		John Wayne released The Alamo on the eve of the 1960 presidential election.
		Though the movie clearly intends a celebration of patriotism and the heroism of ordinary men, Wayne's film was influenced by the cultural assumptions of the sixties.
		The movie exhibits a severe distrust of the common man it means to commemorate.

		His appearance at the wasted Alamo, dead, covered with slain Mexican soldiers, then roughly dragged out of his room to be displayed to a gloating Santa Anna, is deeply moving and allows the viewer the unique privilege of imagining the horrible carnage that occurred in this desperate battle.
		Alamo Village is effectively used for the Alamo and San Antonio scenes.
		Drawing upon the informed commentary of a number of Alamo scholars, professors and historians, one is treated to a feast of details and insight into the battle, including some understanding of the key players.

		The men of the Alamo insist on staying, and there is conflict over who will be their commander, but Bowie, who is dying from tuberculosis or pneumonia, yields to Travis.
		The Alamo has fewer than 200 defenders, Santa Ana has about fifteen times that many soldiers - so many that he divided his army with two day's march between the halves, so there would be time for the waterholes to refill and the grass to grow for the soldiers and horses in the latter half.
		In this movie, unlike some others, we have a ragged band of frontiersmen, all of them increasingly sure of impending death and decreasingly sure that their defense of this small landmark will serve any purpose.

	Ron Howard forgets about "The Alamo" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		"Alamo" was at one time aiming for as early as a September start, though script delays and actor availability are understood to have played some role in the date change.
		As far as I'm concened, the Duke's "Alamo" (1960), with warts and all, is the last "Alamo" movie that needs to have been made.
		The historical revisionists have been wanting to get their hands on the Alamo story for a long time, and show that Bowie and Co. were only fighting for the right to keep slave ownership alive, since Santa Ana, in his loving kindness and mercy, made slave ownership illegal in Mexico.

	The Alamo - Thirteen Days To Glory : Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		There is something to be said for telling the story of the Alamo in a mini-series format because it was not really a battle, but rather a siege.
		I have done extensive research on this event and this movie does not overly embellish the facts that were gleaned from several recorded "eye witness" accounts.
		Travis´ death (as usual in movies) is also incorrectly portrayed; I don´t think he wore a uniform either (the Laurence Harvey portrayal of Travis in the 1960 version is probably more accurate here).

		"The Alamo" is the tale of a handful of men who stood up for their passion and ideals against an overwhelming force.
		In the spring of 1836, in the face of insurmountable odds, fewer than 200 ordinary men who believed in the future of Texas held the fort for 13 days against thousands of Mexican soldiers led by dictator General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna (Emilo Echevarria), ruler of Mexico.

	Pee-Wee's Big Adventure review (1985) Peewee Herman - Qwipster's Movie Reviews
		Desperate for anything that will help, he even tries a medium, a disreputable one who tells him his bike is at the Alamo, in the basement.
		Not one to wait, Pee-wee immediately hits the road and hitchhikes his way across the country, meeting many strange people, and risking life and limb in the hopes of being reunited with his one true love.
		With lots of energy, Burton's knack for artistic sights, and Elfman's novel score, this is a movie unlike any other before or since.

	Las Vegas Mercury: Film: Remember what?
		Or pander to our trigger-happy rulers' dangerously simplistic cowboy notions of their manifest destiny, cementing the evangelical fervor with which they set about imposing their corrupt version of "freedom" on the world's nations at gunpoint.
		Yet John Lee Hancock's The Alamo is a well-crafted but egregiously one-sided war picture.
		But the cultural context of a work of art has everything to do with it--especially a motion picture as loaded with portentous resonance as this one.
