The meaning of the last mimzy movie6/19/2023 As for Magua, he is desperate for revenge, and will go to any lengths to kill the “grey-hair”, or General Munroe, and his daughters. He stays because of Cora, even though he knew he would be arrested. Like when Hawk-eye chooses to stay at the fort instead of going with his friends to defend their homes. He always seems to do the just thing even when outside forces make it hard for him. Hawk-eye seems to be caught in his own war, meaning he comes from a French background, has Mohican customs, and is in love with an English girl. “The movie touches quickly on the fine points of British-French-Indian-settler conflicts, so that they can get on to the story we’re really interested in, about the hero who wins the heart of the girl” (Roger Ebert). The war is there, but it is in the background. At first the major conflict seems to be the war itself, but I think it might be Hawk-eye’s and Magua’s lives. That each side had Indian allies, but I think the Indians fought mostly when there was a distinct purpose, not just because they were at war.
