"Zulu" is a film that is not highly rated, and many reviews say that this film is very old-fashioned, not fresh, suspenseful, and violent. I think it's funny to be able to make such an evaluation, which shows that they didn't have the heart to watch and respect this film, in fact, "Zulu" is a very touching movie. First of all, the Zulu is a human population, the largest black race in Africa, the Zulu have the most athletic body shape of the black race, the most beautiful eyes, and this race represents the ability to fight, and the Zulu is a word that can represent the black African population, which is similar to the Yanhuang we mentioned. So director Jerome Salle named the film "Zulu" with certain feelings. Then, the reason why many friends will comment that "Zulu" is old-fashioned, not suspenseful enough, too violent, personally feel that it is our eyes and minds that there is a problem, and it is a mistake to look at this deep-rooted film "Zulu" with the eyes of "Sherlock Holmes" or Quentin and Kitano Takeshi. It should be analyzed from another angle, from the perspective of documentary and police films, which is the right direction. Zulu is an informative film about the path to justice, so fans who like Fast and Furious disdain nelson Raly Herrah Mandela or Mahatma Gandhi can walk away.
The three main characters of the film, the leader of the major crime team, Black Ali. Sokra (Played by Forrest Whitaker); white assistant Dan. Fletcher (Conrad. Kemp played); white assistant Brian. Epkin (Played by Orlando Bloom). It is a group of three people who have their own misfortunes, and at the same time, they are also friends who have cooperated for many years. Ali, the head of the serious case team. Sorak, as a child in apartheid South Africa, witnessed his father being burned to death in the streets and was bitten off by hounds released by pursuers on his escape. White assistant Dan. Fletcher was a typical good father, his wife was suffering from cancer, and he had two lovely sons. And the most personal Brian. Epkin is also white, his father was a prosecutor in South Africa, a typical chauvinist, because he hated the crimes committed by his late father during the apartheid period in South Africa, he changed his name and surname, and only set up a wordless tombstone for his father's cemetery, without trimming; divorced; alcoholics; promiscuous, jealous, but completely a drunken cat with a police badge. It can be said that "Zulu" is a big drama of three grassroots cops, a scene of the grassroots Avengers' quest for justice.
Opening white girl Nicole. The tragic death of Wertz shows us the injustice of the world, in South Africa's largest slum, in Cayarisha, a number of black children disappear every day, but no one cares, the convention is just not over. Ali's mother said: "You know there's another child missing there, obviously, nobody cares about these children... "But Nicole. Wiltz's father was the famous rugby coach Stewart. Wiltz, South Africa's wealthy class. Her death became a shocking event, and the radio in Inspector Ali's car announced: "Former rugby world champion Stewart." Wiltz held a press conference this afternoon to protest the inaction of the South African authorities in the face of rising violence... "Outside the car window, under the dim street lights, two slum boys wrestled together, one pushed the other under him, frantically hitting him on the head, Ali got out of the car to persuade, but was kicked in the leg by one of them, and the two black children quickly fled, burrowed into a drainage pipe, and disappeared. Ali found a paper bag on the ground containing the drug TIK. Rich girl Nicole. Wiltz, 20, died at 2 a.m., blood tests involving drug TIK, sexual activity before death, and the cause of death was violent beatings. Major Case Team Leader Ali. Sokra was ordered to solve the case. The deceased's father, Stewart, stood on the stairs of the mansion, condescending to investigate the door-to-door drunken cat Brian. "My daughter was raped and killed by a scumbag, but you didn't do anything, they harassed the country all the time, and you didn't do anything," Epkin said. "Countless black children in the slums are missing, no one cares, and the death of a rich and undesirable girl can cause an uproar, which is the real South Africa."
Big drunk cat Brian. Epkin's wife Ruby leaves the impoverished Brian and marries Rick, a rich dentist, who can't afford his son's alimony and begs in front of his ex-wife in a thick skin. Rick arrived in a luxury car and humiliated him. Brian said helplessly, "Happy to you. Brian actually loves his wife and son, but reality gives him cruel separation, complaining, helplessness, poverty, this is reality. And Dan. Although Fletcher has a happy home, his wife Claire is already terminally ill with cancer, her hair is falling out due to chemotherapy, and the younger son said: "Daddy, Mommy's leaves have fallen." "That's the reality, the harsh reality. At the barbecue party of the three friends, Claire, who was terminally ill, said with some excitement: "There, during the apartheid period, it is really great, how many black people were tortured and slaughtered at Walker Plath (the anti-riot police headquarters in South Africa during the apartheid period, notorious for capturing and killing black people)?" "We have decided that we will coexist peacefully, and let the past pass." Black Inspector Ali said, "Those bastards have been pardoned, it's too easy!" As long as you really want to mediate in front of the commission, admit the crimes committed, jump, everything is forgivable, this is like acquittal in court, it is simply ridiculous! Claire replied uncompromisingly, and her husband, looking into her angry eyes, said to her, "Don't you think you're exaggerating?" The drunken cat spoke: "We are too kind to these obscene billets. "They will exploit our loopholes, and now these criminals are as free as birds, and the vast majority of rich people act as if nothing has happened." Claire chimed in. Ali, who had been silent, said, "So what do you want?" revenge? Let more people die because of it? "It's not revenge, Ali, it's justice, what I want more is justice." cinnabar. Fletcher put his hand on his excited wife and said, "Claire, if anyone here speaks of revenge, it is only Ali. But he had enough courage and wisdom to forgive! Ali bowed his head and meditated: "If you want to live in peace with your enemy, you need to fight side by side with the enemy, and the enemy will become a friend----- Mandela."
