Magnificent Film

Rating: 9/10 (16 November 2008)

I think TidePride said all I could say.
I like the 1960 "The Alamo".
But the 2004 "The Alamo" is ultimately the definitive picture of this event. Simply, a great film.
And I was prejudiced against it when it came out. "Why do you need to make another Alamo film, says I? Wasn't it done good enough before, says I?" What an idiot. After seeing it, how I can be so dumb. Pretty dumb. What a great picture!
If you complain that some faction's part is under-represented in the re-telling of the event, then buck up, spend your dollars, make your own Alamo and tell the tale how you see fit. But, if it ain't your money making the picture, don't tell the spender how to do it.
Step down. Or step up to the plate with your own cash.
Some people think my money is worth their spending it. Now, that's dumb.
Or they're Commies.
