Look at any episode of any cop show filmed during the last 25 years and you'll easily find more car crashes and human assault, containing far less artful context, than director Guy Ritchie (Madonna's husband) injects here. Madonna plays something of a femme fatale Robin Hood, who removes a blank-faced elderly woman from a nursing home and, with the old lady sitting shotgun, races around town in a yellow vintage Camaro wreaking havoc on unsuspecting males. She crashes into a car containing leering young men, stun-guns a fat-cat fellow at an ATM, gives his cash to a waitress at a drive-in, and steals another hot rod after she's banged up her own. While enjoying a milkshake with her octogenarian partner-in- crime, she pulls out a pistol and aims it at the heads of two stupefied-looking policemen (but she doesn't spray them with bullets--the weapon is a squirt gun). The Thelma & Louise-themed video hints that the entire scenario is imagined by the old woman, who fantasizes vengeance for a lifetime of indignities suffered. Satisfying, yes. Outrageous, hardly. --Beth Massa Description: Just about the only place you can see Madonna's controversial video is on this special DVD Single. Directed by acclaimed film director Guy Ritchie (also, perhaps you've heard, Madonna's husband), the video was cut to the song's "Above and Beyond" mix, available only on this DVD Single. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not M's worst, not her bestI really was confused watching the video, mainly because the original version should have been used instead of the Above & Beyond 12" Club Mix (although, the song on its own is amazing) because the lyrics and imagery would fit. Otherwise, superb directing by Guy Ritchie. Oh, and to all the mega-conservatives: big deal. This video is not saying "women should drive into a pole", but just stating the issue of female suppression. Obviously, if the original of the song would have been used ... Read More Rating:  - This Is A Great Video Madonna Shows Us Again Female Power!What It Feels Like For A Girl is from Madonna's Music CD. It is the 3rd single of off her album. It was directed by her husband Guy Ritchie. It was banned on MTV and VH1 due to violence. I really don't understand why I have seen worse videos depicting violence. This is her 3rd banned video. The video starts off with Madonna putting her clothes in a suitcase and then getting into her yellow sports car and going to an old convelescant home to pick up her grandmother. Day turns to night and she is driving ... Read More Rating:  - 30 Bucks For A Video????OK, I've seen it and the mixes. Whoopee. Video of rude vulgar chick taking old woman from home and running off a cliff. There, you've seen it. I cannot believe this is so expensive for ONE SONG! The older she gets the less anyone respects her, for making millions in such a cheap ripoff way. Oh, and the DVD froze up once. Rating:  - what the hellWhat the hell was she trying to do in the music video. I know she wanted it banned so there will be more of a demand leading to profits but the video is stupid. Even in back in 2001, she had daughther Lourdes and in the video she's doing ultra violent stuff and being all suicidal and gangsta. Give me a break. What a f***kin poser. I have all Madonna songs and remixes but i'm really getting tired of fake wanna be posers like her. Rating: - Telling of American SocietyNot surprising that a video about crashing down female stereotypes and breaking out of society's mold was banned on MTV. I think it makes Madonna's point that much more clear: Stop the double standards and mistreatment of women. The video is great. Watch it. Think about the videos YOU see on MTV- Jay-Z being shot for 30 seconds, men crashing cars and objectifying women: and you decide what needs editing in our society. |
