Hollywood revisionist history
25 September 1999
While I found the movie slow and boring, I also had a hard time feeling sympathy for a group of U.S. Army deserters that decided to enter the war against their fellow U.S. soldiers. I also had a hard time swallowing the hypocritical scene of a Mexican general arguing that the captured deserters should be considered as prisoners of war and therefore not be executed. The then Mexican president Santa Anna was not known for how well he treated his own prisoners of war. Example: How many heroes of the Alamo were allowed to live and tell their tale? The saying "Remember the Alamo" was created for a reason.
