@Atrollin2 Although this guy is a racist asshole, your statement is abit unfair. These Zulu warrior had inferior Weaponry, the main part of their Army was equiped with spears and they had to fight good organised british soldiers with rifles. Another interesting part is, that those Zulus were 4000 man why didn't they all rush them? personally I think, that they honor the british as enemy and wanted them to stood a chance ( because the british were outnumbered).They apparently dont fear death :D.
@Torbogrosman1 They killed the wounded and left no survivors in past battles, it wasn't respect for British troops that stopped them from slaughtering every last man. I find it difficult to pity them getting destroyed like this when they would have been laughing was it the other way around.
@mlafrt I used to room with a philosophy student who did a lot of reading about how war used to be waged. Some cultures, like the ancient Greeks, decided conflicts through very organized battles. People still died, and we think "how silly to die that way!", but in many respects she felt it was more civilized. In that kind of warfare, civilians were rarely killed. Now, the POINT of warfare is to kill civilians. I think some from the past might be shocked to learn there AREN'T rules to war
I would imagine that in 1879, no one had ever said the phrase "psychological warfare"--was Freud even practicing yet?--but the Zulus were incredible practitioners of it. Also, they obviously weren't bad at ethnomusicology: These may be white men from another land with another language, but all over the world, a funeral dirge, as they say, goes a lil' somethin' like this...
THAT is true African culture... not the Ghetto culture we have in America and Britain... Gangstaas... they would not have been Zulus... the Zulus would have killed or enslaved them all!!! Discipline, organization and respect... show me one Black kid that has that ,today!!
@GerryRed7 are you black? you are not recognizing our struggle...we don't have that connection because it has been fucked up
it's like they took the chains off and expected everything to be okay...
how bout you look at it in a way in which we kept african culture alive...like pouring liquor in the soil when someone dies...deep african meaning...i see some white people mimick it...but it goes way back...anyway you see the "gangsta thugs" and u assume things...oh wells
No, you only think you do. The soundtrack album was just John Barry's music--not that John Barry won't ALSO get you completely psyched--but none of the Zulu chants, etc are on it. A soundtrack that features actual dialogue, etc. is a relatively new phenom.
@WolfytheWolf5667 Again I wish people would read before they make comments on here. At no time after the disaster at Isandlwana did the British lose more than a handful of men in any of the following battles...Hlobane=there were 100 casualties among the 400 British engaged, Battle of Kambula=British losses amounted to 29, while the Zulus lost approximately 2,000, Gingindlovu,= Their losses were heavy, estimated at 1,200 while the British only suffered two dead and 52 wounded.
@WolfytheWolf5667 The West is dying by it's own hand of wickedness. There are 1 billion Africans, and hundreds of millions of their brethren around the world. When the time is right, things will be set straight again. The spirits of our ancestors are getting stronger as the earth changes polarity. Africans needed to suffer under such brutality so that they may avenge their ancestors with that same brutality, The African had to learn that sort of barbarism from the Europeans; it is unnatural.
@knice1895 You're dreaming. If the White Man fades into extinction then it will be the Chinese and the East Asians in general who inherit the world. And you will look back at the White man with longing as you're new Asiatic masters will have all of his intelligence but none of his mercy.
@captainstern3 Mercy?! The only reason the African wasn't nearly exterminated like the Native American is because the African was needed to amass wealth for the European. If white people had no use for Africans they would have been exterminated like the Aboriginees of Australia, New Zealand, North and South America. Asia and Africa used to be trading partners prior to the New World Order. LMAO at your need to justify your existence by claiming to be lesser of many evils in this world.
@knice1895 I justify my existence as a member of the greatest race of people who ever graced the world with its footsteps. The w.man could be harsh. It was the equivelant of liberals today who insisted on trying to civilize you - clearly a mistake. U should have been left to your primitive existence. We always had it within our means to destroy you utterly-but chose not to. Make no mistake, the E.Asians will not put up with your BS for more than a few decades. They really will exterminate you.
