They themselves are of the same stock of people as the Cameron's but fate has in the long run dealt them a kinder hand...<br /><br />Therefore my interpretation of Cora saying about it being more stirring to her blood is that Fenimore Cooper was trying to allude to the historical treatment of the Munro family - part Covenantor, part Highlander. Therefore the life she is experiencing in the America's is the same as she felt her forbears did and she feels akin to these people.<br /><br />The problem is that the Randolph Scott and Mann films get too tied up with the 'bad old British exploiting the Colonial underdog' idea and don't see the bigger picture that the Munro family have themselves been the underdog who rose to greater things...ASThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08923772743505118132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-75580810737495650702012-09-06T21:07:06.737-05:002012-09-06T21:07:06.737-05:00Their love scene is just beyond compare.

Hawkeye's way more modern in his thinking than any of the Western men fighting him.<br /><br />EPIC Day Lewis... I like the sound of that, and boy is he hunky! That love scene of them by the barn, woo weeee... [fan self]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
