      View this film from the perspective of a rotten girl

      I have watched Michael Cain’s movies since I was a kid. After all, he has made a lot of Hollywood commercial films. Pirated discs are often sold in China. I have been watching these commercial films for more than ten years, so I accidentally watched his films. I've seen a lot.

      However, the interesting thing is that I have never had any impression of him. I have forgotten it after seeing it, and I can’t remember it when I see it again. I don’t even know what his name is. What a magical...

      Win even if you lose

      The Battle of Isandrwana, which took place on January 22, 1879, was undoubtedly one of the most incredible failures in the history of the British Empire. The Zulu people of the tribe were defeated and fled in a sneak attack. More than 1,300 people were killed. Their opponents were only equipped with spears and leather shields, not even cavalry. However, just as the British army broke up in Isandrwana, at a place called Rock Ferry to the north of the battlefield, it was commanded by Lieutenant...

      A very pure 19th century war movie

      Realistic filming techniques, the beautiful African continent, brave Zulu soldiers, and British soldiers who stick to their posts. This pure war movie is very exciting.
      It seems that the United Kingdom is not just a navy. It used to think that the navy can drive the world. The minded field commander, the disciplined ordinary soldier (from Rome to World War II, the discipline of the army is always the main factor), not to become The empire is also difficult if the sun doesn't set.

      The Zulu War-a tragic chapter with spears against guns

      The Zulu War refers to the heroic struggle of the Zulus in South Africa in the 1830s and 1980s to resist the aggression of the Dutch descendants of the Boers and British colonists, and to maintain the unity and territorial integrity of the country. Although the result of the war was the demise of the Zulu Kingdom and the British established colonial rule over South Africa, the Zulu people’s heroic and stubborn national spirit won praise from the people of the world and wrote in the history of...

      casting follows caste

      Eleven people received medals. Among them, Hook is a bad deserter who pretends to be disabled during the war and acts as a dice without fighting. There is no superego. But did you know? None of this group of actors came to the land of South Africa, which is Druckenberg, Botswana, in Natal province. In order to save money for the film crew, they ended the selfie in the UK.

      The opening song is imitating the folk songs and dances at the end!

      The descendants of the Hook...

      In 2004/05, the "World Military" magazine also saw the introduction of this battle. The Red Army won more with less, and the two commanders became famous! Generals have tactics, spirit, wisdom, courage, and implement their own goals. This is the quality a soldier and a general should...

    • [repeated line]

      Colour Sergeant Bourne: All right, nobody told you to stop working.

    • Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead: At one hundred yards, volley fire! Present! Aim! Fire!

    • Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead: Well done, Adendorff, we'll make an Englishman of you yet!

      Adendorff: No, thanks. I'm a Boer. The Zulus are the enemies of my blood. What are you doing here?

      Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead: You don't object to our help, I hope?

      Adendorff: It all depends on what you damned English want for it afterwards.