@captainstern3 Lol and within that greatness you've managed to exterminate thousands of species, millions of human beings, ruin the ecosystem, keep the world in a perpetual state of war, poverty and disease and have managed to convince yourselves that you are akin to God. Sorry, #aintdrinkingthekoolaid. BTW, the east Asians know what's up with your people, they've had to deal with you mongrels longer than anyone else. The Chinese know as well, they're investing in Africa as we speak.
@captainstern3 Your culture is parasitic at best, American English is bastardized, your history is a farce, your religion encourages pedophilia, homosexuality and the subjugation of women within it, your materialism is a result of your inorganic inception on this planet. You are destroyers of nature and righteousness and love, and glorify violence, hatred, and "racial" superiority. Self proclaimed kings of the world too stupid to realize that you are not the center of the universe.
@captainstern3 But that's okay, you and others who think like you will die by your own sword like the miscreants you are. The world's does not respect the European, and her children, it fears her ruthlessness in a desperate attempt to keep the lie of her greatness legitimate.
@knice1895 Isee you've bought the myth of the noble savage hook, line and sinker, but that's all you have I guess. Speaking of parasites we've had 1 in our midst for 2k+ years that is the real cause of the crimes we always get the blame for. Your other platitudinous accusations are the opposite of the truth, subjugating women in particular.1 of the reasons you lot have no chance is because your strategy seems to be blame the white man & seeing your own people through rose tinted glasses. G.luck!
@knice1895 I don't regret taking the land of weaker races-that's what a strong, healthy people does. I only regret that some colonists treated natives cruelly, but then it’s easy for me to say that-I didn't have friends & family roasted/skinned alive etc by your degenerate ancestors & the other under-men. The small minority of whites who took part in the slave trade I despise because we’re still living with the consequences i.e. you're still in our countries stinking it up.
@knice1895 Still, I think our current malaise is an anomaly. We'll leave it behind eventually & continue on our path to godhood. Your people are a relic.
The Zulus greatly respected bravery, they too were warriors and understood that facing a foe much larger than you and not giving up takes a lot of courage.
It wasn't about letting them win.. it was still a time of tradition & honour. It was a mark of respect that they had fought so bravely against all the odds.
MY 6TH GRADE CAMP TEACHER TRAVELLED ALL THE WAY TO AFRICA TO BECOME A ZULU. HE SAVED THE ZULU KING BY TAKING A SPEAR IN THE EYE AND A SPEAR IN THE ARM. THIS MAN IS A HERO!!!!!
@jamboliboli You're "not willing to write out all the books you've read", very convenient, you obviously Don't Read. The Zulus were an Empire the size of Europe, thru' Conquest - and were still expanding when the Brits took SA from the Dutch. Their Empire was destroyed by the Brits, who left a nice plaque at Ulundi. Attacking the Brits was very foolish, you can see What Happens when...BTW, Britain was Not Part of the 'scramble for Africa', which came later. They were already there.
@slideharp1 Britain was VERY MUCH part of the scramble, albeit a VERY unwilling one. I just finished reading "The Scramble for Africa: 1876-1912" by Thomas Pakenham. I'd read his book on the Boer War and wanted to look at this one. My head is still spinning. 36 years of history shouldn't be this confusing, but with dozens of European countries with 100s of actors, I felt like I needed a score card to keep the players straight. Especially those like Stanley, who kept changing sides...
@slideharp1 ...What impressed me the most was how when the British government was unwilling to go in officially, British companies would rush in. Many thought the example of the British East India company could be followed in Africa.
I was well aware of Rhodes' charter in southern Africa, but had wondered how the UK ended up with Uganda, Nigeria, etc. Profits were private, risks were public; that is, I pocket any profit, but if things get bad I expect the government to send in troops.
@jamboliboli racist (for lack of a better word). Moreover, I truly see no evidence of jingoism. Like I said, it's a character study. The characters are presented as flawed, scared, as drunkards and malingerers. They may be redeemed by circumstance, but don't forget how the film ends: the Zulu salute them and leave. This isn't conquest, or jingoism, or imperialism. The two sides are presented almost as equally matched; the fact that the main characters are the British doesn't make this jingoism.
