I stand by my verdict-
I LOVED THE VIDEO AND THE SONG!
I loved the photography, the concept, the pace, the lighting, angles...all of it- love, love, loved it! Leto's having a hard time getting it past the censor boards because as is to be expected it is not being allowed to air on TV. I think he should go for an internet release and a CD/DVD uncut, uncensored version. It is his artistic vision and I for one love it.
So Michaelangelo portrayed David as a nude? Is that pornographic too? And there are people who live the BDSM lifestyle. Is that wrong? Kink exists in our lives as do fetishes and sex and all the rest? Is sex bad. As an adult who has had sex and procreated and has a kid, I can state sex is a part of life. It is one of man's primal needs from my perspective. Is it the existence of sex that is offensive? Or the portrayal and photography of it through Leto's vision offensive? Or the fact that I am unashamed and unafraid to state that I liked the video offensive or the fact
that I chose to post it offensive? I am a little confused here- help me please.
I know I am going to get a ton of backlash for this post but what the heck-
I loved it. I thought it was a really sexy video- I love Jared Leto- I think he is a beautiful man. And really, I think sex is a natural thing- with consenting adults and all that sort of deal- To each his own taste in what they like-
Peace people.
And for the record-
The song could stand alone based on the lyrics themselves. I still love the video for what it is and the song for what it is... Art is art folks-
Here are the lyrics-
No matter how many times that you told me you wanted to leave.
No matter how many breaths that you took you still couldn't breathe.
No matter how many nights that you lied wide awake to the sound of the poison rain.
Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go?
Heart beat, a heart beat, I need a... heart beat, a heart beat...
Tell me would you kill to save for a life?
Tell me would you kill to prove you're right?
Crash, crash, burn let it all burn.
This hurricane is chasing us all underground.
No matter how many deaths that I die, I will never forget.
No matter how many lifes I live, I will never regret.
There's a fire inside this heart and a riot about to explode into flames.
Where is your God? Where is your God? Where is your God? ...
Do you really want?
Do you really want me?
Do you really want me dead?
Or alive to torture for my sins?
Do you really want?
[heart beat, a heart beat]
Do you really want me?
[I need a.. heart beat, a heart beat]
Do you really want me dead?
[you know I gotta leave, I can't stay,
I know I gotta go, I can't stay]
Or alive to live a lie?
Tell me would you kill to save for a life?
Tell me would you kill to prove you're right?
Crash, crash, burn let it all burn.

This hurricane's chasing us all underground.
You say you're wrong, you're wrong, I'm right, I'm right, you're wrong, we fight.
Ok, I'm running from the light, running from the day to night.
Oh, the quiet silence defines our misery.
The riot inside keeps trying to visit me.
No matter how we try, it's too much history.
Too many bad notes playing in our symphony.
So let it breathe, let it fly, let it go.
Let it fall, let it crash, burn slow.
And then you call upon God.
Oh you call upon God.
Tell me would you kill to save for a life?
Tell me would you kill to prove you're right?
Crash, crash, burn let it all burn.
This hurricane chasing us all underground.
This hurricane...(x5)
Do you really want?
Do you really want me?
Do you really want me dead?
Or alive to torture for my sins?
Do you really want?
Do you really want me?
Do you really want me dead?
Or alive to live a lie.
Running away from the night, running away from the light.
Running away to save your life.
LOVED IT! An artist has written a brilliant song and taken the most controversial subject to make his point- sex!
Sex is natural and we all have our fetishes and kink. We may be ashamed and choose to hide away or be blatant in our pursuit. In the end, who is to say what is right and wrong or who is? That is the concept of the video I think- "tell me would you kill to prove you're right?"
"who's wrong? who's right?"
from fighting lovers to fighting religions to fighting nations? That is the hurricane- the war- over who is right and who is wrong? Who really ever knows?

Shahnaz! 'A' for the honesty!
The video is very refreshing! Love the camera work, colors and the creative shots!
I hope they do get the clearance from the censor board.
As far as the openness of sex debate is concerned. I don't understand what the fuss is about. It's an illogical argument that you can't be open about appreciating it! every adult likes or needs sex!
Being open about it is a choice that anyone can make without being judged!
Let's not be hypocrites! ...for a change
Shahnaz, you are not getting any backlash or any lashes for that matter.
I have a choice between reading Catherine Mackinnon's chapter Does Sexuality Have a History from Women's Lives, Men's Laws, or arguing with you over some pop video out there to make money and publicity, and I obviously choose the route of seeking knowledge.
Hmm.. lemme see..
U asked quite a few questions out there... obviously questions are meant to have answers.. but if they are answered contrary to ur expected answers then should the answerer be regarded as being judgmental?
(I know thats a very circular kinda question: whts the exact term for that, i don't remember.)
The thing is, I m too scared to say anything abt what u write, though most of the times, i have a lot to say/write. Thats b'cz u usually snap back very sharply at things to disapprove of (e.g. the so called "e-spellings" in this comment :P). and its not something to do with u, its something to do with the idol of my perception which might break down in such a backlash.
but as someone else noted
A+ for being honest.. :)
