This research paper: A 6 page research paper/essay that focuses on two superlative film adaptations of James Fenimore Cooper's classic novel of early America The Last of the Mohicans the silent 1920 film directed by Maurice Tourneur and the 1992 version directed by Michael Mann. In each film, as in the Cooper novel, collision between cultures is a thematic focus. This occurs on several levels, as there is the clash between European settlers and Native Americans, but there is also a cultural disconnect between English soldiers--sent to North America to fight the French and Indian War--and the colonials, who have, in many cases, been here for generations. The take that each director gives to these cultural clashes largely reflects the historical perception and political awareness of their particular era, with the 1992 version offering a more nuanced portrayal of the social factors involved. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
