"Jake the Muss" for Women's Refuge NZ (full version)

You gotta respect this guy. He's a movie star, he made his own music album, he hosted his own T.V. show. Such a big star and now he's putting time and effort to help a good cause that needs more attention. God bless Tem and the woman's refugee.

I'm from the UK and only know from Once Were Warriors. Sounds weird, as obviously he's an actor, but I;m so surprised at how he doesn't seem anything like his character, but when he played the character, I was convinced a part of him was actually like Jake The muss. Like, not a wife beater, but a tough guy thug. But you can obviously see he's not. Great actor.

Jake the Muss was not and is not a hero. But Mr Morrison you taking the time to make this video and shining a light on the need of women in such a bad situation helps. I am an American and watched We were warriors and What becomes of the broken hearted years ago. Two of the most powerful movies I have ever seen. Thank you to you and Mrs Owen for playing your parts so convincingly and bringing this subject worldwide. God Bless you both, God Bless the women still stuck and those recovering. And may God still the anger of the men that look up to Jake. They should instead look to their women and realize what a blessing they are.

[@ThejollyFrenchman]

My first boxing coach was Maori, and we talked about Once Were Warriors during a casual conversation. He's the toughest guy I've ever met, but he told me he couldn't finish the movie - it reminded him too much of his upbringing. I had a similar reaction - my dad wasn't as tough as Jake the Muss, but he was just as vicious with his family when I was young. Temuera's performance really brought back that visceral terror I felt as a kid. I'm glad he spends his time trying to help his community - every community needs more of that.

They use to the violence

[@kayakh.8231]

i cried when i first watched one were warriors. the brutality was so foreign to me having grown up in a peaceful and loving home. I knew it was a fictional story but it hits home every time because every inch of that work is made up of real lives. the brutality, violence, and desperation is real. And Temuera is right, its only gotten worse.

[@NearonTC]

I envy the childhood you had. I grew up in the same environment that you see in the film and it was scary. I feel that’s why I get anxious so fast if I get confronted by someone with an extremely aggressive manner. Because it reminds me of my father who would become a “Jake The Muss” after becoming blind drunk. Thankfully Mum left with us when I was around 8. This film definitely hits home for some of us viewers. It felt so real that I actually had to leave the room and get some fresh air outside. The things that happened back then still follow you well into adulthood. Which is why you see a lot of people struggle with substance abuse - whether that be alcohol or drugs. They still hear and see things in their heads from the past that look like stuff from this movie.

[@CeeKayz0rz]

Kayak: Same, I grew up in a very peaceful house. Sure, there were verbal arguments, but nothing serious and no violence. I thank my lucky stars for that. Too many kids aren't nearly as lucky...

[@CeeKayz0rz]

@@NearonTC Very sorry to hear. Fortunately, the only domestic abuser I've ever come across was in my old Army unit, and even more fortunately, his Platoon stomped his fucking guts out when they found out why the local PD hauled him off the parade field that morning. Literally, they hospitalized the kid. Better yet, the day he's released from the hospital, the unit initiated dishonorable discharge proceedings on him.

[@crookedman5896]

sad thing is for me, when i saw the movie at a young age, i remember thinking wow, this is like my life, why are they making movies like this... i remember the house parties and i seen fights, i seen police on a weekly basis.... but it was just a phase... im glad my parents walked away from that and luckily none of us were abused, we just seen the violence

[@donatella094]

I've known about OWW for a few years now and, as a survivor of DV, it took til today for me to gather the courage to watch it for the first time. My fears about the movie were justified; Jake was the embodiment of my father, mother, step-father, and latest ex (a testament to Tem's acting skill). I now have Speed 2 playing in the background to help me seperate "Jake" from the awesome that is Tem. It took me 10 years to escape the brutality and violence, that was my family home (and family), + 3 attempts to escape my last ex. The fear and isolation is real; too often you're faced with destitution and homelessness if you leave. I'm glad I'm out, as I'm now back in uni and studying a degree I've always wanted to do xo Thank you Temuera and those who put this awareness vid together. The world needs more folk like yourselves xo

About the young men glorifying Jake, remember they grew up around violence too, they admire the fact that he is strong enough not to get beaten. That's the guy they want to be, they are tired of getting beatings, and so Jake represents ''strength'' to them not ''abuse''. Without the last scene, where Jake uses his strength for ?good?, it would not be the same, that is what they admire, the strength to defeat the abuser.
