Rating: 6/10 (9 October 2018)

I watched this movie for my History Through Film class at school. This movie is about Davy Crockett and his men fighting the Mexican soldiers led by Santa Anna because Texas wanted independence from Mexico. Although they didn't win the battle of the Alamo, it became a symbol of the dedication and strength America had and they eventually won their independence later. There wasn't anything I noticed that made me question the historical accuracy. I think the movie was well-made, it depicted the trials pretty well and had some intense scenes during the battle such as continuous stabbing. However, I half enjoyed this movie. My favorite part was when Davy Crockett was going hard on the violin in "Deguello De Crockett". There were quite a few parts that were pretty boring and it got kind of confusing so I zoned out. The acting was really good though, I feel like the actors really got into their characters and portrayed the emotions really well. I don't know this director or any of the other stuff he's done so I don't think I'll watch anything else from him. I haven't watched any movies related to these events and I've heard of the Alamo before now but I never quite knew what it was.
