The media is run by rich elitists who are afraid of a cultural revolution, what u expect Watts
Watson, i do say the game is AFOOT
So run in, and stab everyone. Stop retreating when all they have is muskets
basically, yeah
Which is what they did in real life
But i never saw the movie
So idk wtf they did there
But nobody cares about it being historically accurate
The zulu in the film at least, were painfully tribal. it was a primitive culture compared with the british empire. The reason why I would say that they portrayed in a positive light is that they played into characteristics we think highly of. Selflessness, putting your life at risk for your comrades. an ability to empathise and appreciate the strength and valor of your enemy.
Just look at battelfield 5
if you take a purely tactical approach to it, of course you're not going to think well of the zulu
In the movie they keep running in, getting close (while suffering countless causulties), stab a bunch of Brits, retreat, than repeat.
Thats just poor directing
Shoulda got Michael Bay in there
Run up, stab brits, run away with explosions in background
I want their bodies
Would you prefer it if they were black ninjas? doing some judo shit?
Actually
Though they didn't even seem to have an advantage up close one on one
I want zulu ninjas
That’d be most deadly warriors by far
From an action fan, it would be fun to watch. certainly wouldn't have the same gravitas it carries though.
How old is it?
50, 60 odd.
Damn
TWOTs
googled it, 1964
Well, I'd like to have them depicted as close to reality as possible. Though I'd probably still wont have much respect for them
54 years old..
I feel like different time, had different sentiments towards the zulus
I fucking loved the zulus, but mainly cuz they were badass and smart af for what they had
They still seem like a bunch of barbarians to me
historical films have their time and place.
Yup
no rei is best day
But yeah maybe the real ones were a lot smarter too
More info over time = more unlikely to be accurate as time progresses
'They still seem like a bunch of barbarians to me' they were.
