Zulu is a black ethnic group in South Africa, a militant tribe, but the film has nothing to do with the Zulu tribe. It just serves as the personnel department material for the male protagonist. The film opens with a traditional "noir film-style opening". The female corpse was found in the wild, investigation and evidence collection and so on. The case was solved in about 40 minutes, and then the film directly rose to the racial theme, without giving the audience any respite. The time to digest, the seemingly tense and coherent narrative, is in fact a strong outsider, too obsessed with simple and straightforward narrative techniques and bloody and violent lens style, but lost control of this need to be restrained, and accumulate the story.
In terms of roles, the classic black-and-white "dual hero" style, the fairy prince Orlando Bloom's "self-destruction" starred, trying to change his acting route, a little too hard, the role is superficial, the black actor Whitaker is still the same as always , There is no breakthrough, the interaction between the two is too little, the contrast between the roles is just superficial, most of the time the roles of the two are actually repeated, so that in the climax scene the two people have disagreement and fail to reach the threshold of emotion. point.
At the end of the film, Whitaker raised the so-called fist for justice. It is no different from the black guy who raised the fist of crime at the beginning of the film. It is just a tragedy under racism, and thousands of miles away, we who live happily, We should do more to cherish the hard-won peace.
