    It's said to be based on true events, and I think so too. But this is how I understand it. If the white people want to colonize deeply, they have to build a railway. Unexpectedly, they invade the lion's territory. In order to protect their kingdom, the lion keeps killing people (not to eat, they can't eat so much) to scare the road builders away early. But the colonists were firm in their will and refused to go, and finally killed the aborigines (lions) through advanced...

    The Nightmare of Night as a Child. Douglas's acting skills are amazing, but now I look at it with a different meaning. I didn't understand what these two railroad tracks and white people and guns meant in Africa at the...

The Ghost and the Darkness quotes

  • [first lines]

    Samuel: [narrating] This is the most famous and true African adventure. Famous because what took place at Tsavo never happened before. Colonel John Patterson was there when it began. A fine Irish gentleman, a brilliant engineer. He was my friend. My name is Samuel. I was there. Remember this: even the most impossible parts of this story really happened.

  • John Beaumont: I've made you with this assignment, don't make me break you.

    John Patterson: You won't have the opportunity. Any other words of encouragement?
