"Cy Raker Endfield's 1964 film Zulu depicts the Battle of Rorke's Drift in 1879. The effect of capturing genuine British gallantry teeters on being mere propaganda. However, the movie's spectacularly executed in its photography, writing and acting. Taken together, these factors add up to a successful film. But its close examination of the British characters and their reaction to Zulu courage and battlefield savvy reveal more than a memorable war movie.

From the Paper
"The IT circumstance in Korea makes young people recognize the Internet as a normal part of everyday life, and regard it as one of the various communication tools. Between the Internet and the mobile phone people are not strictly attached to either one or it seems that both are used additionally rather than the usage of one being increased or decreased by the other. E-mails, IM, Blogs and CY are all part of the overall system of the Internet; though their use may vary, they are all considered more effective means of communication than any other available. Off-line intimacy can motivate and activate communication on the Internet, but the opposite cannot always be considered as true. Illusion, time, space and fashion statements are all part of the list of easier attainments online than offline. The rise of the dependence of the Internet in Korea is for both interpersonal and business reasons but the increase in the expanse, level and quality of interpersonal communication is more obvious of the two. More and more Koreans are keen on creating various new on-line cultures in the already established social framework of Korea."
