About this sound

Clip of Jake Heke saying fucking beautiful in Once Were Warriors, used as a raw reaction sound for moments that look unexpectedly perfect or impressive.

This is Jake Heke delivering the line fucking beautiful with gruff, dead serious intensity from the New Zealand drama Once Were Warriors. The delivery is short and heavy, with Temuera Morrison's deep voice making a simple compliment sound like a verdict. There is no build up, just the phrase landing flat and hard, which is why it works as a reaction. Viewers hear both genuine admiration and menace in it, so the clip fits moments that are impressive, beautiful, or a little too perfect to be safe.

Pro tip

Drop it right on the reveal, not during the build up. Let Jake Heke's line land on a clean cut to the finished dish, car or view, and hold a beat of silence after it so the gruff delivery does all the work.

How people use it
