Barbarian King

The actors are to be praised for their amazing ability to not only act and commit to their role but to portray a wide set of emotions that aren't so easily achieved or portrayed. I felt total immersion and connection with the characters throughout, even though I know virtually no Zulu. The mix of languages is a great depiction of South Africa, and the portrayal of HIV crisis and poverty and crime is a mirror to both Apartheid times and the remnants of that same struggle now. I cannot congratulate or praise this movie more than saying it is near perfect in all physical aspects and that budget capabilities would be the only factor to even remotely improve an already amazing movie. Well done.
