A film worthy of an Oscar

Rating: Null/10 (31 July 2011)

When I first saw this on DVD, I thought instantly this would get an Oscar nomination, at least. The music is powerful enough to make you cry. This, I believe was Carter Burwell at his best. There are some scenes that made me cry like a baby. Especially before the battle, where the defenders are writing letters to their loved ones. Plus, the end part where it's just Crockett, and five others including Bowie (who was sick, dying in bead). The acting is great, especially Thorton's. Why critics hate this film is beyond me. With a powerful soundtrack, you can see the scenes from the movie in your head as it's playing. This, in my opinion, is the best film about The Alamo ever and there will be no more made because of how accurate this one is!
