      If it was remade today there would be at least some time dedicated to the Zulu point of view I suspect. Which could be really fucking good if done right but I suspect it would get overtaken by woke. 10 years ago would have been perfect.

    It was quite a battle for the defenders at Rourkes Drift. January 22,23,1879. Roughly 150 Soldiers against an army
    Of 3,000 Zulu. Those martini Henry rifles fired all night. Barrels were so hot, soldiers wrapped a piece of cloth around it on the rifle barrel. This was at a time Under Queen Victoria..

      In the 19th century, such importance was not yet attached to disguise. The range of an aimed shot of an infantry weapon was relatively short. Instead, the commander needed to have a good view of his soldiers during the battle, and to identify them. In addition, the British in the colonial wars did not face an opponent equal in firepower. From this point of view, a bright form in the jungle or desert was more of an advantage than a disadvantage.

      @@Debbiebabe69 The bayonet was designed for fighting against armies similarly equipped so the British weren’t trained against Zulu spears that doubled as swords. Similarly, the Zulus weren’t trained to fight against a bayonet. A rifle butt can be used quite effectively as a club because it’s heavy (assuming the barrel isn’t too hot to hold) but Zulu spears are light, fast, and as lethal as a sword in close quarters. Plus, the Zulus had shields to parry a bayonet thrust. My guess is that Zulus did not want to engage a bayonet at the maximum range of a bayonet thrust and British soldiers didn’t want a Zulu inside that range, opening themselves up to be run through with a sword. The British soldier may be able to charge a Zulu with a bayonet and have an advantage of a longer weapon but if the Zulu maneuvers inside the bayonet strike range, then I think the advantage shifts to the Zulu. The problem is going to be that the British are standing together for a united bayonet barrier and a swam of Zulus might actually be in each others way when trying to maneuver.

    War has a way of creating new technology and tactics. For example, the American Civil War was using the tactics taught at west point, REVOLUTIONARY WAR tactics where smooth bore muskets we limited in range. But the advent of rifled barrels and very large caliber rounds literally slaughtered the soldiers standing in ranks. The Zulu were like the sea smashing up against the cliffs of dover. The disciplined English soldiers, with volley fire sent a solid wall of lead into the ranks of Zulu. Training and discipline won the day.

      Not rebar, More likely it was a building technique similar to, if not actually Wattle and Daub. Basically, it is long thin sticks or branches woven or stacked between the load-bearing pillars or beams that make up the wall, then coated in either clay, plaster, or other materials that can be applied wet but can be smoothed flat and when it dried out it formed a decent weatherproofer for its time.

The battle of Isandlwana happened because the British army crossed into Zululand so Cetshwayo had a justifiable course to attack at Isandlwana & defend his kingdom. However his half brother Dabulamanzi kaMpande who was in charge of the Zulu reserves at Isandlwana saw the success & decided to defy Cetshwayo's orders to gain glory for himself & his troops. So Dabulamanzi kaMpande crossed the border into British occupied territory and launched an attack at Rorke's Drift. The attack on Rorke's Drift was the excuse the members of the government, both the colonial South African & British, needed to officially declare war & march into Zululand which led to them crushing defeat of the Zulu kingdom

    The English lost that war because of the gun flinching

    Great action movie, lots of heroism, but too bad the British won. They were the real fuckers.

    The battle scenes "acting" is so cringyworthy. You have to have rose-tinted pro-Empire glasses on to find this film great

      This film was made in the 60s, of course the acting is nothing compared to today’s.
      But I think the acting was pretty decent for its time and it honestly had me cheering for both sides. I don’t see how you think it’s biased, It did a good job at showing the bravery on both sides . But after all the British did win the battle so it makes sense why it could be inclined more towards the British.

    Love the 'noble savage' meme. Reality is, the Zulus, despite superior numbers, ran away when British reinforcements were spotted on their way. Don't watch movies. Read books.

      Books can easily be filled with bias and falsities as anything else.
