Talk:We Found Love (music video)

Audio sample
Is there any way of putting it into the info box? Calvin  &bull; Talk That Talk 22:43, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
 * It is a film infobox, so a song sample wouldn't be included in it. xD — Status  &#x7B;talk contribs  22:47, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Dayum. I wanted to add a double image to the Critical reception section with two pictures of the directors of the films mentioned, but the audio sample is there. Calvin  &bull; Talk That Talk  22:48, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

OMG, look at this. Do you think a Popular culture section could be made? I didn't realise how many references their were in the video to film and music. Calvin  &bull; Talk That Talk 22:53, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, as I said in the edit summary, it can be removed to a different section. Ooh, yes; a lot of info in that link could be used. :) This article is really coming along very well. — Status  &#x7B;talk contribs  22:55, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I think that there could be a "References to popular culture" with the sub sections of "Music" and "Film". Calvin  &bull; Talk That Talk  22:58, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Marijuana exhalations?
I thought it was pretty clear that it was cigarette smoke being blown (in Rihanna and Dudley's mouths from one another), not marijuana. I just re-watched the video and I see smoke being blown after several cigarettes are lit, not a marijuana joint or blunt. Please explain?-- miko mango  mwa!  20:07, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Critical sources say Marijuana. Calvin  &bull; Talk That Talk  23:14, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * That's bizarre, given that he's clearly holding regular cigarettes. Oh well!!!-- miko mango  mwa!  05:27, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes. It's clearly somewhere in the range of a whole pack of cigarettes being lit at once and smoked. That whole section which repeatedly uses the same reference (18) pointing out similarities contains a lot of real stretches. If one "critical source" makes an extreme stretch or a comment that is clearly wrong, it does not have to be included... it should not be included. That whole section makes tendentious connections, and misses the most apt ones. Take for example the music video for Try, Try, Try ( NOTE: Vevo even tones it down by removing the bloody miscarriage) by the Smashing Pumpkins, which was, on the whole, almost exactly the same concept of a loving couple with many of the same plot points (opening voice over, the couple robbing a convenience store, etc.), much more so than the other videos and films referenced, and, to boot, suffered from the same type of controversy much more strongly (because it was a much harsher treatment of the exact same subject, shooting of heroin, much more disturbing and traumatic hallucinations, use during pregnancy, etc.) and barely got aired because of it. But, since the journalist making comparisons was rather myopic, and instead of making meaningful comparisons, made simple pop references (like comparing it to Natural Born Killers because of projected imagery? Wow, that's deep), it would be WP:OR to add more substantial comparisons.  Regardless, we should be able to remove obvious mistakes, like the cigarettes.

 * Just checked the source. It does not say marijuana. It just makes the comparison to a movie in which it is being done with marijuana.

 * This article makes the connections seem much more definitive as direct references. This is misleading. The original article, for many of the points, is just pointing out some similarities, not making it sound like definite references.

EW
Can this be of any use for the article? "I appreciate that it’s different from the shtick she’s tried with her party anthems, but piggybacking so close to “We Found Love” by Rihanna isn’t doing this song any favors." My love is love (talk) 14:33, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

What is the point, seriously.
What's the point in having a talk page, where you are mean't to discuss things which people feel should perhaps be changed, if someone is going to change the name of the article without asking or giving any explanation as to why. Calvin  &bull; Talk That Talk 16:27, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

We Found Love (video) → We Found Love (music video) – "Video" usually refers to video/DVD releases, such as In the Zone (video) and The Immaculate Collection (video). Pancake (talk) 16:29, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

I think the article should point out also the blatant similarities with Radioactive by Marina and the Diamonds, some critics must have noted it--94.36.28.21 (talk) 20:35, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

Supposed "controversy"
Am I alone in finding the "controversy" section very silly? We have a "John Colonnello, a youth pastor from Athens, Alabama", a "Brandon Ward, a youth pastor of Oasis Christian Center in Staten Island", and one Doreen Reegan of the "Ulster Cancer Foundation" (whose opinion was so important it had to be sourced from the Hindustan Times of all places). Who are these people? What makes their opinions notable? Surely for controversy or criticism to be valid content it has to be from some person or some organisation of significance? I propose deleting the entire section, with the only salvageable content from it, the watershed banning on a french TV station, moved to another place if a source for it can be found (currently cited source is dead). 89.242.189.105 (talk) 01:29, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
