The Alamo
The Alamo is the name of a small village which was set up to be a crossroad of the battle. At the Alamo place I think it was the United Maxican State group. First I would like to tell you that related to the text book I have read on the page 119 it was about "Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848)" in the book they said there were the United State of American and the United Mexican State. So that makes me understand more about the situation in the movie that why people in the Alamo speak Spanish. Anyway there were 2 sides, Mexican and Spanish side. People who live in the Alamo they were the folk. What I think about the movie is Alamo was the way that people who wanted to go to Texas they would pass the Alamo first. So that's why some group of Soldiers stopped by the Alamo first as they knew that the Spanish army were arriving.
This movie a whole movie it was about the war. People wanted to be independent and they wanted to reach to Texas as they wish to get the new life there. But it wasn't easy since the Spanish army came to the Alamo. The soldiers tried hard to encourage folks to fight and stood up for themselves.
As I saw in the movie the black people were still slave and they didn't want to be slave. But anyway finally folks in the Alamo collaborated to the soldier( I think it was the US. soldier). The battle between Mexican and Spanish were cruel. Unfortunately the Alamo was destroyed because they didn't have enough people as they ask for help to the Government but they were too late.
After the Alamo the Spanish army move forward and finally they met the other US. army that were coming to help the Alamo. And finally the Spanish army lost and Anna Santa, the head of Spanish army, had to sign the agreement about Texas to exchange with his life.
I'm sorry about this terrible summary but I don't really watch this type of movie because for me it's depressing I don't like to watch people kill and fight to each other. But in the movie has made me learn something about what they said "Victory or Death" if it's not wrong they were telling that people at that time they could do everything for the country.
And this is my impression about how United State at the moment could be this large. ^_^
David Crockett:
I think he is an Artist. In the movie he played Violin beating the Spanish band. Even at the beginning of the movie he was introduced to the crowd at the theatre that Mr. Crockett was the inspiration of the show.
And he was the one who were alive at the Alamo.
William Barret Travis:
I think he was a good guy. He loved his country and he was not selfish thinking only about his family but the others. He knew what he was doing and he didn't afraid to die for the victory.
Although in the movie it seem to be that he was a bad guy left his family to the battle but he did the best for his job.He even encouraged people to fight for their own victory.
He is my impression *_^
Santa Anna:
This guy was the biggest head of the Spanish army. He was totaly bad and selfish guy I ever seen in the movie. He had all the power on Spanish side.

Ms. Tori! I have to say that this was good and it is all yours. No cut and paste. You did what you were supposed to do.
I will wait to comment until you see the other Alamo movie I gave you. It is the original and was made a couple of decades before the one you have already watched.
Figure out who Davy Crockett is and why in the modern Alamo, he says "If I was just David from Tennessee and not Davy Crockett, I would sneak over the walls and run away. Because I am Davy Crockett, I must stay and die here."
Who was Davy Crockett?
David Crockett is kin to my oldest brother's wife. Her maiden name, name before she was married, is Crockett.
I didn't see this movie at a theatre. We bought the DVD. The Movie is too long for me to sit through in a theatre.
I think that this is a good rework of the older movie. Alamo is a Fort. A Fort is a place where the soldiers would live and not have to be worried about bad people, who they were fighting, slipping up on them. The soldiers also made it safe for the people who lived in the area.
Where is the Alamo located? What is a "Tourist Attraction?" Is the Alamo one?
They had guards who watched, at duty, and the guards took turns. Yep, we lost that battle, but losing a battle is different from losing the war.
Now there are many who maintain that we have now lost the war? This is a HUGE political issue in the United States, right now. In fact, I am watching CNN, and they spend lots of time talking about immigration, ... even right now. Do you know what our government is doing about the many Mexicans who are coming to live in the US?
It is called "Illegal Immigration." Let your teacher talk about the politics around immigration of Mexicans without proper documentation. What is your country's policy toward immigration?
