Wyman must have seen Truth or Dare at least three times to come up with the frame by frame dissertation he did on it. Pretty good for someone supposedly repulsed by his subject’s cinematic intentions. However, he misses the whole point about Madonna–people enjoy her, and are entertained by her–no matter if her movie is preconceived self-promotion or a spontaneous documentation. Why does he think people are going to see this movie? Madonna has a hole in her psyche that propels her to seek the spotlight and attention she now receives. Maybe there is no inner Madonna–maybe in this case what you see is really what you get. Maybe she’s just a shallow, grasping woman, who gives us her entertainer’s shell so we can fill it up by keeping our eye on her. Don’t overestimate Madonna.
How come I don’t hear Deborah Harry’s “Heart of Glass” or Pat Benatar’s “Heartbreaker”?
