  • Wes as Magua made Last of the Mohicans unforgettable. He didn't play a monster, but a man broken and twisted by suffering into a demon of pure hate and vengeance. He put such subtlety into his performance, and that's what made him truly terrifying. For example, the way he delivers his final words to Greyhair before ripping his heart out sounds like a rehearsed and practiced speech, like a man who *knew* what he would say at that precise moment. He didn't grandly enunciate the words in a Shakespearean manner, but stated them with clarity and simplicity, making sure his enemy understood. It's the little things that make a performance great.

I felt so tense in that movie and believe me, all the way through. One scene I particular like was when the English soldiers were let go by the French after they gave up the fort and went thru a large forest path way clearing and then were attacked by Magua. That scene was felt so real, that I felt been there fighting the indians. I believe that The last of the Mohicans was one of many great movies I watched in my entire life. I was so much intense watching the movie, that even at the end I felt sad that it ended. I wanted for day's after I watched it, to have lived that life, eventhough it must of been a rough life.

Magua was terrifying but also his terrible losses had made his actions understandable. Magua was tragic because he had lost the last shred of humanity. One of the greatest movie villains of all time. (Actually Magua was worse in the book as it was Cora not Alice who died and that is because Cora defied Magua and he cold bloodedly stabbed her to death after killing Uncas.
