Eminem video with Rhianna called, "Love the Way you Lie."
4:27
A very intense video that depicts a young couple in crazy passionate love who are abusive towards each other. Abusive in a way that could quite possibly lead to death. In the depiction it glorifies and makes sexy the intimacy after brutal fighting and hitting. It portrays a woman who loves a man no matter how horrible he treats her. She keeps coming back. It brings up the questions of violence and censorship.
Chapter 6 Censorship, Chapter 2 Violence
Question: Should censorship or some other type of guidelines that glorify abuse of women be changed?
My answer: Yes. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE this song and I love the video, but I am a 45-year-old woman who understands the behavior in the video is wrong and not glamorous. I can't say the same for a teenager or young woman who feels so overwhelmed by the passion and love in that type of relationship. It would almost make her situation okay. If a celebrity glamorizes it, then it must be acceptable behavior.