@Useless2112 It's funny how often people watch the movie "Zulu" and say it's pro-imperialist. The director, Cy Endfield, was an American blacklisted for his leftist sympathies and unable to make films in the US. The producer, Stanley Baker, was a socialist. There's lots of anti-establishment comments made (usually by Hook), but the film doesn't beat the audience over the head with "IMPERIALISM = EVIIIIIL" The next film, "Zulu Dawn," is a damn sight less subtle.
@jamboliboli I'm finding it hard to believe that you can have watched this film and then claim that it represents a "deepest, darkest Africa, booga booga" view of the proceedings. The Zulu are treated with respect; references are made to their skill in battle, bravery and intelligence. Their culture is represented (albeit briefly) and reference to white fear of the Africa you speak of is openly displayed in the behaviour of Ulla Jacobsson's character. I don't see how this can be considered...
@jamboliboli You can argue that it's about sandbags and red clothes. After all, they're on the screen, aren't they? In the historical time period lots of people were wearing these red clothes and hiding behind sandbags, so just as you can say this film is "about" imperialism, I can say that this film is "about" sandbags and red clothes, can't I?
@jamboliboli Apologies for my late reply, email issues.
Rorke's Drift was not in Zululand. It was a hospital and trading post on the border with Natal. The fact that there was an army in Zululand prior to the events depicted in the film is meaningless. That doesn't mean that's what the film is about. You could just as well argue that this film is "about" red clothes. You could argue that it is "about" sandbags. But the fact of its depiction does not change the meaning of the film itself.
@jamboliboli I will have to wait until I get home (I don't keep such books in my office, sadly). I will chase down David's book this evening. The point I am interested in is VICTORIA'S involvement. I know all about Beach. You will notice that he says nothing about the queen's orders, as there were none.
The queen did not involve herself in making policy for the colonial office, with few exceptions. She had strong opinions on relieving Gordon from Khartoum, for example.
@jamboliboli "Read 100 books on a subject and still know jack about it." I think you are walking proof of what you say.
Saul David's book goes into detail about how Horse Guards' instructed Sir Henry Bartle Frere not to go to war with the Zulu unless absolutely necessary. If Queen Victoria had given orders not to invade, those would have been mentioned in the dispatch. David later goes on about how the news of the outbreak of hostilities and the Battle of Isandlwana were received at the palace.
@ImperialistRunningDo Queen Victoria was shocked at the loss of life, of course, but would have been furious with Chelmsford if he HAD disobeyed a direct order from her. Instead, she was one of Chelmsford's few supporters at that time.
You don't have to list ALL the books you've read on the Zulu War, old chap. 3 would do nicely.
@jamboliboli You say that Queen Victoria herself ordered troops not to go into Zululand. Where did you read this? I've read about a dozen books on the Anglo-Zulu war, and I can't find any that ways the Queen took any interest until the war was already underway.
Art is very important in history @Useless2112...The Beatles, for instance, They revolutionized music and society in the sixties. This is beautiful music, and i think it made understanding the Zulus easier.
@Useless2112, some of the greatest moments in history was about art!! For instance, the Beatles. They revolutionized music. Therefore, i find that comment unaccurate. Art has a lot to do with History. I do see what you mean tho...
KL437 they didnt use the 303 it was invented at that point they used martini henry single shot rifles that were a lot less accurate than the 303 and slower to load and fire.
@jamboliboli If you watch the film, you'll notice that not only is the political situation little more than hinted at, each side involved (the British, the Zulus and the Boers) is treated with a level of respect rarely seen in war films. But if you feel the need for movies to tell you that imperialism is bad then I guess this won't mean very much to you.
@jamboliboli Because the film doesn't treat the subject matter as a political issue. It is a character study and a war movie, that's all. If the film was about British Imperialism don't you think they would have mentioned it at least once? The only time I think Imperialism is ever mentioned even in passing is Adendorff's line about "what you damned English want". To argue that the film is "about" British Imperialism is like arguing that the Great Escape is "about" the bombing of Germany.
