This is a great film about the American Experience. It's a movie about generations, the gaps they must overcome, and the taks of leaving the shadows of famous (or notorious) parentage. All the characters, from Otis and his son and grandson, to Sheriff Dodds and his father, Sheriff Dodds, all of the main characters need come to importnat relalizations about their common past of the frontier of America.
There are no easy answers. But for this group of Texans, the first step to the future is the last line in the film: Forget the Alamo.
A classic, snubbed on all counts by the MPAA.
