Music Video Analysis - Violence

Song Title: Love The Way You Lie
Artist: Eminem ft. Rihanna

My music video expresses a lot of violence in the lyrics and the video.
Some of the lyrics that express violence are;
"Just gunna stand there and watch me burn, But that’s alright because I like the way it hurts."

- "You swore you’d never hit ‘em. Never do nothing to hurt ‘em. Now you’re in each other’s face spewing venom"

-" You push pull each others hair. Scratch, claw, bit ‘em. Throw ‘em down. Pin ‘em"

-"Next time I’m pissed, I’ll aim my fist at the drywall."

-"If she ever tries to f****** leave again, I’m a tie her to the bed, and set the house on fire."
In the Video, The couples body language is mean and violent, she spits in his face, and he pushes her against a wall. Some violent actions they show are actually fighting physically against each other, he bottles a guy she's talking to, he punches a wall and breaks a mirror, and throws his girlfriend into a wall, also grabs her wrist to make her stay. Some self mutilation shown is in the beginning of the video when she has fire lite in her hands and at the end when the guy is lite on fire. The message of the song is that even though they fight and hate each other, that’s how they love each other. and This music is Rap.
