The media is run by rich elitists who are afraid of a cultural revolution, what u expect Watts

2018-06-27 23:40:48 UTC  

Watson, i do say the game is AFOOT

2018-06-27 23:40:59 UTC  

So run in, and stab everyone. Stop retreating when all they have is muskets

2018-06-27 23:41:19 UTC  

basically, yeah

2018-06-27 23:41:27 UTC  

Which is what they did in real life

2018-06-27 23:41:32 UTC  

But i never saw the movie

2018-06-27 23:41:40 UTC  

So idk wtf they did there

2018-06-27 23:42:01 UTC  

But nobody cares about it being historically accurate

2018-06-27 23:42:02 UTC  

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

2018-06-27 23:42:42 UTC  

if you take a purely tactical approach to it, of course you're not going to think well of the zulu

2018-06-27 23:42:45 UTC  

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

2018-06-27 23:43:12 UTC  

Shoulda got Michael Bay in there

2018-06-27 23:43:27 UTC  

Run up, stab brits, run away with explosions in background

2018-06-27 23:43:46 UTC  

Well they are in good shape, I'll give them that

2018-06-27 23:44:04 UTC  

I want their bodies

2018-06-27 23:44:06 UTC  

Would you prefer it if they were black ninjas? doing some judo shit?

2018-06-27 23:44:13 UTC  

Actually

2018-06-27 23:44:14 UTC  

Though they didn't even seem to have an advantage up close one on one

2018-06-27 23:44:17 UTC  

Thats not a bad idea

2018-06-27 23:44:31 UTC  

I want zulu ninjas

2018-06-27 23:44:39 UTC  

That’d be most deadly warriors by far

2018-06-27 23:45:00 UTC  

From an action fan, it would be fun to watch. certainly wouldn't have the same gravitas it carries though.

2018-06-27 23:45:20 UTC  

How old is it?

2018-06-27 23:45:27 UTC  

50, 60 odd.

2018-06-27 23:45:33 UTC  

Damn

2018-06-27 23:45:42 UTC  

TWOTs

2018-06-27 23:45:42 UTC  

googled it, 1964

2018-06-27 23:46:03 UTC  

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..

2018-06-27 23:46:11 UTC  

I feel like different time, had different sentiments towards the zulus

2018-06-27 23:46:30 UTC  

I fucking loved the zulus, but mainly cuz they were badass and smart af for what they had

2018-06-27 23:46:31 UTC  

They still seem like a bunch of barbarians to me

2018-06-27 23:46:50 UTC  

historical films have their time and place.

2018-06-27 23:46:56 UTC  

Yup

2018-06-27 23:46:56 UTC  

no rei is best day

2018-06-27 23:47:00 UTC  

But yeah maybe the real ones were a lot smarter too

2018-06-27 23:47:16 UTC  

More info over time = more unlikely to be accurate as time progresses

2018-06-27 23:47:19 UTC  

'They still seem like a bunch of barbarians to me' they were.
