"Seen in the cold light of day it's actually an anti-war film".
You know your remark made me go on and take a look at Sheldon Hall's magnificent book, "Zulu..With Some Guts behind It". In it, some reviewers did think it was an "anti-war" film but I kind of go along with Punch's anonymous critic who believed that the anti-war theme as typified in the treatmen by the Reverend Witt and his daughter wasn't carried through the film to emphasize that point. I think 'Zulu" is one of those finely crafted films where answers to questions aren't so easy to come by. I'm not sure if Mr. Endfield felt it was an "anti-war" film but he gives everything a twist where he has the old Reverend liking his "moonshine" and telling them all at Rorke's... "You're all going to die!!!!!!" Not exactly uplifting considering the tenuous situation. |
