The two lions in their prime of life (according to the judgment of the skulls, the two lions are about 7 years old, and the prosperity is tight) cannibalism is not entirely due to the destruction of nature by humans. Because of the rinderpest raging, the amount of traditional food for lions dropped sharply. In addition, there were slave trades along the railway, and the corpses of the slaves who died due to torture and disease were rarely buried properly. In addition, the corpses of Indian workers who died in disobedience are also buried along the railway line built in abundance, providing lions with a huge amount of...feasts that are far easier to obtain than animals. Lions occasionally eat decay, but unfortunately develop a cannibal appetite...

If you have to discuss ideas or the like, most of Hollywood's excellent films are probably not as good as our harmonious film influx. This is a movie about the struggle between man and beast. It does not need to carry too much compassion. It only needs to reproduce the sensational horror legend on the East African continent a hundred years ago.

My only regret is that the specimens of the two male lions back then are still standing at the Field Museum in Chicago, USA, and they don’t have manes. In the movie, it may be because it is too difficult to find suitable animal actors, or it is not meaningful to watch, so that the two lions grow manes. In short, there is still a certain discrepancy with historical facts.

The Ghost and the Darkness quotes

  • Nigel: Patterson the lion killer. I do wish I had been here for the hunt.

    John Patterson: No, you don't.

  • Samuel: [narrating] The men called them the Ghost and the Darkness. There were two of them, and that had never happened before because man-eaters are always alone. They owned the night but they also attacked in daylight. Alone or together. Without fear or reason. Some thought they were not lions at all, but the spirits of dead medicine men come back to spread madness. Or they were the devil sent to stop the white man from owning the world. I believed this... that they were evil. What better ground for evil to walk than Tsavo? Because this is what the word Tsavo means; "a place of slaughter".
