Red Dawn
Go Big Red!
I was channel surfing a week ago and stumbled upon the last part of the movie Zulu. A few days later i was perusing the bargain bin at Wally Mart while my wife shopped and I stumbled across a dvd of the movie. I bought it and must say it is a great movie. It is about a small group of British soldiers who defend their fort from 4,000 Zulu warriors in 1879 Africa. Micheal Caine is in it in his first movie role. This movie looks great on a wide-screen. This movie was made in the mid sixties and one of the things I like about it is they really tried to be as authentic as possible, using members of the Zulu tribe in the cast. The songs and sounds of the Zulu in their wedding dance and subsequent battle scenes are really great. The battle scenes are very good considering when the film was made. The frequent shots of the beautiful African countryside is also a plus. The movie features some great characters also.
I am a fan of historical dramas, and I think this is a great film. Anyone else like this one?
