That Theme song straight Channels the Ancestors and activates your pineal glands I swear
Havent watched this in a few years but def. a great film . I think parts were expectedly b*stardized but lets be real you cant always get it 100% right with history films
full movie (youtube)
They for real and still are Their were way better africans at the time, but dudes keep worshiping the zulu like they was top tier or something
Yo i'm sorry but those dudes need to take a back seat they literally riding off hype from white people. My problem with them they somehow became the face of African Tribes them dudes is nowhere close the things you hear about them no culture just random violence no logic killing their best leader because he wanted respect shaka wasn't even full zulu but i ain't digging deep into it because them nikkas was mean. That's the only reason they popular because they were blood thirsty and one dimensional.has nothing to do with this being the GOAT Black Historic film/miniseries

All these other africans showcasing culture, finesse, survival, skill, get no attention because they weren't big masculine savages is pathetic and once again i'm sorry but i'm sick of it.
I remember going to school after redneck white trash watched this film
A cac got punched in the face
I was a kid when that came on.If the Theme song dont make you proud to be black IDK what will

This^^^
Same with hyping Egypt........... nikkas initially started dikkriding Egypt because CAC did.
I feel you on being discussed. I'm genetically Nubian and I Still don't dikkride egypt or sudan......... and damn sure don't dikkride Shaka Zulu AKA the muthfacker who perfected the art of Killing Africans and Did NOT perfect the art of Killing CACS ---- He gave the British Free reign to trade and do fukkerry in south Africa.
Bloodthirst isn't our defining quality as a people
i wasn't speaking on black people in general , not youThe topic is on the actual film, more so than whether or not we like the Zulu History. My Grandfather was a chief, and my Great Grandfather via Marriage built the town my father is from, so I can look at my own family history for inspiration.
Because European contact with Africa started inauspiciously , at least to Africans then, until it later turned into something else. The Portuguese for instance made initial contact with Africans for more than a 100 years before colonization formally began. It began with trade, then "explorers" like Henry Morton Stanely, then the missionaries followed by trading companies which began colonizing. From what i have read of the Congolese experience,and Southern Africa it was like that. In addition to that most groups were loosely connected, the Zulu were a small tribe compared to the Ndwandwe and Mthethwa and it was war that created a huge unified entity of the Zulu. If that consolidation did not happen they would have been a small marginal group that would have been subsumed by other groups. The series created this blood thirsty narrative about him without emphasizing the Nguni nation building strategy, the Xhosa,Ndebele,Shangan among others were built in a similar manner.Shakka should have slaughtered the Europeans on site, damn why are we such a righteous people.
