The lastest movie starring Thorton and Wilson was very well done, I thought. I recall seeing some images of Travis sometime ago and, Wilson seems to really look like him. I agree with a previous post regarding Thorton's "face" as Crockett. I thought his portrayal was fantastic.
Today I had a wonderful opportunity to see, again, the version of the Alamo with Thornton. I believe that this version is the closest to reality that Hollywood will allow. the last scene when Davy warned Santa Anna that he was a "screamer" exemplified, to me,absolute courage while facing death.
