The Alamo (John Wayne's Version)
This is the other version of "The Alamo" and I think this version is better than the first one ^_^. I like it!
This Alamo movie gave me more information about the main actors. Because on the first version I didn't really know much who were really the main actors, what i knew was only they were going to fight with the Santa Anna to the purpose of getting Texas.
I knew more about Mr.Davy Crockett, the one who is on the picture above, he seem to be the main actor in this version and he was the famous one, they put some story about him with one young lady. Some ramance and entertain were in the movie when Davy Crokett were around.
This guy is Jim Bowie, I know more about him from this old version movie that he was quite a good friend with Davy Crockett. Because from the new version I have seen the part that Davy brought the weapon into Jim Bowie's room when he was sick on the bed so when the enimies came Jim would be able to protect himself. And he was a nice guy in this version, they also talk about his wife a little bit.
William Barret Travis in the old version he was not impress me that much. It seem like he liked to command people to do things, that annoyed Jim Bowie as in the both version they fight at the beginning. With William's braveness he made people believe in him and they got loads encouragement. But still he was the young and good looking guy for the both version ^__^
General Sam Houston was also the main charactor that i could see in the old version as in the new version but he didn't have much role in the movie he was at the beginning and the end of the movie.
Anyway the over all about this old version it was quite fun more than the new version. Although the quality of the old version was not really look like the reality like the new one but the director had done a great job for telling and connecting the story at that moment. We don't have to guess like the recently movie.

A+, Ms. Tori!!!!!
I thought you would enjoy the John Wayne movie more. I just got it and immediately watched it. You contrasted and compared as good as Davy Crockett himself would have.
Mighty fine job!
Ms Tori,
It's great that you have had two movies to compare the difference between them. I've already "ordered," Mr. C. to get the two versions of Sounder and let you see the 2nd one first and then watch the masterpiece. The most important part of both movies, I think, is the music. On the older one, you will get to hear one of greatest Blues players ever. His name is Lightenin' Hopkins. I wish I had a "real" bona fide name like that, but, alas, my guitar skills don't deserve such.