There were few times in history where technology was so one sided that a relatively small group could so overwhelmingly inflict casualties on a vastly superior (numerically) opposing force. The .303 was a very deadly weapon in the right hands...
THE MAIN POINT: These Zulus knew they were headed to almost certain death as they ran across the field of fire. But still they ran.
The one person who dislikes this post is a racist follower of Odin. The god responsible for hanging our brothers from Oak trees. Yes, these drunk Aryan brotherhoods worship & honor Thor & Odin who thinks it's a great thing to kill one of their enemies:a black man by hanging him from the Oak tree. It's true ask any KKK memeber. If they don't know this then they don't even know who it is they serve. Moloch is an Owl of the Goddess. So they are worshipping the Goddess. They're calling Her. lol
@Spartiatai300 What I'm going on about is real history. Thor is the son of Odin. Some idiot who's making a mess throughout the world with his bellicose ways. Now a stupid movie is trying to rebirth him. Enjoy sissies cause it won't last long.
@GRACEORT -No, no, no. NO there isn't only one god. Jehovah is only one of many who really is a Volcano god. Yahweh is the name he goes by. It means 'Rushing Calamity". So he destroys. The speaking one in the bible is a murderer. He orders the deaths of men, women and children that hold on to the old religious practices of the Goddess (who was around long before him). God's are created in PAIRS! Allah/Allat, Osiris/Isis. Male & Female. Any god by himself is a destroyer or Homo.
Con't #2 - The god Saturnalia is homosexual whom the Romans worshipped. They were gay. But Saturn isn't gay, She was invaded and taken over by the gay one. Just like our society today is being taken over by this new wave of homosexuality. They want their turn to rule. This earth 3rd dimensional plane is a favorite of off planet Warlords. They're here to claim Earth for themselves. Everyone is fighting one another for it. They have host races here that fight for them. Euros, Jews, Italians.
Con't #3-They are after the Goddess, the Motherland of Africa. They are constantly after Her children. Look at today. Euros, Jews, Rome are contstantly in Africa trying to acquire it. They bomb the people, rape the people. Some of them even are eliminating the people via vaccines & starvation. They work for the Reptillian Laggards on the 4th dimension. They fight for the portals here on earth. South Africa, South America, & now the main largest one in Iraq! The battle is really 4th dimensional.
@filmtress Sorry you are completely WRONG. There is only ONE TRUE GOD, JEHOVAH, also known as YARWEH. You speak of this God in The Bible as being a Murderer. Jehovah is Love. All His purposes are Love. He is real. All other gods are human imagination. History and Archeology have so far unveiled thousands of Prophesies written in The Bible all were written under inspiration by men fron Jehovah(Yarweh).
@GRACEORT - Yahweh aka Jehovah is a MURDERER and never done anything good for anyone. He is NOT a real god. He passed himself off as one. He really lives on the fourth dimension but he can do anything. When we pass through the 4th and 5th your will see He has no more power than you or me. He hates the Goddess and women. He's a lone god who is jealous of Her (there are many) But read: "When God Was a Woman" by Merlin Stone. And "The Great Cosmic Mother" that's if you have the guts.
@filmtress Again, sorry but Jehovah God is none of what you claim. He is real, He is Love and He is YOUR creator, MY creator and the creator of EVERYTHING that exists, on Earth and in the Whole Universe. Study The Bible in line with History and Archeology and you will see i am correct. Your fantasies are just that, Fantasies!!
@GRACEORT - He created NOTHING! Not even himself. As far as the universe is concern He's but a piece of dust not even as high as humans. Go back and read off the bible verses where he speaks. Now imagine Him as a Volcano (mountain), then it makes sense. He does nothing just talks and tell others to kill and murder. One verses says: "Bring them to the foot of thy mountain and I will smite thee". Well if you're a big ole erupting volcano (rushing calamity) then of course he can smite someone.
