Great Historical Film

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 2018)

I watched this movie to gain a better understanding of the Alamo. This was one of the best films to ever capture what it was like even with the limitations of the budget. The filmmaker is telling the story of the Alamo. What it was like to be at siege inside the fort. What it was like to endure constant attacks from the French and Mexican armies. Then to show that the war wasn't lost when the Alamo was. Pretty much everything gave it away that the movie was recently produced. It wasn't grainy at all and had great sound. The acting was really well done; just as the special effects were. Of course there's really know what to know exactly what happen because the winners always write history. However there's small things that may not seem to real. For example how Crockett stopped the Alamo from being fired upon one night because he played his violin in harmony with the French. This movie's time period is pretty far from the historical films I've watched so I can't make any connections. I enjoyed how accurate this was to the actual battle. I loved how it showed and explained that Huston took out Anna's army in 18 min. There wasn't anything i didn't like; you can't dislike something for being accurate. Overall this was an amazing movie with great actors and an awesome director. I found it interesting how they managed to capture it and have it be a good representation of the battle. I would like to see more movies with the same actors and director.
