Handling is very modern. Plenty of hand-held close-ups, including gunpowder of war.
The movie starts with a football match, as if it was a rehearsal for the war, and they are about to leave for Sudan.
Unlike the old Korda movies, Harry's father hadn't died at this point, because he had tendered his resignation and Harry's father didn't recognize him.
Details of Harry's run to the Egyptian underworld. A woman who can whistle, a belly dancer. There are deserts with graceful curves of the human body. After spending the night with a pair of old blacks, Harry finds out that he is alone. None of these plots were in the old version.
But they use red uniforms, which is historically correct. If you watch the Zulu movie, the British Army wore red uniforms until 1915.
He got mixed up with black women. Kind of like a plot in the shaded sky. He was then used as a spy in the British army. Shows the officers' activities in the tent, which has been blown together by the wind. And Harry and Negro lived like primitive people in the cave, roaring together.
Completely post-colonial thinking, they must not only be pacifists, anti-war, but also think that colonial wars are unjust acts.
Director Shekhar Kapur once said that in this kind of confrontation between East and West, Mahdi at that time can be said to be the one who unified the tribes of Sudan. From their standpoint, he was a hero. And although General Gordon was widely acclaimed, he was just a mercenary invited by Egypt. Because the media put pressure on the government, he sent another support army. His background choice is different, the war is Gordon Relief Expedition (late 1884 to early 1885) in Sudan, the task of the British army is to rescue him General Charles "Chinese" Gordon. The old version is the late war in the 1890s.
The war was very grand, and Harry was aided by a local mercenary, Abou Fatma, a black man. The Battle of Abu-Klea used the four sides of the British army as legal, showing a brilliant momentum, but it was also the first time the British army was broken.
