We Found Love is by far my favourite music video of this year and of Rihanna's. The video shows the whole concept of love, how love is everything and is all great in the first few days/months and how it changes to something strange and hopeless later on in the relationship. This video begins with a monologue about love and heartbreak by an unseen narrator who is the famous model Agyness Deyn. This video starts off with the happy side of a relationship, it shows Rihanna and her boyfriend having fun whilst going on rides in a fairground and having food at a fast food restaurant, then turns to them engaging sexual intercourse. The chorus shows images of drugs, various pills and dilated pupils. The video continues with both of them having fun and enjoying themselves at an outside rave. As the second half of the song goes on you see the relationship starting to go down as we see them arguing in a car, the video then progressively shows the couple experiencing difficulties in their relationship, in which starts to show them abusing eachother. As the video comes to an end we see Rihanna at her worst where she is puking on the street and passed out on the street, at the end she eventually leaves her boyfriend who is passed out on the floor and we see her in the corner of the room crying.
I like the video as it conveys a different side to a relationship, it shows a girl wanting to do whatever to stay in her boyfriends 'good books' this, meaning getting drunk and taking drugs and eventually becoming someone she isn't and abusing one another. But eventually she has enough and leaves, in reality girls have enough but still can't get away from their abusive relationship.