@filmtress Refer me to Bible Scriptures to back up what you are saying because all you doing so far is telling me your human wisdom which amounts to pretty much zero
@ImperialistRunningDo Lol,not another Satanist!! Yes,all who do not recognise Jehovah as The Only True God+Universal Sovereign are just that,Satanists.Read Psalm 83:18.The Original Hebrew Scripures read " That people may know that you,whose name is Jehovah,You alone are the Most High over all the Earth".If you check your Bible there is a footnote confirming Gods name is Jehovah, if no footnote, a Foreword. If you cant find this, tell me which Bible you have and i will tell you where to find it
@GRACEORT If you want to try prove me wrong using your Bible go ahead, i will prove you wrong from your own Bible. Gods Word speaks the evidence for itself. I will only use The Scriptures. Whats your theory (backed by Scripture) if you dont agree with me?
@GRACEORT Where did you get the idea that I am a satanist? I just thought that the OTHER person was a fruitcake. Do you always call people who agree with you "satanists?" Do you have ANY grounds to be calling me a devil worshiper?
Get a grip. I was backing you up. Sorry. That won't happen again.
@GRACEORT the bible was written by MEN you primitive turd, why do all religious cunts like you always resort to saying "well look here it says so in this book" and you say it in such a way that it sounds like the bottom line and cant be argued against? try and evolve a bit you jesus bumming peice of goat shit
@russgraham Well done Russel Graham,yes,The Bible was written by a number of men over a period of nearly 2000 years yet careful study of The Bible reveals an overall message+theme,collectively the books link up, back up+reveal that it was written by one Author_GOD. At 2 Timothy 3:16 it states that All Scripture is inspired of God. In other words,God used men to pen His thoughts + instructions so that if you study The Bible you can develop a relationship with your Creator.Try it:-)
The Zulu culture was treated with great respect in this film. I always had a softer spot for the Zulus than the Xhosas on the basis of this. Great base section. No top tenors for sure.
The singing never took place ....but they must have been an awe inspiring and truly terrible sight coming at you at full charge. God knows what went through the minds of the lads of B Company. ( Why is it always B Company gets the sticky wicket and 5 platoon in particular ? LOL)
this scene didnt happen in the real battle, there were no chants or men of harlech, sorry for all you people that didnt know because it is good to think that these british v zulu chants actually happened.
This can only be sung by those inocents defending a heritage and culture that is under threat from thieves who will only ever exploit the world and the people upon it for their own gain. I'm Irish. When we begin to defend like warriors can we sing like warriors.
@grobo11 I am an American of the sub-genre known here as "Anglophile", and as such, I zealously try to keep aware of UK culture in every way. That said, this marks my first time ever perceiving the word "numpty" in any way. I cannot wait to use it on someone. (Anything I should know before I do?)
@willtron13 How about singing something that pertains to your culture and not taking from another culture that has no relation to yours. Your own song would mean more.
@redfox996 you are very ignorant. ever heard of gengis khan? he murdered millions of people. he was ASIAN. ever heard of Kim jong Ill? DICTATOR that kills everyone in ASIA. Egyptians? Enslaved everyone they encountered. you see my friend, its not the white people that are bad, its the people who lead them. open your eyes
@UndeadGoober NO they didn't. The Moors invented the gun. They got the gun powder from the chinese. The gun was called the 'firestick'. You need to research more. And don't use Wikistupid. It's dumbing down America.
They talk about all that in the movie... Why they fight straight on and the zulu do attack different sides of the guard at different times testing for weakness... They show at the end, that the zulu had them surrounded the entire time... The zulu let them live...
