Review of Once Were Warriors (1994) by Marta I — 29 Jun 2008
This is a poweful film. The film portrays the horror of domestic violence in a terrifing way. The scene is relatively short but holy shit is it f*cked up.
This film was shown to my Maarriage and Family class bu my professor who was a survivor of domestic violence herself, she went on to describe that this was an accurate depiction of the violence in her life. That brought tears to my eyes.
But like the film (sorry) it shows that one can rebuild and grow I would not be bold to say happy endings because with experiences like this it is far from happy. The experiences had molded my professor into the strong woman she is but she still has some issues, which who wouldn't or doesn't.
But the film is a honor to the old traditions which some lose sight of.
Honestly the scene is not for the bleeding hearts....it hurt me to watch it.
