History Heartwarming / Zulu

* Pvt. Hook, despite himself, doesn't run off and abandon his fellows when the situation turns dire. And then in a darker way, when the corporal who was always butting heads with him is killed, Hook is horrified.

* A meta example. Because of the apartheid laws in South Africa at the time of filming, director Cy Endfield was forbidden from paying the Zulu extras at an equal rate to the other actors. He got around this by giving them all the animals (mostly cattle) that were used in the production, which were a lot more valuable to them than the money would have been.

* It's probably out of place but the ending, when the Zulu sing praise for the defenders and leave was a pretty heartwarming moment. As the translator of the group said they were "Saluting fellow braves." And after they've all left, one lingered a moment longer to give the defenders one last salute. Historically, this never happened and the Zulu only left when the British received reinforcements.
