Patrick Stewart in animated film for Amnesty

[RyanSellman1]

Patrick Stewart did a great job. It reminds me of the scene in Star Trek - First Contact, when Picard yelled out "NO! NOOOOOO!", and then swung the phaser rifle at the case of golden starships.

[LordShadrach]

Why are they all men? Women aren't capable of domestic violence?

[SavageBezerkEclipse]

@LordShadrach Double Standards..sadly..But Men are more likely not to report being hit by a female. Therefore it seems like men do it only

[ZeZombieKiller]

that's right the Proff. is MAD

[fenric71]

god that was so f**ing scary......and very true..... unfortunately

[RedEyesBlackKnight]

I'm scared now

[sondano]

Don't you tell me what to do is just what he told Riker in the episode Sarek. And with that he shut him up in a New York minute :)

[Aettaro]

This is terrifyingly potent. Patrick Stewart is amazing at invocation, even with just his hands and voice alone.

[Trund27]

A voice as smooth as chocolate ice cream

- rich, decadent and deadly charming

[MadameApathy]

The really frightening thing here is how charming he is at the beginning and end.

[meleniumshane90]

1:36 WTF

"Jean Luc. Blow up the damn ship!"

"NO! NOOO!"

[neomp5]

only thing i don't like is how abuse is treated as a problem for women. it's a problem for everyone, and is not a simple matter of "beating". abuse is not about "women being beaten" it's about people's devotion being taken advantage of by selfish and manipulative people. most of the beating is psychological and self-inflicted.

[PenelopeVanDyke]

Love Isabella's voice.

[donkeyrash]

woman should have just kept her mouth shut and let the guy talk.

[Carboose957naptime]

THERE ARE 4 LIGHTS

But really we shouldn't be beating women

[topster88]

You can beat a woman 35 times before she calls the police? So what you're saying is I can do it 14 more times without any issues!

[PianoWizzy]

Patrick's voice makes me cringe, but it's perfect for the point here. Bravo.

[DiaMentor087]

This ad brings up a few good points. Most batterers start out as the sweetest, most charming men you'll meet. They don't show their "dark side" until they're pretty sure they have control of you & your life, and then act like it was a momentary lapse, which YOU caused by "making me crazy" and apologize profusely-even making you feel SORRY for their "inner-torment". Then it happens again, & again- and it gets MORE violent! You think if you're just "good enuf", he'll stop. It won't. LEAVE NOW!

[masere]

The Picard is angry.

Counsellor Troi senses the captain is angry and tells us despite the fact we know 'cos we can HEAR HIM lol

[masere]

Surely Stewart should've done the voice for Number One lol

And there was a TNG episode where he shouted to Riker "Don't you tell me what to do!"

Joanna Lumley and Patrick Stewart have the best voices in the world.

[fuqmeharder]

I am currently being abused by my husband, he degrades me, yells at me, and pushes me. I used to make excuses for him. After I watched this, I decided to not be a victim anymore. I called my mom, and in a couple weeks me and my daughter and flying home to her.

Thank you, AI, for letting me stop being a victim.

[JediPirateWitch]

@fuqmeharder Good on you! I hope that you are happier now.

[AirlockMinibus]

good message

[Czotie]

Patrick is not just a good actor, but has seen his fair share of Domestic Violence. As much as he would like to forget, he instead remembers and lets us know how disgusting and uncomfortable it is.

[nocoercion]

LOL this video is awesome

[Valkyrie7366]

addvoc8, you're all over the place on YT with your allegations of misantropy and women being more violent than men. Where do you have your statistics from? Which country? Do they also include sexual violence? Who do the most of abusing children sexually? Women? Who also rape women?

I'm not saying that women don't commit violence. But that doesn't excuse men from being violent! You should respect people who make a stand against violence and abuse, instead of seeing some anti-male campaign in it.

[addvoc8]

Domestic violence IS serious, for EVERYONE, not just women who actually experience the least of it next to children and men. I guess I don/'t like this guy as much as I used to think I did... He excuses the majority of domestic violence as well: Women can keep committing the majority of abuse with impunity - that's fine with Ol' Patty boy...

[mikethedevil10]

His voice is like butter. - Which is really quite scary when he's the bad guy.

[kathleendore]

powerful.

[TheAussie00]

I'm glad and proud that my Dad works to help men and women in domestic issues.

[englishfrenchgerman]

@TheAussie00 Go your Dad :D

[Jeorney]

The hate fist was more like agression. Aggression is not hate. It is never defined accurately for some reason.

[genericfirstname]

Powerful.

[RandomJayne]

That was kind of amazing.

[steamrolledboy]

"i am classically trained"

[elinas99]

Oh wow the last one reminds me of magabyte in reboot I love that kind of half controled gentleman.

[upsykimsy]

Amazingly scripted and directed video. Stewart's voice perfectly encaptures the mannerisms of a DV perpetrator, ffrom the Prince Charming greeting, to the interruptions. You didn't need to witness any real violence to get the message

[alSation81]

why does the title not credit Joanna Lumley?

[MissMofet]

@alSation81 she's in the credits

[hannahskm]

very powerful.. conceptually brilliant .. communicates a strong message

[TheLazy0ne]

excelent

[LukeChucky]

That would never happen on the USS Enterprise

[redtail]

On the Enterprise, violence is handled by Work and his want to fire EVERYTHING! After being told to by the good Captain of course.

