The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvf1DMDTosk music video], directed by Marilyn Manson using James Cameron's 3D camera (wrongly believed by some to have been directed by Cameron himself) begins with clips of Manson and [[Evan Rachel Wood]] having sex (although the footage is not explicit in any way) with the song "[[Evidence]]" playing in the background. After the short sex scene is over, Manson and Evan are shown in a car driving while Manson is taking pictures of Evan posing with a butcher knife. After this, the song begins to play, and Manson is shown performing in front of a crowd in a dimly lit room; Evan stands in the midst of the dancing crowd, literally wearing heart-shaped glasses. The performance is interspliced with scenes of them driving and having sex while blood rains down upon them. At the end of the song, they are shown again driving the car as they utter the words "Together as one - against all others", right before driving off a cliff. The complete music video is over seven minutes long; however, the more common [http://youtube.com/watch?v=NX1fqMGQWtI edited version] of the video is barely over five minutes, and does not include the lengthy intro. Manson is quoted by [http://www.theinsider.com/news/178389_Marilyn_Manson_talks_about_having_sex_with_Evan_Rachel_Wood_in_his_video the Insider] regarding Evan's paycheck for the video appearance "

I did insist that Evan be paid the most that any actress has ever been paid in music-video history to be in this, even though she wouldn’t have asked for it. There’s no one else that could’ve been in it, because it was inspired by her.”
