Very dramatic pic! All the pics are great! I especially like the one with the lone cannon facing the Mexican camp...

What would your opinion be? Do think that this will be the final big screen version of the Alamo? I wish that they had done a little more about the fight sor Bejar Nov, Dec 1835.
Do you think a big screen version of Goliad will ever be done?
I know I'm not Mexican decent, but I really wanted to play a part as a pioneer-sapper in this past movie.

Do you think a big screen version of Goliad will ever be done? I know I'm not Mexican decent, but I really wanted to play a part as a pioneer-sapper in this past movie. I don't think a new big-screen version of the Alamo will come to pass in my lifetime, but then again, you just never know. I've been in three Alamo-related movies where I thought at the time that it was probably going to be the last one. I guess it all depends on the approach. A new movie with the Alamo set as a backdrop is probably more easy to believe, however. In today's world, a film centering on the plight of the common Mexican soldier, or even Travis' slave Joe might fly better than a rehashing of the Alamo tale, no matter how good the rehashing. Goliad is taboo. You're not going to get a film studio to touch a tale like that, with the ever growing Mexican population in the American Southwest. I'm surprized---but gratified--- that the Sam Elliott film GONE TO TEXAS (aka HOUSTON: The Legend Of Texas) showed the massacre of the Texian prisoners, including the murder of the wounded at La Bahia.) But that was then, this is now. Today, 20 years later, it ain't happening, amigo. As someone recently mentioned over on thealamofilm site, we're all bickering about what we liked and didn't like about the Alamo (2004) film when the real miracle of it all is that it even got to the motion picture screen in the first place. |

I also study the Amer-Mex War and that subject has hardly ever been touched. It's most likely never going to see the light of day either.

Dramatic view of the assault on the north wall. Are those dead/wpunded soldado's CGI? |

I don´t think they used CGI but I could be wrong...

 They had a lot of life-like dummies for scenes where people would not have to lie around on the cold--- or hot---ground. At $2,500 apiece, someone quipped how the dummies were even more valuable than living Alamo extras.  |

Even though I thought it could have been better (don't we all), I give it a five. The story never ceases to touch me deep down.

 Is it just me, or does the Waynamo compound appear a good deal larger than the Dripping Springs set? |
