Top Comments of this video!! :3
Madonna ALWAYS pushed the boundaries, was always controversial, always unapologetic, always an advocate for human/social rights .. She walked the walk, as women she taught us to be fearless. Her music is still amazing 40 years on. Madonna deserves SO much more respect than she gets ... LONG LIVE THE QUEEN OF POP 👑👠💋

People today don't realize exactly how big of a deal this video was when it came out. At the time, Madonna was pretty much the biggest star in the world, maybe tied with Michael Jackson, but even he was a bit past his prime. She was it. And when this video was released, literally hell broke loose. It was immediately banned by MTV (still an extremely relevant channel at the time), and the controversy was all anyone could talk about. It was released on VHS tape -- the first song to be released as a 'video single', I think. She was on 60 Minutes, she was on every magazine cover, and Tipper Gore was all over it. And really, compared to everything that had come before it, this video was extremely explicit. Nobody had seen a major pop star behave like this before. I was 13, and my parents wouldn't let me watch it at all. I of course found a way, but it was like nothing I had ever seen.
Nowadays we have constant access to basically any kind of video you can imagine, including every variety of pornography in existence. We barely even think twice about seeing a celebrity or pop star naked or even on a sex tape. But in 1990, it was unheard of to see the biggest star in the world perform sexually like this. Madonna deserves a lot of credit for doing it tastefully.
Now she’s a lunatic alien plastic surgery zombie, unfortunately, but there was a time when she was extremely sharp and relevant.

I was in my 20s/30s during Madonna's earlier days. That was 30-40 years ago. Now that I'm older and wiser, I'm just now re-watching the Justify My Love video. And I gotta say....the cinematography in this is a work of art...the art direction...the lighting...the hair and makeup.... really well done!
