Absurdly, the rescued Emily West is also there, helping the widow Wykoff  care for Deaf Smith, who — again, absurdly — is on his deathbed from tuberculosis. That means the problems were as much narrative as they were factual. I write fiction and teach college writing and literature. But I certainly agree that had this been on any other channel, it would have been a lot more enjoyable. Native American warriors gallop and whoop; Mexican soldiers and generals enjoy cockfights, executions and all things vile." He did resume his role as President, but the Mexican Congress stripped him of much of his authority until a European invasion gave Santa Anna the excuse to seize much of his power back, after which he ruled off and on as a dictator and today is so reviled in Mexico that one dare not even speak his name in public. In real Mexico, the real Santa Anna returned a disgrace. Conversely, I find myself praising the writers for being willing to show Houston in all his disgusting bodily failures — his drunkenness and whoring and wounded leg — and his willingness to leave Texas to its own devices now that he’s won the war. He considered the other series superior to Texas Rising criticising this series for "atrocious dialogue, poor characterization and mechanical acting" by comparison. The Texians transport Santa Anna to the United States, apparently planning to hand him over at the Texas border with the United States. "[18] The Post noted that "History" channel did offer other perspectives "including those of Mexicans, Native Americans and slaves" on the website created for the show but "some of these views didn't seem to make it into Texas Rising. Follow our service in order to keep abreast of the situation updates. It only took a few minutes of watching the first episode to realize that the show would not be a valid source for history buffs. The Times held that the writing reduced Houston to a character which "has no magnetism" and made Santa Anna into "something of a repellent caricature". Some of the work one would find is haphazard and needs some further fact-checking, but much of the work is the kind of fascinating personal perspectives and locally specific details one would never find in a larger, more general text. Interesting critique. Too many films and novels have not let truth get in the way of a good story. . I was getting rather bored with it myself. Outnumbered, General Sam Houston's Texas Republic Army and Steve Austin's Ranging Company are all that stand between Santa Anna's tyranny and independence. Lowry did hold that the concept of trying to fill in the gap for audiences of what happened after the Alamo was a good one, but that the series was unable to do so effectively. I enjoyed Texas Rising. Texas Rising is een behoorlijk groots opgezet epos geworden. The Times also praised the music video done for the series by Kris Kristofferson, (who appears as Andrew Jackson in the series), doing a cover of Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down. Wel oude berichten uit 2015 over Texas Rising 2 of een sequel. So that “heroic sacrifice in capturing the tyrant Santa Anna and liberating Texas” is, at best, folk legend — and in this case a legend in service of advertising the hotel.

I’m as big a fan of fictionalized history as the next fellow — I write historical fiction — so I agree in general with a lot of what you write. They will have to fight back against the onslaught of White expansionism. Tensions rise as Comanche and Karankawa fight to keep their lands. My pain repels it.”, Pauline lowers her rifle and considers him a moment, then says simply, “Pretty words.”. [19], The New York Daily News held that the show rekindled the excitement of the "Hatfields and McCoys", once you can identify all the players in the drama. I get that the series might have wanted to show the cooperation between some of the Comanche and Santa Anna’s troops during the revolution, but 1) they’ve had plenty of opportunities to show that actual cooperation in the previous four episodes, and 2) this never happened. Seems Jesse has a burr in his saddle. Almost two centuries later and we’re still afraid to face the truth, really? Current season, ratings and renewal chances. Greif, Joffé working on Texas Rising sequel. Reply . However I find some of the criticisms both here and on the IMDB regarding historical accuracy and PC comments regarding the show’s depictions of race way over the top and verging on the ridiculous.

But as the newspaper man says in Liberty Valence, when the truth becomes legend, print the legend. Texas Rising is a 2015 History 10-hour television miniseries based on the Texas Revolution against Mexico and how the Texas Rangers were created. Not a Texas “indentured servant” — a flat-out slave. Wanneer je deze, als ook andere ingevoegde media op de site wilt zien, dan moet je hier even toestemming voor geven. and accuses the Cajun Ranger of being a horse thief. Houston keeps his promise to Santa Anna, who is being held prisoner at a plantation, to meet President Jackson to discuss a peace treaty at the, Best Sound Editing - Long Form Sound Effects and Foley in Television, Outstanding Sound Mixing For A Limited Series Or A Movie - "Night 4", Outstanding Sound Editing For A Limited Series, Movie Or A Special - "Night 4", Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music, Best Male Actor in a TV movie/miniseries -, Best Original Score for a Television Series, This page was last edited on 26 October 2020, at 16:50. But I don’t want to end there. If the phone had been invented in 1836, he’d be phoning it in. [16], In a review Variety columnist Brian Lowry held that the show was "wonderfully cast and otherwise completely wooden". If it had been simply a fictional story, with other names and events, I don’t think anyone would have any problem (apart from the pacing, and some of the dialogue, and the racial stereotypes . Met onder zijn hoede Texanen die bereid zijn om voor hun leven te vechten en met de Slag om de Alamo nog vers in het geheugen, neemt generaal Sam Houston de leiding in de strijd tegen een grootmacht. Lowry held that the show "pays more attention to the marketing campaign than the script".

Here, at least, their warrior leader Buffalo Hump is given some vaguely accurate lines, because he’s right, the White people are coming, and it’s going to be horrible. They also complained that the dialogue was "truly awful" with characters speaking "in sound bites rather than convincing conversation". An ugly man. Have you been wondering how the series would finally wrap up that sideshow? I should have used the word “only,” as in, if Texas Rising had presented itself as a Western only, and not also as a version of history, I would have enjoyed it more. All to a by-the-numbers-but-halfway-decent musical score overlaying the action. And, truth be told, Ray Liotta does his most effective bit of acting in this scene.
