I am a young Maori man who grew up in Auckland New Zealand for most of my childhood life I was surrounded by Domestic Violence, but back then it was so common it was hard to recognise, a hiding is just a hiding, you get them when you're bad, you get them when you've ticked off Mom or Dad, sometimes you get beatings that were pretty bad.
This movie allows the Maori community especially those who grew up or are still in an environment of Domestic Violence to reflect on their situation. It allows all the "Jake the Musses" out there to look at themselves through Temuera Morrison's portrayal of this character and to ask themselves; "am I really this bad?, I know I can loose my temper now and then but surely I'm not like this monster..or am I?" For me this movie was a story that needed to be told, so our people could see ourselves in this horrible way so that we may understand the affect our behaviour has on one another.
Don't get me wrong I don't like this film because of its dark nature and violence, but I rate it so high because the good quality acting and directing have portrayed so many undeniable truths so accurately.

The Story line for this game is very jerky where it appears the game writers have tried to find ways to justify how a character appears in certain areas of the world map in Tales of the Soul. That being said, this is the only gripe I have about the game.
The beginning FMV is spectacular with breath taking sceneries and interesting new devices such as the ability to create and design your own character and their own Martial Arts discipline. There's even a second story mode which makes up for the awkward Story design of Tale of the Souls.
Parts of the FMVs during Tale of the Souls is also interactive where you can decide the fate of your Character to a certain degree which is an interesting feature.
With the many combinations of Characters you can create, the varied paths you can explore in Tales of the Souls and the Chronicle of Swords story mode, this game will keep any Beatem up/RPG fans amused for a while!
