"Once Were Warriors" is a fictionalized account of aboriginal New Zealanders who are alienated from their Maori culture and the terrible consequences of that alienation. Presented in both a novel and movie, "Once Were Warriors" is one of the rare cases in which the movie was better than the book. The book is clumsily written and uses no dialogue. Building on the book, the movie achieves cinematic excellence by using: superb acting and deep character development; meaningful violence; the Maori Culture; a key shift of blame; and technical/dramatic devices in lighting, makeup, colors and soundtrack. The combination of all these factors made the movie far superior to the book on which it was based.
