Originally set in a church, the audience
automatically assume the song to be about God/Jesus. However, the burning cross
represents the lyrics to the song as being a “sin” rather than a biblical
reference, highlighting the rude metaphor.
A lot of metal is put into the mise-en-scene,
it gives the idea of Madonna being in jail. This could represent the crime
which she earlier witnesses in the video, or be a reflection of the captivity
she is in.
Lots of red lighting and backgrounds
represent the colours of hell.
Red is also the colour of sex. Her
costume gives the impression of lust and desire and makes us think of her as
“easy.”
The top photos suggests a cold, lonely
environment suggesting the emotion of fear.
The kiss of jesus,
could also reflect the kiss of Judas.
This
means betrayal which could represent why
Jesus walks out of the church near the
end of the Video.
