Review of Zulu (1964) by Rj M — 28 Nov 2008
The Braveheart of its day, this movie tells the true story of 100 British soldiers attempting to defend their post from 4000 attacking Zulu warriors. The battle scenes are immense, and shows the Zulus to be far more formidable opponents for reasons other than their overwhelming numbers.
The British soldiers not only remained committed to their duty, but are determined to also carry on as gentleman. It's a war of will as much as it is one of weapons. The British use several impressive tactics to keep the Zulus at bay, no matter how many attacks they launch.
The visuals are nothing short of amazing, especially considering that they really use thousands of Zulu warriors in the battle scenes. Real people, not cgi. The 1964 action classic is also the film debut of screen legend Michael Caine.
