Product 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.

Amazon.com

The outrage surrounding the violent content in Madonna's video for "What It Feels Like for a Girl" is a bit of a controversy itself. 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

4.0 out of 5 starsWhat It Feels Like To Be Banned
By Dogville on April 28, 2001
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Well, part of the Madonna legacy is her ability to combine her music with stellar and breathtaking videos. No exception to this latest controversy...
The reason why this video is banned is not fathomable. We have seen much more violence and sex on MTV, so cut the crap. The video is like a little Guy Ritchie crime craper. Who says a car thief can't be a woman? Who says a woman can't squirt water onto policemen's face? Madonna says you can...and if you look beyond the so-called violence in the video, you'll find the subtle message of the very superior original. The heart-thumping club remix that this DVD is cut to just serves to hype up the action.
It is a splendid work of visual, just one complain: there's only one video track here. Why not add another remix video or even have a version cut to the original song...I always thought the origianl version would turn out a great video too....

3.0 out of 5 starsInteresting Ripoff of Baise Moi
By A Customer on October 24, 2002
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Madonna isn't so much a pop singer as a pop stylist; she shrewdly adopts and then discards new personae in the manner of David Bowie in the 70s to keep abreast of the times. Now she's Marlene Dietrich, now she's the Material Girl, and now she's what critic Carol Clover would refer to as "the final girl," an avenging feminist angel who seeks to overthrow the patriarchy with a succession of random acts of violence. But Madonna and her husband, Guy Ritchie, who directed the video, are really ripping off the film BAISE MOI, unavailable in the US except in a drastically censored version. That said, the mix on the DVD is the "trance" version of the song, and is well executed; and the visuals are relatively compelling...This is a pale and commercial imitation of the source material...

4.0 out of 5 starsBottom line: voyeuristic anger
By stephanie on August 29, 2001
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
* rapid-fire editing
* great on a dvd to watch each cut in slow-mo
* multiple clever visual puns
* visuals carry the burden of conveying song's message with ease
* new remix allows viewer to pay more attention to visuals
* nice acting by madonna
* the violence in this short is meant as a visual symbol of 'what it feels like for a girl' (in this world)
* it's a metaphor for a manifesto of feminine independence and ownership of feelings and power
* resist the urge to lable it as simply violent and nothing else

5.0 out of 5 starsThis Is A Great Video Madonna Shows Us Again Female Power!
By Reka Kovacs on February 28, 2007
Format: DVD
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 around town with her grandmother. A group of guys in a car are checking her out, she winks at them and then she turns around and hits them with full force. She then sees a guy at a ATM machine and uses a stun gun to stun him to steal his money. The way she walks to the machine and puts the stun gun up high up in her arm and getting ready to stun this guy is just great! How she stuns the guy is actually not shown. You just see the guy lieing there passed out. She shoves the money in a waitresses' pocket to help her out. She innocently sips something to drink and drives by 2 cops who are looking at her and points a gun at them and it turns out to be a water pistol which she aims at them and squirts water onto both of their faces. They go after her. She then sees guys playing hockey on the streets and tries to run them over. The music stops for a second and we hear a great sound before she sees another guy in a red car getting gas. She ends up stealing the car and they drive around again during this there are flashbacks of Madonna getting ready before getting into her yellow car in the beginning. She goes through all of her drivers licenses which actually shows her in many different pictures throughout her career.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsViolent Femme
By Jerrod Maruyama on April 24, 2001
Format: DVD
Few would argue that Madonna is a pioneering force in the world of the music video. Countless times in her spectacular career she has re-defined the video format. Like she herself has said before, each video is like a little movie, vignettes that have truly defined Madonna as artist. Even her most successful film role to date (Evita) was nothing more than an extended music video. So, along comes "What It Feels Like For A Girl" the video. Not since 1990's "Justify My Love" has Madonna recieved such controversy over a video. Then, it seemed outrageous that MTV would ban such a high profile video from an artist that helped create and define the channel. MTV took a similar but less controversial stance with 1992's "Erotica" video, showing the clip only after midnight with a spoken warning/introduction. Now in the age of Eminem and Columbine MTV's ban of this kind-of-violent clip seems less a precaution and more a promotion. Madonna has said that this is an angry song with an angry video to match. Most reviews of the album cited "WIFLFAG" as a standout track, calling it Madonna's heart-felt advice to the likes of Britney and Christina. The anger seemes to have gone unnoticed. The video, set to a dance remix of the original song, depicts Madonna as a girl on a rampage. It's an over the top revenge fantasy with the material mom in full diva mode. While the clip, like most Madonna videos, deals with role reversals and a shifting concept of sexual identity, her tongue seems less planted in her cheek. Gone is the irony of "Express Yourself" and "Music". Gone is the bitter-sweet romanticism of "Bad Girl" and "Take A Bow".Read more ›
