XXL Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 David Fincher, Christopher Walken and Madonna ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://vimeo.com/43500430
Andra Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 How I love this video, it's like watching my favorite movie every once in a while and never getting tired of it. Louise Oriole is EVERYTHANG. And Christopher Walken
karbatal Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 And she looks so beautiful and at the same time tired in the video. Whenever i look at the video i imagine Madonna herself going through very simmilar emotions back then.
Jazzy Jan Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 I think this is my favourite Madonna video or at least my equal favourite. Louise Oriole is mysterious, beautiful, sad, lonely and lovely. Madonna looks like a Goddess in this video. The hair, the clothes and the general way she carries herself throughout the video clip. I also love Christopher Walken as her weary guardian Angel.
Mozo1 Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Said this in another thread, but this video made me want to get drunk, smoke cigs and fuck random guys in my fabulous apartment after a long day dressed like a boss at my awesome job. Totally took away the wrong message.
karbatal Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 ^indeed Unless you want to end up strangled with your own stockings!
Andra Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 The part where her guardian angel tears up because he knows she's about to die gets me every time Said this in another thread, but this video made me want to get drunk, smoke cigs and fuck random guys in my fabulous apartment after a long day dressed like a boss at my awesome job. Amen sista!
Bill Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 I feel like a bit of a flop fan but who is Louise Oriole? I could write a book with the knowledge I've developed over the last 25 years but I've drawn a blank here. Wasn't this also the name of her first Hollywood Hills home? The name of her character in the Bad Girl video. It's on the sign on her office door.
Sjewell88 Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 OMG. This is probably my favorite video of hers ever. It is ART. Atmospheric, beautiful, sad, but with a clear message behind it that exemplifies and extends the themes in the lyrics. Oh father, vogue, Bedtime Story, express yourself, all classic video. But this one blows me away!
Messiahxxx Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 One of her best videos of all time without a doubt! I love the part when the music stops and Christopher kisses M.
flexy Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 For me this song/ video exemplifies M's bridge from narcissist to humanist. A beautiful piece of work which has been vastly underrated.
MerGirl Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 I love this video so much, and her look in it is everything
danMfan Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Bad Girl is everything! The song, the single cover, the video, the live. Love it so much! A live performance in a tour is a dream for me.
Jazzy Jan Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 We used to have a great member who posted here called Louise Oriole. Hoping that a lot of the passionate members who don't post now will return for the new era. I wonder who thought up the name of Louis Oriole for the video and I love that a Madonna character for a video clip has an actual name.
martemahoney Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 This was by far my favourite video of hers, it's like a movie and everything about it was perfect. I remember when I first saw it, not only did I love the song, but the video made it so much better. It was a disappointment that it didn't chart higher, but at the time she was really facing a backlash, I remember a lot of people were really put off by the Sex book (not me though).
Mozo1 Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 The part where her guardian angel tears up because he knows she's about to die gets me every time Amen sista! Hallelujah! Love this video. Fincher and M. were a great pair.
qans1990 Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 The name of her character in the Bad Girl video. It's on the sign on her office door. I read somewhere it's also the name she used to use to check into hotel rooms when she was married to Sean Penn. It was formed from her middle name and the street they used to live on (Oriole St or Ave)
jacket Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 For me this song/ video exemplifies M's bridge from narcissist to humanist. A beautiful piece of work which has been vastly underrated. Intriguing, I'm interested to hear you expand on this!
Guest Ivy Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 We used to have a great member who posted here called Louise Oriole. Hoping that a lot of the passionate members who don't post now will return for the new era. I wonder who thought up the name of Louis Oriole for the video and I love that a Madonna character for a video clip has an actual name. Oriole is also a type of bird, which makes a lot of sense in regards to the semantics of the bad girl video clip: caged and freedom
qans1990 Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 I'm pretty sure one of her homes was on Oriole Way in Los Angeles. Christopher used to refer to one of her homes as the 'Oriole Way home' in his book. Yes, that's it! I wish I could remember where I read it... I think it was some old interview I'd come across, but don't remember where or when it was from
Raider of the lost Ark Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Oriole is also a type of bird, which makes a lot of sense in regards to the semantics of the bad girl video clip: caged and freedom And the Oriole Way is in the so called bird streets in the Hollywood Hills. All the streets in this neighbourhood are named after birds.

idro Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 That painting left on the floor behind her ..wonderfull fake mistake or just a metaphor of The Angel fall (Lucifero)..
Jazzy Jan Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Oriole is also a type of bird, which makes a lot of sense in regards to the semantics of the bad girl video clip: caged and freedom Thanks Ivy, I had never heard of an Oriole before, well apart from Madonna as Louise Oriole in Bad Girl.
