@Baraban would you prefer if the good, the bad and the ugly were more historically accurate?
No
why?
It's not an historical movie
Not really
Spaghett!
Somebody toucha mah Spaghett Western!
Plus what I complained about wasn't really historical accuracy, but the Zulu having a really stupid and non sensical strategy in the movie
Yeah
I assumed as much
to a certain extent that was kinda true though.
They were limited
Not dumb tho
you can't really do their main and only tactic when you've got a bunch of chaps with guns defending an encampment.
They fucked up the brits in the beginning, retards dont do that
keep in mind that the pincer was really their only tactic, and the entire reason behind shaka's rise to power amongst the zulu
Yeah, but when you hide in small ravines, that shit is scary, which they did a couple times
SNEAK ATTACK MADA FAKAH
How did the Brits won the fight in reality anyway? I mean it was still 100 against a few thousands, and they had no artillery
Leadership
The best tacticians always win with crazy odds
Its been forever since i read about them tho, so i dont know any definite details
pretty much i think. I'm no historian so don't take my word for it, but i believe british order and command saved the day for the most part.
None if them broke rank or fleed
Plus after the first Horn attack, the leader got away, so they were ready at the next encampment
And i think a nearby passing Company of soldiers were close enough for aid
point being, it was a fucking rough situation. The british fought hard, the zulu fought hard. the zulu fighting hard and respecting the british ferocity it what makes the film what it is.
Plus its war movie, 2 people fighting over territory, thats just human history
Nuttin racist bout it
Meanwhile us Americans and our smallpox blankets
So sorry Native Americans, shoulda got vaccinated
That was what we call an unfair fight,
I can respect the zulu determination and honour, even if they were a tribal and tactically inept.
Oh yeh, those dudes ran as fast as horses carrying spears for hours, thats what we call peak physical condition
Shit, the fact they managed to band together under leadership is impressive as is.
Thats how they fucked up other tribes in the area, thru tribal bonds
Numbers like that are hard to pull together when no one can write, and strength is the only way to get everyone on the same page.
They did have language tho
And forms of writing, just not as “complicated” as brits
