1 | * 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. |
2 | * Sergeant Bourne reciting Psalm 46: |
3 | -->'''Bourne:''' Bit of the Psalms, I suppose. My father was a lay preacher. A great one for the Psalms, he was. There's one, oof - might've been written for a soldier... |
4 | -->'''Witt:''' Say it, man! Lift your voice to God! |
5 | -->'''Bourne:''' Now, sir? |
6 | -->'''Witt:''' (''delighted'') Let them hear your voice! |
7 | -->'''Bourne:''' They know my voice. |
8 | -->'''Witt:''' Let them hear it now in praise of the Lord. Call upon him. Call upon him, man, for your salvation. |
9 | -->(''the soldiers stop working and look at Bourne in excitement'') |
10 | -->'''Bourne:''' As far as I can remember sir, it goes something like this, 'He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder...The Lord of Hosts is with us.' |
11 | * Bromhead encouraging the wounded Chard, especially considering how they've interacted up until now: |
12 | -->'''Bromhead:''' Now listen, old boy; you're not badly hurt. We need you! Damn you, we ''need'' you, understand?! |
13 | * Pvt. Hook, despite himself, doesn't run off and abandon his fellows when the situation turns dire, even the sergeant he was always butting heads with. And then in a darker way, when the sergeant is killed, Hook is horrified. |
