Good to see that the gammonflake professional offence takers are upset that some people have used their freedom of speech to express a view about a film festival.Comment

Well maybe they should show the film to show how the British imperialists subjugated the indigenous peoples of a country that they had no right to be in and were rewarded for it. I wonder if the Zulu king rewarded his fighters with shiny pieces of metal for fighting for their homeland?
It seems though that neither side should have acted in the way that they did anyway...“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Jam anyone?
There is nothing racist about it and I think it shows a fair representation of what occurred as far as we know. I can't recall any racist language and on the contrary I remember some scenes where the layabouts in the hospital are put in their place when considering the enemy coming to fight them.
As for the film, it's one of my favourites, a true classic piece of movie making. Used to watch it every year over crimbo along with Wizard of Oz as a kid.
I'm not going to apologise for the actions of my ancestors who I never met or knew, it's just history. Learn from it don't try to rewrite it.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

30,137 people expressed a positive view about the film.

Do you also bleat on about the treatment of Indians (non Bobs) as shown in Westerns that are currently still being shown on TV?How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't thinkComment

Zulu is a great film and not particularly racist IMO.
Gives totally the wrong picture of the wider context though: the Zulus won the battle of Isandlwana, in spite of not having the latest guns or artillery.
It took a much larger army sent later to subdue them.Hard Brexit now!

Biggest travesty about Zulu is the way the bloody sheep shaggers have hijacked it as one of their successes
Of the 122 soldiers of the 24th Regiment present at the Battle of Rorke's Drift, 49 were English , 32 were Welsh, 16 were Irish, one was a Scot, and three were born overseas, rest unknown.Comment
