I seriously don't understand the issue with the depictions of the Zulu in the movie? They aren't portrayed as stupid, inept, or ahistorically. Does any movie featuring non-white indigenous people just get a warning, despite the content or context of the film?

I didn’t know Tubi did that. Zulu was a critically acclaimed movie not sure what is wrong with it. Haven’t seen it since I was little but I’ve heard nothing but good thing
Yeah the ads are annoying but it's not overwhelming at least. I'm lost about the warning as well. The movie was well received by the Zulu community in the 60s. The grandson of King Cetawayo portrayed his grandfather in the movie. So he couldn't have been offended by it.
Exactly. I guess modern day people are offended
That's my point, what are they offended by? If they are mad the Zulus wore loin cloths and had spears, too bad it's what is accurate.
Most true believers probably couldn't even tell you. They're just made uncomfortable by white men in military uniforms who aren't righteously slaughtered to the last man by black kangz. Deep down in their souls, it's really just hatred, after all. Some might be able to recognize their discomfort with the uniforms and babble semi-coherently about colonialism, but that's probably it.
