Proud of the movie

Rating: 9/10 (30 April 2004)

Although I am a true John Wayne fan and I saw his movie over 22 times on the screen, I did enjoy the Alamo 2004. I am not sure I agree with the capturing of Davey Crockett I did feel the movie captured the spirit of the defenders. I was raised in Oklahoma but I always felt a deep love and respect for the Alamo. The movie was entertaining and made you proud of the people involved. I haven't decided yet whether I liked it as much as the 1960 version but I have now seen it 5 times and like it better each time I see it. One of the scenes I enjoyed the most was the one where Davey Crockett was fiddleing on the wall of the Alamo while the Mexican army played the cutthroat music. The feelings the defenders must have felt while they listened to the Mexican music must have been heart wrenching.
