The most heroic, critical and significant battles of our Texas history is of the infamous battle for the Alamo. This essay is to provide a very short comparsion of the old and newly revised version of the Alamo. Is the revised version a myth? Or was it created to be more modern and understandable? The fact is that the Texas solders who defended the Alamo were not properly armed, trained and were greatly outnumbered, but had a heart of bravery the odds were truly against them, but that didn’t keep them from what they believed in which was liberty, justice, freedom and their independence. Bodily they stood awaiting long days and nights in a rather bitter situation behind the walls of the Alamo. The Alamo film is imaginable and unrehearsed. In

, Now let’s look at a few things. The 1915 has more noble historical truth and offers compelling evidence as it betrays the battle the way it originally happened. The mere fact that it’s lengthy, the dialogue is excited proper version. The 2004 version of the Alamo is a contemporary and accurate version of the 21st century. Needless to say, that due the budget restraints, a lot of the movie had to be cropped, so some of the major details and legends were deleted which of course made the movie inaccurate and non-fictional. Although the movie has its down falls, it was still captivating but rather humorous. The lightening and background effects in the 1915 version is much of an alluring dull effect betraying what we can only imagine was fear in the atmosphere before the battle. The recreation of the 2004 version of course is more enhanced with color due to technology, and better film quality that would make it more appealing and effective to the modern way.

The way Santa Anna handled the battle of the Alamo showed us his strengths.

Maybe the outcome would’ve been different if they were able to combine forces with other states, but the fact remains the same that they didn’t have enough defenders to fight this bloody war.Some other critical points that stood out in the 2004 version is enormous amount of drinking and smoking and the use of profanity showing more modern day being used at least 3 or 4 times and Crockett makes a few remarks referring to “redskins” and “injuns”. There was even a racist comment “you’re my property until I
