Perhaps the balloons are a symbol of Madonna's character holding on to the past and needing to learn to let go and move forward? by Anonymous It's interesting, but to me with all those cameos in there (of people I admittedly don't know very well), it is Debi Mazar who stands out. I always thought the club scene looked like people at a 70s fancy dress night rather than it being meant to be IN the 70s, but I read that most people think it's all meant to be set at the same time, so what do I know? I was also under the impression that those scenes in the video with them and the pillow fight, the strip show and the ceremony are all meant to be flashbacks, and the main scenes are Madonna going back to the club to find her old friends and relieve memories. What is clear to me is that it is full of Warhol references, and as I don't really know anything about him, I guess that's why I'm confused. I've been trying to read others' impressions of the video online, but no one really seems to have a definite view of what it's all about. It really stands out on Erotica as being probably the closest to what her audience would've expected at the time, the rest of the album being much more underground sounding. It really is a great pop song, I would say one of her finest too. And is that Sophia Coppola that she kisses when she gets to the club?Īnyway, is there more to this video, do you think? I feel like because it's kinda before my time that I'm missing some of the significance, but perhaps it's just because it's shot in an arty way? by Anonymous Looking up info, it says that her manager Guy Oseary is the guy she high fives with in the club. Am I being naive? And what is the devil stuff all about?ĭo the many cameos in the video mean anything either, or do you think that was just for fun? I know who Udo Kier and Debi Mazar are. It's like all this sex and partying stuff is meant to be fun, but it's so cold at the same time it makes me feel it's like it can't escape the spectre of the AIDS epidemic at the same time or something. ![]() Or is she just showing a kind of "you can't go back again" type storyline? Madonna is happy in the 70s with all her friends, then comes back in the 90s and it's not the same? The whole thing feels quite ominous though, like a lot of her stuff from that album and time. I looked up a bit about the video, but didn't get if there was a deeper (no pun intended) meaning or not. What do the balloons symbolise? Why does she freak out when that man at the bar starts popping them? Why does Udo Kier cut them at the end of the video? This is probably a very ignorant post, but I was just watching Madonna's "Deeper and Deeper" video and I feel like there is a message or a meaning in it that perhaps I'm not getting? Unless it's just being arty for the sake of being arty? ![]()
