The opening scenes of the Alamo make the Mexican army look so fucking badass.
I almost have to feel bad for them when they get overran later on in the film, with their pants down figuratively. I’m an American and I’m glad we won the Texan revolution and the Mexican American war but it’s also fun to play devils advocate and wonder how things would have gone differently had we lost. Seems like Santa Ana would have been solidified as the dictator.
Also impressive how Mexico managed to get such an impressive army after only 15 years of independence from Spain. #video #movies
