Rhianna man down narrative

The video starts of with an opening sequence of a train station and in it Rhianna shoots a man , this immediatly identifies her as a villain , The next scene is her walking around a town she appears to be freindly and popular and conforms more to Vladimir Propps princess charachter , she is shown smiling and embracing children . The shot then changes to the artist looking upset with dim emotive lighting on a bed , and the lyrics explain her regret for the shooting , the subsequent shots show her throughout the day maintaining the princess role which carries on into the evening , where she is assaulted by what turns out to be the real villain of the story and on learning this rhianna turns from the princess into the hero defeating the villain.
