ZULU, machtige film. Verhaal van de strijd tussen een groepje engelse soldaten en duizenden krijgers van de Zulu stam in zuidelijk Afrika.

Spartacus is overtijd uitgekomen in een 2 disc Special Edition (R2).
Ik heb hem gekocht voor €16.90 in de Mediamarkt.
Enige nadeel aan die dvd:
Er staat een DD5.1 Engelse track op, en een Franse DTS track, waardoor de film is gesplits over de 2 dvs's

Er is ook nog the Four Feathers. Deze film gaat ook over oorlog in één van de kolonies van Engeland

De meeste filmen die ik zo kan bedenken zijn al opgenoemd, daarjuist nog Glory gaan halen in de Carrefour in Diest voor 10,9€. Die Waterloo en Hornblower intreseert me ook wel, is iemand die al ergens tegengekomen?

in de extra zone hasselt staat de _hornblower_ collection box. geen idee van prijs. _napoleon_ heb ik in de carrefour hier zien staan dacht ik.
online zijn ze praktisch overal te verkrijgen.
denk juist nog ergens aan: de tv mini-serie _rough riders_. ten tijde van spanish-american war, wel niet echt grootse formatiegevechten, maar toch.. is met tom berenger (komt ge in bijna elke van dat soort films tegen) en sam elliott (ditto).Last edited by bull-Ox; 07-06-2004 at 15:53.

Waterloo heb ik een half jaar geleden voor 14 euro in de FNAC gekocht (was toen wel groene prijs), het is dus de film uit 1970 en niet de recente mini-serie Napoleon die ik qua militaire vormgeving ferm vond tegenvallen
mooie review
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bondarchuk performs a master-stroke of directing. The cinematography is amazing and highly effective, combining clever, well-chosen close-ups with audacious panoramic views of the battlefield. Thrown into this the great performances by Steiger and Plummer and an amazing supporting cast, including the great Jack Hawkins (sadly, due to his having throat cancer, rather badly dubbed) as the curmudgeonly General Sir Thomas Picton, Dan O'Herlihy as the charismatic Marshal Ney and Virginia McKenna as the snobbish closet-Bonapartist Duchess of Richmond, and the result is magic!
The battle scenes are exceptional (although perhaps not quite bloody enough to give an accurate depiction of the horror and carnage of warfare at that time). Bondarchuk wastes no time using poetic licence, dumbing down or filling every scene with stupid romantic flummery - the characterisation is limited to the two great commanders and those closest around them at the time. Only Ney and Soult and Uxbridge, Ponsonby and Picton are developed much beyond simply who they were.
The film should also be congratulated on its historical accuracy. One or two minor inaccuracies aside, the film is extremely faithful, especially in terms of the battle itself and the military strategy involved. Sadly, in recent times, especially in America, the Hollywood machine seems all to happy to totally re-write history (e.g., "Saving Private Ryan" and "Braveheart"). Anyone looking for another "Titanic" or "Ryan" will not be interested in this film. If you just like watching films that bypass historical fact and depict the U.S.A. single-handedly saving the world then may I recommend "U-571".
This film does none of these things, it shows the French, English, Scots, Irish, Belgians, Dutch, Prussians (Germans), Russians, and all the rest, fighting in a time when war was honourable and wasn't decided by some lab-technician siting three miles under ground in Washington with his finger on a button and where there where military casualties actually outnumbered civilian ones.
This film is exceptionally impressive, especially given as many of the panoramic views of the army formations were shot using cardboard cut-outs (much more effective than the contemporary practice of simply CGI-ing both armies). The only flaw is the bad dubbing throughout the film and the fact that, like so many de Laurentiis films, the original director's cut was 5 hours long and some soulless corporate hacks slashed it down to just over 2!
Nevertheless, this is movie-history!

thx bull-Ox, dan zal ik daar eens gaan kijken. Die epische battles zijn altijd machtig, een aanrader is misschien dan ook het game Cossacks + uitbreidingen. Heb ik toch wel een paar fijn herinneringen aan.
