I watched and liked

Rating: Null/10 (2 May 2004)

I'd like to start by saying this:
The battle that ensued at The Alamo was NOT a part of American History. It was a part of TEXAS history.
During the stand-off Texas declared it's independence from Mexico, thus making it a sovereign nation. It wasn't a part of Mexico, it wasn't a part of America. It was Texas. For those who want to refute this fact and want to continue to claim otherwise, tell me one American history class you've been in that has talked about the Alamo. On the flip-side, every Texas history class I've been in this has been a huge cornerstone of the class.
Which brings me to my next point...
Since most of you north of the Red River have never taken Texas history, your comments sound ridiculous to those well versed on this subject. Much of the movie is historically accurate. I was actually surprised. There were a few glitches...but mainly it got the message across. Well at least to most of us...
Some of you guys posting missed the point entirely. Those too busy commenting on camera angles and lighting...hahaha. Are you guys serious? Were ya'll so engaged in that ya'll missed the content of the movie? The fact that some of you said the men staying at the Alamo was stupid and that this movie is an attempt to make them heroes is appalling. In the middle of the damn movie Sam Houston (played by Quaid) signs Texas' independence. Yeah...these guys were fighting for nothing. It was stupid for them to stay. I've never heard such asinine comments. I can only be happy you idiots are watching movies and reviewing them and not fighting for my or (gasp) your freedom.
It would do many of you some good to open up a book and stop relying on a movie to capture EVERYTHING...from lighting to camera angles to the musical score.
I'm not saying this is the best movie ever made. But it's a damn good TRUE story. And I applaud anyone who tries to tell it.
