This is one of my favorite battle scenes from one of my favorite movies of all time. Presented here for your entertainment in full remastered 4k HD. If you are a based enjoyer of a bayonet with some guts behind it, please like and subscribe.
it's a pity the film was kind to both sides. Neither side comes out as the bad guys, just real men doing what they had to do to stay alive. There was no judgement of either side......and that is history. That is not to say that there are some real depictions of truly horrid human behavior in the annals of human endeavors, this is not one of them.
Nothing more stirring in cinema than the Redcoats singing "men of Harlech, on to glory - this shall ever be your story." (One of those scenes in movies that you wish had happened in real life.) I remember the first time I saw Zulu and was so blown away when the scene of the Zulu dead and wounded turned into a slow pan all the way to the soldiers' toes. "On to glory" indeed!
I was a little boy when I saw this with my dad too, it's actually one of the few fond memories I have of spending time with the man. Absolutely fantastic movie.
YouToo Scoot and thanks as always for posting my friend. I cannot monetize my channel because of these War movies, but to me it's worth it to have them in 4k format. I do it as a service to all my subscribers 👍
They actually used Cetshwayos grandson, who was now the zulu chief or something to play cetshwayo. It was filmed at his own Royal kraal with a real wedding ceremony. He wanted reassurances the zulu were going to be portrayed as equals, and not as "indians from a cowboy film". This quote was made because the zulus used had never seen films and didn't understand acting so were shown westerns. That's why many of the zulu deaths are a bit over dramatic.
Never occurred to you that the Zulu wiped out those who were there before them. Still, I'm sure your college lecturer will give you an A for that anyway.
@@Valoriusthis is what made the Redcoats so effective… iron discipline. It was said that a company could maintain a sustained rate of fire that would be the equivalent of an MG today… Of course… that’s 150 men, firing by ranks…
Those spears looked awfully straight for a society that had no iron tools, no lathe, and no forge. And are those iron heads on the spears? Was there a Dick's nearby?
🌱 Being as the Europeans were in Africa them-days.. makes plenty of good sense for the Africans to return the favor and be in Europe now-days. (A.k.a. immigration)🍃
I would assume you have forgotten all about the Moorish and Turkish invasions of Europe all across the frontier, and the occupation of parts of Europe by Africans and Asians up to and including today.

This wasn't the Zulus' land; it was across the border. The attack was not sanctioned by the Zulu king, he only wanted to fight in his country. This would force the British to be the invaders.
