boy skeffington Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Do you guys think they put the quote at the end because of the complaints about the bullfighting stuff? Just as a guide point to people to watch the video in a certain way and not be mislead with nonsense? Just something that came up to mi mind... The quote is the inspiration for the video and the album probably and portraying a bullfighter is how she created the canvas from the quote.Are people that dense. The quote is the inspiration for all of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moka Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 It's funny how some fans criticized M for years because she used collabs with young singers as lead singles, and now that she's doing a lead single alone, there's nobody to praise her for that... No, now they criticize her because of her hair or outfit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnian Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 No, it's not. That's what she did for MDNA. The videos, pictures, and music were like a best of all her iconic moments. Some felt that the whole project didn't have a theme, but I saw it has a retrospective. Whether or not that was intentional is up for debate. My issue with the Living For Love video is that it seems odd to do the retrospective thing again. You are being way too critical. To quote the new film Mr. Turner: "there is no place for cynicism in art." If you can't appreciate the layered and highly choreographed video we were just gifted then you need to re-see it. You just don't get it yet It's a beauty and the imagery is incredible. Madonna has never once made a video like this, nor danced with minotaurs, or done anything that's like this. To see this video and only focus on minor connections to Take a Bow, or one "similar" hair style to S&S is just being obtuse. Please learn to enjoy when Madonna is doing great art.

Camacho Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I don't know how a minority of fans can watch this rich video and all they can respond with are vapid, clueless comments! These rigid fans either want her to reinvent the wheel in every aspect or are very stuck in the past holding a vigil for Ray of Light 2.0. It's time they let go or move on to somebody else already! Stop tormenting yourselves or go join the 3 sexually frustrated people posting on theotherbore. I just watched the video again and loved it more noticing things I didn't the first time. I can't wait till we get a HQ upload on youtube to enjoy even more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frzndrwnwrld Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I'd rather see Madonna referencing her work then some pop tart doing it and not giving Madonna any credit! I agree with that! I see Madonna references in a lot of things these pop bitches do, yet they act like they created it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rachelle of London Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 You know what when I first heard LFL I was thinking that the video was gonna have a choir and people singing that they are living for love and it dare I say be "cheesy" However trust Queen Ciccone to spin this and turn it into a fuckin work of art. Like the fact that 33 years into her career she still has the artistic vision to do a video like this and execute it brilliantly. My god I just love this woman! Like I'm sorry I'm a Beyoncé fan but I couldn't see Beowulf do this. I couldn't see Gutga do this. I couldn't see Rihyawna do this. We are the luckiest fanbase ever! 56 years old and still slaying yes I said slaying the rest. I'm in awe. I swear to god she's not human. Queen.

nimos Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 The video has a lot of Madonna references: Papa Don't Preach strut La Isla Bonita/You Can Dance/Mitsibushi ad Take A Bow video Lo Que Siente La Mujer (Drowned World) Sky Fits Heaven (Drowned World) Vogue corset (re-Invention) Get Together (Confessions Tour) Sticky & Sweet hair I think it's also reminiscent of La Isla Bonita on the Girlie Show tour, in terms of her movements and posture.

No, now they criticize her because of her hair or outfit I'm REALLY HAPPY to not have a collaboration as a first single again. It's like the good ol' days........ 2005. Nothing new?

Flip The Switch Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I really REALLY don't see this madonna video as a retrospective look on her career at all. They May be elements from it, but the concept is unlike ANYTHING she's done I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikki Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 huh? aside maybe from the papa don't preach walk and the beasts in MDNA nothing in this video is like anything she's done before i mean yeah there's curtains like Girlie Show but.. if this would have pics of her older stuff or a collage video, then i'd be worried! but this is very fresh and new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensch Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Exactly !!! ^^^ I do see the reinvention tour corset but so what!!! It looks glorious!! WOW at the video. I can't! Time to make some tea, smoke some pot and watch on repeat!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattress Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 The video is fresh! It's just part of the fun of being a fan... seeing glimmers of her past works within the new. I actually gasped out loud when she started doing the little strut around the circle because it was so PDP. I sincerely doubt it even occurred to her it while filming.

ULIZOS Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I've never really cared for the album version of LFL. I don't dislike it, I just prefer the demo version. But I must say, it REALLY works in the video with all the sound effects. It goes very well with all the powerful imagery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
