The Zulu were fine with it. Anyone else’s objections can go straight into the round file.

“Zulu”, which I believe is based on actual events, is a great movie.
I am sick and tired of Leftist bullshit!!

Good on Michael Caine for speaking up & calling it what it is. Are we going to revisit every moment of the past how many hundreds of years looking for bigotry or trouble? How many riots happened after Zulu was released? How many black people were killed as a result? None & none. Such nonsense!

I just remember the relentless onslaught of the very tall Zulus against the British…..I was very young when I saw it.

The criticism is, of course, dumber than a bag of hammers: both the Zulu warriors and British soldiers were fighting for empires who put both sides into conflict with one another. The movie is largely a testimony to the skill and bravery of both sides.

It’s been years since I watched Zulu; now I’m curious enough to watch it again from a mature/current perspective.

It was about the Battle of Rorke’s Drift, which followed immediately after the massacre of the British force at Isandlwana. It follows the facts pretty well. Another movie that deals with this campaign is “Zulu Dawn,” which focuses on the Battle of Isandlwana. Borth films are pretty accurate as to the engagements themselves. I recommend both films.

If you haven’t got a copy of your own, get one now. I don’t trust streaming services to not remove them from availability or severely modify them from originals.

They acted in the film. In Zulu dawn there’s a scene where the Zulu are charging over the hill towards the camera. They literally set up a beer concession truck behind the camera and then the director told them first come first served!

I'm going with Sir Michael on this one: superb, reasonably authentic movie with enormous respect for both sides of the fight. The Zulus were presented as brave, capably-led, disciplined warriors with blood-chilling war chants - and portrayed using real Zulus.
Britain has allowed too many woke folks with chips on their shoulders to get into power.
