Runaway

This film is pure genius. After watching this, I realized how complex of a person Kanye really is. The fact that he not only used his own music, but he also directed the film was unbelievable. He uses intense metaphoric language in the film and as a poet I found it rather exciting.

First, my opinion of Kanye West's Runaway is completely unbiased. I normally listen to indie rock, never voluntarily listened to Kanye and never gave it much thought.

Then I stumbled across his website and began to watch the video. I was immediately curious. The story line was intriguing. Slightly confusing at first, but I was definitely interested. The effects were aesthetically pleasing. Selita Ebanks did an amazing (and very sexy) job as The Phoenix. Runaway is a work of art. I would consider it Hip Hops version of (Pink Floyd's) The Wall.

Kanye did a fantastic job. It's not a stereo typical rap video of big booty women, expensive cars and random pit bulls. It's very well thought out, well written, well edited, well acted and the music is amazing.

I also feel the ballerinas should be mentioned as well because that particular scene was incredible and I can't begin to describe it.

I highly recommend watching it for yourself so you can make your own opinion.

Mbdtf is one of the most great things that ever happened to hi hp its so well made

The discontent that is shown on his face. What it means is not supposed to be finite. It is a love story. It has many versions of songs that it would typically not have. This is true art. A true musical.

However you take this, is totally dependent on yourself. It is filled with symbolization and metaphors, but there is no true way to know what they all actually mean.

A beautiful dark twisted fantasy.

I have no clue what the hell is happening in this movie. I don't know if it's a concept or if Kanye got bored.
