Saw it when it came out 😛
You have to see both Zulu and Zulu Dawn to get the full picture. I liked Zulu Dawn a bit better for its closer attention to detail. For example – the Tommy’s staining their pith hats with tea so that they would not make them such an obvious target. Another interesting point – the song they sing, “Men of Harlech”, was not the regimental song adopted by the 24th Regiment of Foot at that time, but rather was the song “The Warwickshire Lad”, which is probably not quite so heroic. Wikipedia has great info about both films.
I’ve always been interested in the political bent of the film, made so blatant in the depiction of Missionary Otto Witt. Hawkins acting is so over the top, a drunkard religions pacifist – (which is totally incorrect historically, so one must assume that they were making a deliberate point about pacifism / religion being basically a perspective of fools.) Interesting that the film was directed by a blacklisted director. Was Witt/Hawkins so over the top as to make the performance itself seem outrageous. Hawkins can be somewhat melodramatic but this i think this is his most one dimensional over the top performance, which always makes me wonder why he chose to go this route. Everyone else is so restrained, which heightens the contrast to near absurdity. ‘Zulu’ is am Uber patriotic film. Its interesting that Zulu Dawn, which focuses on the folly of war and inept leaders, was put out in 79, post Vietnam for us Americans, when patriotism associated with war had been seriously diminished.
