It really depends on which Europeans you are talking about, some were persecuted protestants who fled the Catholics. Some were poor migrants who wanted to create a new life for themselves in a new world. Others were just prospectors.
@@ah1rooivalk just like Europeans say to the illegal immigrants. It doesn't really feel to good to be in there shoes huh when your told to go back to your country
When I was a kid, this was my least favorite scene from the movie, because I thought all the talking was boring. Now that I'm older, this is one of my favorite moments from the whole film. Archer might not have liked to admit it at the time, but deep down inside the Colonel was right, and he knew.
I can watch this film over and over, but could do without the action scenes. It's the converstations, the drama, the music, the scenery, that make this film so good.
I remember my brother telling me he foreshadowed his death in this scene. As soon as the General started talking about the red earth. The last thing Archer did right before he died was pick up the red earth. He had that strange smile on his face saying that the General was in fact right
@@truthseeker3536 his accent is south african, which makes sense he spent most his life in SA leaving his home at a young age when the white farmers started getting killed
I believe the inclusion of those animals was in fact intentional on the director's part. Pure-blooded rhodies are VERY expensive "trophy" dogs for many well financed pet owners, and in conjunction with his massive estate, armed body guards, and personal vineyard, it goes to show just how much money the man has made off of the death and suffering he visits upon his own countrymen. The pure bloodline of the dogs might also be a metaphor as well.
@@LordSeethe "own countrymen" is doing a lot of work here. He operates in west africa in places like Sierra Leone and Liberia. He isn't putting down rebels in South Africa because they don't exist (especially in late 90s early 00s) he probably doesn't consider the people he's murdered "his countrymen" or worthy of empathy.
I like the scene where the Rhodesian Ridgeback dog is walking near Arnold Vosloo. Ex Rhodesians to this day still own Rhodesian Ridgebacks. In this scene the dog implies a connection of this people to Rhodesia.
It's based on Executive Outcomes, though a biased take on the company. In the movie, the Colonel from the movie was an ex-SADF 32 Battalion man. Then 32 Battalion disbanded, he took those that were unemployed and started his company, trading military services for concessions. It's just like how things were with the company Executive Outcomes - After the end of Apartheid many units of the SADF disbanded, many professional fighting men were left without a job, so the mining company hired them to be advisors and soldiers for their military branch.
This scene saddens me greatly as several of the men I served with in the Rhodesian army have had their blood seep into the African soil. It chokes me up quite a bit.
@Jeff VR in blood diamond you will see Danny running soil through his Fingers. Africa gets into one's skin and when you consider whites have been bleeding in Africa since the 1600s there is a lot of pain leaving that continent. And the bush is always there.
Sir I am so sorry for farm murders. The way these animals kill is viscous. I am afraid your own government wants you dead. Just because the color of your skin... Come to America White man we need more of us here...god bless you Sir...
@@erasedfromgenepool.4845 the farm killings in SA are totally barbaric and regrettable but history would suggest people of colour have suffered a lot more at the hands of White people anywhere on earth. In the colonisation of Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas. It would be mature and honest to acknowledge history accurately I think. To call other people animals based on the farm killings without acknowledging the evils of Apartheid seems also myopic. Apartheid policies to fuel fighting in black community resulted in the accumulation of unregistered firearms now awash in SA. Apartheid practices are far worse than current killings and that's not to condone but just to state the facts
@@tarirai you simply have no idea what you are talking about. We did not stuff people into huts and set them on fire like Mugabes men did. We did not cut off a womans lips and make her husband eat them. We fought to prevent that.

Good god that dialogue is dark, when you really apply this to the history of the continent you can’t help but agree. It’s seems that continent just can’t catch a break.
When I first saw this scene I thought it was pathetic. Now I live in Africa. And there is some truth to it. Whoever touches the typically African red earth can never let it go for good. A piece of my heart will always be on this continent.
11 years ago I have watched this movie in Hindi dubbing. After listening this so powerful dailogue I came to know how much powerful Africa is ! The most powerful dailogue spoken in the most soft tone!
I remember my brother telling me he foreshadowed his death from this scene. When the general talked about the red earth. Ironically, the last thing he did right before he died was pick up red earth and take one last look at it. He had a strange smile on his face that said ‘yes, I never did leave Africa’.
I was lucky enough to have lived and worked in South East Africa for four years and just returned. I completely understand what he is saying about the motherland.
It`s not a threat. He´s talking about Africa. Once Africa has you, it never let`s you go. Especially the white men. Once you`re a son of Africa you`ll never leave Africa. It`s like TIA, this is Africa. Africa always wins. It´s always at war and you cannot civilise Africa. Africa existed long before anyone, long before the first white men came and it will be there when we`re all gone. Trust me, I`m a son of Africa.
Africa, or I should be more specific, South Africa. It is like this: when you new arrived in this land, you won't like it, even hate it! But when you stay here long enough. You will bond to it and you will never get rid of it from your blood. I agree that after you been to South Africa or Africa and you go to EU, America or Asia. You will find it a bit strange. I think maybe its because we are a little bit "too wild'" : )
