Feck, I haven't answered the original question yet. The text left on the chair is Hebrew text meaning "freedom" or "escape" or some such crap. Had to look that up on the wiki as my hebrew is very rusty, but it makes sense in the context of the video. Hope you still like this vid after 4 months so you can get an answer, ffnrr.
I missed something in my last comment on the apparent escape from the chair. She ties electrical tape around her left hand and arm, which presumably keeps her from getting electrocuted to death. IRL, that wouldn't work against an electric chair as electric tape is designed only to insulate against curent one would find in the home, not the commercial power-grade current used in exection devices. Stupid as that is, I still like the song and the overall message.
Did yo know that every person who works in the IT department is a fag, or his name is SHEED....only squids are good at computers....good thing the rest of us have nothing to do with that stupid shit....
Wow I remeber when I watched this video for the first time. I thought it was the most violent video I had ever seen. I really don't remeber it was related to James Bond because at the end I could swear she laughed while she was escaping
it was one of the many names for God as written in the Kabbalah. Legend has it that each name of God in the Hebrew language has an empowering effect, gracing the bearer- strength of mind, presence of faith, the will to subdue the ego
I remember as a kid halle berry at the end of the movie, half naked and so sexy and then this music started, probably the first time i was ever horny lol
@pg86 ore the for anouther part of the world and the don t no wath good music is becauase if you say the are only from Nort Korea is a littele bit raciste
@MissShello you obviously don't get what I meant by that.....did u see the movie die another day...Bond was being tortured the whole part of when this song was being played.
The song is an allegory for the struggle against oneself. The protagonist refuses to surrender to her own self-doubt even in the face of impossible odds. Eventually, she vanquishes it, and even though external forces ultimately kill her, the agents of her destruction are left with no victory (4:09) because she never gave in to them or gave them the satisfaction of seeing her break. In the end, her spirit remains intact, hence the "escape" scene. Could be wrong, but that's my take.
I love when she put the Tefillin in 2:30 . Its jewish. boys put it in their mornings prayers. you put it on your left arm and head. it have in it phases from the holy bible.
This movie/song came out after I got shot, and was in rehab I use to workout and listen to Madonna's greatest hits. Watch the movie just to see the video over and over again. This is one of my theme songs that's for sure. I was/am glad to be a live to Die Another Day.
the past years when this came out ya thought it'd be commercial music ya know what I mean....but now it's 2011 and this is like a masterpiece...what a tregedy...still i think its the best song of madonna and the only one i really like
@blackprinsez LOL! that's not Arabic, it's Hebrew. Yes, it is very different. It says לאו which means "not", but it's not used much in the modern Hebrew. It was also tattood on her right arm.
Love this song. Very dark. Indicates maturity and willingness to perform things that are controversial and abstract. The mixture of synth and traditional instruments (i.e. violin) with minor keys and hard-driving, unusual beats reminds me of Bernard Herrmann and Jerry Goldsmith.
What's with the guy who shows up in three places? He is behind the 1 way mirror she smashes, painting a golden statue, and then he shows up in the electric chair. WHO IS HE?
@ranma763 Chances are she's the only one who could pull that out in a real life situation and still get away with it. Either by awe or shock or honest confusion everyone would stand still frozen long enough for her to run away.
SHE SAYS "Sigmund Freud" ( a name!) ... DO you even go/went to school ? He was an Austrian neurologist who founded the discipline of psychoanalysis and a famous psychologist!
@EvilchoBG Whose every theory was highly speculative since he didn't provide any evidence for them. Moreover, he was a vile and pervert sexaholic. But indeed everybody should know abot him.
i live in germany and they dont teach siegmund freud at the school so that have nothing to do with school. So if i hadnt informed myselfe trought the internet i wouldn´t know who siegmund freud is too.
@sergiorencio He was giving sensation to the lifeless statue because real women will not go out with him, makes sense because why in the world would you be in between two crazy girls
This Video Clip reminds me of what I think Gaga tries to capture with her raw physicality in her own choreography. When she sings "I'm going to avoid/the cliche" that leg lift is SO HAWT.
@IllidariBoss I think she's torturing herself mentally while other people torture her, just a guess. The two ppl fighting in her head are her dark and light side or something like that
anyone can explain me the message? :P don't get me wrong, i love this song lol :)) but.. i'm not good at getting the meaning of videos and stuff like that xD >.<
I love the music,love it...but to be honest the song is crap,shes singing 2lines the whole 4;30 min...gets really annoying...ive noticed lots of madonnas songs are made of a few sentences....jeeeez
