Eminem's Love The Way You Lie Blurs Line Between Reality & Fiction
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ART IMITATING LIFE AND LIFE IMITATING ART?
The director of Eminem's new video to the hit Love The Way You Lie isn't based on Em and Kim, or Chris Brown and Rihanna.
"It's not a story about Eminem or Rihanna," Director Joseph Kahn tells MTV. "These are fictional characters in my head but obviously based on real human."
So he was merely inspired by Em's stormy relationship with twice exwife Kim but the video isn't about Em and Kim? And the video's storyline has nothing to do with Rihanna and Chris Brown's violent love?
If this is the official storyline, someone should have fed it to Lost actor Dominic Monaghan, who's been busy drawing from point A to B in interviews.
. "The concept of 'Love the Way You Lie' was essentially a look at the relationship that Eminem was in with his wife, Kim, so I kind of felt like I was playing Eminem a little bit, and Megan Fox was kind of playing Kim," Monaghan has said. It's the story of them getting to know each other, and it's the story of their tumultuous relationship, and it was the story of the breakdown of their relationship."
"Ultimately, what I think he's trying to say in the song ... is that he should have walked away a little bit quicker than he did and not let it get as messy as it did."
Monaghan said of his fictional abusive relationship with Megan Fox on the video:
”All his motivation, every forward step that he takes is based on his anger. We're supposed to be desperately in love, like Bonnie and Clyde style, like Sid and Nancy, John and Yoko ... Eminem and Kim."
Here's the video is in case you've just crawled out from under a rock.
