Today, Eminem and Rihanna premiered the music video for their #1 smash "Love The Way You Lie".
The video depicts an abusive relationship between characters portrayed by Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan. The scenes switch between physically abuse to rabid passion, with cuts to Rihanna in front of a burning house and Eminem in a cornfield. The two megastars come together in front of the burning house at the end as the man in the relationship is also consumed in flames.
The video is a simple, yet effective depiction of domestic violence and volatile love. I was expecting a bit more, and I feel like some scenes were left on the cutting room floor. but kudos to Eminem for not being afraid to take the bull by the horns and deciding to confront abuse head-on. I think this video actually may help young people diagnose their own relationships and escape them if they are troublesome.
What do you think of the video?
