I can't remember the last time I watched a movie and felt as empty as I did after watching Once Were Warriors. I thought after watching Los Sovidalos, I felt a piece of me die with it's ending. But, this movie raised the bar and cleared it by an Olympic world record!!!
I admire how Lee Tomahori kept the characters undefined in the beginning. The characters who seemed to be the good guys in the beginning ended up not being who they appeared to be. And they way the character's developed was totally genius! I do not think anyone would have guessed how it all turned out.
Through my course of life, I've met a few women from Australia and New Zealand. The one thing they all admired about American men is the way we treat our women. I never quite understood what they meant until I saw this movie. NOT saying or implying that ALL men from Australia and New Zealand treated their women this way, but I can see through how different American women are in comparison how this movie would be true.
Sadly enough to say, this type of behavior happens here in our own backyard. And what's even more sad is how people turns the other way while this continue. But, as in everything in life with how are actions are, the children suffer the ultimate sacrifice! And they way the children suffered is very empty. But, the true strength of a mother and family is what helps put a band-aid on the scars we receive in life.
