but that it was some behind-the-scenes thing, sort of like reading between the lines of a good book. BUT, maybe I'll be proved wrong in a few days time and we WILL get to see what happened, but I just don't expect it.

: Also, thanks very much for the comment on the Musical Musings. I hope it helps your Viewing Pleasure! :>)

: Cheers,

Sarah,
I too am a huge fan of the Uncas/Alice relationship. Eric and Jodhi did a wonderful job conveying their feelings without words. I can't wait to see the director's cut of the movie. Before I even knew that parts had been cut out, I always felt like something was missing especially in the portrayal of their relationship.

Your time and effort put in to the musical musings shows greatly!! Thank you!! I'm soundtrack queen for movies. I have tons of cd's and half of them are soundtracks. Your in depth look at the music gives that much more meaning to the movie and the music!!!
