Guest CzarnaWisnia Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I think the video is amazing (except for the confusing editing and the grunts). It's very lively and energetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloane Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I love the spotlight at the beginning then it opens and she flicks her shoulder. The whole first half choreography is wonderful. So is the whole second half. Too many cutaway shots of the minotaur and the sound f/x are probably a bit too much. Again, it could be bc I'm watching the premiere in low quality (WHY IS THAT BTW???!!) The minotaur dancing gets better as the video goes on and I don't mind the cutaways as much. The whole "Criminaldonna" part and her dancing on the platform is LIFE. Getting lessor pop princess lessor vibes when she gets into the leotard but SHE DOES IT SO MUCH BETTER so it's not a problem at all. LOVE IT IN FACT. Still no gun fingers that I can see but there is a cringe moment .. the sucking of the thumb. lol why? Not sure how bullfighting plays into LFL either or why on earth she brought this theme back but it's wonderful updated and the colors of the video are gorgeous. GLAD THERE'S NO CHOIR.

Mmmmm Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I love this comment from UK Mix: "Don't usually like this kind of music, I'm more into urban/r&b/hip-hop, but I really enjoyed LFL, and the vid is AWESOME! Hope they don't take too long and upload it to VEVO ASAP!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CzarnaWisnia Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 She's a business woman, not a business woman, what does that mean btw? I never get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frzndrwnwrld Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 and how is this video REDUCTIVE? you cannot even use this adjective in the right context. Doesn't reductive mean doing something already done but in lesser quality? Well, the video contains specific things she's done before. Whether it's of lesser quality is subjective. It's a valid option if you think she did these things better in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloane Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 what does that mean btw? I never get it. As in "she's a business" and she's emphasizing this to a woman. She's not a "business woman." She is THE BUSINESS. She's the empire, not just one person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frzndrwnwrld Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Still no gun fingers that I can see but there is a cringe moment .. the sucking of the thumb. lol why? It reminds me of the breast feeding scene with the doll in GMAYL. I don't think it's cringe-inducting. It's just Madonna being silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apples388 Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Not sure how bullfighting plays into LFL either or why on earth she brought this theme back It's very obvious isn't it. Love is a battlefield. All those minotaurs represent apparitions or illusions of love (e.g. Guy, Sean, Carlos, Brahim, Jesus etc.) but in the end she is not defeated and her faith in love remains intact.

Apples388 Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 And some idiots here thinking she's copying herself just don't get it. She's completely turned the whole matador thing upside down and has given it a fresh meaning. "Take a Bow" is completely different. Ugh. In fact, "Living for Love" song and video are both the complete polar anti-"Take a Bow", and in a sense the perfect companion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Jan Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I don't think it is remotely reductive. The whole "bullfighting" that people are talking about from Take a Bow and You'll see is completely different from this in every way. It is her interpretation of a dance and the bull is now a man and is done brilliantly. She is the star and centre-stage and not sharing a romantic story like in the other videos. I love it.

I thought the exact same! However, I really love how ambiguous the video is in terms of interpration due to its simplicity. And some idiots here thinking she's copying herself just don't get it.
