<<<100% correct....Lt. Col. Munro.....see the '92 film if you haven't already it inspired me to check out Cooper's novel and initiated an interest in the remaining "leatherstocking tales.">>>

To me this is a direct commentary on the state of our education system. Academics goes unpracticed until there is a Hollywood moive that encourages interest. Few know how many died on the Titanic, where Omaha Beach is, what the Holocaust was about or what happened at Fort Henry until a blockbuster film is released.

<<<Why can't the film industry do this more often?--teach & inspire
with their movies.>>

Simple. Art -vs- money.

<<<It has all the boring contemporary ingredients....who'll play the Pres. & Monica?:o>>>

This is easy. The President will be played by Bill Clinton and Monica will be played by the first available porn star.