The investigation is ongoing, and the death of a rich woman leads to the drug dealer Stan, the deceased Nicole. It was at his hands that Wertz died. In order to hunt down Stan, Inspector Ali, Brian and Dan, go to the beach where the drug dealers are infested. During the pursuit, a criminal gang with heavy weapons is encountered, and Dan is cut off a hand and has his throat cut. Inspector Ali felt that this was not an ordinary homicide, the master of the criminal gang was nicknamed "Cat", murderous and inhuman, but there was someone else behind the cat. At the funeral of her friend Dan, Claire, who is suffering from cancer, said to Ali and Brian with tears in her eyes: "I thank you for all that you have done for Dan, I don't want you to do anything again, and I don't want you to attend any memorial ceremonies." I know, you guys are sorry... Ali, who silently withdrew, said to Brian: "She needs time. "Some things are hard to forgive" Janet, the righteous police secretary, volunteered to join Ali and Brian. She has uncovered new clues through hacking, and DPS Security is doing something ulterior motive behind it. Brian, the drunken cat, said to Janet, "Congratulations Jane, I hope you don't mind, one day a dark and sleepless Zulu told you that you can get paid for justice." It was the desire for justice that brought the three together.
Another bloody case, white girl Kate. Montgomery was killed on the beach while running in the morning, with a modus operandi with Nicole. The Killing of Wertz is similar, and the criminals have left TRACEs of DNA, and Montgomery's abdomen is engraved with bazokhala's handwriting by a knife, which is the Zulu war roar, meaning "We will make them cry". After DNA comparison, the drug dealer Stan was once again involved. But Ali knew that Stan was an illiterate, illiterate who couldn't even spell his own name, and that he couldn't have carved those handwriting on the dead man's abdomen, and it was clear that Stan had been framed. Stan's head appears in the police station's trash can, apparently someone wants to close the case as quickly as possible.
The deaths of the two Caucasian girls were apparently the tip of the iceberg, and after testing, the drug used by the deceased was a new type of drug mixed with another unknown ingredient in the methamphetamine. After taking this new drug, the white rats have the tendency to kill each other and commit suicide. The drugs Ali picked up at the scene where he persuaded the black child to fight were the same as the drugs used by the deceased, and the black child who escaped into the drainage pipe had already committed suicide by cutting his wrists. The drunken cat infiltrated DPS security and stole hard drive data showing a dirty plan of the former Apartheid government in South Africa, and the coastal project surfaced. The content of the coastal project is written by the scientist Eust. Dr. Opman led 200 scientists to develop a race bomb, an ingredient to reduce and kill the black african race. The coastal project was abolished after Mandela took charge of South Africa, and Eust. Dr. Opman was pardoned for confessing his crimes before the Truth Commission and shifting all responsibility to the former South African government. In the video from the 1980s, the morally upright Youster said: "It was the government that commissioned me and 200 scientists to develop race bombs, a molecule that can eliminate the black race, a chemical weapon." I was just following orders and had no right to question my superiors. In this way, he was easily pardoned and disappeared without a trace. But in 2012, the white chauvinist was with Frank, the white chauvinist who was once the head of the coastal project. Despil is making a comeback again. The criminal group that uses the "cat" to control the beach area, through the priest of the black child rescue agency, spreads the new drug to the black children, let them addicted to each other or commit suicide, they call this feeding pigs, and the black children who died tragically are thrown into the pigsty of the priest Langoz Church, eaten by the pigs and buried, and the disappearance of these black children is not cared about at all. Drug dealer Stan illegally takes the new drug and gives the new drug to Nicole, a white girl. Wiltz. Nicole is in a violent tendency due to an overdose, and Stan can't stand her attacks and has to kill her. Ali's mother, the kind and kind Zulu mother, Ali said to her: "Mom, don't be too tired, you are old and sick, help me find the missing child, be sure to pay attention to safety." Alimama kindly said to her son, "Don't forget, your mother is also a Zulu, just like you." But in the end, she was also brutally murdered while helping Ali find the missing child. Desperate, Ali took to the road with a shotgun, came to the chauvinist stronghold, a building in the desert hinterland, and went on a killing spree. Ali, who has endured for 40 years, is no longer hidden. As a child, he lost a gun as a man, and now he wants to use his hands to snatch the shotgun shells and kill these scum one by one.
Eventually, Inspector Ali chases Eust, the initiator of the race bomb, through the desert. Oppman, the two chase and escape from night to the scorching sun, Ali killed Eust with his fist, and he himself died of exhaustion in the desert. The trio was left with only Brian, the big drunk cat. Epkin, who had organized Inspector Ali's funeral, saw the pile of blood, and Brian ordered two new tombstones, one engraved with Inspector Ali. Sokra's name, another piece inscribed with his father's name. Mandela's words lingered in my ears: "If you want to live in peace with your enemies, you need to fight side by side with the enemy, and the enemies become friends", but I would prefer to hear Martin at this time. Luther. Two of King's famous quotes: "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends." Eventually we will forget the words and deeds of our enemies, but we will not forget the indifference of our friends. "At first, they hunted down communists, I was not communists, I remained silent; then they hunted down Jews, I was not Jewish, I remained silent; later, they slaughtered union members, and I remained silent; after that, they surrounded and suppressed Catholics, I was not Catholic, I was still speechless; in the end, they came to me, and no one spoke to me anymore. "What is the meaning of justice? It is "Zulu", which seems to be a movie that is actually a record of police bandits, to tell the story, friends, if you still feel that this film is not suspenseful enough, bloody enough, not hot enough, it can be said that you are really indifferent...
