oh my god, you’ve seen Zulu (1964)?! my dad made me watch it with him because I wouldn’t shut up about Waterloo (1970) and I suppose he was right to because it’s fully affirmed my love of war and war movies… I don’t understand why they’re building a bridge across a stream that can be crossed on foot, though? am I missing something?

Yes!!! 🤣 I've watched both of those so many times. 😂 I mean keeping in mind I haven't watched it in a long time, I think it's just because it would be more practical to have an actual bridge for troops to cross rather than slowly wading across through that shallow bit.

Some bonus stuff 🤣 I actually don't know when this photo is from, but it's of the Buffalo River (KwaZulu-Natal) near Rorke's Drift, so it at least gives an idea of what they were representing. I believe Chard was also just repairing the pontoon bridge(s) instead of building them, but that's a detail that isn't at all important to the movie. 🤣