[protoknight25]

okay. That was...chilling

[LGD3]

An excellent concept and a supreme performance by Stewart.

[Thanos82]

Very nice.

[Filmzie]

whats really scary is that his voice at the begining and the end is so fucking charming you can't help but want to make an excuse for him.

Which is great becuase thats the whole point of it. Very powerful. Very moving. Simple too.

[hazurd2s0ciety]

That was short, but really powerful... It was awesome

[robertdegiro]

not bad but i still think that real executions scenes torturing scenes etc are much more educational ,we need to see the real horror, to move us, despite of the disgusting reaction they could produce,sorry but there is nothing like the real thing

[ronprivat]

Posted 18 December 2006... and only 18 597 views - Where are our priorities?

Superb video, could it ever be misunderstood?

[advocatevsdv]

great

[Eldritchard]

its always number 23 eh?

[Etimos]

Ok, that was just awesome. Very well done.

[fountainkeeper]

Patsy and Picard... That'd be pretty wild to see.

[zerowildfire]

Doh! Just read the credits. Forget what i just said...lol

[zerowildfire]

That sound s like Joanna Lumley doing the VO....

[NanosecondFilms]

Patrick was demented!! haha

[mattlay]

that was good

[mofo269]

wow.

[gonstyle]

impacting!

[sakmet88]

impressive, most impresive, you ARE a true Jedi yet(free version of classic Darth Vader)

[watchman241]

However, exposure of this repulsive stuff is better, we should expose these animals for what they are and make the public more aware. Bravo.

[watchman241]

I think anyone who takes shit from a bullying bastard should sort it out. I know that alot of people find it difficult but thats because they dont have the motivation to do anything about it and sadly sometimes the women who get beaten by their men still love them and are willing to put up with it. I hate bullies and I would be a bully killer. Remeber bullies, theres more dark and sinster creatures out there who want your blood.

[PrinceAntonVoytek]

Man,Patrick is utterly devilish and yet smooth with this voiceover.

It makes your skin crawl.

[TheDrowWarrior1]

I gotta know something honestly, why do some people who have commented make jokes about domestic violence, i dont mean to sound nagging or anything but its just not funny especially if youve seen it happen to your friends or realitives

[Triprc]

I think people make jokes because it is horrific. I spent years around it and sometimes if I can't make light of it, it can just wear me out.

Is it right or wrong? Dunno.

[TheDrowWarrior1]

Morally its wrong, especially if you know what it is like being in a domestic violence situation. Some things are better left alone..well, thats the way i see it anyway.

[Triprc]

@TheDrowWarrior1

I wish it was that simple. Different people respond to trauma in different ways. I don't crack jokes just because domestic abuse is just so darn funny. I find levity because it seems like getting bummed out is just letting the abuser "win".

Everyone has a right to get heal and stop feeling like a victim. Some people will cry, some people will use dark humor, most will do both at one time or the other.

[shortyzan]

Trolls will say pretty much anything if it gets them a response.

[TheDrowWarrior1]

@TheDrowWarrior1 or if its happened to you...forgot to add that

[BIasphemer]

@TheDrowWarrior1 It is maybe in bad taste to joke about it _here_ I can understand that. But tell me you never laughed at jokes made about dead people, or people dying, or people being hurt... If you watch a Tom & Jerry short where Tom sits on a detonating lump of dynamite, that might not be funny to a guy that lost his legs working demolition or something, but to the rest of us it would be hilarious. That doesn't mean we're all assholes, it just means we have a sense of humor.

[topster88]

@TheDrowWarrior1 If you can't laugh about serious issues then you're likely a very depressed person

[myskyren]

@TheDrowWarrior1

as some others have said, I think dark humor isn't about making a mockery of the victims or laughing at their pain, so much as it is mocking the situation (i.e. recognizing that it's so fucked up it, that it would be funny if it weren't real)..

if you can excuse it, I'll liken it to a horror movie ... who would ever want to be there and live though that? the charm is that, within the context of the movie, it isn't real. same thing in the context of a joke

does that make sense?

[yamamato44]

P-Stew is deadly

[kacieatdenrodotca]

Patrick Stewart is my one and only god.

[novamist]

Wow! Very impactful!

[sevter]

Patrick Stewart's voice is so lovely here. Great video.

[awish4truth]

excellent, well done ,so true. First so smooth,polite then rage, anger, confusion

then apology that make's you feel like it was your fault. "WELL DONE"

[propertyofranger]

Very good. Very effective. I'm impressed. Mind you, with Patrick Stewart involved, how could one be disappointed?

[porat]

brilliant. totally original

[alizarin190123901239]

I always suspected he beat up Dr.Crusher

[TheDrowWarrior1]

Thats not funny at all, did u know his father would beat his mother? and when he was growing up stuff like that was hushed up?

[Eidlones]

very well done. wouldnt expect less from patrick stewart

[chukmaty]

wow... gets a message across and it "Hits" hard...

[txriss]

Why didn't this get shown during Law and Order SVU??? Perfect...frightening...but perfect.

[strudel87]

good movie, I like it