@kovach101 You may need to read up on your history. Over 400 Zulus killed and as many again injured is not letting them live! Cetshwayo had expressly told the Impis not to attack entrenched British positions but after the victory at Isandlwana the commanders got carried away and believed that they could defeat any British force. As they found out to their cost a British Force well entrenched and well lead was almost unbeatable at this time. For a good history read Mike Snooks books.
tag 1989 - i guess theres a certain amount of holllowood license in the portrayal but i think Zulus relied historically on their sheer weight of numbers as a tatic given its fear factor as well. I think pride as well, to sneak in the back would go against their warriorideals but your right = rather than a full frontal a smaller force from all or multi sides would have negated the fire power totally and it would have been easy pickings, but tht would be a very short film!
when Turkey came in Europe we came in battle alone nobody from Europe didnt help us because they are scared.that we are not fighting with them all of Europe would be under the crest of the Turks are very powerful before the battle with us In this war we just defended our teritory and what you see on BBC and CNN is bullshit isnt true.They hate us because we are big friends whit Russia and because we are Ortodox
brave wariors this black people whit spear on gun man crazy shit we are the same we serbs been 500 hundred years slaves we hate that bitch turkey fuck them...
@borisav88 But looking at your attitude against your historical opressors, and not hjust you, but the entire Serbian people - You got karma'd. Or in simple English; you deserved it
the best part of the movie. One of the most haunting songs I've ever heard. Its beautifully "orchestrated" by the director, showing an amazing sensitivity.
It's funny that the British are intimidated by the song, but the Zulu's are really showing them respect. A similar thing happened when the Zulu's would slit the dead British soldiers' stomachs open to let their spirits out.
This is fucking good music. I'd love to hear modern music inspired by it. I'm thinking something rhythmic, upbeat, and orchestral. The shield banging from the film is a cool beat, too.
Beautiful

Asia and Africa used to be trading partners prior to the New World Order. LMAO at your need to justify your existence by claiming to be lesser of many evils in this world.

I only regret that some colonists treated natives cruelly, but then it’s easy for me to say that-I didn't have friends & family roasted/skinned alive etc by your degenerate ancestors & the other under-men. The small minority of whites who took part in the slave trade I despise because we’re still living with the consequences i.e. you're still in our countries stinking it up.

@jamboliboli You're "not willing to write out all the books you've read", very convenient, you obviously Don't Read. The Zulus were an Empire the size of Europe, thru' Conquest - and were still expanding when the Brits took SA from the Dutch. Their Empire was destroyed by the Brits, who left a nice plaque at Ulundi. Attacking the Brits was very foolish, you can see What Happens when...BTW, Britain was Not Part of the 'scramble for Africa', which came later. They were already there.
slideharp1 11 months ago
@slideharp1 Britain was VERY MUCH part of the scramble, albeit a VERY unwilling one. I just finished reading "The Scramble for Africa: 1876-1912" by Thomas Pakenham. I'd read his book on the Boer War and wanted to look at this one. My head is still spinning. 36 years of history shouldn't be this confusing, but with dozens of European countries with 100s of actors, I felt like I needed a score card to keep the players straight. Especially those like Stanley, who kept changing sides...
ImperialistRunningDo 11 months ago
@slideharp1 ...What impressed me the most was how when the British government was unwilling to go in officially, British companies would rush in. Many thought the example of the British East India company could be followed in Africa.
I was well aware of Rhodes' charter in southern Africa, but had wondered how the UK ended up with Uganda, Nigeria, etc. Profits were private, risks were public; that is, I pocket any profit, but if things get bad I expect the government to send in troops.
ImperialistRunningDo 11 months ago
@jamboliboli racist (for lack of a better word). Moreover, I truly see no evidence of jingoism. Like I said, it's a character study. The characters are presented as flawed, scared, as drunkards and malingerers. They may be redeemed by circumstance, but don't forget how the film ends: the Zulu salute them and leave. This isn't conquest, or jingoism, or imperialism. The two sides are presented almost as equally matched; the fact that the main characters are the British doesn't make this jingoism.
Useless2112 11 months ago
@Useless2112 It's funny how often people watch the movie "Zulu" and say it's pro-imperialist. The director, Cy Endfield, was an American blacklisted for his leftist sympathies and unable to make films in the US. The producer, Stanley Baker, was a socialist. There's lots of anti-establishment comments made (usually by Hook), but the film doesn't beat the audience over the head with "IMPERIALISM = EVIIIIIL" The next film, "Zulu Dawn," is a damn sight less subtle.
