Quoting: shewolf, Post #19 I haven't seen that movie. I guess it was a movie, but it was also a historical event.
Yes, it was an historical fact as much as a later movie; a bloody battle that the USA lost to Mexico. Yes, some of the southern states of the USA were part of Mexico, and then, sold in a legal, political manoeuvre from the then-Empreor of Mexico, Ignacio Lopez de Santa-Anna. When a mexican says that those territory belongs to us, generally they say that as a joke, but there are some radicals who really see that as a robbing. Most mexicans are in peace with the facts.
