I love this song and these vids so very much. It's a terrible shame the best parts - the ending of the Brazil version and the entire prison version didn't get any proper air time back when they were launched OR now. They are such powerful statements. 'My boy' Spike sure did his job well in directing them both.
I really love the energy of the people, the Olodum beat and the intensity of the ending of the Brazil version. I remember many years ago i was going to school or something and i saw this guy on the metro wearing an Olodum t-shirt just like Michael's in the vid. I was sooo tempted to go and ask him where he had it from, but i didn't lol.
I also gotta be honest (no offense to you Ash, my friend, but i gotta keep it real) - if i had to choose between the two i would go for the prison version probably because the political dimension is much clearer. Actually, from my point of view the ideal TDCAU video is made up of the prison version with the Brazil ending lol, but since no one did that editing, from what i know of, at least....
I know this thread is dedicated to the amazing Brazil version, but please allow me to also post a link to the powerhouse which IS the prison version

Ain't even gonna go comment on how great Michael looked in both of them cause it's an axiom. Who was it that had that great siggy with the google search for sexy and 'did you mean Michael Jackson?'
