Controversial
Music Video “Madonna – ‘Like A Prayer’
This music video shows Madonna witnessing
a murder of a girl by white supremacists. However, a black man is arrested for
the murder and Madonna hides in a church for safety trying to encourage herself
to go forth as a witness.
The music video is also controversial as
it shows an African American Jesus and shows footage of Madonna standing in
front of burning crosses. The Pope at the time, Pope John Paul II encouraged
fans to boycott the singer in Italy as a way to show Madonna that showing anti-Christian
images are offensive and are not correct, according to Christians and the
Catholic church.
Music
Video From The Last Two Years - Radiohead: “Burn the Witch
The music video itself is in a similar
style to a popular British cartoon television series in a fictional village
called Trumptonshire. The music video shows the place to be a normal English
village however as the video progresses, it starts to show darker images such
as blood, a noose and somebody about to be burnt alive. Radiohead used this
video to comment on the consequences of the growing nationalist panic across
the world.