ImperialistRunningDo 11 months ago
@jamboliboli I'm finding it hard to believe that you can have watched this film and then claim that it represents a "deepest, darkest Africa, booga booga" view of the proceedings. The Zulu are treated with respect; references are made to their skill in battle, bravery and intelligence. Their culture is represented (albeit briefly) and reference to white fear of the Africa you speak of is openly displayed in the behaviour of Ulla Jacobsson's character. I don't see how this can be considered...
Useless2112 11 months ago
@jamboliboli You can argue that it's about sandbags and red clothes. After all, they're on the screen, aren't they? In the historical time period lots of people were wearing these red clothes and hiding behind sandbags, so just as you can say this film is "about" imperialism, I can say that this film is "about" sandbags and red clothes, can't I?
Useless2112 11 months ago
@jamboliboli I don't see how this film could be taken as jingoistic in the slightest. If you or anyone else takes offence to it then good for you.
Useless2112 11 months ago
@jamboliboli Apologies for my late reply, email issues.
Rorke's Drift was not in Zululand. It was a hospital and trading post on the border with Natal. The fact that there was an army in Zululand prior to the events depicted in the film is meaningless. That doesn't mean that's what the film is about. You could just as well argue that this film is "about" red clothes. You could argue that it is "about" sandbags. But the fact of its depiction does not change the meaning of the film itself.

@jamboliboli I will have to wait until I get home (I don't keep such books in my office, sadly). I will chase down David's book this evening. The point I am interested in is VICTORIA'S involvement. I know all about Beach. You will notice that he says nothing about the queen's orders, as there were none.
The queen did not involve herself in making policy for the colonial office, with few exceptions. She had strong opinions on relieving Gordon from Khartoum, for example.
ImperialistRunningDo 11 months ago
@jamboliboli "Read 100 books on a subject and still know jack about it." I think you are walking proof of what you say.
Saul David's book goes into detail about how Horse Guards' instructed Sir Henry Bartle Frere not to go to war with the Zulu unless absolutely necessary. If Queen Victoria had given orders not to invade, those would have been mentioned in the dispatch. David later goes on about how the news of the outbreak of hostilities and the Battle of Isandlwana were received at the palace.
ImperialistRunningDo 11 months ago
@ImperialistRunningDo Queen Victoria was shocked at the loss of life, of course, but would have been furious with Chelmsford if he HAD disobeyed a direct order from her. Instead, she was one of Chelmsford's few supporters at that time.
You don't have to list ALL the books you've read on the Zulu War, old chap. 3 would do nicely.

@jamboliboli If you watch the film, you'll notice that not only is the political situation little more than hinted at, each side involved (the British, the Zulus and the Boers) is treated with a level of respect rarely seen in war films. But if you feel the need for movies to tell you that imperialism is bad then I guess this won't mean very much to you.
Useless2112 1 year ago
@jamboliboli Because the film doesn't treat the subject matter as a political issue. It is a character study and a war movie, that's all. If the film was about British Imperialism don't you think they would have mentioned it at least once? The only time I think Imperialism is ever mentioned even in passing is Adendorff's line about "what you damned English want". To argue that the film is "about" British Imperialism is like arguing that the Great Escape is "about" the bombing of Germany.

There were few times in history where technology was so one sided that a relatively small group could so overwhelmingly inflict casualties on a vastly superior (numerically) opposing force. The .303 was a very deadly weapon in the right hands...

@kovach101 You may need to read up on your history. Over 400 Zulus killed and as many again injured is not letting them live! Cetshwayo had expressly told the Impis not to attack entrenched British positions but after the victory at Isandlwana the commanders got carried away and believed that they could defeat any British force. As they found out to their cost a British Force well entrenched and well lead was almost unbeatable at this time. For a good history read Mike Snooks books.
