Snowflake campaigners trying to axe 1964 war epic Movie Zulu

[normaM]

Snowflakes are not only pretty no two are alike so I really dislike the slur. Hardly a war epic, more a slaughter.

Imagine if Joe knew the movie was made by communists sympathizers, he'd be asking for it to be banned as well.

The principal artists responsible for Zulu were hardly Establishment figures. Screenwriter John Prebble was a former Communist Party member who had volunteered to fight in the Spanish Civil War. His co-writer, the American director Cy Endfield, had fled Hollywood in the early 1950s after he was named as a Communist during the McCarthyite witch-hunts. Endfield’s production partner and the film’s main star was Stanley Baker, a life-long supporter of the Labour Party.

Great find! They did a great job making the show! Just shows you the infiltration of hollywood was back then by the Communist Party USA and how it affected hollywood and the social engineering that has gone on since. Again great find!

Oh by the way....when members of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade were killed in the Spanish Civil War, the Soviet secret police the NKVD took their passports and sent agents under disguise into America to infiltrate Unions, Churches, the media, industry, schools. etc, etc, etc Bet you didn't know that eh!

Also goes to prove of the communist infiltration of Labour party and Democratic party. Great find, backs up what people have been telling us for decades.

45 goals of the Communist Party USA:

# 15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

Oh and this one of course...very important for social engineering.

# 21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

Getting back to the original topic, I read into the original article that a handful of people were more concerned with the historical inaccuracies of the film rather than any blatant racial overtones.
The movie is one of the most popular war movies of all times, but the producers certainly took creative liberties with some of the historical facts concerning the events and the participants.
Still a very entertaining fictional adaptation of an historical event.

Here is the actual topic. Get back on it please. Thank you.

Liberal PC's gone wild again...

True Battle between a British hospital garrison and Zulu's
Most Victoria Crosses were won at this battle at Rourke's Drift.

Snowflake campaigners are blasted for trying to force a film festival to axe charity screening of Zulu because they think the 1964 war epic is racist

War great, which stars Michael Caine, to air at Folkestone Silver Screen Cinema
Pop-up film festival in Kent aims to raise money for armed forces charity SSAFA
Fickle group of 28 people said 55-year-old movie is filled with 'racial overtones'
But locals have called the campaigners 'ridiculous' and said it's 'PC gone mad'

What happened at Rorke's Drift? How 150 British soldiers held off 4,000 Zulu warriors in 1879 battle

On January 11, 1879, a British force commanded by Lieutenant-General Lord Chelmsford invaded Zululand.

From 22 to 23 January, on the bank of the Buffalo River in Natal Province, South Africa a 140-strong British garrison successfully defended the Rorke's Drift mission station.

The British garrison was commanded by Lieutenant John Chard, Royal Engineers and Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead of the 24 Foot.

The Zulus were commanded by Prince Dabulamanzi kaMapande.

Lt Chard was the commanding officer and organised the epic defence which saw them defy all odds to see off the 4,000 fierce Zulu warriors.

For 12 hours the British repelled the spear-carrying tribesmen with accurate shooting and brutal hand-to-hand combat.

The Zulus, known for their bravery and ferocity, were eventually forced to retreat with 350 of their number killed compared to 17 British.

The defensive British force was rewarded by Queen Victoria's government with no fewer than 11 Victoria Crosses.

The battle was part of the wider Anglo-Zulu war took place during 1879.

Almost every movie made from any historical event has fiction added too it. You are right on that point.Or even will add characters that never existed and add them into the mix....

So let me get this straight, you claim everyone else is unwittingly being socially engineered by the communist labour party, and yet you're promoting a movie they made?

^^^ every movie based on historical events, are at best are very loosely based on those events.

If you want something closer to the historically, go watch a documentary.
