My boy and I were watching The Last of the Mohicans on Thursday night. Do you think he liked the hero, Hawkeye? Oh no, he liked Magua, the renegade Huron. In my opinion, Magua is one of the most EVIL fictional characters ever. His speech about putting the gray hair's, Col. Munroe, children under the knife so the gray hair's seed will be wiped off the face of the earth is one of the most wicked things you'll ever hear. Wes Studi brings such a cold blooded reading of that speech. It gives me chills, but as you can see, John seemed to enjoy it in the clip below.
Really, the movie is not a substitute for the book, but it was a great film. Maybe, I'll stop reading from the writings of Abraham Lincoln. He doesn't seem to respond to the writings of our 16th president. Perhaps, I should switch to some sort of poetry or that book of daily life lessons written by the Rev Joseph "Run" Simmons. Remember, reading is fundamental.
