★★★★ The question is if something like this could be filmed today. It is the reconstruction of a battle between 150 English soldiers and 4,000 Zulus in South Africa at the end of the 19th century. Especially since there are no concessions regarding the ferocity of one side or the other, and we know that political correctness is not fairness but partiality. In any case, the story goes through another side: the courage of a few faced with the inevitable, to fight to survive. And it is known that in these stories we are always on the side of the weak.

For the rest, that equanimity that we mentioned is in the film not only because of its historical accuracy, but because it does not deny the Zulus reason or intelligence (for those who believe that all past cinema was racist: morality was not born yesterday, millennials). . And by the way, Michael Caine teaching as a young man, which adds a few points to this spectacular film.
