Anonymous No longer registered	I was wondering if anyone has seen this movie. It's an independent film by a New Zealand filmaker. I warn you that it is very violent and disturbing in it's content but it is also by far the most powerful film I've seen in the last ten years.

A few weeks ago, my hubby and I decided to watch both "Warriors" and "Broken Hearted" together. We were both stunned by how powerfully these films showed the breakdown and building back up of the human spirit. The two films were both beautifully acted (Temuera Morrison who played Jake was excellent in both movies) and wonderfully filmed. I'd heartily recommend both films and the book(s) (I'm not sure if "Broken Hearted" is a novel) to anyone Blessings MeKare ------------------ Religion is a wizard, a sibyl . . .

I was brought to tears in several paarts of the movie. I wont watch the sequel because it would just be way too intense. ------------------ If we dont change the world... then who will save it??? _________________________ Life is a canvas- you fill in the picture.
