"If there’s one thing or two that I know about cinema, it’s the fact that the scene with David playing the fiddle is one of the most moving scenes I’ve ever seen in my life.

You may have heard of Davy Crockett, but what about David Crockett? The man who fought at the Alamo alongside men who fought for Texan independence. In the many variations of Crockett I’ve seen, Thornton’s is most definitely one of my favorites.

Seguin, despite being a side character, [Molla] puts his whole self in his performance. I will emphasis on the subtle sigh he carried out at the end of the movie. It signifies his serenity and gladness that, yes, the fight is over. Texas is on its step to independence.
The lighting is gorgeous, may I add. The scenery, and the set. Such an enclosed space looks so wide on camera, it’s interesting. As an avid historical-movie watcher, I approve on how it looks as a whole. No harsh camera filters, no dramatic lighting, it is how it is.
I enjoyed this movie, it seems that the 2.9 average is something that needs to be fixed…"
