While it is true that Madonna is without question completely in control of all aspects of her career and most of her personal life, what is not true is that she used this piece of film to manipulate our feelings about her. Instead she used this to poke fun at her own ego, persona, and life-style. Yes, I do feel that many things in this film were staged. Yes, I do think there are some out-and-out lies. But, fortunately for me, I can think past what is being presented to me to find that “Gee, that was staged, I think there is probably something she’s trying to say by staging that.”
You must also admit that there are certain emotions that came through even if the moment had been staged. After all every critic from coast to coast has already stated what a simply horrid actress she is. Or am I supposed to believe that she suddenly was able to change the minds of at least half of those critics? I happen to think she is an underrated actress as is, but I do believe some of the things in Truth or Dare.
Finally to quote Madonna herself, “Even a lie can be telling.” Ain’t that the truth!
Sorry I got the song title wrong.
