Maori Men of New Zealand wear Ta moko often referred to as Maori tattoos on their face and body they don't just get them to look cool. Ta moko is a core component of Maori culture and an outward expression of commitment and respect. For New Zealand Māori women, the moko kauae, or traditional female chin tattoo, is considered a physical manifestation of their true identity.

I remember when it came out there was suddenly a lot more demand for substance abuse programs and family counselling. Big, mean-looking, patched up Maori dudes going into the movie theatre all rowdy and coming out looking shell shocked or flat out crying. It didn't last more than a year or so for a lot of 'em but that movie literally changed the lives for the better for some people (and their families) who saw it.

I'm an Aussie and to me this is one of the best films ever released and made me look into Maori culture more. The movie helps the viewer understand the challenges Maori's face today but also helps us understand their culture so much better. It deals with how western culture has broken down traditional culture, but also how the people are adapting and dealign with it. The Maori culture is beautiful, complex and respectful. It is one of those cultures that the rest of the world can learn a lot from. It also deals with personal and modern issues as well. It is a film that is broad, brazen, challenging, confronting to the world, brought to us from a small nation with great history.

You not truly Samoan/Tongan/Hawaiian (any Pacific Islander for that matter) or Kiwi, if you haven't seen ONCE WERE WARRIORS. It is truly one of the most tragically heartbreaking stories ever told, because of just how relatable the characters are (especially to us Polynesians). Temuera Morrison may be known to many as either Jango Fett, or Aquaman's Dad.....but to us Polynesians, he will forever be known as Jake "The Muss" Heke.

If you folks have watched the movie, would you two do a review on your thoughts and feelings surrounding this film ..be nice to get your perspective around the many facets of life we deal with. Alcoholism, domestic violence, drug abuse, pedophelia, poverty etc ..these silent killers do exactly that, kill the spirit ..self condemn the soul ..

They're Maoris who were pretty bad ass warriors, hence the title. The Brits colonised NZ but the Maoris were experts in guerilla warfare and gave the English a lot of trouble even though the English had guns. So the English signed a treaty with the Maori and all the chiefs signed but the Maoris couldn't read English and they were tricked by the wording out of their land. Maori pioneered trench warfare in the hills and had their own martial arts using the Taiaha a hardwood stick with a flat arrowhead type point at one end and a flat axe like end. they also had the patu, greenstone flat paddle axe- like clubs that could split a skull with ease. Nowadays South auckland where Once were warriors is set is a dangerous rough place where you have to be careful where you go, especially if you're white.

You might like Whale Rider as well. Whale Rider is a 2002 New Zealand-German family drama film written and directed by Niki Caro. Based on the 1987 novel of the same name by Witi Ihimaera, the film stars Keisha Castle-Hughes as Kahu Paikea Apirana, a twelve-year-old Māori girl whose ambition is to become the chief of the tribe. Her grandfather Koro Apirana believes that this is a role reserved for males only. The film was a coproduction between New Zealand and Germany. It was shot on location in Whangara, the setting of the novel. The world premiere was on 9 September 2002, at the Toronto International Film Festival. The film received critical acclaim upon its release. At age 13, Keisha Castle-Hughes became the youngest nominee for the Academy Award for Best Actress.

When I watched it for the first time, the theater was packed and what I saw from the movie was true to the core, the whole movie from start to finish, even down to the bar itself is actually a proper bar where my aunty Jessie and uncle Major ues to go to drink. Its a tear jerker to the point where, when it finished, 2 Hugh Maori guys came out crying, because they knew what they saw was real, it was like seeing there young lives through a movie once again. It bought tears to a lot of people's eyes. Yes I hate to say it but there are uncle bullies in this world and Jake the Musd and all so Beth Heke as well. There are children living on the streets, because they think its safer on the streets then at home, but I was so glad I lived in a loving home, but as I grew up, I did see the violence and that's why I know this movie is true and I appreciate it. It's a watch

@Kingite1 3 жыл бұрын

Basically the movie is a piece of New Zealand history going back back to the 70s & 80s growing up in urbanization with government state housing projects to help with the indeginous first nation people moving away from our tribal land in search for work in the cities. It's a true story on all levels that many of us kiwis can vividly relate to with the haunting reminders of what colonization has caused us over the generations going back to pre 1840 where we Maori were Warriors with mana and dignity completely autonomous from westernisation
