bad girls



just as much as super bowl to me is synonym for fanatic, passion, craze, patriotism, and over hype,
ironically it turned out that it best describes, represents america as a nation. 
again with the media driven craze, we are faced with controversy- m.i.a. flips bird during halftime show.
while super bowl controversy is becoming a bit of cliche, i thank the 'incident' as it brought my attention to the talented director name romain gavras- son of the oscar winning greek director constantin costa gavras.
romain is responsible for vision behind another m.i.a.'s controversial music video 'born free' which i cannot say is my cup of tea but couldn't help but to recognize the genius behind.

m.i.a.'s latest music video 'bad girls'- also directed by romain caught my attention with its eclectic flavor.
okay. forget controversy, propaganda, hidden messages, political side of things as i don't understand a thing about those matters.
i find this video fresh and gorgeous. it is- a candy coated visual pleasure.
cinematography, the fashion, beautifully brown skinned m.i.a. and her hair is good on the eyes. 
horse riding arab in desert is packed with emotion with its time and vibe different from of rest of the video.
make fun of me when i say i wanted to cry moment i encountered this beautifully crafted video but i'm still thankful to super bowl controversy.
