Well, actually I am not .. but that was what Madonna was insinuating in a TV programme a couple of days ago. I didn't see all of it but a friend was watching a recording of it a few days ago when I turned up at his house.
During one of the songs, the backdrop showed the RWS - single cards were shown and within them, elements and characters moved, as the camera span though Coleman Smith's landscapes. Unfortunately, I didn't see all that was going on, since one of 'M's' dancers was gigging about infront of the screen for the majority of the time - but it was very inspiring and looked very well done. I have always loved the illustrations of the RWS and it really brought them to life in a different way than I had imagined.
In another part of the film, one of her children was hammering a plastic sword into a table - and through a deck of cards that lay on it. They were not face upwards so I couldn't tell if they were tarot or not, even though they looked too big to be a conventional playing card deck. If they were, we can assume that the 'Queen of Pop' does not believe in keeping her deck in a wooden box and allows whoever to touch (or stab) them.
Interesting to see the cards in this show. I didn't see anymore of this film because even though I like and admire her, I didn't find what I did see that interesting. Did anyone else see this? Were there any other references to the cards within it?
