Rihanna’s new video for “We Found Love” from her upcoming album Talk that Talk is generating a lot of buzz, and leaving many wondering if there is a subliminal message she is trying to send.

The mini-movie lasts a little over more than 4 minutes, and in it we see Rihanna take on a good girl gone bad persona, all the while enjoying a turbulent romance with a Chris Brown look-a-like. Actor Dudley O’Shaughnessy has a striking resemblance to the current Chris Brown of 2011 with a similar complexion, bleached blond hair, tattoos and gaunt features.

In the video we see Rihanna drinking alcohol, doing drugs, having sex, fighting and falling in and out love.

There are several scenes in “We Found Love” that could have a hidden meaning and possibly reveal Rihanna’s true feelings on her past romance with Chris Brown and how she feels about her ex today.
