Alamo – Der Traum, das Schicksal, die Legende (2004)

Alamo – Der Traum, das Schicksal, die Legende: Directed by John Lee Hancock. With Dennis Quaid, Billy Bob Thornton, Jason Patric, Patrick Wilson. Based on the 1836 standoff between a group of Texan and Tejano men, led by Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie, and Mexican dictator Santa Anna’s forces at the Alamo in San Antonio Texas.

“u0026quot;The Alamou0026quot; is the most accurate depiction of this historical event in years. The Billy Bob Thornton performance is the zenith of the movieu0026#39;s strength. His portrayal of David Crockett is worth the price of admission. It places the previous actors, Fess Parker and John Wayne, in a cartoon like, position in this dramatic role. One must see this film on the big screen to appreciate itu0026#39;s panoramic impact. Much of the action takes place in the Alamo itself, however, there is the extra benefit of the battle that took place at the San Jacinto Battle grounds. I found it a refreshing presentation of this film genre. All of the performances were deeply felt, and Billy Bobu0026#39;s is especially outstanding. Dennis Quaid as Sam Houston also turns in a remarkable performance. This was a long awaited movie, and well worth the wait. Plan on a long film.”
