1. About Zulu People
Zulu is the most populous ethnic group in South Africa. With its own language, culture, and music, Zulu is still the most spoken language in South Africa. In the past 200 years, the Zulu nation has been in constant warfare, from the descendants of the leader’s alien refuge, rise, annexation, power expansion and establishment of the kingdom, to brotherly fighting for the throne, to the transfer of half of the land after the victory of the mercenary Polish conquest, and then to the British colonization. Ruling, the Zulu’s power went from prosperity to decline. By the apartheid system in the 1970s and 1980s, they only settled in the area designated by the colonial government (later established as a province). The current South African President Zuma is a Zulu. Two previous vice presidents were also Zulu.
2. The drama
"Zulu" is adapted from the novel of the same name.
The 40-year-old police officer Ali of the Cape Town Homicide Group in South Africa and the white police officer Bryan started investigating from the murder of an 18-year-old white girl and found that the girl had taken a new type of drug during her lifetime. , And committed suicide due to guilt. When the case went deep, it was discovered that this was not simply a drug manufactured and sold, but a biological and chemical weapon developed by a large group to be used for the extinction of blacks. While selling, they secretly experiment with blacks, feeding their corpses to pigs or other wild animals. Some children have disappeared, and the bodies of children who have harmed themselves have been found. The white girl was just gluttonous, and when she attacked others, she was beaten to death by others.
In the process of solving the case, the body of another white woman was found, and her death was similar to that of an 18-year-old girl. The hair in the woman's hands easily exposed the murderer. It turned out that this was just a blind eye for the group behind the scenes.
While Ali and Brian continued to investigate further, despite their superiors’ obstruction, Ali’s mother and girlfriend were brutally murdered. When Brian carried the stolen hard drive to exchange for his tied ex-wife, he was also tied up. When his life was at stake, he died. Escape...This group of black-and-white partners has been driven to a dead end by now.
The Zulu Ali, who experienced the massacre during apartheid since childhood and survived, has become a huge shadow of physical disability and spiritual trauma, and has always been with him, but with the blood of the Zulu, he is strong in tolerance. Alive. He saw too many lives and deaths, and saw too many national sufferings. Regardless of the bleeding of his injured arm, he broke into and destroyed the drug research and development base alone. He pursued the escaped Doctor of Biochemistry and walked deep into the desert from night to day. When the strength of both of them was about to run out, he rode on the doctor and waved his fading fists... The music was teary, and his slanted face showed drooping lines. The grievances of how many individuals and peoples are going to be, In the end, the doctor's face is showing the situation after being hit by a drug overdose...
When Brian in the helicopter arrived, Ali was sitting quietly leaning on the dead wood in the desert, as if he was asleep—— In fact, he is already dead.
Third, thinking about the equality of
age of any police officer Ali, black and Zulu's position with respect to the period of apartheid has been a qualitative improvement. And the film reveals the truth in the depths of such a period of drugs, which is not unprofound. The awareness and behavior of racial discrimination and genocide cannot immediately disappear under the high-profile slogan of human rights equality. When such a group emerges, it is worthy of vigilance, and it should be more likely to participate in the power behind the group.
The film has a vague description of some plots, but it has a point of meaning, such as the ambiguous attitude of Ali's superiors that are not allowed to go deeper, and who is the instigator of the group's scientific research projects.
There are too many discussions about equality, but in the final analysis, it lies in its own weight. This is true for individuals, nations, and countries.
